Islamic mob kills Christians, destroys church in Egypt

More anti-Christian murders and destruction by Muslims, this time in Egypt. Following is from the Assyrian International News Agency (reliability unknown), dated March 5th, 2011:

(AINA) – A mob of nearly 4,000 Muslims has attacked Coptic homes this evening in the village of Soul, 30 kilometers from Cairo, and torched the Church of St. Mina and St. George. There are conflicting reports about the whereabouts of the Church pastor Father Yosha and three deacons who were at church; some say they died in the fire and some say they are being held captive by the Muslims inside the church.

Witnesses report the mob prevented the fire brigade from entering the village. The army, which has been stationed for the last two days in the village of Bromil, 7 kilometers from Soul, initially refused to go into Soul, according to the officer in charge. When the army finally sent three tanks to the village, Muslim elders sent them away, saying that everything was “in order now.”

A curfew has been imposed on the 12,000 Christians in the village.

The Muslim mob attacked the church, exploding 5-6 gas cylinders inside the church, pulled down the cross and the domes and burnt everything inside.

Obviously the Muslims responsible for this atrocity aren't our neighbors here in the U.S., but have you heard any U.S. Muslims condemning these anti-Christian acts? I haven't. And it's not surprising because Muslims can't support religious freedom without running afoul of the commands of both the Koran and Sharia law that everyone must either convert to Islam, or submit and pay the tax--or be killed.

Hey, U.S. politicians: Tell us one more time how Islam is a "religion of peace."

What an utter crock.
