Egypt: 7 Coptic Christians gunned down after Christmas Mass

by Infidelesto on January 6, 2010 · Comments

Hmm, Could radical hate-filled Infidel-killing Muslims have anything to do with it? How dare I mention it!!

What’s happening to the Christian Copts in Egypt is such a tragedy.  And the international media largely ignores the issue, instead focusing their attention on made up victims that meet their own agenda.

CAIRO - Gunmen killed at least seven people in a drive-by shooting outside a church in southern Egypt as worshippers left a midnight Mass to celebrate Coptic Christmas, Egyptian security officials said.

The attack took place early Thursday in the town of Nag Hamadi in Qena province, about 40 miles from the famous ancient ruins of Luxor.

A security official said two gunmen drove by a group of people as they were walking out of the Virgin Mary church in the town and sprayed gunfire randomly into the crowd. The churchgoers had just celebrated midnight Mass on the eve of Coptic Christmas, which falls on Thursday.

    Solkhar, you are someone who BETRAYED your former faith to become a FILTHY muslim.
    You are in this blog to be an propagandist of Islam, a rather despicable role in which you
    always whitewash and justify the monstrosity of what islam represents.

    I'm proud of my posts because I'm not a POLITICALLY CORRECT APPEASER.

    Muslims are TERRORISTS.Period.
  • Solkhar
    So to put it simply, you avoided the point of your bullshit by personal attack and the continuous unsubstantiated dirt-throwing. Simply put, your accussations and attacks are worthless, your postings are just mud-slinging rhetoric and you spew hatred as much as the political crap from Hamas or Ahmadinejad and thus your the same thing.

    So everyone, here is the proof, no evidence to his accussations of multiposting, or my supporting death, terrorism and hatred and as you can see, he is the one that pushes such things. I understand in English it is called "scum".


    Oh, JW, your comment about my own faith and betrayel, it would be more logical to say that you have abandoned the faith of Moses with your ugly and disgusting language and attacks or I could be more theological and say that you have missed the calling of not one but two Prophets and thus your criticism about my chosing to accept the more recent Prophet of God is rather pointless.
  • Tonto
    If you don't like it you can go away. I don't think you'll do that though cause you seem to love to exercise a ego aggrandizing superior attitude, which probably conceals, poorly, an inferiority complex of epic proportions. Hope it gets you off dude, it's probably your last hope. The bottom line is that islam is shit, is indefensible and indicates a slave mentality reaching for identity. Bless you child.
  • pevans1
    When have any muslims been killed for drawing cartoons, fuck face? You say not too many cartoonists have been
    killed by muslims? How many is not too much? Your an ass-hole, solkar!
  • solkhar
    When have I said Muslims have been killed for drawing cartoons? Guess your one of those that carries that sign around their neck that Bill Envall talks about (.....there's your sign.....).

    But since you asked - the comment about numbers killed has nothing to do with the value or ugliness of the event. The rest was your comment, not mine and as such the ass-hole by default then has to be you.
  • pevans1
    I didn't say that you said muslims were ever killed for drawing cartoons! That's exactly my point, fuck face!
    You said NOT TOO MANY CARTOONISTS HAVE BEEN KIILED IN THE NAME OF ISLAM! And I said HOW MANY,
    IS NOT TOO MANY? And WHEN HAVE MUSLIMS EVER BEEN KILLED FOR DRAWING CARTOONS? and the
    answer is: NEVER! Clean the Camel Shit out of your ears and get a clue! Idiot!
  • Tonto
    Some raghead telling me that islam disavows these things means that islam is a lie. The "vigilantes" were islamic....and almost always are. How they going to act when the OTHER SIDE starts practicing vigilantism????? They're sure going to be peaceful them, won't they? With a bullet hole in their head?
  • JEWHAWK
    " I do not promote death, murder, hate or bigotry like you do "

    Being a muslim that's precisely what you do.


    " I do not multi "

    Sure. And I'm Santa Claus.
  • Solkhar
    OK everyone, let us see some substance in Jewhawks bullshit.

    So as a Muslim, I am promoting death, murder, ahte and bigotry. OK, show my in my postings or my own actions that have done so. YOU CANNOT.

