The Islamic State has announced the killing of 21 Eyptian Christians who were abducted from Libya early in January.
A report issued on the internet by the Islamic State said that the Coptic Christians were killed in “revenge for the Muslim women persecuted by Coptic crusaders in Egypt.” The reference was evidently to an incident in which two Egyptian women married to Copts were allegedly pressured to repudiate Islam.
The Egyptian government has not confirmed the deaths of the 21 kidnapping victims, but fears that the internet report is accurate.

May Christ who rose from the dead, our true God, moved by the intercession of his spotless Mother and of all the Saints, place the souls of His departed servants, in the tabernacles of the just;
May He lay them to rest in the bosom of Abraham, numbering him among the just;
And may He, who is both good and kind, have mercy upon us. Amen.
Amen
Al-Sisi’ response or lack thereof will be important.

Prayers up for our brothers and sisters in the Middle East and Africa.
I hope that they’re finally putting it together that every time there is a public denial by our “president”, it means that he approves of the acts being done is the name of his muslim faith.
This is what the world looks like with weak, feckless leadership coming out of the white house.
It’s time for others to practice the Jordanian method of dealing with terrorists.
Eradication is the only way to deal with them. They won’t listen to anything else.
