Egypt: Explosive goes off next to church

May 29, 2015 9:29 am By Raymond Ibrahim

A homemade explosive planted next to a Coptic Christian church was detonated around sunset on May 16.

Although there were no human casualties at the St. George Church in Tamiya (Fayum governorate), as the church was mostly empty except for clergy, the church’s administrative offices and second floor glass was shattered, creating chaos and panic in the region.

Church security cameras captured the culprits: two men on a motorbike who stopped at the church, as one of the men dismounted and placed the explosive concealed in a bag adjacent to the church side, before speeding off.

    Muslims seem to crave death and destruction, and nothing else. Yet Muslims and leftists demand we respect Islam? What is there to respect?

      I wonder if the Local Training Mosque would fancy a Pig Parts Bomb for Karma ?

    The police looked the other way…as usual. Nothing has changed in Sisi’s Egypt. The persecution continues.

    Western Libtarded cultural Marxists have no reaction. They hate Christians too, so who cares if they are bombed, shot or raped? Not the Leftards. They’re worried about the least whine from their ‘noble savage’ exotic pets, though, and don’t want anyone accusing them of being terrorists…especially terrorists against Christians and Jews.

    The Leftards don’t even complain when Leftarded journalists are whacked by jihadists. They don’t care about human life any more than jihadists.

    A very good idea to keep the spotlight on Egypt, thankyou Raymond Ibrahim.
    On the one hand Coptic Christians, or at least those abroad, remain enthusiastic and loyal towards President Sisi. But outside of an enlightened circle, Egypt appears to be still at the mercy of supremacist forces. It would be interesting to compare and contrast the suspension of democratically elected tyrannical governments in Algeria and Egypt to help understand the failure of middle eastern countries to gradually evolve into civil societies.

    Small potatoes; isis is bragging they can buy a nuke, “the sum of all fears”. http://www.standupamericaus.org/breaking-news/sum-of-all-fears-isis-claims-it-can-buy-a-nuke/
