Threats to humanity may not come in the form of bombs or guns, but in the form of pictures. With sufficient social media savvy, one can easily disseminate misinformation and hateful rhetoric to its intended audience with the speed of a mouse click. And while this is not an issue exclusive to religious minorities, it has become increasingly easier for them to be ostracized by hate groups that take advantage of social platforms like Facebook and Twitter. Such was the situation that arose in Egypt in 2013, when a photo began circulating on social media that pitted an unknown man with a beard against an army soldier with a blank face and desert garb. The picture seemed to be taken during the January 25th Egyptian Revolution, and soon after it began to run rampant, the unknown man was called by many as a “terrorist” and “Egyptian Army informant”. For Christians and Muslims alike, this picture was further proof that Egypt's Coptic population had infiltrated the military with their own belligerent agendas. Egypt's Christians have long been persecuted by radical groups such as ISIS, Al-Qaeda and others. This rhetoric soon found its way into the popular Egyptian media, with publications like El Badil publishing anti-Christian headlines, calling them “traitors” and demanding the death of anyone identified as a Copt or Christian. These articles fueled the fire already raging across social media. Just months later, the Church of St. Mary in Sinai was burned to ground along with its surrounding villages. Entire families, including women and children perished in one of the deadliest attacks since Egypt's revolution. Almost instantly, hundreds were arrested by Egyptian authorities on grounds that they were affiliated with ISIS or Al-Qaeda; many were Christians who had nothing to do with either group.
