Over the past few days, Christian churches have been attacked in at least two countries - Nigeria and Egypt - while small packages containing improvised explosive devices were placed on the doorsteps of Christian families in Iraq. Attacks against Christians are not uncommon in the Islamic world, driven by local issues and groups, and it is unclear whether these latest attacks were simply coincidental and do not raise the threat to a new level or whether they indicate the existence of a new, coordinated, international initiative. There is a strong case to be made for the idea that there is nothing new in all of this.
Yet I am struck by the close timing of events in three distant and dispersed countries. Certainly, Egyptian intelligence services are looking for any regional connections (e.g., whether Iraqi operatives recruited the Egyptian bomber). While there have been previous bombings in Egypt, they have focused on tourists, not churches. What is important is this: If the recent attacks are not coincidental, then a coordinated campaign is being conducted against Christian churches that spans at least these countries. And it is a network that has evaded detection by intelligence services.

Stay tuned.
This is more about the usual pogroms of the muslims against Christians and Jews and has a long- very long- history. it IS what the Crusades were about. These people gain and hold power at the point of a gun or a bomb (used to be a sword).
We should not be naive. Islam has nothing to do with “peace”.
Mass destruction of churches and Christians has been caused in Cyprus by the marauding turk muslims yeah you know the “secular Muslims”—barf.
Mass destruction of churches and Christians has been done in kosovo—the place that the US helped to zombify and hand over to the Muslims.
Mass destruction of churches and Christians has been done in Iraq—the place that the US “liberated” and helped to zombify and hand over to the Muslims.
islam has nothing to do with religion either. islam is a socio-political construct that has one goal and that is to detaroy and replace anything that is not islam.

Rarely a day goes by without a threat, a bombing somewhere in the world from this peaceful religion.
