To face death for your faith

London has recently witnessed several terrorist attacks, most of which ISIS has claimed responsibility for, but this week there was another attack against the Muslim community in London as man rams car into crowd killing one and injuring 12 Muslims as they were leaving a mosque after performing special prayers during the holy month of Ramadan.

The victims were innocent people as always, but this time, the terrorist attack targeted Mulim people coming out of a mosque. Indeed, the Muslim community was shocked to have its share of the terrorist attacks in London. The horrible incident reminds us of several attacks against Copts in Egypt; Nag Hamadi, Warraq and the Saints Church in Alexandria to name a few, but the reaction of the Muslim majority in Egypt was a little bit different from the one of the Muslim minority in London though the attacks are similar.
 
The Muslims used to denounce the attacks, but took no action to prevent further attacks. This time they had to face the same act that many savages do in Egypt against the original citizens of this country. 
 
Brutal, bloody and barbarian are the words used to describe similar attacks against the Copts for years, but when it became so close to target the Muslim community itself. The demands became slightly different and practical since Muslims in London expressed their anger and demanded the government to take extra security measures to prevent further attacks.
 
I hope that neither Muslims nor Christians have to face such attacks since it is very bad to face death because of your faith. All of us know that now for sure.
