Muslim Mobs Burn Egyptian Churches Killing 12, Injuring Hundreds

CAIRO (AP) — Muslim mobs set two Cairo churches on fire overnight during sectarian clashes that left 12 dead and more than 200 injured. The deepening religious violence in military-ruled Egypt exacerbated an already chaotic and lawless transition to democracy.

Mobs of ultraconservative Muslims attacked the St. Menas church in the Cairo slum of Imbaba late Saturday following rumors that a Christian woman married to a Muslim man had been abducted. Local residents said a separate mob of youths armed with knives and machetes attacked the Virgin Mary church several blocks away with firebombs.

“People were scared to come near them,” said local resident Adel Mohammed, 29, who lives near the Virgin Mary Church. “They looked scary. They threw their firebombs at the church and set parts of it ablaze.”

Islamic clerics denounced the violence, sounding alarm bells at the escalating tension during the transitional period.

“These events do not benefit either Muslim or Copts,” Ahmed al-Tayyeb, the Sheik of al-Azhar, told the daily Al-Ahram.

Interfaith relationships are taboo in Egypt, where the Muslim majority and sizable Christian minority are both largely conservative. Such relationships are often the source of deadly clashes between the faiths.

During Egypt’s 18-day uprising that ousted former President Hosni Mubarak several months ago, there was a rare spirit of brotherhood between Muslims and Christians. Each group protected the other during prayer sessions in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, the epicenter of the revolution.

But in the months that followed the toppling of Mubarak on Feb. 11, there has been a sharp rise in sectarian tensions, fueled in part by newly active ultraconservative Muslim movement, known as the Salafis.

The once quiescent Salafis have become more assertive post-revolution in trying to spread their ultraconservative version of an Islamic way of life. In particular, they have focused their wrath on Egypt’s Christians, who make up 10 percent of the country’s 80 million people.

On Friday, a few hundred Salafis marched through Cairo celebrating al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and condemning the U.S. operation that killed him.

Critics say Egyptian military authorities have done too little to stem the religious violence. But authorities arrested 190 people, immediately, sending them to military prosecutions and threatening the maximum penalty against anyone attacking houses of worship. It was the military’s toughest response yet to a series of violent clashes between the two religious groups.

Egypt’s state news agency said of those killed, at least six Muslims and at least three Christians were among those killed. The body of one Christian was found inside the St. Menas church, the agency said. The Health Ministry said 12 had died and more than 230 were injured, at least 11 of them critically.

The clashes were set off Saturday around sundown when word spread around the low-income neighborhood of Imbaba that a Christian woman who married a Muslim was abducted and is being kept in the church against her will.

The report, which was never confirmed by local religious figures, sent a large mob of Muslims toward the St. Menas church. Christians created a human barricade around the church and clashes erupted. Gunfire sounded across the neighborhood, and witnesses said people on rooftops nearby were firing into the crowd.

Muslims alleged the Christians opened fire first. Then crowds of hundreds of Muslims from the neighborhood, in many parts instigated by the local ultraconservative Salafi sheiks, converged on the area. They lobbed firebombs at homes and shops and also at St. Menas church, setting its facade on fire.

Residents say Christians were hiding inside. Muslims were chanting: “With our blood and soul, we defend you Islam.”

The army and police tried to break up the crowd by firing tear gas, but failed to clear the streets. Troops surrounded the church after the fire was put out.

Later the same night, witnesses said a separate Muslim mob, mostly youths armed with machetes and knives, moved to the Virgin Mary church nearby and also set it on fire.

The mob then dispersed to side streets, and local residents, including the neighborhood’s Muslims, tried to put out the fire. At one point, they attempted to get into the closed mosque opposite the church to get water. But the youthful mob armed with knives blocked Mohammed and others in his group.

“They told us keep the mosque out of it,” said Mohammed, who lives near the church. “They were thugs. The way they talk, they have no religious or political views.”

