Hundreds of Muslim demonstrators attacked an unlicensed church south of Cairo wounding three people, an Egyptian Coptic Christian diocese said on Saturday, in the latest assault on members of the countrys Christian minority.

The incident took place after Friday prayers when demonstrators gathered outside the building and stormed it. The demonstrators chanted hostile slogans and called for the churchs demolition, the diocese in Atfih said. The demonstrators destroyed the churchs contents and assaulted Christians inside before security personnel arrived and dispersed them.

The wounded were transferred to a nearby hospital, the diocese said after the attack, without elaborating.

A media coordinator at the diocese, the Rev. Yehnes Youssef, said later on Saturday that three Copts were wounded but have been treated.

The church in Giza just outside of Cairo is yet to be sanctioned by the state but has been holding prayers for 15 years. The diocese said it had officially sought to legalize the buildings status under a 2016 law that laid down the rules for building churches.

Local authorities often refuse to issue building permits for new churches, fearing protests by hardline Muslim. Christians sometimes build churches illegally or set up churches in other buildings.

Christians constitute around 10 percent of Egypts predominantly Muslim population. Sectarian violence erupts occasionally, mainly in rural communities in the south.

Egypts Christian minority has been targeted by Islamic militants in a series of attacks since December 2016 that left more than 100 dead and scores wounded. The country has been under a state of emergency since April after suicide bombings struck two Coptic Christian churches on Palm Sunday in an attack that was claimed by the local affiliate of the Islamic State group.


What a way to start the Christmas weekend.

Ugh. Im so scared. This is always the season when Christians get attacked the most in the Middle East. I have family visiting Egypt, Im very nervous for them.

And thats a fucking lie to say it began in December 2016. It started way before that.

Admiral is the perfect example of how people can report the truth incorrectly. Don't technically lie. Just only report truths that support whatever thing you want to push, ignore the rest. Post statistics without interpretation and consider it a win because "You can't argue with statistics"! Maybe we should call Admiral "CNN".

It's quite amazing isn't it? The level of brainwashing that the left goes through.

All the hypocrisy points to one conclusion, they hate the West. It's why only white people can be racist in their eyes. Only Christians are problematic and not Muslims. Only minorities can be proud of their culture but whites can't. Only minorities can partake in identity politics as a good thing, but white identity politics are problematic. Only minorities can have self interests, but white self interests are problematic.

And i can keep going on.

Because people don't post in a vacuum. They have behavioral patterns. Admiral has a consistent and predictable pattern in the facts he presents. Truth can be just as much of a weapon as a lie.

Here's an Antifar topic wherein he relays a news story for the umpteenth time that affirms his personal political slant:

How come you aren't in there scolding him for using truth "as a weapon"? In fact, I never see you whining about this in his topics. Why?

Have I asked for Admrial to be imprisoned? All I'm saying is that a fact can be used as poorly as a lie. You know how there are good lies? There are bad uses of truth. I'm sure the worst peope in history used some facts in their rhetoric. Does that mean they were right since facts can't be argued with? People all over the political spectrum use the truth in specific ways to push certain agendas.

Because Christ, being the son of God, apparently makes him higher up on the totem pole than Muhammed. As such, Christ's worship is an affront to Muhammed, and all Christians must die for the blasphemy against Islam.

That's why all Christains must die according to Muslims. All Jews must die according to Muslims because Judaism rejects Muhammed completely, just as they reject Christ.
