Over 60 churches across Egypt have been targeted by Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers as conflict rages across the country. Nonetheless, Coptic Christians are now returning to their church in Minya, which was burned by raging Islamists. “This will learn us to be better Christians” said Pastor Sameh Ibrahim. Fourteen churches in the area were burned in the past few days. In Minya, Christian churches have been slathered with black Xs to mark them for violence by Islamists.

I stand with the Christians, I do not stand with anyone or any group that stands with a death cult.

Build castle walls with walkways with lined with oil buckets; when attacked by Muzzies, simply pour, use flamethrowers and watch them run or burn to a crisp...

I stand with the Christians.

And at this point the Egyptian military.

They seem to actually understand the states.

Christians are about 10% of the population. Beyond that, power in Egypt is a numbers game.

The MB has about 37.5% support, or at least did. The Salafists about 17%. However, many Egyptians look down on the Salafists as lower-order Arabs, certainly below the status of Egyptians.

That being said, many Egyptians now distrust democracy, because they figure that the Islamists will get the upper hand and oppress everyone.

Probably the very best thing the military can do right now is to stimulate agriculture as much as they can. If the public can eat, it buys the military a lot of time.

Are the Christians doing anything to counter the violence?
To protect themselves?

They may be vastly outnumbered nationwide but they should be able to round up enough manpower to give some of the maurauding gangs of muzzie crazies a sound thrashing.

Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.

Amen.

Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. Luke 22:36

Hopefully the Christians are arming and protecting themselves.
