Ten masked gunmen, who used machine guns, opened fire at two buses carrying Egyptian Coptic Christians to a monastery south of Cairo on Friday, killing 26 including children and injuring 26 others, Al Arabiya News Channel reported.
The Christian group was travelling in two buses and a truck through the province, which is home to a sizeable Christian minority, the governor of Egypts Minya province, Essam al-Bedaiwy, said.
The health ministry said there were between eight and 10 attackers dressed in military uniforms, according to witnesses.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which came on the eve of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan.
Coptic Christians, who make up about 10 percent of Egypts population of 92 million, have been the subject of a series of deadly attacks in recent months.
About 70 have been killed in bomb attacks on churches in the cities of Cairo, Alexandria and Tanta since December. Those attacks were claimed by ISIS.
Late last month Pope Francis visited Egypt in part to show his support for the Christians of this Muslim majority Arab nation who have been increasingly targeted by Islamic militants.
During the trip, Francis paid tribute to the victims of the December bombing at Cairos St. Peters church, which is located in close proximity to the St. Mark's cathedral, the seat of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
Following the popes visit, ISIS affiliate in Egypt vowed to escalate attacks against Christians, urging Muslims to steer clear of Christian gatherings and western embassies as they are targets of their groups militants.
Copts rallied behind general-turned-president, Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, in 2013 when he ousted his Islamist predecessor Mohammed Mursi, who hails from the Muslim Brotherhood group. Attacks on Christian homes, businesses and churches subsequently surged, especially in the countrys south.

No, they are too interested in the court trying to overturn Trump’s travel ban from countries sponsoring this.
Mainstream media...WHERE ARE YOU...?
Coptic Christian martyrs-—heaven welcomes them home while the hellfires get red hotter in anticipation of future murderous muzzie jihadist residents. They will have earned every roasted turn in the spitfire below.
Political Correctness aside, this is one more example of Muslims killing non Muslims. That is what Muslims do when they have the upper hand.
There was an article that was supposedly from the CIA about group behavior of Muslims by percentage; here is a derived piece:

Grown men killing little girls.
>>Well, the media and the Globalist pukes will tell you that all religions are equal?
When they say that, it isn’t implying that they find all religions equally good. They are saying that all religions are a lie and are equally bad.
Only one world religion is permissible and that is the religion of Humanism. The Pope is on board. Progressive Protestantism is on board. The western Buddhists and pagans are on board. Now they just need those mythical “moderate” Muslims to get on board.

Largely agree with you. But the fellow Christians I associate with are NOT nor will they be “on board” with that lie.
Thanks
Dave
It is about the agenda and about the money.
They know it is evil. Only a total fool would not know it now.
Grown men? No sub vermin creatures of evil.
>>Largely agree with you. But the fellow Christians I associate with are NOT nor will they be on board with that lie.
I know Progressive Protestants and actual Christian Protestants. The PPs are already 90% Humanists. The CPs are vehemently opposed to Humanism.
I don't know where you get that.
>>I don’t know where you get that.
From the American Buddhists I know. Their NewAge-y form of Buddhism is almost Humanism.
“Well, the media and the Globalist pukes will tell you that all religions are equal?
Headshake”
Christianity is the only one they can blatantly look down on without their PC police getting riled up.
Just so you know, not all western Buddhists are New Agey.
Some of us practice the real thing. I’ll grant you that a
lot of them are. As are a lot of western Christians.
Are you a practicing Buddhist?
Yes, as are a number of FReepers. You?
