Why? Why should we allow intolerance to be accepted ? Why is it that we hide the truth?
It is not Gpvernment policy alone that influences people . It is the general attitudes of the majority.
That attitude.with heavy control of mdia information allows for stupid stories to replace the truth. Not exposing intolerance usually means that the intolerant will win the conversation .That allows the intolerant to dominate the atmosphere with the hate that they spew out
We need to know why Gaza is Islamic instead of Jewish, we need articles on how why that conversion happened.
And that should be a start for cutting off the legs of the people who make excuses for the hate mongers.
We also need to have storiesabout people who have turned away from a hate philosophyThere are people in Germany who are doing so

Here's a couple of Brief-Thoughts, from the FAR-WEST:

Who ever PLANNED-THIS, can NOT B-A-MUSLIM!
Who ever PLANTED-THIS, can NOT B-AN-EGYPTIAN!!

This has NO-THING 2-DO, with YOUR-RELIGION!!!

It's UP-2-U People, so Make YOUR-DECISION!!!!

Lord Have MERCY.............................

Peace, Love & Respect.

TE removed the comment that Israel is the only place in the ME where Christians are safe!

A recent survey indicated that Christians in Israel are prosperous and well-educated - but some fear that Muslim intimidation will cause a mass escape to the West.

Recently there has been an increase of anti-Christian incidents in the Nazareth area, inspired by the rise of Jihadist forces in the Middle East. Many Christians have complained of being targeted by Muslims, whom they believe are trying to either drive them out of cities that have traditionally had large Christian populations, or to "persuade" them to convert. In 1999, for example, radical Muslims in Nazareth rioted as they attempted to wrest land from a major Christian shrine to build a mosque. In one incident during 2014, a flag of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant was installed in front of a church in Nazareth.

There has also been increasing incitement and violence by the Muslims against Christians who voice their support for the Israel Defense Forces. In a recent case, the son of Father Gabriel Naddaf, a prominent Christian who is regarded as being pro-Israel, was severely beaten. Father Nadaf himself has been suffering from vasts amount of Muslim incitement in recent years.

The Government of Israel has officially shown supports for Christians, due to large conflicts with its Muslim neighbors.

I see that folks understand where Geert is coming from.

Christophobia is real and a direct mortal threat to millions of believers across the globe. The Economist, like all other media outlets, does not understand christophobia, and instead bleats repeatedly about "islamophobia" a made-up academic construct.

When will the Economist learn that from Indonesia to Algeria, Christians are not safe from their muslim intolerant neighbors?

The Coptic Christians have no choice.

1) On one side they have a secular dictatorship that at least guarantees their survival (as a community) albeit as second-class citizens given deep prejudices exhibited by their Islamic fellow-countrymen

2) And on the other side an Islamic government that guarantees their genocide and exile from Egypt

This is not anew to Egypt. The Mubarak regime was doing it. They orchestrated the bombing of The Saints Church in Alexandria in the New Year’s Eve in 2011. El-Sissy is the new ugly face of Mubarak. They'll do anything to create fear and chaos to tighten their grip on power.

This is Islam's contribution to the 21st century. Just like letting macaques into an operating room.

ISIS who probably did this attack realize that they are loosing in Iraq and Syria. This was just a desperate attack.

A tragedy, but I wonder if anyone who follows the situation in Egypt was surprised by any of this.
This atrocity on this scale could have happened more than once this year alone, and I wouldn't have been surprised at any repeat occurrences of sectarian outbreak.
I wonder if any Muslim leader in Egypt or abroad will issue a fatwa against this sort of conduct, but I suppose that will be asking too much of them. If they do issue some sort of limp fatwa, it'll be on the pretense of that "they were asking for it". They'll be expending their energies instead at cafes, spinning conspiracy theories that the Zionists framed this latest bombing, and that Sisi is a secret Christian or agent of the West. The only thing more fecund in a place like Egypt aside from their reproductive virility, are their morbid imaginations.

It can not be said that mosques are different in EGYPT. It is clear that europe and america govern the spring of arab in EGYPT and other arab countries. The current president Abdulfettah el Sisi is one who has been trained in Europe and America. He is agent of them. He was selected at 90 percent but in a election by 40 percent attendance.

If Muslims had true confidence in their faith being the "true faith" why all the repression?

It looks more like a people who know, deep down in their bones, that in a free and open religious environment, they will have to actually defend and promote their faith as a competitor to other faiths, or even to no faith at all.

Do they know that they will lose members? Would it be like the Trabant of faiths? Quickly abandoned for its inadequacies?

Never was it easy to be non Muslim in the Muslim world and today with Islamism flourishing it is more difficult still. This is not only in Egypt but in the whole Muslim/Arab world, however much the media try to make this a problem only for certain Muslim countries.
On the West Bank and Gaza the Christian populations are leaving in droves but the Western churches are still the biggest donors to BDS and their fight to dismantle Israel. Clearly the level of naivity and ignorance of the 'do gooders' is matched only by the mendacity and cunning of this organisation.
