| Egyptian Muslims serve as human shields for Coptic Christmas Mass |
| 2011-01-16 |
 Egypt's Muslims stuck to their word on Thursday night. Thousands of Muslims showed up at Coptic Christmas eve services in churches throughout the country and at candlelight vigils outside them."We either live together, or we die together," proclaimed Mohamed El-Sawy, a Muslim arts tycoon whose cultural center distributed flyers at churches in Cairo Thursday night and who is credited with first proposing the "human shield" idea. |

| #7 you are all right even though it is seemingly contradictory 1) the human shields are showing the ONLY antidote to Islamism: a moderate, more tolerant version of Islam. They have to enforce this on their own people and clean out the bad guys in the same way that moderate, tolerant Americans cleared out the KKK back in the day. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are examples of what happens if the Islamic KKK get the upper hand. 2) Yes the Islamists have no hesitation in killing their fellow muslims. They killed one in the original Christmas bombings case in point. Kill them all and let Allah sort them out. The good muslim will go to paradise so no point worrying about him anyway is the rationale. Unfortunately human shields are pacifist and carry candles instead of guns we need the MMs (what few there are) to step up to the plate and become enforcers. with guns. |

| #5 The human shield WILL work - if there are enough people in it, and they are armed, and willing and able to kill attackers. Futile as it is, this token shield is proof that there actually ARE decent Muslims - which one would not know from general news reports. |

| #4 I thought my point was obvious Actually, not at all. Posts #2 and #5 appear to be in direct contradiction of each other. |

| #3 Uh...because Islamic terrorists have been reluctant to kill fellow Muslims? I thought my point was obvious, and nothing I can do will make it clearer. It is obvious to all that Jihadis will kill anyone, and other muslims are usually the closest targets for Jihad rage. |

| #1 That 'human shield' approach is one of the few that might actually work. Good for them. |
