Nothing new
The head sustaining

Meanwhile:

fornication everywhere
eyes, mind & heart

The onomatopoeic music deafen
the voice of the martyrs

persecution systems grow
clever

the great harlot rejoice
at her last sip of the cup

blood inside
pitiful monster

all evil is apostate
generative
from that broken garden

On February 15, 2015 a gruesome video was released showing the beheading of 21 Egyptian Christians by Islamic fanatics in Libya. As they were being executed, cries of “Oh Jesus” could be heard in the background. The video shocked the country. Both Christians and Muslims shared a common revulsion over this barbaric act. As soon as the video was broadcast, Egyptian President El-Sisi delivered a speech declaring 7 days of mourning. Shortly afterwards, the Egyptian Air Force bombed ISIS targets in Libya.

In response, the Bible Society of Egypt produced a simple tract called Two Rows by the Sea. Scripture verses were carefully chosen.

The executions took place on Sunday. The editorial team met on Monday to develop the text, while the art department produced the graphics. On Tuesday, the finished publication went to the press, which worked all night and began delivering 1.6 million Arabic copies the next day. Maybe the most distributed track in Egypt history.