    Now, everyone go to your posts and read how many times you say words like all Muslims deseve death, you have said to me, go die, Muslims are worthless, less than dung etc....... EASY JUST LOOK UP YOUR POSTINGS.

    I say that I have not multied here, and have openly declared that only the once I made the error of not logging out of another blog, but you instist that I do, so PROVE IT! Again, you cannot and thus you are Santa Claus. Ask politely and perhaps John will point out via ISPs.

    I repeat and I stand by the evidence, your language is full of hate, bigotry, death and that simply makes your rhetoric EXACTLY the same has the words of Hamas polititions, or even radical Iranians.

    I suspect you will not answer this one, change the subject or just do another ugly rant.
  • pevans1
    The Muslims killed Santa Claus!
  • Dave
    Yep, Religion of peace my ass!
  • Shukri
    This action was preceded by a Coptic Christian rape of a 12-year old Muslim girl. Just one crime in a series.
  • Tonto
    Then why wasn't the perp arrested, and tried....like they do in civilized countries. Oh, and I guess the girl will be killed for "honor" too. Frickin' muz are animals (my apologies to any animals offended).
  • Shukri
    He was arrested and is currently awaiting trial. The people who gunned down these Christians were terrorists, not members of Egypts police.
  • Tonto
    So there is an excuse for them to kill several people....because they weren't police and a girl was raped.....I don't get it . Why is the FIRST reaction to kill? If it was a muz that rapes a muz, just the girl would be killed....even if it was her brother or her father that raped her. If a non-muz girl is raped, she's forced to marry a muz. If a non-muz guy is "with a muz girl, it's automatically called rape and elicits a rampage of killing against Christians. I'm starting to see a pattern here. Screwy rules, but it always comes back to muz get to kill somebody or force a girl somehow.....got it! Fuckin' muz are pigs. Mohammad say: "Pigs are forbidden. They will squeal on you." I'll bet that immoral, rotten sumbitch was right, and that's why he quit.
  • Shukri
    The point is that Islam disavows their actions. They were just vigilantes "taking revenge" in the most ignorant way possible. The Islamic way is to forgive (http://bit.ly/6RtK5F)
  • Tonto
    So what you're saying is that an islamic mob, acting against the dictates of islam did this? That means that they are "apostate" and, according to normal islamic usage, should be killed for their apostacy. I'll bet you even money they'll never even be arrested, much less go to trial...and the asshole that raped the girl will get what? Death? Probably. In Egypt, rape of Christians by muz is common, and rarely, if ever, even commented on except by the Christians....and ignored by the muz. You can keep your islam.....keep it far away. Islam is like wallowing in shit, and not my cup of tea.
  • Shukri
    I'm saying that what they did is wrong. They killed innocents which is against all religions, not just the religion of Islam.
  • Tonto
    Righto, at least if you say so. (I do have a bit of a problem with YOUR interpretation of izlame). The problem is that this behavoir is so common in islam. For cartoons (for crying out loud) how many people have muzinazis targeted and either killed or tried to kill? Islaminazis are real willing to kill.....much more so that any other group in the world. They make Columbian drug cartels look like sweet little boy scouts.

    SHUKI, YOU CAME BACK !!!!!!!!

    What a coincidence... a post so NEAR Solkhar's...

    Solkhar/ Shukri/ Muslima/ Chris...

    Is it COOL to have several nicknames in a forum, pretending to be different people
    and provoke strife and disarray?

    It must be very entertaining.


    To JOHN INFIDELESTO:

    John, can I create another nickname, too?????

    Maybe I will disguise myself as a MUSLIM...

    It could be funny, who knows ?

    What about it, Shukri / Solkhar?
    Would you let me do it?
  • Shukri
    Hello to you too, Jewhawk. =)
  • Solkhar
    The more the fight against radicals and extremists in Egypt will create more such events as it is the objective of extremists to divide the community and provoke. That is the sad effect, and the real question should be how much is the Egyptian Authorities protecting the Copts and other communities and groups from the targetting. I would also imagine that tourists are more of a target and I am pretty certain for the financial benefit of protecting its tourist industry the focus is on protecting them more.

