matrys behead for our Christian faith does the BBC know?

Around ten percent of Egypt's population are Coptic Christians, amounting to approximately 8.5 million people. Christians and Muslims have generally lived together peacefully in the country for hundreds of years.
The first democratically-elected president of Egypt, Mohammad Morsi, was removed from power by the military following nationwide protests last year.
Since then, a number of churches and Christian properties were burned and destroyed in south of the country, which is poorer and home to many believers


Twenty-one Coptic Egyptians were abducted in the Libyan city of Sirte on two separate occasions in December and January, only one week apart.

Last week, pictures purported to show the Egyptian abductees went viral on social media after they were published by a magazine affiliated with Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria.

Egypt has maintained that reports on the abductees’ deaths have yet to be verified.

Our faith is under attack
while we sit so peacefuly in the west
ignorant or simply not bothered about the state of our eastern brothers
where is the unity?
The first century christians where concerned for the world
they busied themselves
firstly with the world,
secondly with own lived in community,
then with them selves.
It the other way around now days
we concerned with self,FIRST AND FOREMOST
`getting to heaven`
secondly just a bit about the community, NOT A GREAT DEAL
nothing really about the world,
our nation.
Is our faith a fake or a joke
What have we lost?

"More dodgy faith/theology from the spiritofthestreets"

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
