Who is ultimately responsible for the ongoing attacks on Christians and their churches throughout the Islamic world?
Focusing on one of the most obvious nations where Christians are
regularly targeted—Egypt’s Coptic Christians—one finds that the “mob” is
the most visible and obvious culprit. One Copt accused of some
transgression against Muslim sensibilities—from having relations with a Muslim woman, to ruining a Muslim man’s shirt—is often enough to prompt Muslim mobs to destroy entire Christian villages and their churches.
Days ago, for example, after her cross identified Mary Saleh George as a Christian, a pro-Muslim Brotherhood mob attacked, beat, tortured, and slaughtered her.
However, a recent Arabic op-ed titled “Find the True Killer of Mary” attempts to look beyond the mob to identify the true persecutor of Christians in Egypt. According to the op-ed:

Those who killed the young and vulnerable Mary Saleh George, for
hanging a cross in her car, are not criminals, but rather wretches who
follow those who legalized for them murder, lynching, dismemberment, and
the stripping bare of young Christian girls—without every saying
“kill.” [Islamic cleric] Yassir Burhami and his colleagues who announce
their hate for Christians throughout satellite channels and in
mosques—claiming that hatred of Christians is synonymous with love for
God—they are the true killers who need to be tried and prosecuted… The
slayers of Mary Saleh are simply a wretched mob, with the body of a bull
but the brain of a worm. It’s not the puppets on the string who need
punishing, but rather the mastermind who moves the puppets with his
bloody fingers behind closed curtains that needs punishing.
