Egypt: Christians terrorised
Three months after the Egyptian army liberated Delga from militant Muslims, Islamists and criminals are terrorising Christians in other towns across Egypt, it was reported in mid-November.
Islamists in the towns are again charging the Jizya — a Koranic fine also known as the ‘submission’ or ‘humiliation’ tax — on non-Muslims, after a lull following the retaking of Delga, 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.
