On April 24, CBN News Senior International Reporter Gary Lane interviewed me about Egypt. Lane's write-up, "Will Egypt's el-Sisi Protect Christians?" as well as the three part interview, follow:

With only one month to go before Egyptians elect a new president, it looks like former Army Chief General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi will be the likely winner. The interim government says international observers will monitor the polling to assure the integrity of the electoral process. But who will give assurances that violent acts against Christians will be minimized in the months ahead? Not el-Sisi, CBN News contributior Raymond Ibrahim said. Not the Egyptain military, police, or any other political candidate who may become president. Ibrahim says that's because a mob mentality dominates Egypt. This is most apparent on Fridays, after prayers in the mosque. That's when radical imams preaching an extremist intepretation of the Koran incite their followers to attack the "infidels." Watch my interview with Raymond Ibrahim, presented here in three parts.

Due to the overwhelming volume of shocking violent incidents reportedly perpetrated by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, it unfortunately takes a truly atrocious act to warrant headlines among mainstream media outlets of note. Even then, however, most sources prefer to ignore or whitewash the most disturbing aspect of such reports.

According to an recent article by Raymond Ibrahim, the vile retaliation against a six-year-old boy believed to be a supporter of anti-Brotherhood revolutionary Abdel Fattah el-Sisi shows the extent to which these extremists will go to further their cause.

Ibrahim writes that the Egyptian boy was allegedly heard singing el-Sisi’s praises by Muslim Brotherhood member Ahmed Abu Sa’id. At that point, according to interviews with the victimized child and his parents, Sa’id invited him into a nearby shed and began raping him.

“You’re always holding pictures of this Sisi and singing his praises,” the Brotherhood member reportedly said. “Come, I’ll humiliate and break you – and your Sisi.”

As the violent attack transpired, the boy’s mother said she could hear her son screaming for help.

“I heard him crying and left my work and ran up to meet him,” she recalled. “He was holding his pants up. I thought some kids had beaten him.”

The atrocious behavior did not stop there, she insisted. Upon attempting to confront Sa’id about the incident, she said he and a number of other assailants beat her I the head with iron rods.

As the interview progressed, reports indicate more of the history between Sa’id and the boy’s family became apparent. According to the victim’s mother, Sa’id’s wife offered her a substantial sum of money to become a Muslim Brotherhood ally in Rabia.

When she refused, the stalemate between the two families reportedly became more hostile. Ultimately, her young child bore the wrath of an emboldened extremist, she indicated.

While this account, if valid, is an extreme example, there is little question that Muslim Brotherhood members in Egypt embrace violence and intimidation in an effort to maintain power.
