Egyptian Christians mourned their dead and berated the army on Monday after at least 25 people were killed when troops crushed a protest about an attack on a church in the worst violence since the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak.

Armored personnel carriers sped into the crowd late on Sunday to break up the demonstrators near the state television building. Videos posted on the Internet showed mangled bodies. Activists said corpses had been crushed by the vehicles.

Tension between Muslims and minority Coptic Christians has simmered for years but has worsened since the anti-Mubarak revolt, which has allowed the emergence of Salafist and other strict Islamist groups that the former president had repressed.

Obama must favor the Muslims over the Christians.

That happened as well in other countries. Just look at Iran and what it turned into.

Obama seems to love the Arab springs and he shows no love for the Jews either IMO.
I don't see a reelection in his future and his weakness might have killed lots of people around the world.

Yes, the more we meddle, the more innocent life is lost - not exactly God's desire.

It was already happening before they got there. It just wasn't newsworthy as it was Arab on Arab violence. The UN knew about and stated it was an internal matter.

Here's what occurred in 1/2010

Yup. Everything bad that happens in this world is President Obama's fault. Yup.

It's all that socialist/commie/fascist/muslim/jew hating/beer drinking/pot smoking/not born in America usurper's fault (did I leave anything out?).

It has nothing to with their religion , it was a protest that was violently shut down. The country is in transition so violence is to be expected.
