(AINA) -- For the second time in as many days, Egyptian armed force stormed the 5th century old St. Bishoy monastery in Wadi el-Natroun, 110 kilometers from Cairo. Live ammunition was fired, wounding two monks and six Coptic monastery workers. Several sources confirmed the army's use of RPG ammunition. Four people have been arrested including three monks and a Coptic lawyer who was at the monastery investigating yesterday's army attack.
Did you expect anything less from Islam in Egypt at large? No good dead ever goes unpunished.
Of course some here think what we saw with the overthrow of Mubarak was "democracy in acton".........

Fools!
Did you read this paragraph...amazing.
"Father Hemanot Ava Bishoy said the army fired live ammunition and RPGs continuously for 30 minutes, which hit part of the ancient fence inside the monastery. "The army was shocked to see the monks standing there praying 'Lord have mercy' without running away. This is what really upset them," he said. "As the soldiers were demolishing the gate and the fence they were chanting 'Allahu Akbar' and 'Victory, Victory'."
How many here are surprised? I mean, really. Did any expect that Egypt wouldn't tilt towards this kind of thing? Did anyone here really think that "democracy" would be the outcome?

Not surprising at all. The army is now using batons and tasers (besides firing in the air) the protesters in Cairo:
