Sub-title : Grand Mufti points out that Sharia forbids attacks on places of worship.

The Grand Mufti of Egypt and an Islamist militant organization, as well as Egypt’s Muslim president, have all condemned Sunday’s attack on a Coptic church in Cairo that killed 25 and wounded dozens of worshipers during Divine Liturgy.

“Attacking churches whether by demolition, bombing, killing those inside, or terrifying … secure people are prohibited in Islamic Sharia,” said the Grand Mufti, Sheikh Shawky Ibrahim Abdel-Karim Allam.

The explosion in the church of St. Peter and St. Paul, which is adjacent to the St. Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Cathedral, was caused by a 12-kilogram TNT bomb, according to security sources quoted by Egyptian state news agency MENA. No one has claimed responsibility.

The Grand Mufti, the highest official of religious law in Egypt, condemned the “deplorable terrorist attack” according to CNN. He called for unity against “black terrorism that tries to instigate sectarianism and sedition among the two wings of Egypt—Muslims and Christians—in a bid to weaken the nation.”

I wonder how much this guy must say what the government wants him to say?

What's amazing to me is that Obama, Clinton and much of the US Defense and Intelligence establishment were on the side of chaos, violence and Islamization with their support of the Muslim Brotherhood. By contrast, the present military leadership have reached out to Copts, suppressed Islamists, calmed the streets, and seem to cooperate with Israel.

Naturally, the Obama and the US Government oppose them.

>>Islamic leaders

Who better than "Islamic leaders" to pull the curtain back and expose Sister Khadija's cult as nothing more or less than a Middle Eastern rendition of America's version of the FRAUD: Mormonism.

Will these “moderate” Islamists turn in any and all plotters? And will they agree that churches should be allowed in Saudi Arabia?

Unless they answers to both of these questions is “yes”, then this is all just a smokescreen.

“Grand Mufti points out that Sharia forbids attacks on places of worship....”

Maybe from the mecca or early medina portions of the book. Taqiyya is lying to infidels and Jews in the name of @!^@$ is a righteous thing. ANYTHING to draw the enemy in closer.

Shaved foreheads, gold stars, red belts, and many other earthly tortures await anyone who believes this drek!

They always condemn terrorism, after they wake up from partying all night.