    This item is very sad and certainly very real but the media does not show as much as you think because some of the items that are pushed as events are questionable.

    Some Copt websites and so called news-sites are actually political propoganda sites. There is a schism within the Copt community of Egypt and outside because some are trying to make political capital and make up items - see the last item on the Copts on this site which was a fabrication. I spoke to a Copt friend and showed him the other item that was shown and he said it was a fabrication, the photo that was shown made me suspicious so that is why I sent it. He also said that most Copts in Egypt stay away from the political groups because the Copts overseas became politicised and send their money not back to their families in Egypt or for community support but to "make trouble" because in the end most Copts are better off in Egypt, more protected and are positively discriminated in civil service entry jobs and even paying local taxes.

    Yes radicals Muslims like the Brotherhood are targetting Copts and it will get worse, but people need to see the reality, that it is not as bad as some radical Copt groups and sites would like it to be and the context needs to be known so that all the truths come out.
  • but the media does not show as much as you think because some of the
    items that are pushed as events are questionable.


    why must you always play both sides to good and evil. You take both
    arguments and then tout "but you all must understand in context, blah blah
    blah".

    There is no context needed in this story. It is very clear. It has nothing
    to do with so called Copt propaganda sites (btw, if my people were getting
    persecuted and slaughtered unjustly, I might start a website too exposing
    it, especially if the media wouldn't cover it, which doesn't make it a
    "false" propganda website. Just alternative to what the MSM is feeding you
    down your throat)

    Fact: COPTS are being persecuted in Egypt not only by the Egyptian
    authorities who don't care much about what's going on, but also the Muslim
    community who's perpetrating it.

    Another Fact: Some Copts have made websites who talk about Copts and the
    persecution going on in Egypt.. omg, they must be false since they're not
    Reuters. they must be making it all up since they're not REAL news sites...

    gimme a break...
  • Solkhar
    John,

    I have an objective, it is called reality, I am not interested in "sides".

    If you want to showcase the abuse, murder and hated against Copts then do so and if the details are factual then great. Yes there are many examples and yes it is an issue. What I am pointing out, as I always do is when facts are not such. Thus, for example, the item in the last post about the guy being burnt alive was a propoganda stunt by that particular copt site which now I have found out is prone to making things up. I am not anti-copt or anything except anti-BS and anti-radical. As far as I am concerned that copt website in its political agenda decided to make the copt issue look stupid and questionable by showing questionable items, thus making it harder for their cause.

    Yes copts are being persecuted by radicals, not so much by the government as I can see, but the reality is that the poor copts suffer but the wealthier and proportionatly large copt middle-class actually live better and have more influence than the average Muslim does. So far that is the reality as I see it.

    I don't know what site you're talking about. There are million of sites with
    different opinions about the Copts. WHO CARES? We;re talking about
    persecution of COPTS in Egypt and all you want to do is talk about some
    random website on the internet that you feel is propaganda.

    You take every opportunity to deflect, and you're very good at it. I'm not
    saying you do it intentionally, but it's the way you think. A character
    trait that I think is unfortunate.
  • Solkhar
    "WHO CARES? We;re talking about
    persecution of COPTS in Egypt "

    I guess we are arguing in two directions and taking chalk and cheese. I am not in disagreement that there are Copts being killed, I am not talking about accuracy, remember Voltaire? Your previous post about the guy being burnt alive was a scam, my complaining about it does not mean that I am discrediting copts, I simply point out realities. The reality is that yes copts are being persecuted but also that there are politically motivated press scams by "some copts" that are making the issue look bad for the copt community in general. That was my point from the beginning and all the other discussions are frankly rants that having nothing to do with the topic.

    So it is not deflection, I am simply trying to throw out the muck and keep the accuracy, otherwise if you post stuff like the the burning guy item and it is not pointout out, then your blog posting gossip. For example, this item about the 7 copts being attacked is a good, fair and accurate item and it shows it.

    Explain the deflecting please.
  • Solkhar
    Gee I wish the edit function was still available..... guess I am hungry and the dinner event was cancelled.

