  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Sarah Atef, another Coptic Christian girl that was kidnapped and they claim that she converted to Islam. They keep on doing this ugly strategy, they focus on the young Coptic women and they try to force them into Islam and the police endorses their actions and the government is silent and does nothing because they want it.

Pray for the kidnappings to stop and for our sisters and brothers in Egypt to remain protected because I don't want to pray anymore, I'm sick of this!

Ugh. Always, always happens...and it won't stop unless the society changes its laws to really make this into a crime, which of course it is. But that's obviously not going to happen, even as the kidnappers themselves admit that they do it for money, which they sometimes share with the police to get them to help with the kidnapping.

Lord have mercy! Praying for the return of Sarah to her faith and her family, and for serious change in Egyptian society. The interviewed ex-kidnapper left Islam, so we can still hope that more will as the details of these disgusting and dehumanizing crimes become known to the non-Salafi Muslims.
