Wahhabism and sister Amira

What happened to Egypt, which was the first to know and teach civilization? This country was the first to liberate slaves, abolish slavery and the tribute created by the invading Arabs. Egypt has lost its moderation after the defeat of 1967, which was accompanied by the migration of Egyptian labor to the Saudi Arabia to learn Wahhabism. After Sadat came in power, he called himself the faithful president and promised to destroy Christianity in Egypt. He collaborated with extremists who spread fanaticism in Egypt and converted Islam into racist and sectarian religion that hates the others and persecute them.  

Such sectarianism expanded to call all different Muslims infidels as long as they are not Wahhabi. The truth is that terrorism all over the world is related to Wahhabism. Yet, the same ideology is taught to students in Al-Azhar University. 

This introduction was necessary to know the causes of terrible events occurred this month in Naja Muhaydat, Luxor. Several people demonstrated demanding the family of a Coptic minor girl to hand over their daughter claiming she has converted into Islam. The young Muslim man Ibrahim Mohamed, 19 years old, headed to her house claiming he got married to the young girl.

Muslim mobs besieged the houses of Christians in the village seeking the victory of Islam and the return of their Muslim sister Amira. Moreover, Sheikh Haitham Bakry, Imam of Mohidat mosque, and a former MP led the demonstrators and tried  to hold customary session to force the Christian family to hand over the girl to decide which religion she wants to follow. Yet, her family refused to obey such odd demand concerning a minor girl.

Aiman Zarif, Coptic activist, said that such attack was incited by members of the Muslim Brotherhood aiming to ruin the celebration of choosing Luxor the capital of Arabic culture and to prevent the Copts in America from supporting President Al-Sisi during his visit to Washington.
