Why Easter Brings Out the Worst in Islam
Frontpage ^ | April 17, 2017 | Raymond Ibrahim

Why are some Christians murdered and many more terrorized in the name of Islam every Easter holiday?   This year’s most notable attack occurred in Egypt, where two packed Coptic Christian churches were bombed during Palm Sunday mass, leaving 50 dead and 120 injured.   While this incident received some coverage in Western media, attacks on churches in Egypt on or around Easter are not uncommon.  For instance, two days after the Palm Sunday attacks, on April 12, authorities thwarted another Islamic terror attack targeting a Coptic monastery in Upper Egypt.   Similarly, on April 12, 2015, Easter Sunday, two explosions targeting two separate churches took place in Egypt.   Although no casualties were reported—hence no reporting in Western media—large numbers could easily have resulted, based on precedent (for example, on January 1, 2011, as Egypt’s Christians ushered in the New Year—another Christian holiday for Orthodox communities—car bombs went off near the Two Saints Church in Alexandria, resulting in 23 dead worshippers and dozens critically injured).

Muslims never need an excuse to commit horrific acts of violence against Christians. But it appears Easter and the celebration of the risen Christ inspires them to even more violence than usual.

I am humbled by the courage of Copts who come to worship knowing they will be attacked.

Satan hates Easter.It’s when he lost,it’s all downhill for him after that.And since Islam is his creation he inflames it’s followers on this date.

Agreed. Makes you wonder how many Christians in the west would have that kind of courage and devotion.

ramadamadingong brings out their worst. Fridays after “prayer” they are enthused and go out and kill people. Someone posts a drawing of mo, and they blow things up. They see some female skin and rape the woman. The sun comes up and they are angry at the world, ready to blow it up for their cult of death.
The only answer is to eradicate it.

Yet another Islamophobic article. Why not a positive article on (for instance) the contributions of Muslim inventions to the world?:

1) Underwear Bomb
2) Shoe Bomb
3) Diaper Bomb
4) Cell Phone Bomb
5) Energy Drink Bomb
6) Dog Bomb
7) Print Ink Cartridge Bomb
8) Rectum Bomb....
.... and I'm sure I've missed a few.

Those who follow Satan are incensed by the Love of the one true God.

Easter doesn’t bring out ‘the worst in Islam’. It brings out Islam,period.
