CAIRO, Egypt, June 18, 2019 (Morning Star News) – A young Coptic Christian man has been arrested near Cairo, Egypt for allegedly insulting Islam after a hacker posted material on his Facebook page, he and family members said.

Fady Yousef, 25, was arrested early in the morning of June 11 in Giza, southwest of Cairo, despite having posted a video explaining that hackers had placed the offending material on his Facebook page, according to the Coptic Bishopric of Maghagha and El Edwa in Minya.

The previous night (June 10), Muslim extremists angry over the offending material attacked his parents’ home in Eshneen el Nasara village, near Maghgaha in Minya Governorate, about 260 kilometers (160 miles) south of Giza, according to a statement from the bishopric.

“On Monday [June 10] some extremists reaching a few hundred from Eshneen el Nasara village and the villages around it attacked the home of Yousef Todary,” the statement from Bishop Anba Aghathon read. “They entered and destroyed the contents of the house, then moved to the house next door where his brother lived and attacked it from the outside. They were shouting against the Christian religion and the Copts of the village.”

Yousef Todary, his wife and daughter were able to escape minutes before the Muslim extremists broke in and destroyed the refrigerator, television set, mattresses, furniture and…

President Trump announced in a late-night tweet on Monday that millions of people living in America illegally will be deported starting next week.

Trump wrote, “Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States.”

“They will be removed as fast as they come in,” he asserted.

The president also applauded Mexico’s efforts in fixing the crisis at the border writing, “Mexico, using their strong immigration laws, is doing a very good job of stopping people long before they get to our Southern Border.”

….long before they get to our Southern Border. Guatemala is getting ready to sign a Safe-Third Agreement. The only ones who won’t do anything are the Democrats in Congress. They must vote to get rid of the loopholes, and fix asylum! If so, Border Crisis will end quickly!

This comes after President Trump recently threatened to take action against Mexico if Mexican officials continued to fail to stop people journeying from El Salvador, Guatemala and Ecuador from reaching the U.S.-Mexico border. President Trump threatened to impose a slew of tariffs on Mexico if officials did not increase their border security and immigration efforts.

According to a senior Mexican official, the tactic appears to have worked….

After years creating movies for major Hollywood studios, director David L. Cunningham returns to his roots for an indie film set in Hawaii — with faith and family at the center.

This week, a family film that went under the radar for most audiences hits Netflix where millions can enjoy it. Running for Grace tells of a spirited teenager who faces discrimination in Hawaii in the 1920s. Fighting for what matters, he changes the community around him. 

The independent movie features significant stars Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ), Matt Dillon (Crash), and up-and-coming actor Ryan Potter (Big Hero 6). Filmed on stunning locations in Hawaii, Running for Grace released last year just as the main island faced massive destruction from the eruption of active volcano Mount Kīlauea.

“We’ve had some drama in the islands lately,” says director David L. Cunningham in an interview. “Some have said the volcanic activity we’ve faced over the last year has been the most dramatic in a couple hundred years. It wiped out hundreds of peoples’ homes, and we personally know four families who lost their homes to the lava flows.”

Cunningham has previously directed To End All Wars starring Kiefer Sutherland and The Seeker from Walden Media/20th Century Fox, among other films. Currently living on Hawaii Island, his latest film hints at a volcanic eruption. “Some…

A student in an online video says he was kicked out of class for telling his teacher that he believes in only two genders — male and female.

The video does not name the student or the teacher who removed the student from his class, but the male student was able to record the exchange on video.

In the video, the student asks why he was kicked out of class. The teacher says the student was discriminating in his comment that he believes in only two genders.

“You aren’t being inclusive,” the teacher said on the video. “I know what the authority thinks and point of view. It’s very clear that we make no discrimination on the grounds. I’m sorry what you choose to make an issue about a point that is contrary to policy,” he added.

The student said he believed it wasn’t “scientific” for there to be more than two genders.

“I think it’s silly to have anything other than two genders,” the student said. “It’s not scientific whatsoever. I stated something that I believe in and you kicked me out of class. I wasn’t making a discrimination. I was simply saying there are two genders, male and female. Anything else is a personal identification.”

The teacher then tells the student to “keep that opinion to your own house and not in this school.” The teacher noted, “I am stating what is national school authority policy.”

“What you are saying is not very…

Experts may be telling teenagers not to “sext,” but Teen Vogue’s dating columnist is encouraging the practice and even offering advice on how to do it.

Nona Willis Aronowitz writes a regular column for Teen Vogue about sex, dating and relationships. When a reader asked Aronowitz for advice on texting – the reader was worried the pictures may “get into the wrong hands” – Aronowitz responded with a step-by-step guide on how to ease into it. 

Aronowitz urged readers to begin by showing the nude pictures to the partner in person. That way, she wrote, “you’re still in control.” The second step, she wrote, would be to sext “with words rather than photos.” By using words, “the risk of public humiliation is much lower.” 

The final step, she wrote, would be to send the nude picture digitally. It’s often called “sexting,” although texting isn’t always involved.

“So why am I not taking a hard line and insisting you never send nudes? Because there’s something supremely messed up about a naked pic having the potential to shame, humiliate, and destroy someone’s life, especially because nearly everyone does it,” Aronowitz wrote. “… Every time we exchange a nude with care and respect, if that’s what we want to do, the stigma diminishes just a little more, so that one glorious day it’ll no longer work to blackmail someone with…

U.S. Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan announced on Monday that the U.S. will be sending 1,000 additional troops to the Middle East to “address air, naval, and ground-based threats” in the area.

According to Fox News, Shanahan approved a request from Central Command to send reinforcements after images were released on Monday of two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman and near the heavily populated Strait of Hormuz that had been targeted by Iranian forces. 

Last Thursday, Iranian forces are believed to have used limpet mines to attack two oil tankers, leaving major damage behind. 

The released photos show a large hole in the side of one of the vessels – the Japanese owned Kokuka Courageous. Officials believe the hole, which was strategically placed just above the ships water line, was created by a limpet mine to damage the ship rather than to sink it. 

The other tanker that was attacked was the Norwegian-owned crude oil tanker MT Front Altair. Photos show the Front Altair engulfed in flames after the explosion, National Public Radio reports.

Thursday’s attacks caused the forced evacuation of some 44 sailors, but no deaths have been reported.

According to Fox News, the photos – which were taken from a Navy helicopter – not only reveal the damage done to the ships, but also show several members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard…
