Muslim mob in Egypt burns Christian church
Catholic Culture ^ | February 15, 2012 | Catholic Culture

Posted on 02/16/2012 10:06:37 AM PST by Qbert

An angry mob of Muslim zealots, led by members of the Salafist sect, set fire to a Coptic Christian church in a village northeast of Cairo, in the latest attack on the Christian minority in the wake of Egypt’s January elections.

The mob violence in the village of Meet Bashar, which continued through the past weekend, ended only when leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood succeeded in persuading the Salafists to leave the scene. The Muslim Brotherhood was the main victor in Egypt’s recent elections.

-—How did the Crusades start again?-—

Evil Catholics attacked the peace-loving Mohammedans, who were led by Mustafa “Ghandi” Saladin, the greatest peace-lover since John London.

At least that’s what I was taught.

Orthodox Ping!

O heavenly King, O Comforter, the Spirit of Truth
who are in all places and fillest all things:
Treasury of good things and Giver of life:
Come and dwell in us and cleanse us from every stain,
and save our souls, O good One.

Should be titled, Religion of “Peace” Mob Burns Church in Egypt...

Now there’s an oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one.

...and also, “Coming to an Infidel Congregation Near You!”

Egypt now, the West tomorrow...

An angry mob of Muslim zealots...

Is there any other kind?
Isn’t this a redundant sentence?

In my Orthodox Church in America parish, we have a Coptic member with family still in Egypt. So I hear about this stuff almost first-hand.

Then there is my Serbian Orthodox parish. I am a strong supporter of the Serbs in Northern Kosovo who are actively resisting the EU, NATO, and Serbia’s quisling government that in a deluded manner thinks that Serbia should join the EU.

Now US public television is about to release a new documentary about clinton next week. I’m sure that they will praise the Sink Emperor for bombing the Bosnian Serbs to support the Bosnian muslim jihadists and bombing all of Serbia to support the Kosovo Albanian muslim savages. (I hope I’m wrong about that documentary.)

It’s beginning to look a lot like the First Century around here!!!!

Third Century more likely. That is when the persecution really ramped up.

No wonder my heroes are Ignatius of Antioch, Polycarp, Athanasius, and Boniface.

Oh those muslims didn't do it on purpose.

I'm sure them nasty mean old Copts just , just were minding their own business when the demon possessed freaks worse than Maxine Waters went NUTS and burned it down to roast chestnuts on an open fire....gads I just despise these haters of our blessed brethren under such persecution.

Oh man I wish America, wish and pray our president or the UN( yeah right) or some nation would help guard these folks. Now to pray for them to be guarded by the angels of the Lord. God please help them. If there is any time for miracles it could begin now, should it be thy will.
