There were several attacks this week by people claiming to be real Muslims against the Church of the Virgin and St. Karas in Ezbet Sultan, Minya, and another attack to prevent the use of a church to the house of service next door. This crisis began after the Church attempt to install cameras and doors of the church as per the security instructions, which raised fear of some fanatics that they will appear in media if they want to practice their right to attack the church at any time they want!
Police arrested three assailants and other names were reported by the Copts hoping that police will prevent further attacks after the church was attacked thrice in one month!
In Zeitoun village, in Beni Suef, the Christians were insulted inside the church by the policeman who was assigned to secure the church. He simply described them as infidels!
This is the attack number 11 in two months. Moreover, only 4 churches were built in two years according to the law of building churches at the time hundreds of Copts don t have a place to pray!
In Upper Egypt more than 350 villages don t have churches or have only inhuman places in which people are allowed to pray only if they are allowed to by the fanatics and the police!
The truth is we need a vision to apply the law for the sake of the homeland and the right to pray. Terrorism has failed to carry out its evil plans, but it returns now to target Christians with more than 14 cases in 6 months. I believe that police knows the defendants and inciters very well.
