Egypt: Mob of 3,000 Muslims Led By Salafists Attack Christian Homes And Shops…

Just another day in post-Arab Spring Egypt.

(AINA) — A mob of over 3000 Muslims attacked Copts in the village of Kobry-el-Sharbat (el-Ameriya), Alexandria this afternoon. Coptic homes and shops were looted before being set ablaze. Two Copts and a Muslim were injured. The violence started after a rumor was spread that a Coptic man had an allegedly intimate photo of a Muslim woman on his mobile phone. The Coptic man, Mourad Samy Guirgis, surrendered to the police this morning morning for his protection.

According to eyewitnesses, the perpetrators were bearded men in white gowns. “They were Salafists, and some of were from the Muslim Brotherhood,” according to one witness. It was reported that terrorized women and children who lost their homes were in the streets without any place to go.

According to Father Boktor Nashed from St. George’s Church in el-Nahdah, a meeting between Muslim and Christian representatives was supposed to take place in the evening in Kobry-el-Sharbat. But, by 3 P.M. a Muslim mob looted and torched the home of Mourad Samy Guirgis, as well as the home of his family and three homes of Coptic neighbors. A number of Coptic-owned shops and businesses were also looted and torched. “We contacted security forces, but they arrived very, very late,” Said Father Nashad. The fire brigade was prevented from going into the village by the Muslims and the fires were left to burn themselves out. “Those who lost their home, left the village,” said Father Nashed.

    Coming soon to a town in the good old politically correct USA. We need to kick the muslims out of the USA and grant citizenship to the copts.

    Diplomatic “smart power” in action. Brought to you by the BO-Hill brain trust.

    Prayers for the Copts. They need every one of them.

    This isn’t a mob.

    This is war. If this report is accurate about 3,000 Moslems attacking the town. . . 3,000 isn’t a mob, it’s an army.

    Start calling this what it actually is—war.

    @ Rhinestone

    And I am beginning to wonder if this war isn’t directed at the Saudi’s with the Copts as a sideshow.

    You Saudi’s do what we want or we, the One World Cabal (who own barry and the US Military, it seems) will not defend you against the “Arab Spring.” We can begin with you Saudi’s contributing to the Euro Monetary Crisis……..

    I’m not sure if this is a mob anymore, this is an outright attack, this is a war at this point in that country.

    Its just circling the drain, Egypt relies a lot on tourism, who in their right minds will go to that country, we know those 3 iranian hiker idiots will, but other than that, who else?

    This is will not end well at all… WWIII, who knows? the foundation may be starting to be getting set right now.

    Can you imagine what an uproar the UN would be in if the Jews had done this to the so called pali’s. These are Christians who are infidels and kinfolk of the Jews. The muslime usurper in the WH will have another party tonight to celebrate this latest action by his beloved brothers. There is going to be a very heavy war between the Jews and these assholes, they will need allahs help for sure.

    A democrat president backs an extremist muslim revolution in a large country in the Middle East and now that country is taking American hostages and purging other religions. Where have we seen this before? Surely we wouldn’t be so stupid as to repeat a mistake made in the 70s?

    Absolutely! Kick them out of Detroit to start and repopulate with the Copts! Great idea!

    I agree with wildman and rocketman, America is on this same path of destruction, same thing happened in Bosnia and is still happening there! You can thank the intellectual elites in power (intellectual is ironic in light of this) for this!

    This feels like Kristallnacht all over again. Remember the words of Reinhold Niebuhr. The longer we do nothing, the worse it gets.

  14. ziontruth says:
    January 28, 2012 at 2:01 pm

    What saith the United Nations? Apparently, the same things its predecessor, the League of Nations, said after Kristalnacht—nothing at all. Whatever tears they have, they devote to the mourning of North Korean cadavers.

    Who would take the U.N. seriously but that he were either terminally deranged or on their side?

    I heard an interview with Newt last night on Greta Van Sustrern’s show.
    He used the term, “hurricane” to describe what is going on in Egypt.

    The effects of Obama calling for the removal of Mubarak have just begun.
    We are looking at changes no one could have predicted (except us, here).

    The world has changed, all for the bad.

    It’s funny that the security forces came very,very,very late to save the homes and shops—thank G-D our fearless leaders were all about the Arab Spring — don’t anyone ever say that this MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD lover OBAMA IS A CHRISTIAN—NEITHER ARE THE REST OF THE OTHER PIGS, BIDEN,PELOSI,REID AND THE REST OF THE EVIL EMPIRE!!! They love the fact that CHRISTIANS ARE BEING TARGETED —THEY THINK THE ONLY WAY IT WOULD BE BETTER, IS THAT THEY WOULD BE JEWS!!!

    The Obama regime picks new world “leaders” the same way
    he picks companies to give gov’t backed loans to with OUR
    money. Please, we MUST un-ass this fraudster and possibly
    presecute him to the fullest extent of the law. I’ll be happy
    just to see the last of this jerk and his crew.

    They’ve been emboldened with no one to hold them accountable. Now does everyone understand how the Crusades got started? The very first push back against Muslims that doesn’t get much attention was with the Battle of Tours in 736. It took 110 years after Mohammed’s death of the marching Muslim Moors and the Caliphate conquering the ME and Northern Africa working their way into Europe all the way to France.

    You want to piss off a Muslim? Remind them, the educated ones, of Martellus, or as he was known The Hammer, Charles of Herstal. He was the grandfather of Charlemagne.

    It would be 400 more years of Muslim conquering and enslavement though before the Europeans started to fight back again and the push back Crusades began in earnest. The injustice of how history as been rewritten and bastardized to paint Christendom as the imperialists is wrong. Islam was born in war and Islam grew the same way. I wonder if France will have a Hammer to save their cheese eating, surrendering asses this time.

    Almost every day, Islamists kill and destroy other people and their property. Every day, the media yawns then claims islamophobia when a Muslim passes by the smell of a pork sandwich.

    Piss on them!

    @Debbie:

    You pack a lot into one sentence. Or maybe 2. Your frustration was right there at the surface about the matter.

    Having a mob of 12 or less would be plenty. To think of 3,000 rampaging a village, and like you say, over here it’s the dreaminess-agenda. How do they (the Copts) manage to make any sense of normalcy?

    Why doesn’t this Admin. speak up? Why doesn’t George Clooney get up fired up about it, like Darfur? Then we see how complicit this Admin. is about the OWS, the rats, etc. And it makes a person shudder. Just how many steps from being like the Copts will it be?

    p.s. I realize it’s more than a few times I come on here just to make a few comments to see people’s reactions. So, admittedly, that is my selfishness operating. However, it must be a way of releasing the angst that builds from reading all this craziness that goes on, day after day after day. Not just once-in-a-while. But everyday it’s a load of it. Like Biden praising ‘Bama, etc.

    Rambling here.

    I guess i just realized what a cold,cruel,selfish ass Obama truly is.
    And if he gets re-elected how are we going to survive his horror show another 4 years ?

    Sometimes rambling is a good way to blow off frustration.

    Sorry about the poor grammatical skills at times,I specialize in; i’m-in-a-hurry-but-have-10-ideas-run-on-sentences.

    No, sb, I think the Saudis approve of their co-religionists, attacking Copts, and all other Christians, as well as Jews. If there is some one world cabal out there, I suspect the Saudis are firmly ensconced in it. And if this cabal supports Islamic fundamentalism—well, I think they’re in for a shock, when Islam turns on them.
