bukan ancaman kosong, krn nabi pedophilenya jg melakukan hal yg sama.

A group of Christian priests from a local Coptic church in Egypt were told
to convert to Islam or face death, according to an Arabic news site.

The incident, which comes in the midst of continued persecution and
pressure on Egypt’s Christian community, took place this week in the town
of Safaga, near the Red Sea, the El Balad site reported.

According to El Balad, the threats are from a new group in Egypt, Jihad
al-Kufr*, *whose name translates to Jihad against non-believers or
non-Muslims. The group targets non-Muslims, and reportedly pressures them
to convert to Islam.

“It’s not the first time. This is happening every day,” said Adel Guindy,
president of Coptic Solidarity and a member of Egypt’s Coptic community who
travels between Paris and Cairo. “This one incident caught the attention of
the news agencies, but there are worse things happening to the Christians
every day in Egypt,” he said.

Christians have felt increasingly at risk since the fall of former
President Hosni Mubarak in 2011, which resulted in the rise of President
Mohammed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood movement.

“It has definitely worsened under the revolution. Once the worst part of
the society surfaced -- the Islamists -- the Copts are paying a heavy
price. The West doesn’t really feel our pain. It’s a war of attrition,”
Guindy said.

Copts are the largest Christian community in the Middle East, and the most
prominent religious minority in the region. Christians make up about 10
percent of Egypt’s 85 million people.

Egypt’s new constitution has come under scrutiny by many for including
elements of Sharia, or Islamic law, while simultaneously legitimizing the
marginalization of the country’s religious minorities by denying them legal
protection. It also granted increased powers to Morsi, who self-declared
sweeping powers in a Nov. 22 power grab that prompted heavy international
criticism.

The new constitution was ratified after its second referendum in late
December, winning more than 70 percent of the vote. Moderate Egyptians took
to the streets to protest the rushed ratification, but the demonstrations
were quickly quashed.

Some believe members of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic
extremists, emboldened by the constitution’s passage, have stepped up
attacks against Egyptian Christians.

“There was a relative amount of freedom (for Christians) before Egypt’s
revolution, and many were hoping for more freedoms, and now things are
unfortunately much worse and much more difficult,” said Jason DeMars,
founder of Present Truth Ministries, a Christian advocacy group that tracks
religious persecution around the world.

“It’s what they’ve always wanted to do, but Mubarak held some of that back
because of the support he got from the United States and other Western
countries,” DeMars said. “People were paying attention, but now the
extremists are seeing this as an opportunity to crack down on the community
there.”

Extremists over the weekend set fire to a Christian Church in the Province
of Fayoum, the second such assault against the town’s Coptic population in
a month. The attackers ripped down the church’s cross and hurled rocks at
church members, injuring four people including the priest, according to a
report by Morning Star News.

There have also been several reported cases of rape and harassment of
Coptic women. Two women in traditional Islamic headdress cut off the hair
of two Christian women on the subway in Cairo in December, the Egypt
Independent reported. It was the third such incident in two months.

And last week, an Egyptian court forced two Coptic Christian boys, ages 10
and 9, to face trial for “insulting the Koran,” according to reports. The
boys were arrested after playing in a pile of trash, which authorities
claimed included pages of the Koran.

Egypt's Coptic Christian leader, Pope Tawadros II, spoke openly this month
when he dismissed the new constitution as discriminatory.

"We are a part of the soil of this nation and an extension of the pharaohs
and their age before Christ,” he told the Associated Press. “Yes, we are a
minority in the numerical sense, but we are not a minority when it comes to
value, history, interaction and love for our nation."
