The Vatican’s ambassador to Tanzania was at the Roman Catholic church in Arusha, which had just been built and was holding its first mass, when the bomb went off.

He was unharmed, but two people died and 30 were injured in the first significant such raid on Tanzania’s Christian community at worship.

At least 20 people have been murdered in a violent attack on a Christian funeral in central Nigeria’s Taraba state on Friday. A round-the-clock curfew is now in place as a result of the “Muslim mob” action, according to a report by the Agence France Presse.

An aid worker told the AFP, “We have recovered 20 bodies from the violence so far,” adding that the unrest had occurred in the town of Wukari, some 125 miles from the state capital Jalingo.

Massive police presence to protect a church and some Christians in Egypt

Posted on by

On the one hand, its good that Egyptian officialdom at some level feels its worth protecting a Christian institution, but on the other hand, the fact that its necessary might negate that slight benefit.

The Muslim Brotherhood however has set out a decree that Jewish temples and Churches are not to be attacked. The people inside them may be killed but not near their houses of worship. Presumably because it creates too much hostility for the muslim managers of ‘interfaith’ organizations across the US which are still more useful to them in terms of islamic manifest destiny than churches are an irritant elsewhere. I will be presenting the evidence of this claim within a few days I expect.

H/T M for this.

No Christians were harmed during the making of this movie. for a change.

More Egyptian Muslims attack a church and Christians due to the rumour of one muslim girl converting to Christianity and marrying the person of her choice.

Posted on by

The google translation is a little rough on this video but it appears to be saying that officials for some mysterious reason were unable to stop these muslims from attacking a church as a classic islamic response to rumours that a girl converted to Christianity and married a Christian.

Nothing at all savage or primitive about this whatsoever.

No sir ee Bob. Although I do think if you ever decide to visit Egypt and notice its foggy outside, I suggest leaving the hotel by the back door.

Egyptian police fire tear gas to quell crowds after Muslim girl quits town with Christian man

Posted on by

FOX News:

CAIRO –  An Egyptian security official and a priest say police fired tear gas and clashed with a stone-throwing mob of Muslims who had surrounded a Coptic Church in anger over an inter-faith romance.

The Muslim protesters accuse the church of helping to secret away 21-year-old Rana el-Shazli, believed to have converted to Christianity before fleeing her small town with a Coptic Christian man to Turkey.

The alleged romance ignited sectarian tension in Wasta, a rural town in Beni Suef province, about 95 kilometers (60 miles) south of Cairo. Clashes flared anew on Friday after weekly Muslim prayers.

For more than a month, Muslims have attacked churches over the incident and forced Christians to close their shops in the town.

A 12-year-old Christian girl was kidnapped and repeatedly raped for eight months in Pakistan by a man who then falsified marriage documents with her, it was claimed today.

The girl was lured on a shopping trip in Lahore by a friend, before she was driven 120 miles to Tandianwalla and raped by the friend’s uncle in January this year.

Two days later, she was forced to sign papers consenting to marriage with the man and beaten for refusing to convert from Christianity to Islam.

Islamist Ultimatum to Syrian Christians: Convert, Leave, or Die

(AINA) — Syria’s Christians fear an Islamist takeover should the current government be overthrown. During the ongoing civil war there has been a well-documented rise in the number of salafi-jihadist groups operating in Syria that pose a direct threat to Syria’s Christian community.1 These militant opposition forces espouse an Islamist ideology, which incorporates elements of Wahhabism2 and Salafism3 and whose stated goals and objectives are by definition hostile towards Christians. Firsthand accounts from Syrian Christian refugees in Lebanon reported by award winning investigative journalist Nuri Kino detail the horror in which they described kidnappings, rapes, harassment, theft and other violent reprisals at the hands of Islamist groups.

Those who survived reported “just being Christian is enough to be a target,”4 disproving theories that violence and kidnapping directed towards Syrian Christians is purely incidental or for economic reasons. One individual openly declared “We’re not poor. We didn’t run from poverty […] we ran from fear.”5

Media Belatedly Mentions that Gunman Who Opened Fire in a Church on Easter Left Behind a Koran

Posted on by

This really does need saying as often as possible.

Front Page:

Let’s lay out a hypothetical scenario. An American walks into a mosque during Ramadan, opens fire while quoting Bible passages and then leaves behind a Bible.

On a scale of 1 to non-stop coverage, how often do you think you would be hearing about it, how fast would religious motives be attached to it and how quickly would we learn that the bible was left behind?

But the same rules don’t apply to Islam. Muslims are designated victims. And they may act like oppressors, but that just means the story gets buried. So only now do we learn that a Muslim who opened fire in a church on Easter left behind a small present.

Al Arabiya –

A statement on Tuesday by an Egyptian presidential aide accusing Christian Copts of being the cause of Monday’s clashes near Cairo’s Abbasiya Cathedral has caused public outrage.

Issam al-Hadad, the president’s assistant on foreign affairs, published the statement on Facebook, saying that during a funeral of Christians on Monday, some angry mourners attacked passing cars.

This led some people near the cathedral to open fire and throw rocks, which escalated into an exchange of gunfire, he added.

EU Wants To Abolish Cross From Greek Flag?

Posted on by

The thing about this is, I guarantee 100% that if they succeed in removing the cross from the Greek flag, some kind of exception will be made for the crescent moon and star perhaps claiming that it isn’t really a religious symbol or some other such nonsense as they do everywhere else. My favorite example of course is this one where Ottawa City Council allowed a mosque to be built with no parking even though the nearby church had to obey city bylaws and provide X number of parking spots per seat. Why? Because in mosques they sit on the floor and so they don’t really use seats and as a consequences, don’t need parking.

Yes. Really.

That actually did happen

Eeyore for Vlad.

On March 25, on the occasion of the Greek Independence Day Parade, the  “new” Greek flags which fluttered in the wind in many Greek cities, appeared with only blue and white stripes, without the cross symbol of Christianity.

In the past few months, there have been reports in the Greek media that the European Union has been seriously discussing the possibility of abolishing religious symbols from six out of 27 EU countries that have the cross symbol on their flags: Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Great Britain, Malta and Greece.

Established during the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire, the colors of the Greek flag symbolize the sea that surrounds the country (blue) and the purity of the fighters’ cause (white).

Now Media:

An Coptic cleric said that Muslim extremists are targeting Egypt’s Christians.

The sectarian clashes that erupted in Egypt after the funeral of four Christians were a premeditated attack by Muslim extremists, a Christian cleric told NOW.

“The Khusus incident and the attack against the mourners means that there are some who are targeting the Copts in Egypt,” Sourial Younan, the priest in charge of Saint George’s Church in Khosous told NOW.

“Some extremist Salafists want to harm the Copts. During the Khosous troubles, the mosques’ loudspeakers were calling on the Muslims to undertake Jihad against the Copts.”
