Egypt (MNN) — Muslim Brotherhood radicals are being blamed for the horrific murder of a 25-year-old Christian woman in Egypt. According to reports, Mary Sameh George was in a suburb of Cairo delivering medicine to an elderly woman near a church when the attack took place.
Todd Nettleton with Voice of the Martyrs tells Mission Network News that she “literally was dragged out of her car by a mob of radical Muslims. They had just left the Mosque after Friday prayers in a suburb of Cairo. Their prayer service had been generating some anger.”
One report indicated the woman had a cross in her possession. “The mob started banging on her car. [They] eventually climbed up on top of the car. The roof began to collapse. Then they dragged her out and beat her and stabbed her until she was dead.”
The message this attack is sending to the world is obvious, says Nettleton. “Radical factions of Islam are still very strong in Egypt and are still vying to have control or to have influence in the country.”
The Muslim Brotherhood was outlawed in Egypt before the revolution. With elections approaching, Nettleton says, “This is really going to be a challenge for whoever the new leader is to get the Muslim Brotherhood under control and to really provide law and order and to provide protection for Egypt minorities including our Christian brothers and sisters.”
While you may not be able to do anything about this case which is getting limited attention in Egypt, you can make a difference through prayer and supporting the work of VOM. “Voice of the Martyrs is involved in distributing Bibles there and supporting the church there. We also have been involved through VOM medical in providing medical care for Christians who are attacked, like this one.”
Some Muslims refuse to treat Christians who are injured. This VOM safety net gets Christians the treatment they need to survive and recover.

How terrifying for this young woman. i am in shock. How could they have so brutally murdered an innocent bystander, who had done nothing to provoke the mob? It is telling that the mob had just come from ‘prayers.’ Were the prayers against all Christians and was their leader telling them to wipe Christians off the map? It shows you the twisted view of life that they would beat and stab a young woman to death! Her parents must be heart broken. I pray the Lord comfort their hearts, for this sister in the Lord is now with Jesus. Lord have mercy!
My prayers for her family and friends.
and yes, even prayers for her murderers.
Level the mosque they just came from. It is obvious that place is a haven for the Muslim Brotherhood mob. We should not stand by and watch as these thugs do as they wish against Christians while cowardly hiding behind their “religion”. We have been too tolerant for much too long. Time to start eradicating them, much like we eradicate the rats…Not much of a difference between the 2 as it is.
These are the very people president obama supports! America better wake up! For this young woman…Revelation 6:11
Yes, Sharon, I do agree with the Jesus commandment you mention, & practice it, too….”but I say to you, pray for those who spitefully use (mistreat) you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you”….
AbbaFather, in Jesus’ beautiful name, make us be like Jesus’ brother James who as he was being martyred prayed for his murderers and to be like Stephen who also did the same, mighty in You. Cause us dear heavenly Daddy, to remember the prophets of old – who endured. Make us to endure, being infused with YOU, Jesus…self-sufficient in Your sufficiency, sweet Savior, Who cleanses us. In Your Holy Name. Thank you, so be it.
Don’t they love to spill blood. Don’t they love to slaughter their animals and make them scream with their slit throats turned to Mecca. Our governments must exact a moratorium on ALL forms of muslim/islamic immigration to our respective countries. We don’t need this. These people kill their own and call it “honour killing”, brute beasts, animals. Ladies and Gentlemen, write your representatives and senators. Enough already.
