Good Friday Attacks on Coptic Churches in Alexandria
Sectarian Violence one more time in AlexandriaWorshippers at three Christian churches came under attack from knife-wielding assailants during Mass Friday. Police said one worshipper was killed and more than a dozen wounded in the simultaneous attacks in the northern city of Alexandria.
The killed victim was indentified as Naser Atta Gergis. Witnesses on said on TV stabbers were running after worshippers, among them were children who were protected by their parents. Egyptian Christians complained that the security's first reaction was so neutral and that it did not interfer for protection.
News reports said that more churches were targetted, however the police foiled the organized timely attackes on the churches.
Egyptian TV reporterd that the Governor of Alexandria said one of the attackers was an ex-police officer who is mentally disturbed. This is so repulsive. The government of Egypt is the government of excuses. Any incident that happens in Egypt and denied any logical or objective explanation is blamed on mentally-disturbed people...
Hundreds of Christians gathered in angry protest outside the Coptic Christian churches, and witnesses said clashes erupted between Christians and Muslims.
Initial police reports said a total of 17 people were injured: 10 at the Saints Church in downtown Alexandria and three at the nearby Mar Girgis Church. A third attacker wounded four worshippers at a church in Abu Qir, a few miles to the east.One worshipper was killed and at least two others were in serious condition, a police official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
The attack comes on what is Good Friday to many of the world's Christians. However, Egypt's Coptic Christians, and other followers of the Greek Orthodox church, celebrate the holiday a week later.
When I hear about simultaneous string of attacks on civilians in Iraq by timely suicide attacks, we call it terrorism. These string of attacks in Alexandria on worshippers, I have no other description for it but terrorism, terrorizing innocent citiznes. It is shocking for me, because when I read local media and I hear Islamic and non-Islamic figures the only thing they say "we want to show the tolerant face of Islam". Are these attacks what they mean by Islam's tolerance?

I highly doubt the attackers represent Islam in any way shape or form. Not even Islam within Egypt. How many of your Muslim friends would agree, encourage, defend or even attempt to justify these attacks?
My guess is none.
There is discrimination, yes, and there is an overwhelming myth that it doesn't exist, yes. And are there those in Egypt who support these types of attacks, yes. But are they the majority, absolutely not. And do they represent Islam in any way, absolutely not.
Someone could run down the street slapping people and yelling "Freedom for Egyptians!!", does that mean he/she represents you?
alb sayed : of course the majority of people support that since that they hear all time from their fanatic sheiks that they r el kafara
dont lie to urself baby
There's a difference between muslims and islam , pretty much as there's a diference between christians and christianity, point me out a perfect muslim/christian/jew? Actions of an individual reflects his own ways of thinking and charater rather than reflecting a concept/relegin/believe. I'll quote a a verse from a song by Roger Waters summing up my point:
You don't have to be a Jew
To disapprove my murder
Tears burn my eyes
Moslem or Christian Mullah or Pope
Preachers or poet who was it wrote
Give any one species too much rope
And they'll fuck it up
Too much rope - Amused to death (1992)
Hi FFE,
I am back to see this bad news. The authorities, for once, should strike hard on those behind this act.
Egyptian in Germany
TO All Moslim Apologists :
"it is nothing to do with Islam"
"Moslims do not represent Islam"
WHICH ISLAM ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??
+ Is it the Wahabi Islam that puts you in jail for possessing a Bible in Saudi Arabia ?
+ Is it the Islam of Ibn-Taymiya ,Said Qutb and Abu Al-Ala'Al-Mawdoudi that preaches hate and killing of all Non-Moslims ??
+ Is it the Islam of Zawahiry,Zarqawy or Bin Ladin ??
+ Is it the Islam that says:"There shall be no compulsion in religion - 2:256 (Mansoukha=Abrogated)
+ Is it the Islam that says:
-"Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them and seize them,and beleager them,and lie in wait for them " 9:5
-"against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power,including steeds of war, to strike T E R R O R into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies" 8:60
- O Apostle ! Rouse the Believers to the fight !" 8:65
- O ye who believe ! Truly the Pagans are Unclean !" 9:28
- "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day,nor hold that forbidden by Allah and his APOSTLE,nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth,even if they are of the People of the Book,until they pay the JIZIA with willing SUBMISSION,and feel themselves SUBDUED" 9:29
( JIZIA=is a Poll Tax levied from those who refuse to adopt Islam paid to Moslims and followed by a slap on the back of the neck to fulfill the order of the Quran to make them feel SUBDUED - Makhtoum ala Qafah - This was stopped in Egypt by the Albanian Ruller Mohammad Ali about 200 years ago ).
I therfore do NOT blame Moslims , I blame Allah ! .

