CAIRO (AP) — A bombing at a chapel adjacent to Egypt's main Coptic Christian cathedral killed 25 people and wounded another 49 during Sunday Mass, in one of the deadliest attacks carried out against the religious minority in recent memory.

"I found bodies, many of them women, lying on the pews. It was a horrible scene," said cathedral worker Attiya Mahrous, who rushed to the chapel after he heard the blast. His clothes and hands were stained with blood and his hair matted with dust.

"I saw a headless woman being carried away," Mariam Shenouda said as she pounded her chest in grief. "Everyone was in a state of shock. We were scooping up people's flesh off the floor," she said.

Face it. Islam is simply not compatible with the values, practices and institutions of the modern world. Muslim countries are crumbling and violent. The jihadists are bewildered reactionaries who seek solace and power in the practices and even dress of the 10th century. Rational people in Muslim countries are voting with their feet and are migrating to the lands formerly known as Christendom. Islamic culture will continue to decline as it is forced to confront the forces of modernity.

Ooooohhweeeee. Typical moozlums murdering innocents. I thought our purported “leaders” tell us that all moozlums are peaceful and peace-loving. Our “leaders” wouldn’t lie to us...would they?

The terrorists who committed this atrocity are the sub-humans that the faux pope, Francis, insists all Christians should welcome into their churches and communities. And people wonder why there is such animosity and rejection of this Pretender to the throne of Peter.
