AWR reader Henk Glimmerveen asked us on October 2019 to view the documentary titled “The Valley of Salt,” broadcasted on October 18 by the Evangelische Omroep (EO, Evangelical Broadcasting Company). The parents of the filmmaker, Christophe Magdy Saber [Christophe Majdī Ṣābir], both Coptic Evangelical pastors, established a Christian retreat and conference center in Wādī al-Naṭrūn (Valley of Salt) between Cairo and Alexandria in Egypt. They received death threats during the presidency of Mohammad Mursi [Muḥammad Mursī] (2012-2013). Was this because they were Christian and worked on a Christian mission project? Is this an example of persecution of Christians in Egypt as some believed? Or were these threats the outcome of a criminal trying to squeeze money out of this project? “This has little to do with persecution on the basis of faith,” Henk Glimmerveen found. “However, it does not make the fear the film evokes less real.”
