The Palm Sunday Bombings are Part of Islam's Religious War
Frontpage ^ | April 9, 2017 | Daniel Greenfield

Islamic terrorists have a history of targeting Christians on religious occasions. The Palm Sunday bombings in Egypt are part of a pattern.  Here's Boko Haram in Nigeria in '11.

Nigeria's Christmas from hell began around 7:30 a.m. at St. Theresa's Church in Madalla, a suburb of the capital Abuja, just as worshippers spilled outside from the popular service. "A man with a motorbike dropped a bag just outside the church," a church member told TIME. "One of our officials went to check what was in the bag and at the same time he reached it — that was when there was an explosion. Everybody started running. You can imagine how many people were running around. We thought the explosion was from one car that was parked outside, but we now discover it was actually the bag that my colleague went to check." The blast partially destroyed the church roof and shattered glass in nearby buildings. It turned out to be part of a wave of bomb blasts striking packed churches and towns across Nigeria as Islamist militants launched a Christmas Day bombing spree that left at least 39 dead and scores more wounded in Africa's most populous nation.

This is a religious war. And as much as the media and governments can deny the obvious, a religious war is fought between religions.

Too bad modern Western leaders and the Pope have forgotten the lessons learned with much blood at Malta, Lepanto, and Vienna regarding the true nature of Islam.

Sounds like a good place to send in some cruise missiles, just to send a message.

They’d likely answer, “Uh, who were they?”

It is foremost an Islamic religious CIVIL war.

Sunnis and Shias (and many other sect and sub-sects) have been fighting each other for supremacy for over 1,000 years.

They do fight other religions, but they see them as apostates same as their fellow Muslims which they see as having the wrong beliefs. This also has been going on for centuries.

I urge everyone: READ HISTORY.
All of his is nothing new.

Maybe “turn around” play should be implemented. They want a “holy war”, give them one and start right here in the U.S. with “Crusades II”. My guess you would get a lot of “soldiers”.

Not much outrage over it. Perhaps because the left wants to eliminate Christianity.

There must a ISIS training camp somewhere in the desert.
