Islamist mob parades nuns in Cairo as prisoners of war after six hours looting church school
Daily Mail ^ | 08/19/2013

A mob marched nuns through the battle-torn streets of Cairo ‘like prisoners of war’ in the latest outrage against Egypt’s Christian minority.

Sister Manal, principal of a Franciscan school in suburban Cairo, watched for six hours as a mob looted the building, knocked the cross off the gate and replaced it with a black banner resembling the flag of Al Qaeda.

The classrooms were then burned to the ground and the women taken away, attracting a crowd of abusive onlookers.

Police told Sister Manal that the nuns had been targeted by hardline Islamists, convinced that they had given Muslim children an inappropriate education.

‘We are nuns. We rely on God and the angels to protect us,’ she said. ‘At the end, they paraded us like prisoners of war and hurled abuse at us as they led us from one alley to another without telling us where they were taking us.’

Siblings Wardah and Bedour, two Christian women employed by the school, also found themselves having to fight their way through the mob while being groped, hit and insulted by the extremists.

So far two Christians have been killed since the military-backed government moved against protesters calling for former president Mohamed Morsi’s reinstatement.

And dozens of churches, homes and businesses owned by Christians have been attacked and razed to the ground.

‘I am terrified and unable to focus,’ said Boulos Fahmy, the pastor of a Catholic church a short distance away from Manal’s school. ‘I am expecting an attack on my church any time now.’

And Bishop Ibram, head of the local Coptic Orthodox church, said he had instructed Christians and clerics not to resist the mobs of Islamists to try and avoid any loss of life.

Maybe it’s time for the Christians (or Egypt military) to mark the Muslim businesses with a black X.

Tit for tat.

Let the morons destroy their own businesses.

Time for the Last Crusade?

Hey Obama, America is at war with Islam, are you?

“The muslim brotherhood has to be exterminated.. EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!”


That would only be a damned good start.

None of the cancer which is the hate cult of Islam can be allowed to remain on the face of this earth.

Islam must be outlawed worldwide to eradicate this self imposed mental disorder.

Just as with any cancer, you cannot leave a few cells less the cancer returns.

When Obama’s people began continuing SLAVERY,
the US Congress said NOTHING
and gave them US taxpayers’ money.

When Obama’s people slaughtered and raped a US ambassador
the US Congress said NOTHING
and gave them US taxpayers’ money.

When Obama’s people began crucifixions in Egypt,
the US Congress said NOTHING
and gave them US taxpayers’ money.

When Obama’s people sold innocent captured girls in Syria,
the US Congress said NOTHING
and gave them US taxpayers’ money.

When Obama’s people said they needed SAMs and MANPADS
to murder Americans,
the US Congress said NOTHING
and gave them US taxpayers’ money and SAMs
and MANPADs.

“* Franciscan School looted and classrooms burned to the ground

* Nuns subjected to abuse as they were paraded through the streets

* Two Christians killed since government moved against protesters

* Dozens of churches, homes and businesses owned by Christians attacked”

Sounds like a plank in the platform of the 2016 DNC.
This is what Leftists and atheists hope for. No wonder why they are tolerant of muslim terrorists and hate Christian American soldiers.

First They Came for the Jews

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

~Pastor Martin Niemöller

Community and individuality are not opposites. People cannot survive on their own. When the odds are stacked against you, you must rally with the oppressed and hated.

When a growing oppressive regime is taking hold, you must act, otherwise you will soon face your enemy alone and hopeless.

Strength of community is a strength as much as individualism, as long you are willing to face weaknesses in your own community. Ignoring slacking values will mean that you will be rallied against by those you oppress.

Niemöller affirms we must rally against unhealthy organized regimes. We must also stay vigilant with those that appear to be good natured, as all organisation attracts corruption. Niemöller also warns us that if it is you who are corrupt, then you will face a stronger combined force of foe!

Every bit of this is on the heads of the Obama worshipers and disciples. When this “Arab Spring uprising” began, there were more than a few members of this forum cheering them on. Their hands are bloody also. But, as many will say, “It is not my ox that is getting gored, why should I care?” But it will, my friend, it will. they are just working their way up the ladder, picking the low hanging fruit. The next standard answer is,”We got guns”. Guns, without the ability and will to use them are useless and those over here that are promoting, backing, and pushing what is happening over there do not believe that you possess the will to use said guns.
