This is not good:
CBN NEWS – The Islamic State in Egypt is vowing more attacks on Egyptian Christians.
A new video released by ISIS shows the suicide bomber who attacked a Cairo church last December, killing 29, with the narrator vowing the attack was “only the beginning.”
Christians are their “favorite prey,” he declares, promising they will liberate Cairo.
Egypt’s Coptic Christians make up around 10 percent of the population.
Following the ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, attacks against Egyptian Christians have increased.
ISIS-affiliated terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula gunned down at least three Christians in the city of el-Arish.
In Egypt’s rural areas, radical Islamists frequently attack Christians in their homes and businesses.
Here’s more from Reuters:
The masked man in battle-dress, whom the group identified as Abu Abdallah al-Masri, is seen encouraging militants all over the world not to give up and promising Islamists jailed in Egypt they will be freed soon, when the group “liberates” Cairo.
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi had already identified the bomber as a 22-year-old student called Mahmoud Shafik, and it is believed Abu Abdallah al-Masri was his assumed name. He had been detained for two months in 2014 before joining an Islamic State cell in Sinai, the government said.
“Finally, to my brothers in captivity: rejoice, you believers, do not falter or grieve. I swear to God we will very soon liberate Cairo and free you from captivity. We will come bearing explosives, I swear we will, so rejoice you believers,” he said in the video.
Some of you might go ‘ho hum another threat by ISIS’, but the reason I say it’s ‘not good’ is simply because the threat is happening in a Muslim majority country where Christians are already regularly terrorized by Muslims.
This can only serve to increase that threat to Christians, whether ISIS follows through with it or not.
