EGYPT: Islamists seize a Protestant church and turn it into a mosque. “Menassa Nesseim, the Pastor of the local Protestant community, tells Mcn-direct (an Egyptian Christian Press Agency) that ‘since August 14 , the day of the Islamist assault against Christians, no one has been able to enter the building .’ He denounces the inaction of the authorities who have accepted the fact with indifference: ‘Neither the police nor the armed forces have raided the church, to eject the squatters and return the building to the Protestant community’. Nesseim reports that the militants have placed their men to guard the complex. Christians are afraid to approach their church.”
