Radical Muslims detonated a car bomb outside a Coptic Christian church in Alexandria, Egypt, on Saturday, killing 21 and wounding many others. The White House condemned the attack as a "barbaric and heinous act" but - true to form - remained silent on the jihadist motives of its perpetrators.
The car bombing marked an escalation in an ongoing siege against Egypt's oldest indigenous religious community, which previously had been subjected primarily to shootings and vandalism. The White House admitted the bombing targeted Christian worshippers, and if something similar took place in this country it would be called a hate crime, with the perpetrators and their reasons for conducting the attack precisely described. The Obama administration, however, is committed to the intellectually insupportable argument that the best way to combat jihadist terrorism is to ignore its Islamic content. It is the equivalent of telling police to solve crimes by looking into means and opportunity but ignoring motive.
The White House further watered down the impact of the attack in Egypt by combining that condemnation with another denouncing a same-day terror attack on a military barracks in Abuja, Nigeria. The latter bombing was probably the work of a radical Muslim sect called Boko Haram ("forbidden knowledge"), also known as the Nigerian Taliban, but the president chose not to point any of that out, either. Also left unmentioned was the church that the jihadists burned that day in the city of Maiduguri, or the dozens that Boko Haram killed in a series of Christmas Eve bombings in central Nigeria.

One day, the tables will turn.
Not likely. Both parties are in the pockets of the Muslims
That’s the great thing about America. You don’t have to belong to a ‘party’ to participate.
We are intentionally giving the muzzies millions of our dollars so they can buy off our politicians and properties....Very sickening.
We need to quit funding them and become energy independent, so we are not slaves to the communists and insane.
We have to become a free, capitalistic country again with small government otherwise we will be annihilated.
The problem is that our “elites,” the top 20% of wealth in this country is 80% liberal. Like lawyers, who reduce every matter to a legal one, the wealthy think of everyone in socio-economic terms. Every religious matter they try to treat as “old-school,” or outdated. Hence, when they encounter a mentality that REALLY is “medieval” they don’t know how to handle it. They don’t recall that emperor worship, really, REALLY was important to the Japanese, and that almost to a man, were willing to die
for their living god. Saudi princes who dress, talk and act like Europeans, do NOT think like Europeans. That Islamic “stuff” really, REALLY does mean something to them.
I am not confident that here in America any attack against Christians would be considered a Hate Crime— especially under Holder and his President.
