Middle East Madness > Palestinian Terrorists living it up in Cairo

Freed Terrorists Now Living in 5-Star Hotel in Cairo

At least 154 of the murderers freed by Israel in the lopsided hostage-for-prisoners exchange are now living in a luxury hotel in Cairo. That says a great deal about the Egyptian government’s attitude toward those who murdered Jews. More on how these arch-terrorists are faring at their five-star hotel on the banks of the Nile can be found here: 

Palestinian terrorists released to luxury Cairo hotel alongside tourists – Daily Mail

Jerusalem Post, October 25, 2025:

More than 150 terrorists released as part of the recent hostage-for-prisoner exchange in US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan have been enjoying the high life in luxury five-star hotels in Egypt alongside unsuspecting tourists, according to a Daily Mail investigation published on Saturday.

Pictured alongside Western tourists, the Mail tracked down the 154 terrorists released to Egypt at the Marriott’s five-star Renaissance Cairo Mirage City Hotel in Cairo.

Why did the government of Egypt not place the freed murderers in army barracks, away from the city, instead of in a five-star hotel in the middle of Cairo where their many Egyptian admirers can visit them and foreign journalists can interview them? In putting them in such luxurious surroundings, the Egyptian government is giving what many will interpret as an outward and visible sign of its approval of these men who should be shunned.

Journalists from the Mail were able to book rooms at the hotel without any warning of the ISIS and Hamas occupants inhabiting the space, the newspaper reported while sharing photos of the terrorists alongside Western tourists in swimwear. The Mail reported that many glared toward Western women enjoying their vacation in their bikinis.

Those Western tourists in the same hotel as the freed prisoners are no doubt wondering if they should move out, instead of living cheek-by-jowl with terrorist murderers who despise them as Infidels. And with all those men who have not been with a woman in many years, looking on — “glaring” — at female tourists at the hotel pool, the possibility of sexual assault of these non-Muslim women, whose “come-hither” dress — those bikinis! — assumed by Muslim men to make them “easy meat,” is worrisome.

The hotel, which starts at approximately NIS 800 [$250] a night, has a number of amenities including a spa, fitness centre, restaurants, outdoor pool and a hair salon….

Nothing but the best, apparently, for mass murderers of Jews. The Egyptian government has now semaphored its support for those it should be shunning, but instead are allowed to live in the lap of luxury.

No restrictions were placed on the movement of the freed terrorists. They can travel in Cairo and elsewhere in Egypt, even visit Europe to address pro-Hamas protesters, and to solicit donations for Hamas to continue its sacred mission of destroying Israel.

The terrorists were often seen withdrawing large quantities of cash, which is thought to have been delivered to the released prisoners as part of the Palestinian Authority’s pay-for-slay policy, which rewards terrorists with up to $33,000 a year. Some, according to Palestinian Media Watch, had saved the sums until their bank balance reached six figures.

Not only are these 154 freed terrorists now living in luxury, but they have received from the Palestinian Authority the large sums due to them under the “Pay-For-Slay” program. Some of them, having been in prison for decades, have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the P.A.

The Trump administration should at once raise holy hell with the Egyptian government, demanding that the 154 freed prisoners be taken from their luxury hotel and instead placed in bleak barracks out in the desert, where they can no longer communicate with Hamas in Gaza, or meet admirers in Cairo, or give interviews to the international media. Let them remain there, held incommunicado, until such time as their transport to Turkey or Qatar can be arranged. And if the Egyptian government refuses to move them out of the Marriott, Trump need only threaten to cut the large amount of aid we still give to Cairo. That will concentrate the mind of General El-Sisi.

Considering these men have been without women for some months or years, one wonders if the government or Hezbolleh, or the PLO has hired a horde of prostitutes to keep them from raping every women and girl they see on the streets.

Coptic Cave Church Really Knows How to Rock (Video)

A CAVE turned into a Church to Worship Jesus in Egypt

70,000+ gather every week to worship

The cave church in Egypt is one of the largest churches in the country, a place where more than 70,000 Christians gather every week to worship and praise the name of Jesus.

Being in the Arabic world, surrounded by all Islam dominated countries, it is very hard to maintain the custom and continue their Coptic culture. Yet, their uncompromising faith to gather and praise the ‘Name that’s Above Every Other Name’ “Jesus” in the Cave Church.

Coptic Christians have actually built 7 churches into Mokattam Mountain in Cairo, all in the second half of the 20th century. This church is called 'the Virgin Mary and St. Simon Cathedral'.

Inside the spacious caverns, beautiful engravings cover the walls, each representing stories from the Bible. St. Simon’s Hall, a large seating arena that accommodates 2,000 people for spiritual meetings, sits on the upper level.

The Monastery also includes an education center, an area for children, as well as a school for the deaf.

