Konflikt i Egypten angående prästfruar som ”konverterat” till islam. Tusentals muslimer demonsterar.

Thousands of Muslim demonstrators gathered in front St. Mark’s Cathedral in Cairo, vowing not to leave until they know the whereabouts of Coptic women, especially Camilia Shehata  who allegedly converted to Islam but are held against their will by the Coptic Orthodox Church in monasteries and churches. The sit-in was called for by the newly-founded Coalition for the Support of New Muslims.

The Cathedral was cordoned off by the military police and security forces. Cairo saw today three separate protests staged by Salafis against Pope Shenouda and the church, marching afterwards to the Coptic Cathedral in Abbasiya. The first demonstration was in front of El-Fatah mosque in Ramsis Square, the second in front of Al-Nour mosque Abbasiya Square, and the third came out of the Sharia Association mosque in Ramsis.

The protesters demanded the resolution of the ”ten demands”, which they called for last Sunday, during their protest in front of the el-Kayed Ibrahim mosque in Alexandria, mainly the ”trial of Pope Shenouda”, ” the release of Camelia Shehata and Wafaa Constantine” and ”inspection of monasteries and churches to look for Muslim women held by the church.”

The Muslims chanted ”Islamic, Islamic, against your will, Islamic” in front of the Cathedral and ”They abducted Wafaa Constantine, By Allah we will not be silent” and ”With our souls and blood, we will defend Islam.” They held banners and photos of the alleged Muslim converts who were allegedly abducted by the church, as well as banners calling for an Islamic State

At the time of their afternoon prayers, thousands of Muslims prayed with the organizers, who asked the demonstrators to turn their backs to the Cathedral.

Islamic lawyer Mamdouh Ismail gave a speech in which he called for the realization of human rights and the rule of law, pointing out that this sit-in is not directed against the cathedral as a house of worship for Christians, whom he described as partners in the homeland. He also asked the Christians ”to participate in the demonstrations demanding the appearance of Camelia.” In the same context, Khalid Al Harbi, director of the ”Islamic Observatory against Proselytizing,” said ”we will not go and we will not plead with anyone, but we will take our rights with our own hands.”

Haha va sysslar dem med – gud vad dom gör bort sig – Varken Camilia eller Wafa har någonsin konverterat till Islam. Taget från http://aina.org/news/20110429200548.htmnnnnnnnnnnn

Ifall någon kommer ihåg så var kyrkomassakern i bagdad förra året på grund just detta ämne – där man krävde att den koptiska kyrkan skulle ”frige” kvinnorna. Jag vill egentligen inte tänka tanken men jag är nog rädd att konsekvenserna för kopterna i egypten i framtiden kommer att bli blodiga. Se på deras exempel vilka kristna dem är – trots förföljelse så finns dt ingen koptisk terrorist grupp inte heller finns det någon irakisk kristen milis =) ”Ni skall vara världens Ljus”