    Items should have said ".......I am talking about accuracy, remember Voltaire" take out the "not"
  • Tonto
    However the "spin" is spun, the fact remains, altogether too frequently, everyone on the planet, muz, Christians, Zen, Hindus, Taoists ...whatever, are targets for "outraged muslims" of some frickin' stripe, and killed.....and assholes like you try to apologize for it and tell us that "we're all not like that." Who cares? The normal human reaction is to lump them all together....and as far as I can see, the lumping is pretty accurate. Were you dancing a little victory dance in the street on 9/11 with the rest of them, or just smile and sip your tea.....it's the same either way.
  • pevans1
    Tonto, pevans1 here. Yea, so much for the religion of peace. You couldn't have said it any better.....The biggest thing I remember about 9-11 is that the fuck faced Palestinians were dancing in the streets! 9-11 was bad enough, but the
    Palestinians dancing in the streets was enough for me to realize that there was nothing good about Islam! As a matter of fact...it only confirmed the un-deniable...that Islam is the religion of the Devil! It's pure, incidious evil! Period!!!
  • " I am not interested in "sides".

    doing it.

    " but people need to see the reality, that it is not as bad as some radical Copt groups "

    We are not idiots or blind. The REALITY is that your siblings are persecuting the Christians
    in Egypt and throughout the entire Middle East.

    How do you have the nerve to label the Christians " RADICALS " ???
    Do you think you are being FUNNY by saying this utterly absurd statement?

    In Egypt you've got TWO options :

    A) Support the hopelessly corrupt, biased toward Christians and Jews, illegitimate Hosni Mubarak's regime.

    OR

    B) Support the medieval-minded " MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD" which has the honor of having the Doctor
    Al-Zawahiri as principal member and Al Qaeda's Chief-of-Staff.

    DEMOCRACY ?

    If you let the Egyptians freely choose their leaders, a HAMAS- LIKE Government
    will rise and voilá... ANOTHER IRAN will be spawned.

    Islam is the culprit for this situation that drags everyone else to the bottom of an
    aggressive environment.






















  • hellosnackbar
    Political propaganda??so it's wrong to protest or oppose mass murderSolkhar?
    Copt culture is older than Islam;and if I were a Copt I would regard Muslims as moronic murdering parvenus!
    Yes they should make as much trouble as possible;to make sure that the world knows about their victimisation by
    the psychopaths who infest your death cult.
    A Copt revenge mafia might serve notice that Copt passivity is over.
    There is a Copt scholar who broadcasts from somewhere in England(in Arabic of course);giving Egyptiam Muslims
    a great deal of pain.(naturally there is a price upon his head);as he tells the world that Islamic theology is as phony
    as the so called prophet(pus be upon him).
    That he is not accorded free speech in his homeland underwrites the murderous violent underbelly of Islam.

    I wonder why nobody "hunts" muslim twits. I enjoyed messing with them when I lived in the Detroit area. Slapped the snot out of one or two in the parking lot at work too. Fun!

    Tonto, if you really wish to keep your country the way you know and love, you must make sure for those muslims that they are NOT welcomed.

    America's greatness was achieved by open-minded folks, not by islamic-supremacists that have as their ultimate goal to REPLACE America's beloved and admired Constitution with the infamous, hateful and bloody book,
    the QUR' ANUS.

