Muslims Burn Christian Family’s Businesses & Kick Them Out of Egyptian Town Over Sex Tape Scandal

CAIRO (The Blaze/AP) — Nabil Gergis, a Coptic Christian, lived for nearly two decades in the Egyptian town of Amriya, raising his children and managing a modest business. Those ties couldn’t protect him after a sex video purportedly showing his brother with a Muslim woman began to circulate.

Angry residents in the conservative, Muslim-majority town held protests and set fire to the Gergis family businesses. None of the attackers was prosecuted. Instead, a committee of tribal elders, local lawmakers and security officials ordered the 11 members of the Gergis family — the brother, Nabil and others — to leave town.

The story of Amriya demonstrates one of the reasons Egypt’s Coptic Christian minority and even some in the Muslim majority feel the situation is precarious, particularly since the ouster of former President Hosni Mubarak a year ago. The rule of law, they and human rights groups say, is being eclipsed by such “reconciliation councils,” trying to fill the security vacuum left by Mubarak’s fall.

“There is no law that would have found me responsible for anything, and under the law I would have never been kicked out of my home,” said Nabil Gergis. He said he, his wife and their two children do not know who to turn to protect their rights and that he feels the government has turned its back on them.

Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak

Egypt’s Copts are mourning Pope Shenouda II, who led the Church for 40 years and died on Saturday. “Baba Shenouda,” as he was called, was seen by many in the community as their biggest protector in a country where Christians make up about 10 percent of a population of 85 million.

Shenouda’s approach was deeply conservative. He was a close ally of Mubarak during the former president’s 29-year rule and used his influence behind the scenes to try to ensure some protections for Christians. But he largely resisted any public protests or pressure. His critics among the Coptic community say that left Christians’ rights dependent on personal relations rather than enforced by law.

Reconciliation meetings were not unusual under Mubarak’s regime. Muslim-Christian violence broke out occasionally in towns of the south, sometimes in local disputes that turned sectarian. Rather than prosecuting those responsible, local leaders and security officials would often insist on negotiated solutions to keep the peace – or, critics say, because they were reluctant to confront Muslims involved in the incidents.

The Amriya case was unique because the punishment was so extensive. The town is comprised of scattered villages with some 500,000 residents, about 15 percent of them are Christian.

The incident erupted in late January, when the explicit video allegedly showing Nabil Gergis‘ brother with a Muslim woman circulated on residents’ cell phones. The brother, who is married, has denied any affair.

Any sex outside of marriage is a lightning rod for controversy in the Muslim world, where a woman’s chastity is vociferously protected by her family. That a Christian man might have an affair with a Muslim woman only further fanned the flames.

The rumors sparked widespread protests by Amriya residents, who are mostly tribal and deeply traditional. Angry residents set fire to three stores owned by the Gergis’ family, which were under their homes. Some Muslim residents tried to help, but were outnumbered by the ultraconservative rioters.

Police showed up hours later and instead of investigating the attack called in the brother for questioning, Gergis said.

With tempers still high, local officials and tribal leaders held a series of meetings and decided to order the expulsion of the entire Gergis family. A Muslim family who had fired shots in the air during the protest to protect their property were initially told they must leave too, but were later allowed to return.

Amriya police argued that they could not guarantee the Gergis family’s safety in the face of angry protesters, according to security officials and the Gergis family. Last week, with the family gone, their homes were robbed of cash and other belongings they had to leave behind, Gergis said.

An Egyptian rights group that looked into the case, the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, criticized the expulsion, saying the victims were forced to accept “the outcomes of illegal reconciliation processes” and to abandon their rights.

Ishak Ibrahim, a researcher with the group, warns that the breakdown of security since Mubarak’s fall could lead to an even greater dependence on such “reconciliation meetings.”

“When the state’s authority is eroded, then the community turns to its own leaders to solve the crisis,” he said. “The problem is that the outcomes are not consistent. It also means that Christians or the side that is weaker will be at a disadvantage, and so this affects all Egyptians.”

The unreliability of the law has hurt Christians in other ways. One sore point is the construction of churches, which requires permissions from security officials and was rarely granted. In response, Christians often built churches secretly, and in several instances in recent years Muslim mobs attacked the construction. Again, perpetrators of such attacks were almost never prosecuted.

Since Mubarak’s fall, there has been talk of a law putting construction of mosques and churches under equal rules, but no law has been passed.

In October, The Blaze posted video that appeared to show Coptic Christians being run over by Egyptian military vehicles (caution: graphic):

A series of attacks, as The Blaze previous highlighted, over the last year has also stoked Christian fears. A year ago, a Muslim-Christian love affair led a Muslim mob to torch a church in the village of Soul, 18 miles (30 kilometers) south of Cairo. Christians protesting the burning were attacked by a mob; 13 people died and 140 injured.