A special Arabic song ‘Emmanuel” sung by about 20,000 in the cave church gives goosebumps to people to hear it. Watch the video here.

Churches in Egypt have seen their communities decline in recent years as Egypt has faced political turmoil, a slumping economy and a growing militant insurgency. The exodus of Christians has intensified fears for the future for Christianity in the Middle East (Arab World), as some now worry for the fate of Egypt’s Christians, one of the world’s oldest Christian communities.



“Mostly they’re travelling to US to find better opportunities because of uncertainties in Egypt,” said Rev. Markos Ayoub, a priest who leads the Sunday liturgy at St. Mark in English. “It’s not easy to be a Coptic Christian in the Middle East these days considering the militant insurgency in Egypt.

Muslim Mob Parades Elderly Christian Woman Through Streets of Cairo - Naked

CAIRO — An armed Muslim mob stripped an elderly Christian woman and paraded her naked on the streets in an attack last week in which seven Christian homes were also looted and torched in a province south of the Egyptian capital.

According to the local Orthodox Coptic church and security officials, the assault in the Minya province village of Karma on Friday began after rumors spread that the elderly woman’s son had an affair with a Muslim woman — a taboo in conservative Egypt.

Police have arrested six men suspected of taking part in the violence and are looking for 12 more, the security officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi called for the culprits to be held accountable and gave the military a month to restore property damaged during the violence, at no cost to the owners.

In a statement issued Thursday by his office, el-Sissi said Egypt appreciates the role of “glorious Egyptian women” and that “the rights and the protection of their dignity are a humanitarian and patriotic commitment before being a legal and constitutional one.”

Anba Makarios, Minya’s top Christian cleric, told a talk show host on the private Dream TV network that the 70-year-old woman was dragged out of her home by the mob who beat her and insulted her before they stripped her off her clothes and forced her to walk through the streets as they chanted Allahu Akbar, or “God is great.”

Yeah, because that's how you glorify God, right?

The woman reported the incident to the police five days later, said Makarios, adding that she had initially found it too difficult to “swallow the humiliation” she suffered and go to the police.

Attiyah Ayad, a 58-year-old farmer from a nearby village who witnessed the attack, described how the mob chanted “we must drive the infidels out” as they looted and burned the Christian homes, one of which belonged to his relatives. He said they were armed with firearms, knifes and sticks.

The religion of peace in action again. Can't you just feel the calm?

“They emptied magazine after magazine, firing in the air to terrorize us,” said Ayad, who suffered a head injury from being hit by a rifle butt and his son Ayad, 30, sustained a deep knife wound in his left shoulder.

The incident, intensely publicized since Wednesday night, has unleashed a flurry of condemnations on social media networks where users blamed the influence of ultraconservative Salafi Muslims for the attacks and derided authorities for not reacting quickly.

The hashtag “Egypt stripped naked” on Twitter gained traction shortly after it was introduced.

Extramarital affairs or sex between unmarried couples are taboo among Muslims and Christians in Egypt. They often attract violent reactions in rural areas, where questions of honor can lead to deadly family feuds that endure for years or result in ostracizing the perpetrators.

Christian men cannot marry Muslim women in Egypt unless they convert to Islam first, but Muslim men can marry Christian women. An affair between a Christian man and a Muslim woman takes such sectarian sensitivities to a much higher and dangerous level and often lead to violence if found out.

According to a statement Wednesday by Makarios, police arrived at the scene of Friday’s violence two hours after the attack began. The family of the Christian man had notified the police of threats against them by Muslim villagers the day before the attack, he added.

“No one did anything and the police took no pre-emptive or security measures in anticipation of the attacks,” the cleric said, speaking in another TV interview, also Wednesday night.

Is there any chance the police were Muslim? 

“We are not living in a jungle or a tribal society,” he told Ahmed Moussa, a prominent, pro-government talk show host on the private Sada el-Balad television.

Christians, who make up about 10 percent of Egypt’s population of more than 90 million people, have long complained of discrimination in the mostly Muslim nation.

El-Sissi, in office since 2014, has sought to address some of their grievances, changing election laws to allow more Christians into the national legislature and easing restrictions on building new churches and renovating old ones. But many Christians say they are still treated unfairly and are often the victims when in disputes with Muslims.

Discrimination against Christians is somewhat subtle in big cities like Cairo or Alexandria on the Mediterranean, but becomes much more pronounced in provinces where they are a sizable minority like Minya, where they make up about 35 percent of the population, the largest in any of Egypt’s 27 provinces. Minya, like Assiut province farther south, is a traditional stronghold of militant Muslims.

Makarios, in unusually candid comments, said he predicted the crisis in the Minya village will most likely be handled through a government-sponsored meeting of the two sides in which the Christians will be forced to accept “humiliating” conditions for reconciliation.
