Christians Under Attack

I am so sorry about what's happening in Alexandria and elsewhere, that the Muslims are again attacking the Christians and burning churches. They did this in France last fall. Many churches were burned. It's a worldwide tactic that they are pulling everywhere they riot. The pick something to riot over (i.e. the cartoons) and then using that as the excuse, they allow their 'freedom of expression' to carry on way past the alleged issue to starting to destroy the churches of other religions. They are doing this deliberately but not JUST TO EGYPT. It has happened but to a lesser degree in France, Denmark and I expect it will continue wherever the authorities don't take a very hard line with them. Zero tolerance for their B.S. and no putting onto the Christians as in 'well they rioted too'. The Christians were defending themselves! Nobody is blind or fell off the turnip truck yesterday. This is Muslim on everybody else violence. Not Muslim AND Christian violence. Anything the Christians have done they've done to defend themselves and the Copts are the rightful original Egyptians anyway. The Arabs who are the ones doing the rioting, were newcomes, relatively speaking.

I've posted at Big Pharoah and Sandmonkey and I suggest you drop by their blogs. I suggest a big rally be formed of all people, regardless of their faith, against VIOLENCE. Not against faith but against VIOLENCE. And because a group of worshippers leaving their place of worship defends themselves against attack DOES NOT MAKE THEM PART OF THE ATTACK. The fanatics are giving everyone in Islam a bad name and before it gets to where Islam has such a black eye you don't want to admit you're Muslim anymore because these few fanatics (few million) are ruining it for everyone in Islam, there needs to be a united statement that EVERYONE, MUSLIMS INCLUDED, REJECT VIOLENCE. If not, the way this will end is around the world Islam will cause people to wince. Say you're Muslim and though no one will say it to your face, they'll end up avoiding you. Muslims like yourself need to email each other and start a blog somewhere where those who agree that the fanatics are going too far, can weigh in with their comments. During Katrina/Rita last fall in North America, that's what the bloggers did to get in contact with each other and arrange to send supplies and blankets to the victims. We went to the most popular blogs which then directed us to a central blog which someone set up for comments and offers of goods to be made. Once there was a central blog it acted as a clearing house for other plans. A huge rally in Egypt of regular citizens of all faiths who are angry at the violence could be formed and a day picked and banners made to carry. Don't let the imams or 'The Big Brothers' get involved and take over. Just make the issue the 'violence'. That way EVERYONE can identify and agree they don't want anymore violence. Make it plain, too, that does not mean submitting to the violence to stop it. That means if there's anymore...it will be met and those instigating this form of sectarian violence will be dealt with extremely harshly as a deterrent!

WHY? WHY? WHY? Seen the images and watching the videos... Im appauled... can not describe the "hate" for people in General... how can they be so stupid and reckless... and despite all that, who, gives them the right to react in such a manner. To go ad butcher innocent elderly people. We are christians, YES.. have all that happen to us... No... do we degrade ourselves to their level... Thinking about it... Its religion for crying out loud... Leave one another alone, if i pray at church on a sunday, or at my house.. Dont kill me for it.. if you go and pray on a friday, I'm not gonna kill you for it... Great Examples they are to their children or anyone younger than they are.. huh... May God not forgive them, But Take them.
