Franciscan School looted and classrooms burned to the ground

Nuns subjected to abuse as they were paraded through the streets

Two Christians killed since government moved against protesters

Dozens of churches, homes and businesses owned by Christians attacked

A mob marched nuns through the battle-torn streets of Cairo ‘like prisoners of war’ in the latest outrage against Egypt’s Christian minority.

Sister Manal, principal of a Franciscan school in suburban Cairo, watched for six hours as a mob looted the building, knocked the cross off the gate and replaced it with a black banner resembling the flag of Al Qaeda.

The classrooms were then burned to the ground and the women taken away, attracting a crowd of abusive onlookers

An Egyptian army officer raises his gun at the crowd outside a mosque in Cairo. Elsewhere nuns were paraded like 'prisoners of war' after Franciscan School attacked by Islamists(continued)

As another thread noted, the Rubicon has been crossed already. The military must either exterminate the MB, or face extermination themselves in a long insurgency.

Just looked this us, seems there were 9 Crusades. I’m thinking we need Number 10 so we can finish this business, once and for all.

Brings to mind http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs_of_Compi%C3%A8gne

whose death, and the dignity and resolve with which they faced it, is credited by some with ending the reign of terror.

Just think .... they would be safe if they were in Israel.
You know them place your church supports the division of to hand it to those Islamics that want to wipe Israel off the map.

That would be the ONLY safe country in the middle east for ANYONE who isn't a muslim.
