Islamists hit, torch Christian churches
To their modest credit, the Associated Press actually reports the story in its gruesome details. We had a very short version of this yesterday but you might not have clicked through. It's sad, and gory, and serves as a warning to anyone who thinks that "dialog" between the Brüderbünd and the Egyptian army will solve the problem. Those who call for the army to be 'moderate' are really calling for the MB to be given back the keys to power. This article demonstrates the logical outcome of such a move.
Glenn Reynolds at the Instapundit noted yesterday, concerning the media's reporting on Egypt, that "...if they reported accurately, Americans might get angry, and that's not allowed unless it's at Republicans." This article from the AP seems almost straight-up in its reporting. Perhaps someone at AP is waking up? |
CAIRO (AP) -- After torching a Franciscan school, Islamists paraded three nuns on the streets like "prisoners of war" before a Muslim woman offered them refuge. Two other women working at the school were sexually harassed and abused as they fought their way through a mob.
In the four days since security forces cleared two sit-in camps by supporters of Egypt's ousted president, Islamists have attacked dozens of Coptic churches along with homes and businesses owned by the Christian minority. The campaign of intimidation appears to be a warning to Christians outside Cairo to stand down from political activism.
