After Retaking of Delga, Christians Terrorized in Other Towns in Egypt
By Dan Wooding, Founder of ASSIST Ministries
CAIRO, EGYPT (ANS) -- Three months after the Egyptian Army liberated Delga from militant Muslims, Islamists and criminals are terrorizing Christians in other towns across Egypt, human rights activists said.
According to the Middle East Correspondent of Morning Star News (http://morningstarnews.org), Islamists in the towns are again charging Jizya, a Koranic fine on non-Muslims also known as the “submission” or “humiliation” tax, after a lull following the retaking of Delga on Sept. 16, said human rights activists within the country. In several towns across Egypt, Muslim extremists and criminals have set up a cottage industry persecuting Christians for profit, the activists said.
