Egypt – AINA Report: “Abduction and Forced Islamization of Christian Coptic Girls Continues in Egypt”
— “Another recent victim of abduction is 15-year old Marian Bishay, who went out on July 15, 2009 to get dinner for her mother and young brothers from a local restaurant, 50 meters away from where she lives in Omrania, Giza, but failed to return home. The local police succumbed to pressure and issued a missing person report after initially refusing.”
— “some reports said she was raped and forced to convert to Islam, while others said that she was kept in Alexandria against her will.”
— “The systematic abduction and forced Islamization of Coptic minor girls in Egypt is a frequent, dangerous and a rapidly escalating phenomenon, The problem was brought to light by the Coptic Pope Shenouda III as far back as December 17th, 1976, when he protested during a conference held in Alexandria that ‘there is pressure being practiced to convert Coptic girls to embrace Islam and marry them under terror to Muslim husbands’ and demanded that the abducted girls be brought back to their families.”
