\nEgypt’s Salafi Party Objects to Banning Sex Slavery<\/a><\/p>\n

Considering that the abduction, enslavement, rape, and trafficking of Coptic Christian girls, especially minors, in Egypt is at an all time high \u2014 according to US lawyers,\u00a0550 such cases have been documented<\/a>\u00a0in the last five years \u2014 Egypt’s Constituent Assembly to the Constitution met yesterday to consider the inclusion of a new article, #33, in the section dealing with \u201cRights and Freedoms,\u201d that would expressly criminalize “forced labor, slavery, the trafficking of women and children, human organs, and the sex trade.”<\/p>\n

Yet some members on the assembly are grumbling. According to\u00a0Masrawy<\/a>, Muhammad Saad Gawish, a member of the Constituent Assembly, wondered: “How can an article [#33] mention human trafficking when this is not happening in Egypt?” Likewise, Yunis Makhiyun, another Constituent Assembly member complained that “this article will give [Egypt’s] citizens the impression that things like slavery, trafficking in females and children, are happening in Egyptian society, when such things do not exist.”<\/p>\n

Rather tellingly, both of these men are also members of Egypt’s Salafi Nour Party, which closely patterns itself after the example of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his companions \u2014 who owned and sold infidel slaves, andadvocated deceiving the enemy<\/a>. Moreover, it is those called “Salafis” who are most associated with the abduction, enslavement, and selling of Christian women and children in Egypt.<\/p>\n

This should be no surprise considering that Egyptian Salafi preacher Huwainiurges Muslims to abduct, enslave, and sell infidels<\/a>\u00a0as a Sharia-approved way of making a good living.<\/p>\n

Yet here are the Salafis \u2014 out of Egypt’s prisons and sitting in Egypt’s parliament \u2014 complaining about the outlawing of human slavery and trafficking, and insisting (with a straight face) that “such things do not exist.”<\/p>\n

Murder of Copts Begins After Call to Genocide<\/a><\/p>\n

Hours after leaflets from Egypt’s jihadi organizations were distributed promising to\u00a0“reward” any Muslim who kills any Christian Copt in Egypt<\/a>, specifically naming several regions including Asyut, a report recently appeared concerning the random killing of a Christian store-owner.<\/p>\n

According to reporter\u00a0Menna Magdi<\/a>, writing in a report published August 14 and titled “The serial killing of Copts has begun in Asyut,” unidentified men stormed a shoe-store, murdering the Christian owner, Refaat Eskander early in the morning. The son of the slain Copt said the murderers took advantage of the fact that his father was alone in the store at the time, adding that his father had no known quarrels with anyone. Only one witness saw one of the assassins as they fled the scene, who was dressed in Salafi attire.<\/p>\n

Also,\u00a0Coptic Solidarity<\/a>\u00a0reports that the “Christian Copts in Upper Egypt are under attack, hours after a call for their eradication appeared in the form of leaflets calling on Muslims to kill Copts, specifically naming regions of Upper Egypt.” The report tells of how Christians are being beaten, their businesses set on fire, and their properties plundered, even as their attackers declare that “any Christian who dares to leave his house will be killed.” As usual, police appear only after all the damage has been done and the terrorists have fled with their booty.<\/p>\n
