Egyptian Presidential Candidate Accused Of Harassing Christians

Rev 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

Egyptian presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq has told the BBC that his opponent, Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Mursi, has been harassing Christians in an attempt to keep them from voting in the country’s upcoming election.

Shafiq also said that the Muslim Brotherhood aims to make Egypt a “sectarian” state despite their public posturing that they would not be seeking to impose Sharia Law on the nation.

In a televised news conference, Shafiq said that the Muslim Brotherhood has been trying to blackmail Christians in an attempt to prevent them from exercising their right to vote.

He said the Muslim Brotherhood was beginning a campaign of “terrifying” Christian voters who had voted for Shafiq in the first round. The party and their candidate has been calling it an “extension” of the country’s revolution.
