Terrible. When did this happen?

I saw a man running with a little boy who had obviously been wounded.

Mooslim scum....typical. The sooner we openly acknowledge Islam for what it really is, the better.

It’s clear the Egyptians reached the peak of their building skills back in the pyramid days.

You wouldn’t expect them to go up against anyone who will hurt them, would you? Mohammedans are such cowards.

remember.....ethnic cleansing....like racism, can only happen in one direction...

only whites and Christians can be racist...only whites and Christians can be guilty of ethnic cleansing.

when it happens in the opposite direction, it is a justifiable act.

American Taxpayers funding attacks on Christians.

Where is Obama? Sticking his nose into state matters on the side of the vicious thug unions.

This attack on Christians is right up his ally.

Things weren't good for Christians under Mubarak, but they will now get much worse with the approval and assistance of Obama as the Islamists take over in Egypt.

This isn’t the only Christian church the army has attacked. Link to Archbishop’s site:

Youtube link to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeQ85q_7opc

According to some of the commenters at youtube, during the uprisings the Egyptian police told the monastery they would no longer be able to protect them. The Coptics were told they would have to protect themselves. In order to do that, the Copts built a wall in front of their monastery to protect it. The Egyptian army claimed the wall was built without government permission, so they came with tanks to knock it down. When the unarmed Copts objected, the Egyptian army opened fire on them. This monastery has been there since the 5th century AD.
