Egyptian mosque turned into house of torture for Christians after Muslim Brotherhood protest
2013-03-28
[FOXNEWS] Islamic hard-liners stormed a mosque in suburban Cairo, turning it into torture chamber for Christians who had been demonstrating against the ruling Moslem Brüderbund in the latest case of violent persecution that experts fear will only get worse.

Such stories have become increasingly common as tensions between Egypt's Mohammedans and Copts mount, but in the latest case, mosque officials corroborated much of the account and even filed a police report. Demonstrators, some of whom were Mohammedan, say they were taken from the Moslem Brüderbund headquarters in suburban Cairo to a nearby mosque on Friday and tortured for hours by hard-line militia members.

"They accompanied me to one of the mosques in the area and I discovered the mosque was being used to imprison demonstrators and torture them," Amir Ayad, a Coptic who has been a vocal protester against the regime, told MidEast Christian News from a hospital bed.

#7  I guess you have to understand that under hardcore Islam - the torture, rapes, and murder of infidels is considered high-worship of their god.

The Mosque just regrets that a few Muslims got caught in with the Infidels...

#6  Lying low AND arming myself AND sending the family abroad: these are not mutually exclusive.

I sometimes wonder if the Copts should try and concentrate themselves into a relatively small geographical area, a little out of the way, where they would be the majority. Then they declare independence, arm themselves to the teeth, and make sure that anyone who messes with them comes in second.

There's a precedent for this in the region.

But perhaps I'm just dreaming...

#2  This time I got "Bubba Spawn of the Hemps".

Damn that name generator is good. Too bad I don't have any more kids to name ;^)

Now, my point about the article is how much of this is being pointed out to Zero and does he care? Will he say anything to the MB about this?

Who am I kidding?
