The fruits of the “Arab Spring.”
CAIRO, Egypt, September 30 (CDN) —A group of hard-line Muslims attacked a church building in Upper Egypt this afternoon, torching the structure and then looting and burning nearby Christian-owned homes and businesses.
The 3,000-strong mob of hard-line and Salafi Muslims gutted the Mar Gerges Church in the Elmarenab village of Aswan, then demolished much of its remains, multiple witnesses at the scene said. The mob also razed four homes near the church and two businesses, all Christian-owned. Looting was also reported.
Michael Ramzy, a villager in Elmarenab, said the attack started shortly after Muslims held their afternoon prayers. “Imams in more than 20 mosques called for crowds to gather and destroy the church and demolish the houses of the Copts and loot their properties,” Ramzy told local media.
The Mar Gerges burning is the third church in Egypt in seven months to be burned down by a mob. Additionally, numerous other churches have been looted or otherwise attacked this year including a New Year’s Eve bombing at the Two Saints Church in Alexandria that left 23 dead and scores critically wounded.
It is an interesting point that you would ask if I am on drugs. There is discussion that the use of psilocybin enhanced the fury of the berserkers. Neat-o, cause just last night I was reading an article about a study noting that the use of psilocybin can/may promote a more open psyche especially in older subjects.
If it would help you all, we’ll procure some. And go berserking.
America should offer to air-lift the Copts to safety. I have a feeling the Copts might be welcomed into Israel as well.
The Muslim Brotherhood will be Obama’s legacy. He claimed it. He owns it.
Is this change we can live with?
Nope. You are all going to be wiped out by Islam.
Well?
Wonder what Obama “Hope and Change” is going to mean in Libya
From his profile:
“The demon that you can swallow gives you it’s power,
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Tell me what it means. What it means to you.
Request denied. Enjoy your power.
You’re a presumptive arrogant POS.
MY POWER IS GIVEN BY THE CHRIST.
Hey Randy.
With my compliments.
What spirit inspires you to call another human being a POS?
Yours.
Advise you to back off, way off, or leave FR.
And the U.S. Government is in talks with the MB and giving them money.
My first post was intentionally misleading in the respect that NOTHING pi$$es me off more than what this crap IS.
Gritty promptly launched an attack.
I'll give you fire for fire. With the intent to kill. Not Ya'll, but that line of thought.
I'm a poor, simple carpenter. That doesn't mean I step aside for ANY political agenda.
I'm 50 years old. I have 2 beautiful, magnificent grandchildren. And watching EVERYTHING handed to them by all of their forefathers (My dad's line hit the shore in 1729) destroyed by the bullcrap handed to them by sit on their a$$ whining people is unacceptable to me. Sgt. Evan Vela is my brother's ADOPTED MEXICAN SON. But NOW is he simply our (and your) AMERICAN SON. They asked him at his last parole hearing if he had any regrets. He told them "I volunteered to serve. You trained me to kill. You sent me kill. YOU ORDERED ME TO KILL. I killed. NO, I don't have a problem with that". I stand behind that. I stand in front of him. I'll stand in front of you.
PS: I spent a year in the sandbox. As a civilian. THERE IS A REASON God put those people in a sandbox.
PPS: Jim Robinson. You may be wondering how I claim poor, but don't make a contribution to the FReepathon. I got one of those cable, phone, internet promo deals now that goes directly to a credit card. Barely making that minimum payment. I guess I could opt out of that. Nothing on tv. The only person who calls on the phone is the dope addicted DIL to remind us what a POS she is. And telemarketers. Ahhh. Voluntary timeout.
Whups. Had it written. Dinna add ya to the ping. 36
Be well friend.
How can I be? You don’t seem to want to be there. And what else is this worth?
And as aside. My apologies. It isn’t arrogance. Or evil. On my part. Nor yours. Just frustration. (at least) On my part.
I didn’t imply you were on drugs myself, I just didn’t understand where you were coming from.
Eh, sometimes just stepping back for a little bit can do some good. Good luck.
