Many Muslims say they’re sick of violence, it was reported in August.
Cairo theology professor, Dr Anne Zaki, said: ‘Disillusionment with Islam is the number one reason Muslims are asking questions of the Christian faith.’ Mario Basselios, an Egyptian church worker, agreed: ‘They say if God is commanding us to kill, then something is wrong with what we are learning. Many who’ve had closed minds for years are now coming to church and asking to meet Jesus. The ministry is wide open. What is God doing? He’s shaking the beliefs of many people. Atheists are seeing the truth, meeting God in visions, following Jesus and going through persecution.’
However, that is in Cairo, the capital. For many Christians in the south, threats from extremism are a daily reality.
