Egypt Islamists are targeting Christians churches and businesses as the country increases security at the Supreme Constitutional Court in Cairo ahead of planned mass protests by Morsi supporters.

In the four days since security forces cleared two sit-in camps by Morsi supporters, Islamists have attacked dozens of Coptic churches, along with homes and businesses owned by the Christian minority. The campaign of intimidation appears to be a warning to Christians outside Cairo to stand down from political activism.

Nearly 40 churches have been looted and torched, while 23 others have been attacked and heavily damaged since Wednesday...

I guess for the radical Islamists, and the Muslim Brotherhood, but I repeat myself -- tolerance is a one way street. We are supposed to be tolerant towards them, while they are torching Christian churches.

[elhombrelibre]

The Muslim Brotherhood is as tolerant of Christians as the average Liberal is. The biggest difference is that the Religion of Peace is in a bigger hurry to destroy Christianity.

It’s odd because this would be a “signal” to ME to begin nuking selective sections of the nation into OBLIVION until the attack on Christians stopped.

But that’s just me.

Looks as if the lights are going out in Egypt.  No good comes of this for anyone.  The people of Egypt will pay a heavy toll.

Cairo will go the way of Beruit and Kosovo.  The capital will look like a war zone, with everything in sight shot up, destroyed.

Enjoy, citizens of Egypt...

Thanks for the link to Mike Ramirez’ cartoons - I always did like him, still do. He hits the nail on the head.

[DoughtyOne]

He sure does. Thanks for the comments. I appreciate it.

Pleasse list where people can donate to help Christians in Egypt. The ObamaGoon Government will not—but the American Christian Community—needs to side with brother Christians to help them in their hour of need. The Churchs should be—and will be—rebuilt but the losses are great—in lives and art treasures. Please give to the right causes. Pray for the Christians of Egypt; Coptic, Protestant, Nestorians and Roman Catholic. Bless them Lord as they face these terrible times, may peace come to the peoples of the Nile. Amen.

Voice of the Martyrs is a good place to start if you want to help persecuted Christians.
