Since August 14, just two days ago,\u00a0 over 5o churches have been looted, ransacked, and\/or burned, reportedly by US backed, pro-Morsi, Muslim Brotherhood mobs. Watching CBS evening news tonight, I saw nothing on this aspect of the over-arching violence. I called the White House comment line to let them know I am alarmed\u00a0by this slaughter of Christians and that I wanted President Obama to do two things:<\/p>\n
1. Denounce this brutal, hateful\u00a0slaughter of Christians<\/p>\n
2. Remove all financial backing to the Muslim Brotherhood and all other political\u00a0entities\u00a0involved in this civil war.<\/p>\n
I am posting a CNN article on this intense attack against Christians—including Catholics, Coptics, Baptists, Evangelicals, Greek Orthodox, and Adventists. Homes, businesses, and non-profit offices were also targeted. An Adventist couple have been kidnapped. More than a few convents housing nuns have been burned to the ground. Our brothers and sisters in Christ desperately need our prayers.<\/p>\n
