This years most notable attack occurred in Egypt, where two 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, this last April 12, just two days after the Palm Sunday attacks, 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 Egypts 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).
Less spectacular but no less telling, after 45 years of waiting, the Christians of Nag Shenouda, Egypt, finally got a permit to build a church; local Muslims responded by rioting and even burning down the temporary tent the Copts had erected to worship under (a different incident from this similar one). Denied, the Christians of Nag Shenouda celebrated Easter in the street, to Muslims jeers and sneers (picture here).
While almost anything can provoke Muslims around the world to attack churches, there is a reason that the animus can reach a fever pitch during Easter: more than any other Christian holiday, Resurrection Sunday commemorates and celebrates three central Christian doctrines that Islam manifestly rejects: that Christ was crucified and died; that he was resurrected; and that by especial virtue of the latter, he is the Son of God.

There is no doubt that Easter would draw attacks from the religion of Satanism, Islam.
Because at some level, they know their own religion is a lie. Christ’s resurrection just illustrates it best.
Every day brings out the worst in Islam.
Anyone seen a positive contribution that Islam has made to mankind?
They believe there was a Jesus, but god (their god) interceded on his behalf and sent someone else to be crucified and I don’t think was resurrected. According to them he will come back with the Madhi but will demand Christians convert to Islam or die.

“Because at some level, they know their own religion is a lie. Christs resurrection just illustrates it best.”
Exactly right! Just like the fact liberals cannot take any responsibility for their failures. If any of these Christian tenets are true,(and they are...) then everything in islam is false. (which it is!)
Their Koran is filled with contradictions to the Bible (as well as itself), but moose limbs simply dismiss them with the idea that the Bible was “corrupted” by the European churches. Nevertheless, they consider Mohammed (piss on him) to be a prophet like all the others, including Jesus. But Mohammed (poh) is not a Jew because Allah doesn’t like Jews anymore. He just needs our help to kill them all, because it’s not as if he’s all-powerful.
Sunrise brings out the worst in islime. But then, so does sunset.
