A funeral for four Coptic Christians killed in the town of Khosous quickly turned violent when unknown assailants swarmed in and began attacking attendees.

Youth Union spokesperson Nader Shoukry told Al Jazeera Mubasher Misr that tear gas had been fired inside the cathedral there “without clear reason.” DPA news agency has reported that 25 people have been injured in the clashes.

This is crazy. As much as Christians seem to be mocked and vilified here in the U.S. lately, I have to remind myself that we have it easy compared to Christians in other countries where the decision to practice one's faith is literally a life or death choice.

Please pray for our Christian brothers and sisters this and other countries who are being so violently persecuted for practicing their faith.

Remember,

The Islamo-fascist government of Egypt is being financed and armed by the United States.

The Department of Defense recently showed a Powerpoint presentation that listed Evangelical Christians and Catholics along with Aryan Brotherhood and KKK as “extremists” and “terrorists”.

Seek the Lord while you still can without being punished or even killed for it.

If you shut your eyes and go back 70 years or so, you can picture Roosevelt sitting with his staff partying while he did nothing for the Jews in Europe.

Another Democrat president who cares about the people of the world and their liberty and freedoms.

Doubtless, this has Obama salivating at the thought of doing the same thing here.

Notice how fast our fearless leader goes on TV and condemns vigorously this action! Notice how fast he calls it barbarian and sensless, and how wrong it is to target people because of their religion.

I know just how you feel. We haven’t heard boo from the White House since this happened.

They must be too busy getting ready for Justin Timberlake and Queen Latifah.

Yep - I heard about that presentation on Friday, I think. It blows my mind that one of the important reasons our forefathers left England to begin with was so that they could have religious freedom and now here it is, 2013, and we’re facing the same problem here.
