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.”

Philippines: “Constant Terror” of Extremist Violence against Christians in Zamboanga

— LA Times: “Philippine city lives in constant terror”
— LA Times reports: “Zamboanga City is on the front lines of the Philippines’ fight against terrorists, located in the troubled south where Muslim militants have been battling troops and hitting civilian targets.”
— “Restaurant owner Lyra Quitay is blind in one eye. Her arms, chest and legs bear painful black scars and her right hand is so gnarled that it resembles a claw when she signs her name.”
— “In October 2001, a terrorist’s bomb ripped through the claustrophobic downtown market where Quitay runs a tiny kitchen, instantly killing her security guard and blowing a hole in her life.”
— “The guard had gone to investigate an abandoned duck egg cart; when he opened the lid on a pot, it exploded — ripping off his head and leaving Quitay with injuries so severe that she still wakes up crying at night.”
— “‘Every time I even hear the word ‘bomb’ I get nervous,’ said Quitay, 43. ‘It’s the trauma of living in Zamboanga City.'”
— “On the front lines of the Philippines’ campaign against terrorism, this bustling port city on the island of Mindanao has become an armed camp, a community under siege.”
— “At the heart of the violence is a network of Islamic terrorist groups waging war against the government of the predominantly Christian Philippine archipelago, using the jungle as cover to train recruits and organize strikes at will.”

Pakistan: Human Rights leaders expect more attacks on Christians

More attacks on Christians feared
UCAN reports:
— “Peace activists predict that extremists may target more Christian communities unless the government changes its policies and laws.”
— “‘I am afraid to say it, but we may expect more attacks in areas where Christians are a sizeable number,’ said Father Emmanuel Yousaf Mani, national director of the Catholic Bishop’s National Commission for Justice and Peace (NCJP).”
— “According to advocate Mehboob Ahmed Khan of the HRCP, extremism is one of the major challenges facing the Muslim-dominated country. ‘More Christian settlements will be attacked, more blood will be spilled in coming months. The perpetrators will use the same old blasphemy laws as an excuse,’ he told the seminar participants.”
— “A press statement was also issued at the event in which the NCJP demanded the abolition of laws that provoke hatred, the amendment of discriminatory articles in the constitution, and the arrest of those who kill in the name of religion, among other matters.”
