Christians and Jews – More than brothers in faith

Egyptian Christians see 45 church buildings attacked in one night.

“Minya's streets are now lined with burned-out hulks. Church interiors have been reduced to ash. The once-cheerful turquoise exterior of a Christian orphanage is now streaked black from the fire that gutted it. Destroyed wheelchairs sit outside a burned-out Jesuit center that worked with disabled people. Torched schools, shops, and monasteries lie in ruins. On one street, several Christian-owned shops are reduced to scorched rubble. Nearby, an untouched snack shop blares a song that proclaims ‘Egypt is Islamic’."

(Snip)

"They will always try to burn churches, whether in power or not. But in power, they increased the discrimination and the humiliation of Christians. You can't go worse than the Islamists." -- Church member Magdy Shafiq Saad

(Well, the Christians just shouldn’t be where they’re not wanted. It’s not like Egypt was ever Christian. It’s always been majority Muslim. Right?)