He said the firefighters and security arrived on the scene more than an hour later.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, angry residents stormed a six-story building near the St. Menas, saying Christians used it to shoot at Muslims.

“They were shooting from the roof, and they killed Muslims,” said 18-year old Yehia Ramadan. “We won’t stand by idle.”

Flames were coming out of windows, and furniture were strewn along the sidewalks. The building appeared to be empty, but it was not clear when its residents fled.

The new tensions erupted after a year of Salafi protests against the alleged abduction by the Coptic Church of a priest’s wife, Camilla Shehata. The Salafis claim, she converted to Islam to escape an unhappy marriage — a phenomenon they maintain is common.

If a Christian woman marries a Muslim, she is expelled from the church. A Muslim woman is not allowed to marry a Christian man, according to state law. Because divorce is banned under the Coptic Church, with rare exceptions, some Christian women resort to conversion to Islam or another Christian denomination to get out of a marriage.

Salafis have used the case of Shehata as a rallying point for their supporters and they accuse the police of collaborating with the church to reconvert her.

Her case was even used by Iraq’s branch of al-Qaida as a justification for an attack on a Baghdad church that killed 68 people and other threats by the group against Christians.

On Saturday just before the violence erupted in Imbaba, Shehata appeared with her husband and child on a Christian TV station broadcast from outside of Egypt and asserted that she was still a Christian and had never converted.

“Let the protesters leave the Church alone and turn their attention to Egypt’s future,” she said from an undisclosed location.

Copts complain of widespread discrimination that they say relegates them to second-class citizen status, including tight strictures on building or repairing churches that do not exist for Muslim places of worship.

In the deadliest violence since Mubarak’s ouster, 13 were killed in pitched street battles in March after Muslims torched a church. That violence was also triggered by rumors of a love affair between a Muslim woman and a Christian man.

A New Year’s Eve suicide bombing outside a Coptic church in the port city of Alexandria killed 21 people, setting off days of protests. Egypt made some arrests but never charged anyone with the attack.

Sameh Fawzi, a Coptic scholar, said the new trend of attacks on churches and heightened tension between ultraconservative Muslims and Copts are taking place in the context of a weakened state and increasingly assertive Salafis.

The military rulers’ attempts to hold reconciliation sessions, instead of prosecuting those involved, only serves to reinforce the impression of the state’s weakness, he said.

“What needs to happen and quickly is that the state implements the law,” he said. “This is a crime of thuggery and it should be treated as such.”

      Mark, I agree that simple democracy equates majority dominance with no guarateed protections for the mionority, but mob rule is something else. Mob rule happens when even the majority don’t care about reasoning things out but rather rules from their emotions. And it is a typically Muslin feature to rule from rage.

      I’m a selectman up in Maine in a very small town. It’s pure democracy. Majority rules and all that. But we don’t go around burning down buildings of minorites. We aren’t savages.

You have a representative democracy. If all citizens of voting eligibility can vote on every issue facing the town, THEN you have a democracy. And then you have what is essentially also mob rule.

    12 dead is just the beginning. Spontaneous democratic revolutions that degrade into the murder, mayhem, rape and pedophilia of an islami-facist theocracy aren’t exactly the stalwarts of religous tolerance. You haven’t seen anything yet. Thousands are to die and Coptic Christians are only the first. What will obama say then? Will he rush to the aid of civilians systematically being slaughtered when they are just Christians? Will he demand that Christians not be put to death for proselytizing? Will he demand that rape victims not be stoned to death for reporting the rape? Will he demand that gays not be hanged? Islam is a cult of murder, mayhem, rape and pedophilia and in every islama-facist country today, the people might just as well strap a bomb to their chests and get it over with because they have no peace to look forward to in this world.

      I have been to Egypt MANY times. This is not the Egypt I have seen over and over. This is a small group of opportunists who are pushing the envelope to get what they want. Don’t judge the whole country by the actions of a few- especially when recent history has shown so many Egyptians standing together to protect and respect Copts and Muslims.

