War of the Religions in Egypt..Christians vs Muslims (Iraq, state, work)

[HappyTexan]

And it looks like the Muslims are winning..but the riots are ongoing.

Hundreds of Christians, Muslims clash in Cairo - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110508/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_egypt_sectarian_clashes - broken link)
"Hundreds of Christians and Muslims are hurling stones at each other in downtown Cairo hours after mobs set fire to a church in violence that killed 12 people and injured more than 200."

This is great! Kinda reminds me of the 14 Century.

It is great, I applaud the noble actions of the Muslims of Egypt. They should cleanse their land of anything that is not Muslim.

Well since nearly all Jews were eradicated in all the Muslim countries, we are so naive not to think Christians were next. Once the Muslim Brotherhood takes hold we will see either a mass annihilation or exodus of Christians. Next will be Lebanon once Hezbollah takes over and then Syria if Assad falls. I'm just waiting to see, once all the Jews/Christians are gone, if the Shiite vs Sunni wars mimic Iraq.

I think they need their own version of C-D for religious warfare on discussion boards instead.

It seems they are beyond words and have taken matters into their own hands now.

Islam is ~600 years younger than Christianity. Christians aren't worried about the fight. We already know how it ends.

I'm more worried about religious zealots here at home, who can't spend a day without their own version of religious warfare.

Islam has always spread by the sword. Of course they're killing others. Why would this surprise anyone?

Interestingly enough, that is how Hindu and Muslim fundamentalists also think of Christianity, one of the "motivational" statements that works for both sides in a religious warfare.