In May, ultraconservative followers of the Salafi trend of Islam burnt a church in the Cairo working-class district of Imbaba and clashed with Christians, leaving 12 people dead. Many of the rioters believed that a Christian woman who fell in love with a Muslim man had converted to Islam and was being held prisoner by the church.

In October, a Cairo protest led by Copts demanding greater rights was crushed by soldiers, leaving 27 people, mostly Copts, dead.

The Gergis family is now living with relatives in Alexandria. Nabil Gergis said neither the police nor government officials have responded to his pleas for help.

“The only thing that this means is that police don’t want us in the country,” he said. “It’s a feeling that I cannot describe. My children don’t have a home anymore.”

This is wrong and ultimately proves how the muslim faith works. Anyone who has studied the Muslim faith in depth and reads the Koran knows how it really works, and they would also know the conflicts in those countries between the sunnis and shiites and Christians and that Islam is an unforgiving religion created by a man who was pretty much a pedifile.

      I spent fifteen months running a counter insurgency team back in 07 and 08. We advised the Iraqi National Police in Salman Pak and the Karadah Penninsulah.

      the insurgent groups were run by the muslim leaders. They had all manner of rules (especially the Suni AQI) for the common man. They would even cut off fingers to those who smoked.

      Interesting little note though. everytime we would capture one of the leaders, they always had cigarretes, whiskey, and their computers were always loaded with porn.

      I was also in Afghanistan during the surge in Marja. Another place ruled by the mulsim religious leaders. It was generally the leaders that kidnapped little boys, and raped them over and over.

      This is not just a muslim vs. christian thing. This is what happens ANYWHERE that you have democracy (mob rule). The left is always saying how we are a democracy, be we aren’t. A democracy has no respect for human rights and whoever is in the majority at the moment wins. There are no rules or morals in a democratic society. A republic on the other hand recognizes human rights and is supposed to ensure that these rights cannot be taken away even in the case that a simple majority wants them to. This is why our nation is failing right now. It has ceased to be a true Constitutionally limited republic and has started to be an oligarchy ruled by a little over 400 men who the majority of which do not recognize the Constitution as their guide and ultimate law.

      Do the leaders have generic tapes or do they star in their tapes? If they star in their tapes I would keep embarrassing the HeII out of them until the locals turn the back on them, inform on them & actively hunt them.

      What you say is true. Usama had sex tapes. Somehow storming a leaders hideout & letting the locals & the world see the evidence 1st hand could could be good propaganda.

      Scholars have been pointing out the destruction of the Copts for a very long time. And for a very long time, Western peoples have stood by and done nothing.

      Egypt is not historically an Islamic nation. Their heritage as a Christian nation has been erased and replaced…with Islam and Sharia.

After the Romans fell apart there were a few year of various other Mongol type “religions” a.i. carnage and not a lot of any kind of civilization. Gee you know in the first few centuries after Jesus
      Christians did not show up for some time so history in this case may be a bit short lived . I do not disagree with your assessment of the last Islamic movement in Egypt, it has been coming and has moved from a tribal fight with camels to a fight with tanks and guns as usual them with the biggest club will sadly enough win because the West has been riddled with rot as you can see in every western government today. Glenn was and is still ahead of the curve for at least he is trying to educate people compared to the rest of the media that want you just to follow the flow and bury your head in dancing with the stars.

      I think the Copts came to power at the end of the Hellenistic age and claimed links to Egypt’s pharaonic past. If any people have a claim to Egypt it, is the Coptic Christians.

      In any event, Egypt is not historically an Islamic nation. It was once the center of Western Civilization.

      @ Mike, sorry I had to take nap (west coast) I am not sure at what time the Copts started their form of religion but not even sure it was in Egypt as far as I remember they had a very large following in what is now Central Turkey before going into North Africa and other areas. But as far as I can tell the Hellenistic Era was over before the Romans and they could not have become Christian until after the Roman Empire went into decline post 0 AD. (like the conversation thanks)

      Terrible. Think of all the poor, poor LGBT types like JZS & encinom. They will be relegated to the shadows & persecuted there too.

      LGBT voted for Obama & they got Arab spring. Then they will get Eurabia. Finally it will come here.

      Let them nay say that scenario. I know of gays who have left Amsterdam because of Muslim intolerance.

      JZS

      Bruce Bawer, a gay man, left Amsterdam because it was becoming intolerant to gays, because of Muslim immigration..

      Is Bawer paranoid or is he right?

      I don’t expect you to answer, because you can’t honestly answer.
