Egypt police disperse Muslims who attacked church | |||||
2005-10-21 | |||||
CAIRO (AFP) - Egyptian police clashed with Muslims after they attacked a church and injured passersby in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, angered over a DVD they consider anti-Muslim. "Nearly 5,000 faithful gathered after Friday prayers as they exited from a mosque in the Moharem Bek area in Alexandria and proceeded towards the Mar (Saint) Girgis church," the interior ministry said.
Police also used batons, witnesses said. There were no immediate details on the injuries or on whether there had been any arrests.
The protests came three days after a man lightly wounded a nun with a knife at the entrance to the same church, and a man who came to her aid was stabbed in the back.

#7 Hey, if you were riding around for centuries on a camel's hump in sand storms so powerful, they can take the stain out of your underpants, and all you have is your honor, and your dagger, then: May the water flow from your goatskin for the sons of ten thousand wives. I think I just realized why they are so nuts. |

#6 Its what happens when you have to the impress the diety with how much you "love" him in order to get into heaven. Killing someone else for insulting that diety then becomes some sort of sick ultimate sacrifice for the "peaceful" man who wants nothing more than peace. Spot on. And do pray that Gawd has a sense of houmor, I've bet my soul on it. |

#5 but dont you see? They are so passionate about their faith and about impressing Allen by how strenously they defend any hint of defamation by hurting and killing others. Its what happens when you have to the impress the diety with how much you "love" him in order to get into heaven. Killing someone else for insulting that diety then becomes some sort of sick ultimate sacrifice for the "peaceful" man who wants nothing more than peace. It goes back as always to the islamic ideal. mo did the same thing over and over. If someone picked on him or his "religion" they would quickly find themselves dead to preserve muslim honor/face. Its a deformed religion to its core because is so damn concerned with what other people think and say about it that violent reactions are common place. A religion with honor and its preservation as its highest ideal is going to get insulted at the drop of a hat all the time and will always have to resort to "strenous" violence in order to purify itself of the stain of insult. Anyone who is obsessed with honor cant deal peacefully with the way that the world is in real life. It cant deal with human nature. It cant deal with liberty. islam is a religion that cant deal with things not going its way or with opposition or open criticism and free speech. It cant play with the big boys. It can only be peaceful when it is in an environment where it gets to make the rules and no one else gets a say like a spoiled and rotten child. If the whole world kisses it ass, then everything is peachy. If not, we die. Some religion. |
