ISIS has been hunting down Egypt Christians like dogs and murdering them. In another story of ISIS violence,the terrorists hunted down a Christian man on their "kill list" and put a gun to his head and demanded he convert to Islam. When He refused, the shot him right there and walked off like nothing happened:

Two Isis fighters wielding guns approached their target. Bahgat Zakhar, 58, was an Egyptian Copt on a “kill list” and the terrorists had been tracking him for days.

They were unfazed by the heavy presence of the Egyptian security forces deployed across Arish, the largest town in north Sinai. Bewildered, the polite veterinary surgeon stood up to shake the hands of the jihadists. They rammed him into the concrete terrace. “Repent, infidel. Convert and save yourself,” one of the men said, pressing the gun barrel to Mr Zakhar’s temple and forcing him to his knees.

The father-of-two shook his head, an eyewitness later told the family. So they shot him and strolled off. “They didn’t even run,” Mr Zakhar’s widow, Fawzia, told The Times from the Suez Canal town of Ismailia, where she and her two children were on the run from Isis.

Her family are among nearly 300 Christians who fled the violent peninsula in February after militants killed eight Copts, including her husband, in less than two weeks. It is the worst bout of violence to hit the Coptic community in north Sinai, an area where Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the Egyptian president, claims to be winning a four-year war against terrorism. Isis has fuelled the persecution of Coptics and Christians across the region and all but a few have fled Syria and Iraq. (source)
