Your Islamist government is overthrown by a (more or less) secular military, your political party is chased off the streets, your leaders are arrested, what do you do?
What else? Murder some Christians.
I've said it before and I'll say it again (quoting my best friend's late father): these people are jes' ate up with the dumb ass.

Deborah .... When they aren't murdering each other they murder Jews and Christians whose holy book commands not to murder.
ReplyDeleteWonder how the Muslim I spoke to recently would defend these murders, since he and his friend were holding signs, "I love Jesus because I'm Muslim. mercyformankind.com"
Deborah, I wonder what the hard line Islamists would think of your friend's signs.
ReplyDeleteThey just might be on the endangered list, themselves.
Oh, and I used the word "friends" in the Christian sense.
ReplyDeleteWell, there aren't any Jews in Egypt (except maybe Israeli diplomats who will just shoot back), so who else are the members of the Religion of Peace going to kill? Each other? Well, okay, they'll do that too.
ReplyDeleteDeborah .... Very funny, rman. Those two would be my friends like a paper silhouette at the range. I suggested he leave the country since he hates it so much, to which he said why don't I go back to Europe. I said I'm not from Europe, and I love my country.
ReplyDeleteI was going to propose Muslims take up soccer, but we know how that would turn out. On second thought....
Worth noting that it's not quite as stark as you make out Paco. One of the prime complaints about the Morsi government was its unequal treatment of the Copts in Egypt, and the Copts were very definite supporters of the military coup.
ReplyDeleteSo a response to target Copts is not that surprising. Radical islamists want to treat christians as dhimmi's, something not "supposed" to happen under the Egyptian constitution but something most definitely allowed under Sharia law.
So as reprehensible as it was, attacking christians is almost an expected response as many of the Brotherhood see the Copts as a major moving force behind the coup.
"One of the prime complaints about the Morsi government was its unequal treatment of the Copts in Egypt"
ReplyDeleteThat's my main point. Of course, the Copts were going to support the military; and, of course, the Muslim Bros were going to accelerate their attacks on them.
At the rate things are going, it will soon be the case that the only state in the Middle East where Christians (and other religious minorities) will be able to live and worship freely, without fear of persecution, will be the Jewish state.
