Isn’t this the same church that had the Virgin Mary sightings back in 1968? I seem to remember multiple night time photos of a glowing ghost like apparition of a woman in a mantle on the roof.

No need to fear, Egypt! The Øbamanation is coming... and in his speech he will confess to all the big, bad USA's criminal faults and praise the coming new world order under him and Islam!
