Arab Spring.
A Muslim mob attacked a Christian Church in Cairo tonight. 6 people were killed and the church was torched.
Hundreds of Muslims stood around outside the church and recorded the event with their phones.
CNN reported:
Six people were killed and 120 injured in sectarian clashes outside a church in Cairo on Saturday, officials said.
An angry group of Muslim Salafists attacked the Saint Mena Coptic Orthodox Church. They were upset over reports of a woman being held against her will after allegedly converting to Islam.
“With my own eyes I saw three people killed and dozens injured,” said Mina Adel, a Christian resident. “There’s no security here. There’s a big problem. People attacked us, and we have to protect ourselves.”
Egyptian Interior Ministry spokesman Alla Mahmoud said in a statement that six people were killed and 120 injured in the violence.
Authorities sent soldiers and police to help secure the area.

I wonder if there were any Muslims out of the six that died and 120 injured. I hope the Christians viciously fought to defend themselves from this hateful culture and religion!!!

Christians and Muslims clash over burned church in Cairo, Egypt
[Clashes between Christians and Muslims escalated on Tuesday with thousands of people burning tires, smashing parked cars and cutting off a main road despite military moves to control a day of violent protests in Egypt's capital.
Tensions have been simmering between Egypt's minority Christian community and its Muslim majority after a Muslim mob burned a church in a Cairo suburb. Egypt's military rulers have since pledged to rebuild the church and Prime Minister Essam Sharaf met Monday with the protesters outside the state-television building.]

bg. MUZZTARDS ATTACK. It’s called a RELIGIOUS CLASH.
Hezbollah, Hamas, Pallies, Al Qaeda and Iran attack and mortar Israel. Pallies murder, the Fogel Family, including decapitating a 3 year old. The MUZZTARDS slash and kill 5 sleeping family members including DECAPITATING a 3 YEAR OLD.
HOW IS THIS REPORTED??? STOP FOR A MOMENT. Palestinians for WHATEVER REASON, good bad or indifferent, MURDER, SLASH, STAB and DECAPITATE a JEWISH FAMILY.
For what? How is it justified. Who would do such a thing.
And our MEDIA is SILENT. I KNOW ABOUT IT. Why doesn’t ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN or MSNBC??????
5 PEOPLE WERE SLASHED,STABBED and DECAPITATED. A FAMILY!! MOM, DAD and CHILDREN.
This wasn’t COLLATERAL DAMAGE. THIS WAS PLANNED AND CARRIED OUT MURDER.

Yeah, whatever. Soldiers were sent to protect the muslims and police to detain the Christians

Jim,
Call it what it is: The Dark Spring
This is the cold collapse before the violent upheaval. You will find no “green shoots” in this Arab Spring.
Justine commented:
Obummer’s decision to support rebels in Egypt has resulted in many Christian deaths.

what is next in egypt? . the copts of egypt never hurt a fly. i am afraid that the government could not protect them, since the police is not present and the government is soft on the muslims. there should be a world protest especially the united nations to stop those mops of salafiat
Andreas K. commented:
And we all know this never happened until the evil Americans murdered poor innocent Osama bin Laden…. Wait a second…
Of course it happened. Mohammedans must fight jihad, must kill/oppress “infidels”. That’s what Mohammed did and Mohammed was the perfect human being (according to mohammedan mythology) and everybody has to strife to be like him.
bg, that’s a classic example of the systematic misinformation in the west. Clashes? The way our media words such incidents always makes it look as if there was some fighting going on between Christians and mohammedans, while in reality it’s the mohammedans who attack the Christians all the time. I have yet to hear from an actual clash in Egypt where the Christians actually fought back.
It has never happened because usually the mohammedans outnumber the Christians 100:1, or worse.
Andreas K. commented:
al5757, the Copts in Egypt have been assaulted and sometimes murdered under Mubarak. Now that the jihadis are slowly but steadily taking over the country, the Copts actually fear that things will get wores than that.

In France you see how Muslim minority acts. In Egypt you see how a Muslim majority acts.
Josh commented:
We need to pray for the Christians that are suffering persecution over there. Pray that they will stand firm in their faith in Jesus in the midst of their persecutors.
feduptoo commented:
The Arab world is attacking Christians, forcing them out….and the USA’s elite politicians keep allowing Muslims to come here.
Guess it’s ok for them to attack others in their country, but we are supposed to be tolerant as they tear down our Constitution, and our way of life!
There are new pictures now on the web of the SEIU, illegal aliens marching with the Communists Parties in California……..they are all communists!
How long will we keep being tolerant?

in case you haven’t noticed, Islam & Marxism travel on a “one way
street”, but then again, as i have posted proof of numerous times,
they are joined at the ideological hip, ergo.. par the MSM’s double
standard course..

Scores held in Egypt after sectarian clashes
[The council, which has ruled Egypt since a popular uprising toppled
president Hosni Mubarak, also said it would "set up a committee to
assess the damage from the clashes" and restore property.
In a statement on Sunday, it also called on "all communities in Egypt,
the youth of the revolution, the national forces and Islamic and Christian
scholars to stand like a wall against any attempt by the forces of evil
and darkness to tear the national fabric."
Egypt's cabinet also said on Sunday in an emergency meeting
that it will use an "iron hand" to protect national security.
The government has said it will step up security at religious sites and
activate laws dealing with terrorism, to give police more power to
prevent interfaith clashes. The rules also enable stricter punishments
for vandalising houses of worship.]

Here’s a thought, Islam. Why not expect people to excercise enough self-control so that they don’t respond to rumors with murder? Does the religion of peace expect its people to behave like civilized adults, or is it open to these mindless, murderous rampages?
