This plot may have been foiled yesterday, but it was unlikely to have been planned for yesterday, as Copts celebrate Christmas on January 7. In any case, it is noteworthy that the jihad plot was organized by “a 50-year-old deputy headmaster of a secondary school in the Minya governorate.” Yet again we see that the mainstream line that poverty and ignorance cause terrorism is flatly and wholly false.
“Egyptian security forces foil terrorist attack on Coptic Christmas celebrations,” Emirates News Agency, December 25, 2014 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):
MINYA, EGYPT, 25th December, 2014 (WAM) — Egyptian security forces on Wednesday arrested seven members of a terrorist cell led by a 50-year-old deputy headmaster of a secondary school in the Minya governorate, who is accused of plotting violent acts during the Coptic Christmas celebrations.
The Middle East News Agency (MENA) reported that security officials confirmed that seven individuals were caught in possession of Molotov cocktails, pictures of the ousted Egyptian president, and circuitry connected to mobile phones to detonate bombs from a distance, as part of a plan to disrupt the Christmas celebrations.

Once again we see proof that over 70% of jihadists have university degrees and come from high-functioning, stable homes.
Practically all jihadists are not impoverished or ‘excluded’ members of society…they are thoughtful and ideologically motivated.
This jihad plot shows a great deal of sophistication. The educated Muslims in the West have such sophistication as well and it’s only a matter of time before they will get the idea it is their duty en masse to conduct jihad against Western taxpayers who resist jihad. They will do that wherever large numbers of Western taxpayers congregate: shopping centers, churches, sports games, transportation facilities. Not if…but when?
Our Western politicians have to start the conversation about how to remove the jihadist agenda from the world.

The Muslim Brotherhood (i.e. True Islam) are losing ground everywhere in the Middle East. They’ve already lost Egypt. Now, the Domino Effect has begun.

Oh why don’t you cut the crap already? Everybody with a functioning brain can clearly see that you don’t actually give a flying f*** about the sufferings of Christians. No, you only “care” when you can oh so conveniently use it as a pretext for attacking Muslims!
Islamisdeath says
So far muslin ms are the ones doing all the attacking.

Can it, C. As Islamisdeath rightfully pointed out, it’s muslims that are doing the attacking – reporting on it is not “attacking muslims”, it’s simply accurate news reporting.
What C is doing is standard damage control methodology – trying to spin things in a way that makes it seem that muslims, who in this particular case were trying to blow blow up Christmas celebrations – are the victims. We see this behaviour over and over.

Miss Christy, may I wish you a very welcome back, you have been sorely missed! But, you snuke in didn’t you? Be honest? You must remember to protect your daughters from FGM, and advise your sons against homicide vests. Raise your male children to be hateful and aggressive, and to learn the fine points of victimhood mongering. As always your friend from the Kufr Protection Society, Don.

Without anger or rancor, Muslims and Non-Muslims will both be happier if they lived in separate countries. I think all Muslims should live in Muslim countries, and they can apply their Sharia as much, or as little, as they want.

Only problem with that is that Muslims took over Christian and pagan countries, turned them into Muslim countries by force and by displacing indigenous people left and right and are aggressively expansionists no matter where they go and where they’re not physically present, they use their oil money to influence foreign affairs. There is no such thing as containing them. But it would be nice. If they’d all stay in Saudia Arabia where they belong the world would be a better place.

Good job Egypt. We’re not out of the Christmas season yet, the Orthodox churches celebrate on the 7th as you said, and it’s mostly orthodox churches in the MENA. God help them and give the anti-terror forces the upper hand.