Unless the good hearted people of Egypt start speak up and defend their country men and women from attacks like this and speak up of the injustice that imposed on the Christen minority in Egypt this attacks will continue and the forces of darkness will get stronger, the Morshed el 3am lel e7wan el moslemen said “Toz fe masr we fe abo masr” that should ring the biggest bell in the heart and mind of the true Egyptian to realize that these forces are not Egyptian and they here to destroy Egypt and bring it back to the dark.
If a Palestinian gets stabbed by a jew, riots erupt in all of the arab world... If a Christian Egyptian gets stabbed by a Moslem...Well... Nothing happens.
Hey Sara,
What the hell are you talking about?
It is the same fucking Jihad Again
Those barbarians do not know how to live like humans; the bloody Islamic culture is their blood.
And again it is not the Islam!!!!
Oh sorry I forgot that Islam is the religion of peace!!!!
I have a great idea,
How about creating what we can call Islamic terrorism encyclopedia
and all of us participate so that we can prove to Sara that how peaceful the Islam is.
But the only problem is that she will not have time to finish reading it tell, even if she lives for 100 years, because I'm sure that those same peaceful Muslims will work very hard to keep our encyclopedia up to date!!!!
They were 4 assailants, so Allah is preparing 4*70 women for them in heaven
Good deal, is not it?
Dear Sara !
You are absolutely right !
Moslims did not do it !
Allah did it according to the Quran : Surat Al-Anfal 8:12-17 :
" I will instil T E R R O R into the hearts of the UNBELIEVERS:
Smite ye above their necks and Smite all their finger-tips off them....it is not ye who Slew them ; it was ALLAH "
You see Sara !
Allah is the TERRORIST
Moslims are the Victims of this very strange ALLAH and his Quran !
ALLAH authored the best "Manual of Terrorism" and called it "The Quran "
Yours Sincerely ,
Sam
Choose between; barbarism and humanism; islamism and secularism...
Democracy will win, and wipe out religious evils - believe you me... its the goal of democracy; to wipe out hindrance towards the free individual and the free society - even if it means war!
I have a greater idea for you Anonymous
Let’s destroy all Muslims and burn them all, an eye for an aye, right?
If you think people living from Morocco to Iran are the devils themselves, why don't u protest in your country calling for an act of war towards those barbarians?
You have established that Islam is the religion of violence and destruction, very well... if you are so wit in your analysis of Islam, what do u propose besides making funny comments and offensive remarks? Try to stick to objectivity for a change.
I see no protest from muslims now...
Muslims, and their prophet, surely carries no honour!
To Anon, 4:17.
No, we must de-brainwash the followers of the biggest hoax in history: this religion carries evil - face it!
Good luck in de-brainwashing !!
this is hillarious
who's "we"? forces of light???
to Anonymous 4:17 AM :
No body wants to destroy and burn Moslims as you claimed sarcasticaly!
Destruction and Burning is the ideology of the Religion of Islam alone alone alone.
No other religion in the world orders the killing of those who do not believe in it except Islam and its Allah, Moslims are mere Victims of Islam .
But do not despair ! Islam has a Built-in self-destruct device !
Look at all Moslim Countries that applies the Islamic Sharia Law ; They are backward and running further backwards and backwards by the minute .
The "Infidal" West is feeding 90% of the Moslims of the world .
Millions of Moslims would die if the Western Infidals stop supplying them with food,drinking water,medicines,tents and shelters even the Birds flu vaccines !
Do you remember the Polio Vaccine made by the infidals from Pigs Blood ?? , it saved the lives of millions of moslim children from definite death.even the nice Computer that you are using to write your Blog is invented for you by the very same infidals that your Allah is ordering you to Sley !
Please Please Do NOT Sley them , They Love You and are Praying for you !
God Bless

I see your analysis , i don't see your conclusion, weak?
another thing: when you drive your fancy car to get from point A to point B, think about how this luxury is available to you
it's a 2 way benifit, if you give muslims food and medeicne , they give you gas .. so don't preach about who gave what to whom.
To Anon 5:10 Am :
Gas is Purchased to build the Economy of Gulf States , The Gas Dollars gets them rich !
The remainings of the Moslims of the world ( over 90% ) are Living on Charity by The Infidal west ( Remember : C H A R I T Y ), They will die of Hunger otherwise , God Forbid .
Thank you Infidal west , I don't know what i could have done without you. God bless you for feeding me.
Again, What's your point? you have the upper hand? you are the good guy here? are you justifying to me or to yourself ? whatever get's you through the night
sara

Only people who are not capable of responding in an objective and desent manner ARE !!!!
To anon. 12:50 PM
