My brother-in-law lives in Gaza with his family and has lived there for many, many years.
I read the news about a Copt who was killed in El-'Arish yesterday, but I did not realize at the time that he was a relative!
Please DO NOT TELL ME ANYMORE THAT "ISLAM IS THE ANSWER."

Here is how his killing was reported:
Egypt: Coptic Christian priest shot dead
The shooting in the coastal city was one of several attacks believed to be by
Islamist insurgents that included firing at four military checkpoints in the
region, the sources said.
Saturday's attacks on checkpoints took place in al-Mahajer and al-Safaa in
Rafah, as well as Sheikh Zuwaid and al-Kharouba.
The violence follows attacks in which five police offers were killed in El
Arish on Friday.
Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood has fiercely criticised Coptic Pope Tawadros,
spiritual leader of Egypt's eight million Christians, for giving his blessing to
the removal of Mr Morsi and attending the announcement by armed forces commander
General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi suspending the constitution."

I am so sorry Tony. Allah Yirhamo and I hope those who killed him will get punished.
Horrendous news. My sincerest condolences, Tony.
Hasn't there been another Copt, also a priest, been killed and beheaded last week? Looks like systematic attacks right now.
Thank you Zarathustra and TGIA for your sincere condolences.
Yes, it appears to be a systematic campaign against Copts in Sinai by the Salafis. I am beginning to worry about the fate of Christians in Gaza, too.
