Christianity Today, a major US publication, published a highly distorted article on Christians in Egypt, making claims that are simply false or cannot be substantiated. Christianity Today based itself on material obtained from Operation World and other sources. Operation World admits they must have made a mistake. The article in Christianity Today is an example of the use of available ‘sources´ in the West without checking this with people in the field, resulting often in unintended distortions but distortions nevertheless.
