  • A former Catholic Church, St. Peter and Paul was firebombed on Our Lady's Nativity.  Sadly this gem had been sold over to the Copts due to lack of interest.  Not that the Coptics deserve this hatred.

    The Holy Altar was miraculously spared, but all of the holy relics and artwork burnt to a crisp.

    The Muslim women were heard doing a traditional victory sound.   :cry: :cry: :cry:

  • I think that this may be a sign of battered woman's syndrome.

  • That's a very good point, Sedetrad.  And battered in more ways than one. :cry:

    And some of these US bishops might as well have firebombed the gorgeous churches they destroyed and profaned.

  • 'Before Israel, America had no enemies in the Middle East'
    -Father John Sheehan, SJ




    "Arab Palestinian Christians and Arab Palestinian Muslims lived side by side for the past 1400 years... and for anybody to say that the Arab Palestinian Christians have been persectued recently by Muslims is a big lie ... like the big lie that spoke of Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq.
    - Riah Abu El-Assal, Bishop of Jerusalem

  • Islam is used as a scourge by God to punish heretics, schismatics, and the faithless.

    The North Africans developed Donatism, and they got overrun first. Then the Persians came out with Manicheanism and they were conquered by the Mohammedans. Then Spain embraced Arianism and it got invaded by the Moors. Then the Byzantine Empire went Orthodox and it got taken by the Turks. Then the Central Europeans went for Lutheranism and Calvinism and they were almost subdued, except for Lepanto and the Rosary. Now the modern Europeans have fallen into error and indifference and they will be next.

    pray for us.

  • Every Heresy to ever threaten and attac Christianity, comes from Jєωry.


    Christians and Muslims live peacefully in Jordan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria,

    Israel is the Cancer that forments war and strife to divide and conquer.

    Arian Was Jєω
    The People responsible for our Immigration p[olicies in Europe and the USA are Zionist Jєωs.

    So the Crusades were just a stroll around the Mediterranean?

    Christians in Egypt have been discriminated against for 1500 years. The Copts have to live in the worst neighborhoods, even in graveyards. In Saudi Arabia conversion to Christianity has been punishable by death since the time of Mohammed. Spain produced countless martyrs during the Islamic subjugation. Holy Land began to empty out of Christians during the Ottoman Empire starting in late 1800's, due to persecution there.

    Bosnians are Serbs and Croatians who were forced to convert at swordpoint. Muslim armies took Sicily twice.

    Jєωs control world finances and mass media, true. Muslims are also are deadly enemies, for different reasons.

    There has been little war and strife between Christians and Muslims for centuries, outside of the Crusades, which concerned Empires, not religion.

    This is mostly Zio Nonsense.
    Christians, Jєωs AND Muslims lived in Egypt for centuries, strife free.  
    Over 1 milion Jєωs lived in Egypt before emigrating to IsraHell in 1947-1952.
    Your post has little resemblence to the truth.

    Irish Catholics went through Similar experiences by the Protestant controlled by Zio Jєωs in Ireland.
    I dont undserstand your point.

    Catholics dealt with this persecution all throughout Europe in the various wars, from the 30 year war to the 100 year war, By the Protestant Heretics siding with the Zios over the Church.

  • From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copt

    In 641 A.D., Egypt was invaded by the Arabs who faced off with the Byzantine army, but found little to no resistance from the native Egyptian population. Local resistance by the Egyptians however began to materialize shortly thereafter and would last until at least the ninth century.

    The Arabs imposed a special tax, known as Jizya, on the Christians who acquired the status of dhimmis, and all native Egyptians were prohibited from joining the army. Egyptian converts to Islam in turn were relegated to the status of mawali. Heavy taxation was one of the reasons behind Egyptian organized resistance against the new occupying power, as well as the decline of the number of Christians in Egypt. The Arabs' oppression of the Egyptians led the latter to mount several armed rebellions against the Arabs, some of which, such as that of the Beshumurians in the Delta were successful.

    The Arabs in the 7th century seldom used the term Egyptian, and used instead the term Copt to describe the people of Egypt. Thus, Egyptians became known as Copts, and the non-Chalcedonian Egyptian Church became known as the Coptic Church. The Chalcedonian Church remained known as the Melkite Church. In their own native language, Egyptians referred to themselves as rem-en-kimi, which translates into those of Egypt. Religious life remained largely undisturbed following the Arab occupation, as evidence by the rich output of Coptic arts in monastic centers in Old Cairo (Fustat) and throughout Egypt. Conditions, however, worsened shortly after that, and in the eighth and ninth centuries, during the period of the great national resistance against the Arabs, Muslim rulers banned the use of human forms in art (taking advantage of an iconoclastic conflict in Byzantium) and consequently destroyed many Coptic paintings and frescoes in churches.

    The Fatimid period of Islamic rule in Egypt was tolerant with the exception of the violent persecutions of caliph Al-Hakim. The Fatimid rulers employed Copts in the government and participated in Coptic and local Egyptian feasts. Major renovation and reconstruction of churches and monasteries were also undertaken. Coptic arts flourished, reaching new heights in Middle and Upper Egypt. Persecution of Egyptian Christians, however, reached a peak in the early Mamluk period following the Crusader wars. Many forced conversions of Christians took place. Monasteries were occasionally raided and destroyed by marauding Bedouin, but were rebuilt and reopened.


    Doesn't sound like everything was all peaches and cream to me. Note that all of this occurred long before the Zionist movement began.