      Remember that the American Revolution wasn’t a movement of the majority. It was a small group of “thugs.” Fortune favors the bold and in this case, it’s the extremists. That is something we should pay more attention to as the small number of extremists here are certainly bold.

    “The Muslim Brotherhood is emerging as a power broker in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and Libya. Meanwhile, the “democracy” movement in Syria seems likely to end with President Bashar al-Assad gaining a tighter grip on power, after he‘s killed enough of his own people to remind them why he’s their president.
    All of these countries are becoming worse than they were before.” http://www.anncoulter.com
    This is why people wanted Mubarek to stay in, even though he was weird. At least he “kept the peace” better and was for the peace w/Israel. It was predictable this would happen. The Musliim Brotherhood is the real danger now, as the son of Hamas once said (after converting to Christianity). He thinks it’ll spread and they will finally get united and have their caliphate. Just pure “deomcracy” is not good – the Founding Fathers said it was “mob rule” and that’s why they came up with the Republic part & all kinds of checks and balances. What do you think the majority in these Islamic nations would want? Yes – a country run by Sharia Law, and the goal of world takeover and destruction of Israel. Not good.

I am intolerant of thieves. Your use of the word ‘intolerance’ in this context is absurd. This isn’t intolerance: It’s naked violence. It’s coercion. It’s oppression of a minority by the majority(Dare I say: Democracy)

      This word ‘intolerance’ is bandied about as though it has some distinct moral meaning, just like the word ‘extreme.’ I like extremely honest people. I like extremely industrious people.

      Wait a minute. We should expect, we should DEMAND that Muslims behave respectfully of our Western values. But if we treat them all as guilty as the violent ones, before they even do anything, just because they ARE Muslim, then we aren’t giving them a chance to behave decently.

      Islam is by its nature a violent religion, but that doesn’t mean that all Muslims HAVE to be violent. They have a choice, but we have to offer that choice to them. If we tell them that they will be treated as threats no matter what they do just because of their faith we really do encourage them to become radicalized.

    Christians had better realize they are under attack, globally, by radical Islam, and by the forces of statism. I’m an atheist, but I have found I can peacably co-exist with Christians and Jews. This is not true of radical statists or Islamonuts. We’re discovering that here at home, too, aren’t we?

    That being said, Christian had better realize that the notion of ‘the meek inherit the Earth’ didn’t mean you should allow yourself to be run over. It meant, in context, that those who were meek before God were to inherit the Earth, meaning: His faithful and obedient servants.

    It was not meant to suggest to lie down and take it. Even if I don’t share your beliefs, I wish you would be somewhat more willing to adhere shamelessly to your beliefs. The Islamonuts and Statists will run us over otherwise.

      The problem is there are two types of atheists. One is common, and usually leftist: They adopted atheism as an escape from morality, having confused religion with the notion of ‘all morality.’ On the other hand, there are atheists like me who realized they were born atheists, and were never convinced of a belief in supernatural powers, not because they wished to avoid morality, but because they were on an honest search to define what is moral. That’s me. What I’ve discovered, long ago, is that I have much in common with Christians and Jews who wish for peace, but who know that sometimes peace must be MADE. Trust me, most of my friends adhere to some brand of Christianity or Judaism, and some of the people I hold in greatest disdain are self-described atheists, alway of the first type I described above. Good to know you.

      @FalconofStorms:
      Thank you! You’re exceptionally kind. I am a ‘different kind of atheist.’ There are few like me. Those like me did not seek out atheism in order to hide from moral failings. We do not believe morality irrelevant, and in fact accept that all men must adopt some moral standard if only for the sake of survival. Many of those atheists with whom you’re familiar, and Dawkins is a perfect example, frankly, are atheists because the religiously-based moral standards with which they were acquainted offered condemnation of them in some respect. Men hate to live as hypocrites, so instead, they will shed whatever moral standard d*mns them as such.

