Photo: DISTURBING NEWS: Convert From Islam to Christianity Beheaded on Egyptian TV Video footage of a convert from Islam to Christianity being murdered by Muslims has been shown on Egyptian TV. The graphic incident was aired on a program called Egypt Today. The footage shows a young man being held down by masked men with a knife to his throat. One man chants a number of Muslim prayers in Arabic, mostly condemning Christianity. The man holding the knife to the Christian convert’s throat begins to cut, slowly severing the head amid cries of “Allahu Akbar” (“god is great”). The Egypt Today presenter was visibly distressed by the scenes. Then, referring to Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and Salafis, who together held the majority of seats in the country’s parliament at that time, he asked, “How are such people supposed to govern Egypt?” The footage of this brutal beheading is the latest alarming indication of the violent threat to religious freedom in the post-Arab Spring order. Please pray about this very disturbing trend in Egypt. Pray that the courage of this martyred Christian, and his faith that would not waver unto death, would reach out and transform the hearts of those who saw him die for his convictions.
