Egyptian Coptic Christians killed in bus attack

#1  Postby Matthew Shute » May 26, 2017 6:23 pm

Gunmen have attacked a bus carrying Coptic Christians in central Egypt, killing at least 28 people and wounding 25 others, officials say.

The bus was travelling to the Monastery of St Samuel the Confessor, 135km (85 miles) south of Cairo, from Minya province when it came under fire.

No group immediately said it was behind the attack.

But Islamic State (IS) militants have targeted Copts several times in recent months, and vowed to do so again.

More...


There were between 8 to 10 gunmen in military uniforms, firing automatic weapons. Both adults and children were massacred.

I wonder which western foreign policy is to blame for this.

Whatever happened to al-kitab (people of the book)? I thought the koran says to live in harmony with jews and christians. Fucking bloodthirsty lunatics. :nono:

Dont wonder

Generalization and oversimplification can lead to inaccurate analysis.

Really is a shit thing, when power tips in Islam's favour its true colours shine bright.
Moderate Islam... Hahaha! The whole thing needs exposing honestly, no "not in my name" bollox accepted, and then burned to the ground.

I'm surprised they didn't spare the "pretty boys", they usually take them as sex slaves.
