Egyptian Christians say they are 'under organized attack'

Prophecy Sign:  Increased Christian persecution around the world.

There are well over a billion Muslims around the world.  Most are quite happy to live their lives without bothering with other people or other religions.  However there are many millions of radical Muslims that would like nothing better that to run Christians, Jews and any another other non-Islamic religion out of their countries and for that matter, off the face of the earth as well.  These radicals consider anyone not of the radical Islamic bent to be infidels and open to persecution and even death.

This is what is now happening all across the Muslim Middle East, as Christians are encountering increasing persecution from Pakistan to Egypt.  As racial Islam takes over in these nations, Christians are more and more coming under fire, (both literally and figuratively).  Please pray for these persecuted Middle Eastern Christians.

They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. John 16:2 NIV

From the articles:
A priest whose church was at the centre of sectarian riots at the weekend has said Egyptian Christians were "under organized attack" as religious authorities warned the country was at risk of civil war. Armed troops and riot police guarded the streets around St Mena's church and nearby burned-out shops and apartment blocks in the impoverished, crumbling Cairo suburb of Imbaba. Inside, Father Cherubim Awad said a conspiracy was the only possible explanation for the violence that had engulfed relations between Christians and Muslims in recent weeks. "Five churches were attacked on the same night," he said. "From the beginning of this year we have had all these attacks in a short space of time.  "There is some hidden hand behind this, whether from inside the country or outside it."

Police in Chichawatni, Sahiwal district have charged a mentally ill Christian with “injuring religious feelings” under Pakistan’s widely condemned blasphemy laws.  Three families related to 25-year-old Babar Masih – the only other Christian families in the area – have fled their homes after a Muslim mob threatened to harm them, relatives of the accused told Compass.
