The fruits of the “Arab Spring.”
CAIRO, Egypt, September 30 (CDN) —A group of hard-line Muslims attacked a church building in Upper Egypt this afternoon, torching the structure and then looting and burning nearby Christian-owned homes and businesses.
The 3,000-strong mob of hard-line and Salafi Muslims gutted the Mar Gerges Church in the Elmarenab village of Aswan, then demolished much of its remains, multiple witnesses at the scene said. The mob also razed four homes near the church and two businesses, all Christian-owned. Looting was also reported.
Michael Ramzy, a villager in Elmarenab, said the attack started shortly after Muslims held their afternoon prayers. “Imams in more than 20 mosques called for crowds to gather and destroy the church and demolish the houses of the Copts and loot their properties,” Ramzy told local media.
The Mar Gerges burning is the third church in Egypt in seven months to be burned down by a mob. Additionally, numerous other churches have been looted or otherwise attacked this year including a New Year’s Eve bombing at the Two Saints Church in Alexandria that left 23 dead and scores critically wounded.
Hope and change world wide....
FUBO
It looks like the "Arab Spring" has sprung.
And the U.S. Government is in talks with the MB and giving them money.

Let me be the first to proclaim you're an idiot..
US Diplomats are in contact with them. It won't happen again, I'm assured*.
* - depends on assuring the meaning of assured
So where is the State Dept. comment on this?
(They won’t issue one if the public doesn’t call for it.
Contact them and ask what their response is, using the email contact form at their website).
What?
Are you on drugs?
What are you replying to? 5 or 9?
So are we to assume you are on your way to Egypt to go Rambo?
Or already there?
Not sure what you find “hilarious” about this. That Coptic Christians are being attacked?

Well, good luck.
*well, are you on drugs?
Egypt should institute a policy of dynamiting mosques where people are incited to violence. Nobody would die...except maybe Allah.
This is EXACTLY why you need a candidate that fully understands Islam. Cain seems to be there. Perry has some problems...
