Kids Killed For Christ

Christian Youth Killed For Wearing Cross In Class

By Marshall Ramsey II, Worthy News Correspondent

MALLAWI, EGYPT (Worthy News)– In October of this year, Egyptian news media published stories of an altercation between Muslim and Christian students over a classroom seat at a school in Mallawi, Minya province, which left one student dead. It was being reported as a non-sectarian, that is, non-religiously motivated, incident. However, Copts Without Borders, a Coptic Christian news website, denied the claim, saying, in fact, that the student was killed because he was wearing a crucifix.

Mark Ebeid, a Christian activist, said "We wanted to believe the official version because the Coptic version was a catastrophe, as it would take persecution of Christians also to schools." He blamed the church in Mallawi for keeping quiet about the incident.