      A list of minor examples would include the Catholic woman who practices birth control, so flees catholicism because she can’t square the two. Or the homosexual who flees christianity because he cannot square the two. Or the unrepentent thief and liar who proclaims his atheism in order to say he need not be honest, and bears no guilt for his acts of theft. Adulterers frequently abandon religion.

      All of them ignore that removing religion doesn’t remove the question of morality. I believe in an objective standard of morality. I believe man must live as man. He cannot live as goat or frog, and his moral standard must serve the life of man, as man.

      Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I hope to see you around!

      @ mark good post
      @ Flcon i agree with you except for the Darwin part. Darwin admitted that he had a difficult time with religion as do i. he also attributed his theory and the grandness of it to God because of it’s perfection in allowing for adaptation. remember it was the marxist(progressives/fabians) who took his work/words out of context. they are notorious for this and then Darwin gets a bad rap.

      i don’t know of an individual who has been around for a while and has faced some of the more unpleasant parts of life who (if honest) has’nt questioned thier oun faith.

Christians are not allowed to evangelize Muslims but the same is not true in reverse. A Muslim man who converts to Christianity can prosecuted. It is a crime to defame Islam, a crime that is VERY loosely defined. But it is no crime to defame Christianity.

      @ non sequitur, your line of reasoning just does not follow any correct understanding of history. Why, Egypt after the pharoahs and the Greek Ptolemeis and the Roman Classicists was largely a Christian nation (ask Hypatia) until the advent of Islam. Thereafter the Christians and Pagans have been slowly yet effectively exterminated. The destruction of the Ottoman Empire may have forestalled this inevitable result of endeavoring to coexist with Islam but unless the West prevails the Copt will be annihilated. There is no doubt. Taqquiya, jizya, submit or die.

      And yes, if we chose to allow either side to take away the Republic from us, then we will become such as is now emerging in the middle east – a communist, a socialist or a theocracy of some type will arise to take the vacuumed space where we once had freedom.

It seems like any time people rise up to bring down the government those people are heroes, praised, and are apart of Democracy in the works. But once taken over and riots with killing begin against Christians or Jews they automatically become conservative extremists. Makes sense doesn’t it? Even the Libyan government was considered conservative by the woman who was raped by the soldiers, and the progressive press ate that right up.

The only way to resolve this war that has been ongoing since the seventh century ( yes, it is a goldurned perpetual and neverending war) is the total destruction of Islam. It is no longer Carthago delenda est. It is Islam that must be destroyed. We have no choice. We will be fighting them a thousand years from now if we do not destroy them now. The West has been fighting them for 1400 years already. Read your history. Read about the invasion of Christian Spain and France. The slave raids into Italy and England and Ireland. The conquest of Greece and Macedonia and the Balkans and the invasion of Austria. The slave traders in Sub Saharan Africa. More black slaves went to the markets in the Islamic world than went to the Americas and Western Europe. (That is why I have to laugh at the folk who give up their Western slave names to proudly take up their Arabic slave names. What sad, misguided, ignorant, racist fools.) As the power of the West, by our own hands, recedes the ascendancy of Islam is assured. Taqquiya, jizya, Islam. Submit or die. Those are our choices. When the emasculated leaders of Western Europe finally say that multi cultural diversity has failed who do you think they are talking about? The Mayans? The Amish?

Hezbollah and Hamas have one goal, war with Israel…Hezbollah and Hamas work together for that common goal…So if Iran sent in a few thousand operatives or paid several thousand to organize to start uprisings in those USA backed Sunni countries, Muslim Brootherhood would rise up and gain power…A stronger MB means a wronged partner to bring Israel down…

      Also recall Iran was our little puppet until the Shaw was thrown out by radicals, those in power now….They are doing the same thing within Sunni countries….