    For the muslims spawned in American soil, I'd give them an ONE-WAY TICKET to out of the country.
    For the muslims trying to infiltrate into American lands, I'd close the doors.
    For the muslims who insists in entering the country, I'd give them HELL.
  • Tonto
    They have learned to keep to themselves. Out in the boonies, they're non-existant. Country boys WILL put them in their place....usually with knuckles and sometimes....the boots. A punk like solkhar, the warlord (as he calls himself elsewhere) would definitely pull in his horns or risk a stompin'.
  • Tonto
    Personally, I like the idea, much more, of piles of dead muslims as a visual aid to other muslims that their reign of terror is over and jihad goes both ways. How do ya like them apples sweetie? Although muz are pretty darn good at killing other muz....I think some figures said that muz kill other muz 8 times more frequently that they kill "other than muz"......I think we western secularists should become more proactive in wiping islam from the planet. Kinda like spraying a nest of cockroaches.....you know what I mean sarsoor? You ragheads (and raghead wannabes)should be bashing their heads on the floor thanking God that they have oil fields they control that holds the western world back from eradicating their sorry asses.
  • Solkhar
    Tonto, I know your trying to provoke me with your racist and bigotted bullshit and it simply does not stick. Those that like to play the arrogant game of we are better than them are thankfully outnumbered in your society and comments like yours will remain on the pathetic fringe. Time and time again your references such as ragheads only shows that your knowledge of anything out of your own sphere of ineptitude is less than zilch and to a degree was and still is partially responsible for the crap this world is in. I find your tough-guy posturing to be pure and utter talk while the rest of the world does the doing and I am sure if you were caught in a parking lot, it would probably be by the local police for solicitation. Can't take 'em apples eh?
  • Tonto
    I don't know dude, I had muz working for me at Ford for years...and I saw the "change" over the years. I had a guy working for me that came over here in 1939. His brother came later, but he worked for me too. Good guys, not the pure assholes that are showing up now. I've had numerous contact with camel jockeys over the years....even been to Haflis and learned to Debki, went to weddings with the arab/Christians, and hunted with muslims. The last 15 years or so the ones coming have changed, and it even bothers the ones that have been here longer. I just can't figure why people put up with the assholes...and why they don't go to stomping their asses.....peckerwoods like you that come here all fakey and shit, just cloud the issue with taquia. That crap we don't need. So buzz your fake ass off.

    Gregg, I agree with 100% of what you've said .

    Urge your family, friends to BOYCOTT Egyptian cotton products and tourism.

    Ask them all to NOT travel and thus not helping the Egyptian economy in any way.

    That's the least we all can possibly do.

    The SAME measures, timid as they may be, we must apply also to TURKEY.

    A Christian Intifada ?

    " When are you cowardly Copts gonna learn to fight? "

    That's exactly what Mubarak's regime is waiting for waging a BLOODY CRACKDOWN against
    the Copts. Just like Saddam did to the Kurds and the Turks to the Armenians.

    The Copts have to FLEE.
    The Western Media don't give a damn about Christians. Their ONLY concern is about the "palestinians"
    that, according to them are " being brutally persecuted by the Zionist regime".

    I just wonder in which situation the word " BRUTAL" better fits.

    Israel needs to do something, unfortunately the piece of paper containing
    the signatures of Menachem Begin and the former wartime Nazi-sympathizer
    Sadat, aka PEACE TREATY between Egypt and Israel wouldn't last more FIVE
    MINUTES should Israel reacts against the persecution of the Copts.

























  • Beejj
    Just imagine, JH: the US Government takes it upon itself to give Egypt billions of dollars of aid, and it will continue to do so even when every last Copt has been murdered by scumbag Muslims. Will Americans do something about this? Do they care?
  • JEWHAWK
    Beejj, the BILLIONS of Dollars that make its way since Uncle Sam's bottomless
    pockets down to the dozen or so SWISS BANK ACCOUNTS with Hosni Mubarak's
    and his relatives's names are exactly the PRICE America is paying for that laughable
    piece of paper called PEACE TREATY, signed by Begin and Sadat under the auspices of Jimmy Carter.

    America BOUGHT this "peace". It simply did not happened for free.

    America should STOP sending CHRISTIAN MONEY to those persecuting Christians, but actually can't do much. It's not politically correct to bully Muslims killing Christians.






  • greg-o
    I wonder, if I was a rich man, and could put some real decent weapons into the hands of those Copts.......would they...could they.....use them?
    Jesus said, if a man strikes you on the one cheek, let him strike you on the other cheek also......
    Does that mean, that if a man kills my child, I have to offer to him another of my children to kill?
    NO!!!
    When are you cowardly Copts gonna learn to fight? So what if you all get killed. Isn't it better to be killed while fighting for your defense than while trudging down the road?
    Those whimpering cowards gotta man-up, and learn how to fight. EVEN TO THE DEATH.
    Stop making Christians look like such weaklings.
