I'm sure you "fair minded" liberals find this outrageous!

I'm not saying it's right, but that's just what some of them do.

Also, I'm not sure what you want liberals to do about the situation?

As long as it's those dastardly Christians being attacked, they won't care.

Well, I guess it's a good thing you don't live in Egypt.

Relax.

They're their own country.

You don't live there.

I remember something like that from high school many years ago - religious freedom for a price. It's not something that we would do in our country, but hey, it's theirs not ours and it is better than slitting their throats.

All those ousted "dicatators" at least kept enough peace going so that multiple religions co-existed over there without bloodshed and veiled threats.

But we had to get rid of them, directly or indirectly and now that they are gone things have only gotten worse in all countries left in our wake.

It's like we're aiming for chaos and instability within these countries on purpose.

Progressives are big on who was there firsts... The Christians were there long before the Muslims, and the Jews before everyone else. Let's not forget who the new kids on the block are. They are also to blame for 99.99999% of the terrorism going on in the world.
