Egyptian Christians, known as Copts, are living their lives in fear and many are fleeing the country as jihad organizations are vowing to wipe out the entire Christian population of Egypt if they do not convert to Islam. These organization are handing out pamphlets that state their intentions; and are even offering money to those who kill or hurt the "enemies of Allah," (referring to Christians). They have already begun to do so as there have been reports of Christians being crucified in public areas in Egypt. Also, these groups are said to be going into Christian homes and killing entire families; including children. The same persecution of Christians is happening in Nigeria and other Islam-dominated areas of the world. In some parts, Christians are being murdered for public worship or converting to Christianity from Islam. Why is the rest of the world being silent?
The love of this world is truly growing cold. My heart goes out to each and every person in Egypt that is affected by this violence.
