Pope Francis should return to Egypt immediately, seek out these jihadis, and explain to them that authentic Islam and the proper understanding of the Qur’an reject every form of violence. That will fix everything.
“Egyptian police say they foiled church bombing,” AFP, June 24, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
CAIRO — Egyptian police said on Saturday they foiled a church bombing by arresting a cell including the would-be attackers, two months after suicide bombers killed dozens of church goers in two attacks.
Six members of the cell including two “suicide bombers” planning the attack on an Alexandria church were arrested in the Mediterranean city, the interior ministry said in a statement.
It said one attacker had planned to detonate an explosive vest inside the church and the other to blow himself up when police arrived to the scene.
The Islamic State group had claimed responsibility for the two church bombings in April and one in December that killed more than seventy people….

Sts. Habenitus, Jeremiah, Peter, Sabinian, Walabonsus, and Wistremundus (d. 851), martyrs of Cordoba, Spain. Reported in the Memoriale Sanctorum in response to Spanish Umayyad Caliph ‘Abd Ar-Rahman II’s ministers that they convert to Islam on pain of death.

Hey, they’re just trying to get even for the 35 Moslem houses of worship Keith Ellison said were burnt down since Trump became President in the U.S. (sarcasm)

Congratulation to the Egyptian police and intelligence services.
Westman says
Absolutely. They should also take the terrorists out to a secluded area, activate their belts remotely, and give them the option of blowing themselves up for Allah or be shot by the police. Allah would greet them in Jannah, wouldn’t he? Win-win.

Feeding them in that other place in Egypt was almost rewarded.
Terry says
A shame the two suicide bombers didn’t set their vests off–with the members of their cell (not the church goers) present.
Malcolm (South Afric) says
“In Islam and the Qur’an there is everything. Parts that actually speak of peace are mixed with outrageous claims that run in the opposite sense, especially with regard to those who have different beliefs. Therefore, a priori, it is not right to defend Islam as a ‘religion of peace’. In addition, it is wrong to say that we believe in the same god. For Christians, God is love. For Muslims, this is not always the case. We can say, correctly, that both faiths believe in one god, but this is something quite different from saying that we believe in the same god. I think, in many ways, the model of Islam is incompatible with Western values. Islam in fact is not only a religion, but unifies politics, economics, society and state.” — Samir Khalil Samir, S. J., Interview, April 2017.