      Those USA backed Sunni countries would never attack Israel for they would loose USA support….

      @ Okie from: Iran is but one of our numerous enemies. Look at which nations are to the east and west of Iran and you will see the strategy involved in this part of the world. It is Iran which is supplying the money and munitions to the numerous proxies fighting the war it declared against the West in 1979. The lies and propaganda of the Progs have made it impossible to successfully prosecute a war in the last 60 years. They are destroying the will of the American people to fight. That is their intent. PC be damned. Along with the torpedoes; full speed ahead. Lakes of glass before Iran has the weapon it so hungrily desires to use against us..

      CatB -

      Glad to have found another Huguenot ancestor as with Captain Crunch here on the Blaze. To be a part of a heritage of people that sacrificed thousands upon thousands so that they could live freely for what they believed in is prime example of why America needs to survive the coming days. The Huguenots had to flee their homelands to America in order to practice their religion, in America we have no where to flee as this is the last stand. If we are all willing to sacrifice in defense of what we believe in just as our ancestors have done then without a doubt the Constitution will survive and America will thrive.

      Afghanistan and Pakistan to the East are influenced by Iran, of course…I do not believe Pakistan is controlled by Iran but influence is there…Pakistan is more worried with India and playing the US for $’s…Afghanistan will be taken by Iran once we leave….

      Iraq to the West has been the battle ground of the Iran/American war….Saddam declared this to Syria while behind US prison bars in the NY times….

      We removed Saddam, the one strong man against Iran, to create another USA dictator, not put in place by the US per say, but bought and influenced by the US, thus the reason 95% of Congress approved the war….The Taliban was chased out of town by the US right into Nuclear Pakistan..The US set up another puppet dictator..Once we leave, Iran will take over both or influence so much you won’t be able to distinguish them apart…

      Turkey is partnering up with Iran…Iraqi’s have met with Iran as has Afghanistan….So Iran has this block secured for our departure….

      As I said, Iran has slowly infiltrated the Sunni block to topple the US puppets and allow those as crazy as them to gain power….The caliphate is being made….

      Remember StormCrow, Iran began hating the US when we put the Shaw in, a puppet…We had zero reason doing that…

      Osama began hating the US when the US was brought in, creating AlQeada…We had zero reason to be there…

      Look at all the puppets put in place by the US under the guise of “freedom”, though those puppets stay in power for 40 years…

      If the US collapsed and a puppet was put in place by an oil rich and stacked cash country from the Middle East, do you think fighters would rise up here in the US to make them leave….No different is it?

      The only reason we were and are in the Middle East is for oil, $’s and control…Israel has been the excuse needed to win American support…Like i said, if we loved Israel so much we shouldn’t sale weapons to her enemies, right? Hypocrisy for $’s…

      It’s amazing we send our troops into the middle east, but can’t send them down to Mexico to take out the Cartel run Government there that is poisoning our children and killing our citizens as well as their own…Doesn’t that seem odd to you? Mexico has nothing to offer the US….Hypocrisy for $’s….

      thanks for your post. i’ve been saying the same thing. and let us not forget it was the mooseslimes that killed trade on the silk road.
      1-mini ice-age brought on the black death.
      2-Mongols,Jews,Christian,mooseslime,and others all traded peacefully. bacause the mooseslimes feared the Mongols.
      3-mini-ice age caused a population explosion of rats/fleas people and animals huddled due to resource guarding.
      4-made it easy for plaugue to take hold…mooseslime blamed the Jews and Europe fell in line (never let a crisis go to waste)
      5-them the mooseslime turned thier attention to the Mongols who were‘nt getting sick because fleas don’t like horses.Mongols live w/horses to protect thier military investment.

      just think , you in the west have been told that it was the Roman Catholic churh and Christians that were responible for the dark ages. how do youall like the truth .the pc lib movement to distroy civilization is comming to and end. the truth is our arms.

      i’d like to add one other fact. Mongke Kha’an was the one who 1st marched into bagdad.the US was the second. that’s another reason why they hate us.

