Mob attacks Christian protest in Egypt
""CAIRO — An Egyptian security official says an angry mob attacked a group of mainly Christian protesters demanding drastic measures to heal religious tensions, and scores of people have been injured.

Hundreds of protesters have been holding a sit-in outside the state television building for nearly a week, blocking traffic.

The official says nearly 100 people lobbed rocks at the protesters and set vehicles on fire early Sunday outside the TV building, which sits on a street that lines the Nile River. The official says the mob was retaliating for an earlier scuffle that left one of them badly injured.""


Christians in Egypt still suffer real oppression, even their protests for equal rights result in mobs of angry Muslims coming down on them with rocks in hand.

And unsurprisingly, the Muslim mobs tend to attack after Friday prayers at their Mosques. That leaves little doubt that they are receiving their dose of hate from the Imans of Egypt. Wonder where all the "Democracy" protesters are at ???

And lets not forget the recent attack a few days ago on Christians that left 12 dead, and the attack a month before that that leveled a church...And the attack before that in March, and the Alexandria church bombing, and the attack before that in November, and the shooting in October that killed 3 Coptic Priests and on and on [you get the idea].

I somewhat agree with HB. They shouldn't have blocked the traffic. This wasn't exactly a peaceful protest. The Muslim side wasn't much better though.

Religious discrimination and the resulting mob violence is nothing but a blot on humanity.
Where ever it occurs.

They all should convert to Islam or move away. As bad as the old dictators of the Arab world were, they did try to keep the peace between the Christian minorities and the larger Muslim population. Saddam Hussein had Christians in high-power positions. Assad in Syria is pretty tolerance toward the Christians. We have seen this countless times before, especially in Europe, as the old rulers go away, so does law and order, ethnic violence usually flair up afterward.

Yeah, the United States is way above that sort of thing. We would never discriminate or look down upon any other minority religious group.

I can't help but think that if a mob of Christians had stoned a group of peacefully protesting muslims the responses so far would have been a lot different.

The response would be:

"Shens,there's no such thing as a peaceful group of Muslims"

I do agree. A proper way to handle the Christian protesters in a Muslim fashion would be to bring out a huge Muslim-Brotherhood emblazed bulldozer - armed with loudspeakers that sing the call to prayer so that all the Muslims in a 500 mile radius would rally around it and kill any who tried to escape, and the ones who dont run just bulldoze them to death.

Then they could take that bulldozer and kill the rest of the Christians in Egypt and pile them up on the Israeli border, just blame the Jews after that! It makes perfect sense.

It would be different! The Muslims would just hold hands in response and sing Kum-Bi-yah and turn the other cheek!

Remember it is a religion of peace, even Buddhists are violent compared to the peaceful teachings of Muhammed.

The Buddhists are smart enough to let the Christians and Muslims kill each other.

This happens largely because when Muslims reach some critical mass, they stop tolerating that which is not Muslim.

If Muslims protested in a United States city and started blocking traffic, you can bet your asses that the usual suspects would immediately be on here talking about how we need to turn the Muslim world into glass.

For some reason it was ok for Christians to slaughter tens of thousands of people in the name of Christ? Namely, every the native people of every country Europeans invaded.

What goes around comes around.

Sounds like they deserved it.

anyone who blocks traffic should be arrested.

Damn straight! How dare anybody block traffic!

I don't need them to block traffic to endorse that plan.
