This attack took place at Holy Virgin and Mar-Girgis (St George) Greek Orthodox Church in Ghabrial, Alexandria. It is yet another reminder of the precarious circumstances in which Christians in Egypt live, solely because of their faith. But because they are not Muslims suffering from “Islamophobia,” the world yawns.
“Attempted Attack at Orthodox Church in Egypt,” International Christian Concern, May 30, 2020:
05/30/2020 Egypt (International Christian Concern) – On May 16th, an unnamed man reportedly hurled a Molotov cocktail at a Greek Orthodox church in Egypt’s northern city of Alexandria. The incident resulted in no casualties or damages to the church. Police identified the attacker and arrested him.
The attacker is a previous patient at a mental health hospital in Egypt. After being placed on trial, prosecution is ordering a medical examination to determine whether or not the perpetrator can be held responsible for his actions. Attacks on Egyptian Christians and their houses of worship are often dismissed as mental instability, even in cases of attempted homicide. While in some cases it may be a legitimate claim, it is most often used to hide persecution.
…The government expresses bias against Christians, and this encourages the broader national community to do the same, sometimes leading to the desecration of places of worship.

So Molotov cocktail is favorite Muslim terrorist weapon!! Just two days back, a Muslim female lawyer used it on NYC police in the ongoing protests in USA.
SAFI says
*riots and looting excursions, not protests
Mototov coctails have also long been a favorite of left wing

Molotov cocktails are extremely dangerous, and many perpetrators have experienced Richard Pryor type events…

Sadly this is Egypt and there simply is no one left to defend anything, then once destroyed they are unable to rebuild.
To the winner, go the spoils.

Egypt: Muslim hurls Molotov cocktail at Greek Orthodox church in Alexandria
…………………..
Pious Muslims hate Churches most of all.

The Islamic genocide exists in Egypt for the last 1400+ years, and it is NOT a yawn situation. People are murdered, places of worship are being attacked by different methods, girls are kidnapped and raped and killed or forced in to Islam…. and that for mere reason they (the Copts) refuse to abandon their ONLY God to convert to the satanic horrible system Islam. Ironically, the world is in the yawn situation and instead of helping those countries are allowing the Muslim mobs to invade their own countries. THE WORLD GONE MAD.
