“We were very stupid.” It is a statement of grief, uttered by many Christian women living in Upper Egypt. They are marginalized because they are Christian, then marginalized again because they are women.

“The biggest problem for our people that makes them leave this village is because of the land grabbing,” explains a village elder. Like many families in the region, they are shepherds. Villages own large sections of land, giving them legal rights to graze their livestock. The rule is simple: graze your livestock on your village’s land.
Land grabbing breaks this rule—and so much more. Statistically, the land grabbing of Christian areas has caused a more rapid decline of Christianity from the country than the genocide of ISIS.
With ICC’s support and that of other legal partners, a court case was opened. Having someone outside the village, monitoring and ensuring that their case moved forward, was essential. Thankfully, this time the courts ruled in favor of the Christian villagers, protecting their property rights. Although their Muslim neighbors have opened an appeal to contest the decision, this was an important step forward.
Sometimes, and often in ways more sinister, it is the slow drip of rights being taken away. But at least in this valley, the active presence of Christianity continues for another day. Read more: bit.ly/37MNpqH

Painful as it is, it must sound familiar to many non-Christians who saw their lands grabbed by us Christians. Have we ever expressed our apologies?
This is how Islam grows, its an easy way to grow rich, stealing what belings to tgose who are not Muslims.

Seems they are inviting degrees of a annihilation.
If it’s their property , they can improve and make money from tourists visit .If they cannot get rid of snakes and rats they can demolish the building and construct a consulate and engrave on the wall in memory of Esther and Mordechai.
May the Lord send Angels in armour to prevent the wicked schemes of the devil and his angels!
Iranian govt : they really became to what they behold, the same as other country eg Afghanistan 🇦🇫 . Praying that God bless the Christians in Iran with boldness & courage to continue spread the Word & in keeping the faith . God bless Iran 🇮🇷 🙏🏾❤️
Jesus Christ is God of the living not a God of the Dead.
Esther and Mordechai will always be remembered, with or without tomb
God said; I will stir up the Medes.
Unconfirmed therefore not to be made into hyperbolic evidence. Praying for Iran
If it's unconfirmed, let's not post it. Wait until you have positive evidence of it.
this is a crime against Christianity, who is responsible for this?
this is not our true home all this here will one day be gone
Let them do as they wish,after all they tried during Esther/Mordecai and failed, the same God still lives to this day.
There flags represent who they are 😂
No worries. She’s not in there .
Their are foolish it could only bring bad luck upon them
Them mecca is next.
It is True, Israel reported on this.
Sending Prayers.

Strange. I'd always believed that the old testament books were accepted as scripture in Islam -which would surely make these as much Muslim holy sites as Christian and Jewish holy sites. Maybe my understanding is flawed though.

Why are they tempting God?

I thank God for the speed in her rescue. May the Lord grant her quick healing and recovery. To God alone be the glory.
So good that the police could rescue this girl and bring her back home to her parents! May she receive help for her traumas and may she feel God the Father's loving arms around her.
Great that she's back with her family. But quite apart from the whole honour/shame issue she and her family now face locally, if word gets out that she is returning to Christianity, the local Islamic militants will consider her an apostate from Islam. Somehow, I doubt we have yet heard the last of this matter. Definitely time for some serious prayers 🙏🙏🙏
Praise the Lord she was rescued!
May her family accept her as she is and get help if she needs it!
Psalm 35:3-4 KJV
[3]Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. [4] Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
Psalm 40:14-16 KJV
[14]Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. [15] Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. [16] Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.
Praise Jesus!
Praise God. She's back to her family
Glory be to our God, the Lord Jesus!
Amen! The judge even ordered she marry her kidnaper! God is great
