Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Graphic: Images and video of Palm Sunday’s Coptic church bombings

Apr 12, 2017 7:47 am By Raymond Ibrahim

The number of dead from the Palm Sunday bombings of two Coptic churches in Egypt has climbed to 50: thirty Christians were killed at the St. George Church in Tanta, and 15 Christians and five police officials were killed in St. Mark in Alexandria. About 120 are seriously injured.

Because Islamic suicide bombings are on the rise and we risk becoming desensitized to them, and because one picture is supposedly worth a thousand words, below are several images and a video of the bombings.

WARNING: Some of these are graphic. (Those who can handle them might also wish to see what the December 11, 2016 St. Peter’s bombing in Cairo and the 2011 Islamic suicide bombing of a Baghdad church, in Baghdad look like.)

Here’s a brief video — likely to be removed by YouTube soon — of some of the victims of the Tanta attack; note the woman whose left leg appears to have been severed from her body during the blast but remains held together in her pants — as well as the dead little girl.

The first pictures of Coptic Pope Tawadros, who was in the St. Mark Church during the attack, and reportedly could not speak or make any comment for some time.

    No doubt Islam is demonic religion.

    These were not pedestrians on a street. This was DURING A CHURCH SERVICE.

    See “Piers Morgan: Media doesn’t care about Palm Sunday attacks” on youtube.

    The world “condemns” and moves on. Very little thought given to the ideology driving these attacks, and next to none given to the fact that Christianity is facing extermination by Islam in the Middle East/North Africa.
    Reason is that giving too much though and speaking about this topic puts Islam in a negative light.
    And Islam happens to the the one religion which we all have to tip-toe around to avoid a barrage of smear.
    People prefer shutting up to accommodate the religious sensitivities of Muslims, rather than standing up for the victims of Jihad. It’s sad and frustrating.

    President Trump…

    …aren’t bombs in Egypt made of “chemicals” too?

      According to Mad Dog, Trumps attack took out 20 aircraft. What on earth was Trump thinking? He gave the Islamic State a major boost.

      This was not an attack by the Egyptian government. Unless you are suggesting Trump target the already dead suicide bomber?

    Mohammedans are flooding into the West claiming to be refugees, while the places they are coming from are becoming almost 100% Mohammedan as Christians and other minorities are being wiped out.

    “Oh, evil, racist infidels! Let us into your countries! We are Muslim refugees! What are we escaping from, you ask? Why, from other Muslims who are trying to impose Islamic law on us! Now let us in, so that we can impose Islamic law on YOU!”

      Trump said that he would start giving priority to Christian refugees. I hope he is able to do so.

    Where is the outrage from world leaders, moderate muslims and our fellow western Christian leaders?

    Their silence speaks volumes.

    Only those labelled Islamophobes notice the hypocrisy.

      I know what you mean. I wish some independent entity would publish number of children killed in these atrocities. If Trump gets incensed at pictures of dead Syrian kids, he should be bombing the crap out of the caliph for these Egyptians, and for the little girl run over by the Stockholm killer. Anymore, I don’t believe that only adults were killed at the WTC on 9/11. The media only admit one little girl killed on one of the planes. And all these mall and bazaar killings in the Middle East and Africa. There have to be plenty of kids killed that no one talks about.
      The world needs to know what’s happening and what they’re accepting through indifference.

        Eight children died on 9/11. Here is a video memorial:

    Looks at the faces. Even in such tragedy Christian show more humanity than muslims ever do. I feel so sorry for them.

    Obama the snarky, filthy stinking globalist and Rotten Clinton are at the head of this. They allowed ALL the problems we have seen to grow.

    I am so sad and stunned by this type of terrorism,the Orthodox Christian is the true and pre christian in the world.this innocent devout people to God have never done any crime,but still are undergoing suffering and longanimity by these devil people who were born for violence and destruction.May God bestow his mercy up on his innocent people.May God punish the criminals in HELL.

    Where are the ‘brave’ journalists’ and why didn’t one of them take a picture of the little girl, dead, laying on the ground, in a similar pose to the drowned little Muslim boy that the media went crazy about, a year or two ago?
    A ‘brave’ journalist took pictures of the Syrian chemical weapon attack, where are they when Christians are getting slaughtered?

  11. chris says

    Apr 13, 2017 at 8:53 am

    What…. no planes flying from US bases to wipe out those who perpetrated this crime as they did in Syria ? Oh no, only Christians were killed in this attack . Nothing to see here. Move along

    Please, you must show pictures of the victims. Show what the Muslims do.