      Monke marched in because the leader was a shia(who got off on watching camels copulate)who would use hashish to get some of his military followers stoned then send them to kill political figures. usually at random. there was no real rhyme or reason to who was killed. they were called hashishians because of the use of hash. that is where we get the term assasin from.those camlejerkers have been up to trouble scince the beginning.
      all this had come to light when Monke sent an envoy to set up trade routes.Yes they tried peacful trde negotiations first. the mooseslime killed the envoy. we’ll that up-set the Mongols REAL BAD. thus the fear that grew for the Mongols.having a few cities completly razed does that.
      I tell you this becuse history has the key to the mooseslime problem. STOMP THE CAMELDUNG OUT OF THEM! NO EXCUSES!

      @ Okie: I cannot agree with much of what you say. Western existence is what Islam finds offensive.
      The pop culture exported through the world from the West is offensive to them. Secular society is offensive to them. The Shah Pahlavi was a symbol of Western decadence. The return of Israel fully supported by the US is seen as a continuance of the crusades. Our troops in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt Iraq and Afghanistan and any other Muslim nation is seen as an act of war. Not submitting to Islam is an act of war. The geo politics of the last century are meaningless. It could be oil then, or grain, or slaves or the Mediterranean trade routes in the middle ages or whatever. The driving force is an imperialistic, unrelenting messianic religious impetus that wants to control every aspect of our lives from what we wear to what we eat to our entertainment etc. No wonder the Progs get along so well with the Muslims. I agree that we need to have our troops on our southern borders but if you don’t think that Islam is not in Mexico or Argentina or Guatamala or Trinidad and Tobago and Dearborn, Michigan then you are sadly misinformed. And this same old tired argument about war for oil is pathetic. How much oil have we received from Vietnam? Or Iraq? The only war for oil I see is the one started by Obama in Libya. Heck, they even said if the rebels there don’t start sending out oil there going to stop aid. No offense but how up is that? The war is with Islam. More…

      And China and Russia. As far as supporting dictators go I would entertain any resolutions that would realistically resolve that situation. Realistically. I would think that we would have loved to defeat Germany and Japan without Stalin. I would love to welcome Oakland, California back into the fold but they despise the police there. And Philadelphia and Detroit, et al. ad nauseum. They think our police departments throughout the nation are nothing but tinpot dictators killing and torturing the citizens in their jurisdictions. So I suppose it is just best that we scrap that system and just turn it over to who? Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam? The New Black Panthers? The KKK? It’s an ugly world out there brother and they will slit our throats the first chance they get. As soon as an area is stabilized get those dictators out. Now you tell me how does Islam want to stabilize the Middle east? The question always is how much self governance can humanity sustain with the most amount of individual liberty and self determination before the system collapses in chaos. I think that is all it really boils down to. I regret that these thoughts cannot be expressed in brief. Clarity also suffers in these off the cuff debates. But I appreciate your point of view on these issues and I would hope that at some future date the world will be able to co exist under democratic republics that extol personal responsibility and individual liberty.

      3rd: Happening now….(Against the Roman Armies, USA, 2nd beast)

      Islam is a false religion but everything can be used by God…

      First: would our Founders do what we are doing today?

      Second: if not for oil, $’s on munitions, control, why are we in the Middle East? Democracy? I thought you said toppling a dictator, Mubarak, was bad and a progressive thing…Seems inconsistent….Please clearly articulate why we are in the Middle East…

      Third: do you believe if an Islamic country put in a puppet dictator here in the USA Americans Citizens wouldn’t rise up in the name of God to topple and attack? Please answer this question…

      Fourth: If Israel is our Ally, why sale weapons, tanks, planes to Islamic countries? 

      Fifth: how was Russia collapsed? 

      Last: is killing in the name of God right?
