Hamas plotting attacks on Churches

[shapeup1]

This doesn't come as a surprise...driven by hatred.

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) – The Egyptian intelligence said Wednesday that groups affiliated to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas movement plotted to blow up Coptic churches in the North Sinai district during Christmas celebrations on Jan. 7.

Egypt's al-Watan newspaper reported that Egyptian intelligence intercepted communications between “terrorist groups” in Sinai and activists of the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas.

The Sinai groups, according to the report, were given directives to continue with “what they called Jihad” against Egyptian police and army, according to the report.

They were also told to expect weapons and funds in a few days through smuggling tunnels from the Gaza Strip “via three members of the Hamas military wing,” the newspaper report alleged.

The report highlighted that Egyptian security arrested a member of a “terrorist” group in Sinai and he had ciphered letters from which Egyptian experts learned that explosives and 700,000 Egyptian pounds would be sent to the militant groups in Sinai.

The ciphers, according to al-Watan, instructed the “terrorists” to carry out several attacks against churches simultaneously during Christmas celebrations.

Copts are Christians. One of the most brutal religions in history. A shameful history.

Things have turned around a long time ago. Now many of the Muslims have that dubious honor.

Muslims attack police guarding church as Christians pray inside.

CAIRO - Egyptian Islamists clashed with police Tuesday outside a church in Cairo, security officials said, as Christians held prayers to mark the New Year.

The Islamists, with the Muslim Brotherhood movement, had been marching when they clashed with police standing guard outside the church.

The movement of deposed president Mohamed Morsi was designated a terrorist group last week, furthering a crackdown on the Islamists since Morsi's overthrow in July.

The Islamists have blamed Christians for supporting Morsi's ouster by the military on July 3, following days of massive protests demanding the Islamist's resignation.

Police beefed up security around churches on Tuesday in anticipation of any attacks.

A suicide bomber killed more than 20 people, most of them Coptic Christian worshippers, outside a church as they marked the New Year 2011.

Uneven development. After the Crusades, witch hunts, the Inquisition, the Holocaust, pogroms, religious wars, religions role in colonialism and imperialism, Christians have a lot of nerve being critical of other religions.

Nevertheless, religious people of all stripes continue to put the whole world in danger.

Yet you seem to only criticize one group.


Still haven't see you call out this plot to blow up churches. Is it because:

a) Arabs are beneath your notice?
b) You like churches being destroyed?
c) You can't find a way to blame Israel?
d) The Soviet Union hasn't given you talking points yet?

Ummm..... I hesitate to point this out but the Soviet union disappeared in the 1990s

Arabs have many religions. Islam is just the major one. I have nothing but contempt for Hamas due to their religious fanaticism.

Nobody likes churches being destroyed but as an athiest my concern is for people not buildings

Why would I blame Israel. They don't cause ALL of the problems in the ME.

He's likely a Muslim then. Maybe an Arab.

But what about Copts specifically? One would think that you wouldn't be into "collective guilt" especially when it is an invalid concept.

Hmm, apparently your Sunday School teacher should (or past tense) hang their head in shame, unfortunately this is not that uncommon.

You actually believe that only Arabs or Muslims support the Palistinian cause? Pathetic. Thousand of Jews support the cause. My father was Jewish athiest RIP but I was raised United church by mother.

And your dogma is stuck in the 1930's.

Arabs have many religions. Islam is just the major one. I have nothing but contempt for Hamas due to their religious fanaticism.

The why have you constantly avoided how the 'fanaticism of Hamas is a major stumbling block to peace in the region? And is it really fanaticism when they represent a mainstream view?

Why would I blame Israel. They don't cause ALL of the problems in the ME.

Your posts are stating to worry me. Have you seen a doctor lately?

I do. He portrays the typical elitism and racist attitudes of Victorian era WASPs even if he has fun playing the socialist protector of the downtrodden masses.

I think you're the pathetic one here, at no time I said a word of the palestinians or jews. You're going nuts you should chill out and stop obsessing.
