Egyptian Army Soldiers Chanting “Allahu Akbar” Attack Ancient Christian Monastery Using Live Ammunition, RPG Rounds…
And as Islamists begin to seize power things will only get worse for Egypt’s large Christian population.
(AINA) — For the second time in as many days, Egyptian armed force stormed the 5th century old St. Bishoy monastery in Wadi el-Natroun, 110 kilometers from Cairo. Live ammunition was fired, wounding two monks and six Coptic monastery workers. Several sources confirmed the army’s use of RPG ammunition. Four people have been arrested including three monks and a Coptic lawyer who was at the monastery investigating yesterday’s army attack.
Monk Aksios Ava Bishoy told activist Nader Shoukry of Freecopts the armed forces stormed the main entrance gate to the monastery in the morning using five tanks, armored vehicles and a bulldozer to demolish the fence built by the monastery last month to protect themselves and the monastery from the lawlessness which prevailed in Egypt during the January 25 Uprising.
“When we tried to address them, the army fired live bullets, wounding Father Feltaows in the leg and Father Barnabas in the abdomen,” said Monk Ava Bishoy. “Six Coptic workers in the monastery were also injured, some with serious injuries to the chest.”
The injured were rushed to the nearby Sadat Hospital, the ones in serious condition were transferred to the Anglo-Egyptian Hospital in Cairo.
Father Hemanot Ava Bishoy said the army fired live ammunition and RPGs continuously for 30 minutes, which hit part of the ancient fence inside the monastery. “The army was shocked to see the monks standing there praying ‘Lord have mercy’ without running away. This is what really upset them,” he said. “As the soldiers were demolishing the gate and the fence they were chanting ‘Allahu Akbar’ and ‘Victory, Victory’.”

““The army was shocked to see the monks standing there praying ‘Lord have mercy’ without running away. This is what really upset them,” he said.”
The Muslims would have been more shocked if the Monks has SAWs and grenades…
PARTY,PARTY,PARTY… CAN’T HEAR YOU WE HAVE TO PARTY!!!!!!!!!
screw egypt, american tax payers need to stop sending money to egypt, unless its going to a christian army, why arnt we invading egypt and liberating these oppressed people? because obama bin laden is in da house
When are we going to actually get TOUGH on the WOT? Time to quit using ground troops and start carpet bombing the shit out of EVERY ISLAMIC shit hole on the face of the planet! This is what its going to take to win this battle!
The ONLY thing islamic trolls understand is FEAR and I say lets let them know that America means business!
carpet bombing with nukes is the way…72,000 ugly ass arab virgins with unibrows here we come!
Obama is gettin’ his groove on while the world burns and islam ups the rate of the slaughter of Christians.
The world has gone insane.
Bring on the next Christian Crusade … please God.
obama has set the world on fire,I hope he burns
I would just love to drop a bunch of nukes in the Middle East right now.
Of course will all the Civil unrest they are to busy to screw with America right now..
Well except for the ones over there..
Of course All we would need to do is bomb a few sand castle and then get the hell out.. but our Misery and Chief is to busy parting and having a good time to bother with this crap besides he set it all up..
That why the big bash… The obamas are proud of what they have achieved in the last two years.. the past two months have been really rewarding.
With all….
If this was some of their hardcore training before attacking Israel maybe they should re-evaluate their tactics. I would imagine that Israel will not be as easy as a monastery full of monks.
@kilmus – “liberating these oppressed people?” – Impossible!! The root cause for all the problems in these Islamic countries IS because of ISLAM. Islam teaches muslim men they can have up to 4 wives at a time (many more if you count their who life). They have as many children as they possibly can, what they are doing is manufacturing future jihadists for Allah. At the same time, their just isn’t enough wealth to go around. The Theocratic Government of Islam is all based on Prophet Worship, this is to say they want their elite, most Islamic Muslims, to be exceedingly wealthy. To them it proves that “Islam is the Truth”. Meanwhile, what little money the majority of muslims have is kept in the family through their marrying their first cousins, which results in genetic defects, mental retardation, lower IQ’s, and ultimately POVERTY. This will continue even with regime change in these muslim countries because whoever gets into power will be just like the Dictators they had. This is the way Islam has worked ever since Mohammad died. Nevertheless, for muslims, the only answer for their suffering is MORE ISLAM. Just like for the Communists, “the answer” is ALWAYS MORE COMMUNISM. Both forms of Government (and Islam is a Theocratic Government) always end up in Dictatorship and wealth being held by a small percentage of the population.
“Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss” – The Who, Won’t get Fooled Again
Well, yes they will get fooled again and again, generation after generation because they murder those who oppose their form of Government. I am not so sure we here in the USA are any better off however… The Union Thugs and Community Organizers want a Revolution here in the USA, they want Socialism and ultimately Communism. It’s a sad, pathetic world we live in.
Wow – those must have been really crack troops – whew – who woulda thunk that they could accomplish their objective in only TWO days of intense fighting! Sonofagun – those unarmed Copts standing there praying were tough to beat….and they made the poor wittle muzzies feel bad while the muzzies were murdering unarmed and defenseless Christians. Doggone insensitive Christians.
C’mon Pope – declare the crusade.
fishy, im saying liberate christians not the scum
kilmus, I am all for that too…
Anyone heard yelling “allahu akbar” should be shot onsight. Why do you think no one does it in the US? Concealed carry.
As we all know, this has NOTHING to do with religion……..
Cough, cough……
spittle, hurl…….
Because monastaries are un-islamic.
Arm the Monks
Here is a video of the actual attack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vCmxQYeVP0&feature=player_detailpage
The heroic Egyptian army: attacking innocent monks in the desert with tanks, live ammunition and RPG rounds.
I think all of these comments are stupid, and a little dangerous. Are you all among us, really?
the army left the monastery after a miracle from God , the head of the army fall of the tank during directing inside the monastery then the tank passed over him & broke his pelvis then they decided to leave in peace!!
YES ISLAM IS PEACE RELIGION
IF YOU NOT SEE THAT YOU AR BLIND OR STUPID
IF ANY BODY WANTS TO JUST THINK THAT TOUCH EGYPT LAND FROM ALL WESTERN ARMIES HE WILL KNOW THE EGYPTION ARMY WELL AS HIS GRNDS KNOE SALADIN
DONOT THINK
PLAY ANOTHER GAME
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
