Mob attacks Christian protest in Egypt

[Dale_M]

This would be ironic, if it were not so tragic. A protest to demand greater protection from violent mobs is attacked by such a mob.

The Christian protesters have been holding their sit-in outside the state television building in Cairo for nearly a week following deadly Christian-Muslim clashes that left a church burned and 15 people dead.

The security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said the attackers had returned to avenge an earlier scuffle with the protesters who prevented a motorist from going through the area. A fight ensued, and the motorists fired blank rounds. The protesters chased the motorist and beat him badly.

Marc Mino, a protest organizer, told state TV the motorists had provoked the fight after refusing to be searched before entering the protest area, then provoking the protesters.

Little annoyances spiral into major confrontations, and both sides feel aggrieved. Meanwhile, this is just one more example of increasing citizen violence in Egypt, and adds to a growing sense that things are sliding towards disorder.

And yet not one word about it from our government, and no word on the major broadcast media outlets. Not surprised at all. They are will to see us all crucufied before they speak up

This is the new Egypt. It has the same bitter irony that had the Arab streets going on murderous rampages to protest Pope Benedict’s inadvertent comment about about Islam and the role of violence versus reason to make a point.

It is nothing new to Islamic teach that already advocates striking at the People of the book until they submit and understand their humiliated position in the House of Islam.

There are none so blind as those who will not see. Liberals and the leftist dominated MSM wish so deeply that the Arab Spring is the truly dawn of a Shangrila inspired by the wonderful peace loving partakers of the Religion of Peace, that the obvious alludes them yet once again.
Just as even the gangr ape of one of their own on the streets of that Arab spring among howls of AllahuAkbar elicits no reaction from them, so too nothing will dissuade them from their fantasy.
Facts that do not fit into their worldview simply cannot be processed by their brains.

Bahaha

What would happen if randomly Catholics decided to have a 200 man traditionalist Roman Rite procession through the streets over there and then into the Catholic Church to start Mass. Hymns and Chant blasting.

I have a feeling they would call that a crusade and claim they were under attack by radical religious extremists.

Ahahahaha. Well, I wouldn’t be suprised! With the recent pornographic material found in Bin Laden’s hideout! (I’m not saying all muslims are like him)

Pornography is everywhere on the street of Muslim countries. Yes, in the land of pure Islam aka Saudi Arabia, porn (everyone), alcohol, and other vices are enjoyed by those who can.
