The worst attack on Egypt's Christian minority in recent years occurred yesterday, Sunday, December 11, 2016. St. Peter Cathedral in Cairo, packed with worshipers celebrating Sunday mass, was bombed; at least 27 churchgoers, mostly women and children, were killed and 65 severely wounded. As many of the wounded are in critical condition, the death toll is expected to rise.

As usual, witnesses say that state security was not present, and that police took an inordinate amount of time to arrive after the explosion. Preliminary investigations point to a bomb placed inside an unattended woman's purse on one of the rear pews of the women's section.

Mutilated bodies were strewn along the floor of the cathedral. "I found bodies, many of them women, lying on the pews. It was a horrible scene," said one witness.

"I saw a headless woman being carried away," said Mariam Shenouda.

This is an excellent account of Muslim attacks on Christians in Egypt.

Everyone should read it.

Likely pals of Obama - Muslim Brotherhood.

Google Search suggests that the MSM seem to have published a few accounts a couple of days ago, and nothing since. The NY Times mentions that some people think it was the Islamic State or the Muslim Brotherhood, but avoids the word “Muslim” or “terrorist.” If this had been a right-wing Christian bomber, they’d have published articles about it every day for a year.
