And Egypt’s authorities conclude it was a “generic” crime that has nothing to do with religious hate.
Two Muslim brothers recently went on a stabbing spree targeting Egypt’s indigenous Christian minority, the Copts, in Alexandria, Egypt; one man was killed and two others were severely injured and hospitalized during the rampage.
Last reported on Dec. 13, the brothers had been arrested and were to be detained for four days, pending an investigation. According to authorities, they went on their murderous stabbing spree because they were “upset” that their mother had died earlier that day, on Dec. 10. Even the state appointed prosecution denied that their actions had any “religious or sectarian” motivation.
However, Fr. Michael Gamil, of the local Coptic Church, witnessed the crime and offered a different account. He said that the two brothers—Nasser Ahmed Muhammad and Ali Ahmed Muhammad—specifically targeted and attacked Christian shopkeepers, whom they referred to as “infidels” (or kuffar), on the street directly behind his church.
“The matter began with insults and curses to the shopkeepers for being Christians and Copts,” explained the clergyman. The Copts present in the area responded with patience. Then, when one of them, Ramses, quietly went to close and lock his shop door, the Muslim brothers lunged at and stabbed him with knives.
Ramses’ brother, Adel, who ran a grocery store nearby, saw what was happening, rushed to his brother’s aid, and was also stabbed for his efforts. The Muslim brothers then barged into the clothing shop of another Christian, Tariq Fawzi Shenouda, and stabbed him in the torso, near his heart.
All three men were hospitalized with serious injuries in intensive care; Ramses died of his wounds.
Not content, the two Muslim brothers then entered the same church that Fr. Michael serves in and insulted and cursed another priest, the partially blind Fr. Paul.
Fr. Michael continued by asking the all-important question: “They say they started cursing the Copts because their mother died; and two years earlier, they cursed the Copts because their brother died: what do [familial] deaths and the Copts have to do with each other??” He underscored that the two brothers have for years been in the habit of verbally harassing and insulting Christians—though clearly they have taken their hate to another level with this latest stabbing spree.
The authorities know full well that this murderous incident was motivated by religious hate, concluded Fr. Michael, but, as usual, are reluctant to admit it, as doing so would damage Egypt’s reputation. “Copts were peacefully working in their stores, and these brothers barged in saying ‘you infidel Copts.’ That is clearly sectarian.”
Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross!

Seems to me the term works, google definition. Stabbing infidels is a characteristic of a group, specifically a religious group which would rule out secular. As to hate, that's determined by the government. Obviously infidels would disagree. When hate and murder are a religious obligation, differences in opinion between believers and infidels are to be expected.
ge·ner·ic /jəˈnerik/ characteristic of or relating to a class or group of things; not specific.sec·u·lar /ˈsekyələr/ denoting attitudes, activities, or other things that have no religious or spiritual basis.
Nuke Mecca. Bulldoze the Dome of the rock. That’ll get their attention.
Islam = Religion of Bloodthirst
Bulldoze Mecca and Build a Church and a Synagogue on the excavated site.
God is sadly watching everything unfold that He knew from the beginning of time. That’s why He sent His only begotten Son Jesus to give His life for us all . . . . to save us from our sins and an everlasting hell . . . if we only accept Him as Lord and Savior of our lives. We are getting closer to the NWO reset and End Times. https://www.biblegateway.com/audio/dramatized/niv/Rev.1
Just one of those random events. It’s unexplainable.
Islamists have been doing this for nearly a thousand years, targeting those of us who are peaceful Christians.
Prayers for our Brothers and Sisters in Egypt,
Amen
What would REALLY happen IF we did that? And, WHY don't we do that?? I'm trying to imagine a scenario if that happened.
Mohammedanism is rotten at its core, and at its core is Mohammed.
