"Bombs targeted two Coptic churches in Egypt as the Christian faithful observed Palm Sunday.

A powerful blast rippled through a Palm Sunday service at a Coptic Christian church in the northern Egyptian city of Tanta, killing 25 people and wounding 60 others.

At least 11 have been killed and 35 others wounded in a suicide bomb attack outside the Saint Mark Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Alexandria."

Seeing these far too often. :anguished::cry::angry:

Unrest, violence mars Arab Spring aftermath

A few more beats in a well known song.
Movements across the Arab World have taken many lives and torpedoed peace.
It's a wonder how, with the interconnections of it all, we put the genie back in the bottle.
The world appears helpless in the face of violent incitements.

The Coptics are basically equivalent to the Jews elsewhere. Wildly successful and carved a niche in banking that the majority can't touch, persecuted every few generations when they inevitably work their way back to the top of the pyramid and the proponents of economic redistribution have their way. Even without the Arab Spring and everything else, things like this would still happen on a regular basis. Some cultures are just inherently superior, which leads to jealousy and violence committed by the 99%.
