Most distressing news.
and just a rumor. Not that it matters either way what provoked it, but it just shows the hatred and that they’ll do anything to kill Christians (and Jewish people I will add or just anyone that isn’t them and doesn’t live by their rules.)
oh yes, and they killers will be regarded as heroes too. vile people.
Religion of Peace alert
Yet another Christian is killed for their beliefs. May he be welcomed in Heaven by the angels, and may his attacker feel the flames of eternal punishment for his actions.
Is this part of the “moderate” Islamic movement that the West is waiting for? We need to face the reality of Islam already.
It is the P.R.O.P.

Phony religion - Phony peace
Hard at work making their “belief system” known...

Prayers for families ...
Could be worse, cops could have looked the other way.
I hope this man kept the faith throughout his ordeal.
...the courts will.
No, they certainly did not look the other way. In fact, they arrested the younger brother who was also attacked.
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.
And they cried with a loud voice, saying: “How long, O Lord (holy and true) dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?”
And white robes were given to every one of them one; and it was said to them, that they should rest for a little time, till their fellow servants, and their brethren, who are to be slain, even as they, should be filled up.
-—The Apocalypse of St. John Chapter 6:9-11
My prayers go out to the Shihata family and to the martyr church in Egypt.
May the angels lead you into Paradise.
May the martyrs come to greet you on the way.
May they lead you home to the holy city,
to the new and eternal Jerusalem.
May the choirs of angels come to welcome you.
May they take you to the arms of Abraham,
where Lazarus is poor no longer,
and there may you find rest, rest eternal.
Light eternal shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.
Amen
I will be at the Divine Liturgy tomorrow with Coptic Christians. They regularly tell of violence directed against their people by the Mohammedans as they get regular reports from their families. That said, they also have very close friends who are Mohammedans; in fact the youngest of them, a 22 year old girl who married an American guy, has a Mohammedan as her best friend. All the Copts say that the majority of the Mohammedans are fine but that the government oppresses Christians of all types and that radical Islam is definitely on a very fast rise.
