Raymond Ibrahim & Coptic Solidarity Muslim Brotherhood affiliates just launched an attack on yet another Coptic Christian church, the Church of the Angel Raphael on 20th Street in the area of Faisal, Egypt.

Today, Sunday, January 25, supporters of the banned terrorist organization opened fire, including with bullets, on the church. Because this incident transpired only hours ago, reports are still sketchy on whether there were any injuries or building damage. However, according to Youm7, security forces dispersed the attack.
