Former Obama official says Ayoub and other Egyptian Christians deserve the persecution they are suffering from ISIS.
Mohamed Elibiary was a former Homeland Security Advisory Council member under the Obama administration.
In a tweet over the weekend, Elibiary said that because many Egyptian Coptic Christians supported the removal of the Muslim Brotherhood’s leader in 2013, they should view their plight as retribution for their actions.
“What goes around comes around,” Elibiary tweeted on May 7th. “Coptic ldrs did same to MB Egyptians.”
According to the Daily Caller, Elibiary even praised ISIS for killing Christians, tweeting “Subhanallah” which is the Arabic word for “Glory to Allah.”
Elibiary told his Twitter followers that he was “reading ISIS’s latest” magazine published in May.
Among the magazine’s features was an article called “The Ruling on the Belligerent Christians,” which praises the recent ISIS attacks against Coptic Christians in Egypt.
“From among these blessed deeds were the successive attacks which the soldiers of the Islamic State in Misri and Sinai carried out against the Christians in those lands, targeting them with killings and assassinations, and afflicting their churches with burning and explosions,” the Daily Caller highlighted. “Thus, they brought upon them tremendous detriment and deepened their wounds. The last of the blessed attacks against them were the simultaneous explosions at two of their largest churches, one in northern Misri and the other in southern Misri, in the cities of Alexandria and Tanta on their holiday on the 12th of the month of Rajab in the year 1438.”
