Bomb spreads carnage through much-loved Egypt church (bomb explodes during Sunday prayers)
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 12/11/2016 2:35:58 PM PST by quesney

The Coptic Christians were in mid-prayer Sunday when the ear-splitting blast tore through their church in Egypt's capital, spraying shrapnel into icon-covered walls and blowing out the tiled roof.

Witnesses said the smoke then cleared to reveal a tangle of splintered pews and body parts.

"It was terrifying. Things were falling down on us. I couldn't get down from behind the altar because of the smoke," said church volunteer Tadros Zaki, 63.

There were too many people. Destroyed, in pieces... people on top of people," said Romany, who rushed to the church to help after the bombing.

The health ministry said 23 people were killed and 49 wounded.

The focal point of the explosion at the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Church appeared to have been just inside the entrance, on the side where the women sat.

A woman's scarf, drenched in congealing blood, lay in the wreckage.

I fear it might only be a matter of time before these savages try something like this in the US or Europe.

Seems they must have missed a few MB low lifes. I guess they didn’t vet them sufficiently.

Of course, to liberals, it is presumptuous and bigoted and all that, for any of us to think that Muslims blew up a church.

If there were no Muslims left in the world, no Muslim could hurt anyone.

Revelations 6:9-11

When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.

And add me, "How long, O Lord?"

Crucifixion isn’t severe enough for these barbarians. Tie them up then feed them ALIVE to wild hogs that haven’t eaten for a few days and broadcast it on television throughout the Middle East.

They are also not permitted to rebuild a church or build new ones. Anybody that thinks this is not part of a deliberate xenocide is an idiot, and anybody that knows it is and still supports bringing it here is a traitor.

I am pleasantly surprised that such has not happened in one of our churches in America, but I am not hopeful that it won’t. Perhaps it will up wake this country when it happens and make people realize the viciousness of islam.
