EGYPT’S ‘RUBBISH PEOPLE’ = PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

They are known as “The Rubbish People” because they as Christians collect Cairo’s rubbish, recycle it and make a bit of money to live on.

To do this, these Christians live daily in rummaging through Cairo’s stinking debris. Mixed in with the garbage are large rats, goats, skinny dogs and pigs. Muslims stay away from that area because they do not tolerate pigs.

Sometimes large rats eat away at sleeping Christian babies at night. The stench is unbelievable. Children grow up to conclude that separating rotting garbage will be their life jobs. These Christians live in and beneath piles of rubbish. There are ghetto building tops loaded layer upon layer with rubbish stinking under the day’s sun.

These Christians are abhorred by Cairo’s Muslims. Therefore, as long as they stay put in the garbage alleys miles upon miles long, they are ignored, left to the foul odor filling their nostrils every day and night.
