Coptic Priest Murdered in Sinai

The priest's murder came after Muslim Brotherhood supporters criticized Coptic Orthodox Patriarch Tawadros II for backing the military's removal of President Mohammed Morsi from power July 3.

Christians fear they are being targeted for attack as many Morsi supporters blame them for the recent turn of events in the country.

Lord have mercy.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

The slaughter of Christians throughout the Middle East and in other Muslim nations is heart-breaking. Especially when it is Western nations that support these butchers.
Canada has announced that it will allow 15,000 Syrian "refugees" to immigrate. Naturally, none of these will be the Christians who are facing extermination, but those identified as "freedom fighters."

As an aside, Maria, are Copts considered Orthodox? Aren't they Monophysites? In any case, they have endured 1400 years of Muslim tyranny.
