President Morsi stated in his meetings with the media as well Egyptian American community members during his visit to New York that Egyptian Christians suffer no mistreatment what so ever as religious minority in Egypt especially with the rise of Islamists in power.
“All Egyptians are one , all Egyptians are equal” Morsi told US media as well Egyptian Americans yesterday at the Egyptian consulate in New York on Wednesday yet unfortunately in 24 hours or even less he is proven to be wrong after what happened in Al Arish.
The Christian families in the city of Rafah have been receiving threats for some time now from alleged Jihadi Salafist militant groups that want them to leave Rafah. We thought back in Cairo that were just unreal threats but today I heard that militants opened their fire on a Christian shop owner forcing the families to head for the governor asking him to transfer them in Al Arish for their safety , the city capital of North Sinai. According to activists there were flyers distributed by those unknown militants claiming that Rafah now is an Islamic principality !! The families had to leave for fear on their safety and do not ask where the security is from all this because it seems that Sinai is out control !!
This is considered a forced displacement and it is not the first time it happens to Christian families unfortunately since the revolution or before that or in the era of President Morsi. Of course in the past the Christian families return to their homes after these sessions of talks between the elderly, church men , government and sheikhs in those areas they forced to leave. I do not know who will talk with Rafah militants this time !? The Salafists or Al Gama’a Al Islamiyya.
This is another test you are failing constantly Mr. President , Christians do not feel that you are a president for all Egyptians.
President’s assistant Samir Marcus should do something quickly as well President’s advisors Ayman El Sayyad and Sakina Fouad, yes I mention them by name because I trust more than other member in the president team.
By the way I do understand the anger of Christians from those radical militants but I do not understand or can tolerate any racist comments about Egyptian Bedouin tribes. The Bedouin tribes suffer from those radical militants and the government more than the Christians and it is enough how they are being regarded by the Egyptians from the valley. We will not solve intolerance by radicalism.
I will not also accept that talk about Palestinian invasion.
Ironically the e-MB committees in social media are all quiet after knowing that scandal in Sinai , they do not even speak about Amr Hamzawy’s controversial op-ed in Al Watan anymore !!
