Newly-surfaced video from Egypt shows a Muslim mob storming a Coptic church, setting cars on fire and then toppling a cross atop the steeple, in a shocking attack that Christians say has been played out dozens of times since the ouster of Mohammad Morsi.

The video, obtained by MidEast Christian News, was shot Aug. 14 from a nearby building overlooking the diocese in the southern Egyptian city of Sohag.

Dozens of Coptic churches were attacked by members and supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood in the wake of the military’s move against Morsi, who critics say was turning Egypt into an Islamist state.

A good friend at work is an emigre Copt.

He says his family in Alexandria can’t believe the U.S. is behind Morsi and the Islamo-Thugs.

Egyptians regard the $2 billion from the U.S. as sucker money now. The Saudis offered far more to make up for it, and everyone in Egypt who has a brain is all for it.

Even the Copts think the Sunni will treat them better than the fanatic Shiite Brotherhood/Al Qaeda trash.

Don’t even have to tell you what they think of jumping in on the side of the Hamas/Al Qaeda nutcases in Syria.

“The provisional military government has pledged to rebuild Christian churches destroyed by mobs.”

That makes it all better.

Since when did the Muslim Brotherhood convert to Shia?

Sen. Rand Paul is hammering his fellow senators for keeping billions in financial aid flowing to Egypt’s military — even as Cairo’s security forces massacre anti-government activists.

[by “anti-government activists” is meant church-burning jihadists]

muslim brotherhood, salafists and al Qaeda are sunni muslims, not Shiite.
Shiites and sunni hate each other since the creation of islam.
Saudi is supporting the army because they realise the catastrophe that the muslim brotherhood can inflict on the gulf shiekhdoms.

So a bunch of human-like creatures, whose evolution has not reached the complexity of modern day Man, attack and destroy a religious institution that is not theirs.
This should not be a surprise. What is surprising, is the number of people who don’t give a rodent’s back end sphincter and blame it on the other religion.
