Muslims massacre Christians under cover of Egyptian riots
They're so resourceful for finding the time to do this... (Hat Tip: CAMERA).News of a massacre of two Christian Coptic families by Islamists just emerged from Upper Egypt with the return of the Internet connections after a week of Internet blackout by the Egyptian regime. The massacre took place on Sunday, January 30 at 3 PM in the village of Sharona near Maghagha, Minya province. Two Islamists groups, aided by the Muslim neighbors, descended on the roof of houses owned by Copts, killing eleven Copts, including children, and seriously injuring four others.If Egypt gets democracy, will the Copts be included?
Anba Agathon, Bishop of Maghagha, told Coptic activist Dr. Mona Roman in a televised interview on Al-Karma TV that the killers are their neighbors, who seized the opportunity of the mayhem prevailing in Egypt and the absence of police protection to slaughter the Copts. He said that he visited today the four injured Copts, who escaped death despite being shot, at Maghagha General Hospital and they told him that they recognized the main attackers as they come from the same village of Sharona. They gave the Bishop details of what happened.
"The two families were staying in their homes with their doors locked when suddenly the Islamists descended on them," said Bishop Agathon, "killing eleven and leaving for dead four other family members. In addition, they looted everything that was in the two Coptic houses, including money, furniture and electrical equipment. They also looted livestock and grain."

Hmmm...more likely the Copts will learn how they say "pogrom" in Egypt.
The best case scenario the Copts could hope for is that they'd have an environment like the Christians in Iraq. Not good is an understatement.
A worse case scenario is that they'd be subject to an environment like the Christians, Jews and Bahais are subjected to in Iran. Even worse case.
Or like Christians are subjected to in the environment in Pakistan. Worst case.
And the West's "progressives" like to call believing, practicing Jews and Christians fascist bigots...and the Muslims "victims" of "Islamophobia". That's reality turned upside down.
