A young Christian mother leaving a Coptic Orthodox church in the southern outskirts of Cairo was killed by an ISIS terrorist, and then left to die in the streets.
She was shot trying to help the terrorist who shot her.
Unbelievable savagery — that’s the nature of these jihadists.

Read this story from Aid to the Church — the account from the woman’s daughter who saw the tragedy as it unfolded:
Gunmen attacked worshippers leaving a Coptic Orthodox church on the southern outskirts of Cairo on Dec. 29, 2017. Subsequently claimed by ISIS, the assault—which took place some 10 minutes after the conclusion of Mass at St. Mina Church—killed nine people. One of the victims was a young mother, Nermeen Sadiq. Her 13-year-old daughter Nesma Wael was at her side when she was shot. Nesma gave the following account of the ordeal to the pontifical foundation Aid to the Church in Need:
“After Mass ended, I left the church with my cousin and my mother. My mom wore a cross around her neck, and all three of us were not wearing veils. In poorer neighborhoods, Muslim women often wear veils so they are distinguished from Christian women.
“As we turned into a side street, we saw someone on a motorcycle heading toward the church. The next thing we knew, the man crashed his bike after hitting a pothole. My mother ran up to him to help, reassuring him, as she said: “In the name of the Jesus Christ, are you okay?” He got up quickly and in a blink of an eye he opened fire on us with an automatic weapon he pulled out from under his vest.
“As soon as my cousin and I saw the weapon, we hid behind mom, who shouted at us to run away; the terrorist first shot her in the arm, while she was trying to protect us; as we ran away, she fell down and could not escape with us. The distance between us and the terrorist when he first took out his machine gun was no more than a few feet. My cousin and I ran into a small supermarket, where the sales girl hid us behind the refrigerator; from our hiding spot, we watched the attacker looking for us. When he couldn’t find us he turned to mom again and fired more shots at her.
“All this happened in few minutes. After the gunman left, we ran to my mother. Many people had gathered, but they all refused to touch my mom, to turn her over, even though she was still alive. I kept screaming for someone to help me, but no one did. I reached my uncle, who came right away.
“An ambulance pulled up, but the emergency workers refused to move mama into the ambulance until they got permission from the security officials who were out in the streets, hunting for the terrorist, as well as another shooter who had attacked people in front of the church.
“A gun battle erupted, and people fled. My cousin, my uncle and I stayed with my mother. She looked at me, saying: “Do not be afraid, I’m with you. Obey your father and take care of your sister.”
“My mother remained laying in the street for about an hour. After the shooting stopped, I went back to the church to fetch my younger sister Karen, who is eight and had remained in church because the service for children had not finished yet—I saw three people I knew laying in pools of blood in front of the church; I knew they had been killed.
“By the time mom was taken into the ambulance she had died.
“Today, I do not walk the streets alone anymore. My father always goes with me anywhere. Despite the pain inside my heart—I miss my mother desperately—I am happy because she is a martyr and I don’t feel afraid of the terrorists anymore. I was with her at the time of the attack and did not even get injured: it was God’s will to specifically choose her to go to heaven.“I do not want to leave my country, but I certainly want to find a better chance to live and study, especially since our financial situation isn’t good. My dad, who is 35, works as a driver, but he has no regular work; my mother provided the main source of income for our family; she was a nurse at the Cairo Kidney Center. I hope to become a doctor of nephrology; that was my mom’s dream for me.
“This is my message to all the persecuted people around the world: ‘Do not be afraid! Our lives are in God’s hands God and we have to adhere to our faith.’”

I was taught that if we pray for God’s return, He will come sooner.
Somewhere in the Bible, if I recall correctly, there is mention of martyrs waiting behind the altar, waiting for God’s vengeance.

“When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed” (Revelation 6:9-11 NKJV).

Now I am set to weeping the day through. I would ask the former American President why he allowed in 10,000 refugees per month on top of the quota from the UN, and why each month only three or four were Christians. I pray that someday he would respond to these questions since many have wondered.
These poor children. The mother, brave and young, was brutally martyred for her faith.
God, do you not see this? Better that the world would end, than for this to take hold, to bring hopelessness, despair, savagery, and eternal darkness upon innocent people.
I find this matter so discouraging that it breaks one’s heart. What does the world have to say about this?

The number of Christians in the camps was near zero. Obama didn’t deny any who were there. Christians avoided the camps because of intimidation by Muslims there, instead choosing to try for Russian citizenship or being smuggled to Cyprus.

To me Tm, the writing is on the wall, that ” Day ” is approaching fast. God’s hand has pulled back from the West ( 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 ) and evil is filling those lands. Endtime prophecies ( Rev. 12, Ezekiel 38,39 ) are being fulfilled before our eyes. Jerusalem, as the scriptures have foretold, is front and center again with the whole capital issue, and the violence against Israel this will generate, may lead to the most observable prophetic fulfillment yet – the Temple rebuild and the reinstitution of the daily sacrifice, which figures prominently in the last days according to scripture. Jesus warned us against trying to guess the timing of all this but did say to be watchful of events and to know that when these things begin to happen, that Day is close at hand.
A part of me wants to fight what’s going on because the nature of it is so evil, but another part of me is thinking that God’s cup of indignation is full, and this may well be the beginning of God’s final judgement, and if so, that juggernaut is in motion and can’t be stopped by mans hand. What I have written above, along with the bafflingly quick spread of islam ( an evil ideology ) through Europe and even the election of the ” under dog ” Trump ( whom God has used and is using to accomplish things that would not have happened with anyone else ) suggest a divine intervention ( don’t forget, God used David mightily even though he had done some awful things in his past, and it was God who allowed the Hebrews to suffer captivity as a corrective means ).
As Christians, we know what the end of all this is for us, but for those not in the ” Ark “, it will be terrible once again. A darkness is engulfing the world from many sides, islam is but one part of it, but when that ” one ” comes, the darkness will turn to terror. Anyone reading this, please read the New Testament, particularly the Book of John, and ask – challenge God to reveal Himself. He said He would find all those looking for Him.

Agree. And the first Muslim democrat president imported 100,000 legal and illegal muslims and
deported christians back to ISIS to be slaughtered after they tried to male it to America http://tinyurl.com/mtc3xch
And those who dared to help were threatened to shut up and MSM would not cover it !
Trump is doing his best and everyone must support him.

How strange the muslum ambulance crew couldn’t help the dying Christian woman until they got the OK from the all muslum security apparatchiks, it’s almost as if they wanted her to die.

And this is a perfect example of the workings of the religion of peace!
These are exactly the kind of people that our countries need to give Refuge too. Not the worthless workshy leaf chewing rapist Somali scum.
If I was rich I’d dedicate part of my fortune to helping these people. And the other half waging war on the muzrats that would slaughter them.
God bless these young girls.

The Moslem is a dangerous man. After being ucked in the anus as a boy by his “elders”, he is then taught in puberty how awfool women are and the only thing he gets too see after and allowed to touch is the ass of a donkey and all his short life they blame all of this on infidels.
By the time he is an adult he is an absolute sexual demonic rage and made into the WILD MAN!! A killer beast. Pray he never comes into your land and multiplies.
But that is exactly what your ‘elite has done. We have enough wild pigs, wolves and bears to hunt.
