Even Associated Press, which isnt considered a pro-Christian news outlet, reported on the extent of the assaults.
In the four days since security forces cleared two sit-in camps by supporters of Egypts ousted president, Islamists have attacked dozens of Coptic churches along with homes and businesses owned by the Christian minority, reported AP. Nearly 40 churches have been looted and torched, while 23 others have been attacked and heavily damaged since Wednesday [August 14].
A more detailed report lists 56 churches attacked in a 24-hour span that started on August 14. Fifteen more were hit over the next two days. Dozens of Coptic institutions like schools, monasteries, bookstores and even an orphanage were also attacked.
The Bible Society in Egypt has been operating for 129 years, and this is the first time its been the victim of assaults like those carried out on two of its bookstores. Both were burned to the ground.
