The persecuted Church

 


The Persecuted Church - what the media are not covering.

  • Understanding the presentsituation in Egypt: what is God doing?
    This is a compilation of a number of reports from Egyptian friends and others living in Egypt.

    There are many misunderstandings about whatis happening in Egypt today. These misunderstandings
    are mainly propagated by the usually balanced international media such as the BBC and especially by
    AlJazeera that portrays the MuslimBrotherhood as victims of injustice.

    The reality is different. 
    President Morsi was democratically elected in June 2012. Out of a population of 85million, 13million
    people voted for Morsi. He won the vote by a very narrow margin of less than 1%. Morsi and his party,
    the Muslim Brotherhood, took this as amandate to do what they wanted. So the new government was
    not inclusive. Leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood were appointed as governors of districts in Egypt and
    as government ministers. Some of these governors and ministers had previous convictions for violence.
