Even the title of this AP article is written to shield readers from the facts.

“Bomb hits Egypt church” reads like “tornado hits town”

The headline should say “Church in Egypt bombed at New Year’s Mass.”

That’s going to be a two way street one of these days. Someone will go off on a mosque full of worshipers. Do you think the media would cover it?

My wife is Coptic Egyptian, so I'm not exactly impartial but...

Remember when Barry went to Cairo? He visited a mosque and read from the Quran, but interestingly he failed to go to a Coptic church or show any solidarity with the Copts. The Copts are Egypt's persecuted. Wake up.

“After the blast, enraged Christians emerging from the church clashed with police and stormed a nearby mosque, prompting fights and volleys of stone throwing with Muslims.”

Forget stones... It is time they threw bullets, hand grenades, and artillery at the Muslims. The ONLY thing Islam has ever understood and respected is UNMITIGATED FORCE, used WITHOUT DISCRETION against its populations. Nuke a few of their cities... Let them know that for each and every Christian they kill, we WILL slaughter 1,000,000 of Muslims... and then FOLLOW THROUGH. When we have obliterated several million of them, perhaps then they will get the message.

Egypt: Muslims Halt Church Construction, Pelt Coptic Christians with Stones
Muslims are oppressing, persecuting, and slaughtering Christians in Egypt. Non-Muslims suffer daily humiliations, as mandated by the Islamic teachings of religious intolerance. It has been very bad for the Christians, and is getting worse.

The latest Islamic supremacist violence left 93 Copts in Kasr El-Aini Hospital, all with injuries ranging from bullet wounds to eye injuries from explosions. There were reports of limb amputations.

Egyptian Christians Clash With State Security Forces Over Church Construction

(AINA) — Clashes broke out between Christian protesters and Egyptian security forces over the construction of St. Mary and St. Michael church in Talbiya, within the Omraniya neighborhood of Giza, resulting in the killing of two Copts, hundreds of injuries and the arrest of more than 200 Copts.

Nearly 5,000 security forces with over 45 vehicles cordoned off the church site at 3:00 am on Wednesday November 24 , while builders were working on the roof. They used tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition.

Video of Copts being shot at:
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2010/11/egypt-muslims-halt-church-construction-pelt-coptic-christians-with-stones.html _____________ Coptic protests on this scale are rare in Egypt, but sectarian tensions have risen because of the double-standards employed by then government, when a mosque can be built in one day, while a church takes years to obtain Presidential permission to build. Even after that State Security steps in with some pretext and the new church is closed down.

"The al-Qaida organization threatened to attack churches inside Egypt. This has nothing to do with sectarianism," he told TV.
So? Al Qaeda are not martians. Its number 2 is Ayman al-Zawahiri, the man who ran Egyptian Islamic Jihad. EIJ is a splinter of the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Ikawan, which is the second largest party in Egypt. (And Mubarak just blatantly stole an election.) Even if you don't want to blame the Muslim Brotherhood, to call this an outside attack is ridiculous.

Psalm 10 A Prayer for the Overthrow of the Wicked
1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD?

Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor:

let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire,

and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance,

will not seek after God:
God is not in all his thoughts.
5 His ways are always grievous;

thy judgments are far above out of his sight:
as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved:

for I shall never be in adversity.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit Rom. 3.14 and fraud:

under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages:

in the secret places doth he murder the innocent:
his eyes are privily set against the poor.
9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den:

he lieth in wait to catch the poor:
he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself,

that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten:

he hideth his face; he will never see it.
12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand:

forget not the humble.
13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God?

He hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite,

to requite it with thy hand:
the poor committeth himself unto thee;
thou art the helper of the fatherless.
15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man:

seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
16 The LORD is King for ever and ever:

the heathen are perished out of his land.
17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble:

thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed,

that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

My prayers are to these martyrs of the faith and for their families.

In paradisum deducant te Angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.

May angels lead you into paradise; upon your arrival, may the martyrs receive you and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem. May the ranks of angels receive you, and with Lazarus, the poor man, may you have eternal rest.
