Egypt’s Coptic Church praises local Muslims for supporting Christians in Sinai

Father Rafic Greiche, spokesman for Egypt’s Catholic Church, praised local Muslims for helping embattled Christians in Sinai following attacks by Daesh, Catholic publication Crux reports. “Ordinary Muslims are kind and try to help however they can - they’re often first on the scene, rescuing the injured and taking them to hospitals,” Greiche told Catholic News Service. “You can never do enough against jihadist and terrorist attacks, which come, like any criminal acts, at a time no one can foresee … But while no country can be fully secure, I think there’s will on government side to act decisively against these constant attempts to destabilize Egypt.”
