Less than two weeks after a church bombing in Alexandria left 21 Coptic Christians dead, an off-duty policeman shot four Christians on a train, killing a 71-year-old man. A fifth person was also wounded.
“This lunatic went up and down the coach looking for Christians,” said Coptic Orthodox Bishop Morcos of Shobra El-Kheima, who had spoken with witnesses to the shooting. “Seeing a group of girls and women who were not wearing the [Islamic’ veil, he took them for Christians and fired, shouting Allahu Akbar [Allah is great].”
The new attack on Christians came just after the Egyptian government announced that it was recalling its ambassador from the Holy See, in a protest against the Pope's statement that the country must do more to protect Christians. Before returning to Cairo the ambassador, Lamia Aly Hamada Mekhemar, met with Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, the Vatican’s Secretary for Relations with States.
A Vatican statement after the meeting said that the Egyptian envoy “described the concerns of her government at this present difficult time.” The statement indicated that Archbishop Mamberti “gave assurances that the it also fully shares the Egyptian government's concern to avoid the escalation of religiously motivated conflict and tensions, and appreciates the efforts being made to that end.”
And to Jews for several thousand years.... by muslims and other Moon God worshippers..
Your timelines are off. Muslims haven’t existed for “several thousand years” since their pig loving prophet was born 570 AD.
He asked both the Christians and Jews of the age to name him a prophet. When refused he started his own evil cult which has been killing both Christians and Jews ever since.
I just moved to the south. But in the town I grew up a mosque was made out of 2 houses across from a busy Restaurant. The muslims put a phony illegal traffic no parking line that looked like it was from the Govt for no parking. Just to serve their own selfish purpose. Very arrogant actions. A feeling of superiority in these types.
I worked with them and became friends. I asked if Sharia law came would they protest it. No! was the answer. They considered themselves moderate muslims. Very dangerous. We cannot allow. The best thing is evangelization of the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Praise Jesus!
The muslim religion was morphed from Moon worship.. thats been the rule in the near east for thousands of years.. there were many variations..
MoMo was not the muslims God hes was their prophet..
Prophet of the Moon God(Allah) competing with the Jews God... <<- i.e. GOD..
There are thousands of Gods on this planet..
many have prophets(by some designation)..
others have Apostles, yet others have Popes..
So you’re saying Islam existed as Islam before Muhammed?
Simply "Islam" is Arabic for the meme "submission"..
Yes it existed before MoMo... Islam to God(some God) existed before MoMO..
You are not too smart are you?..
Me either... I am a republican..
wow, a new version of history
