Egyptian Muslims throng in thousands to be human shield for Christians.

great story

Isn't it brilliant, a fabulous story that I can't remember being on the front page of any Newspaper.

oooooo wow - she can post links to YouTube - isn't she clever.

\link{\it's Comp Fan}

did you know that in ICT in schools one of the first things that most half decent ICT teachers tell their pupils is make sure of ther source of their information and to only use reputable sites when quoting information from them....

ooo look I can \link{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Muslims\link to Wiki too}

According to that last year a Mosque in the West Bank was destroyed by arson,

awww well - this is fun - but it's not getting my video done for church. Got 2 to do for Friday evening and I've not even finished the first one yet!!!

compfan So do you have a problem with any religion where some members of it persecute members of another religion?

Complan, I'm not indian at all - and I don't see how my heritage is relevant, especially if you are incapable of spelling? Please don't insult me by claiming to have dyslexia; if you did, you would be expressing yourself far more articulately than you currently are because you would have had the courtesy to use your lonely brain cell.

I'm still waiting for quantifiable and quantitative evidence, by the way.

ooooo purple - you've lost me now with your last sentence

Maybe tomorrow once the old brain is working again (I hope!).

As the thread was about Egypt, here is a few extra for this counrty.

Coptic Christians Children

Christians pray at bombed church.

Christian hit by rubber bullets

Muslims attack christian funeral with garbage and rocks.

Muslims attack christian shops and cars.

Attack on Chritians in upper Egypt.

Attacks in Giza

Mobs attack church in Cairo

Coptic Christian lad 19 killed by police

Christians attacked by police while building new church

Christians have their graves desecrated and bones removed.

Muslims and police destroy a church in Alfayom.

to choose just a few, there is plenty more.

I wonder if compfan is allergic to answering questions?

Baroque, I think you'll find the links explaining the terms highly educational

Complan, youtube is not recognisable evidence. Please link to Reuters, any reputable broadsheet newspaper or a referenced University thesis as you are blatently incapable of typing w w w . w i k i p e d i a . o r g

Kaloki, I concur

purpleindjin

Youtube is merely a video hosting site, it has thousands of videos from reuters, bbc you name it as well as amateur footage.

Amongst the links I provided there is a few BBc stories as well as Journeyman Pictures one of the leading documentary makers.

As for the amateur footage if you want to beleive the coptic christians have employed thousands of film extras to throw shit at funerals and have used the latest CGI special effects to show their churches on fire then so be it. What a total clown you are.

question - are there any active churches in any muslim countries? thanks

which ones pls

isn't there a death penalty in (a?) muslim country if you change your religion from muslim to christianty? i am sure i am either been told this or read it somewhere, thnks

Kelway. I've already mentioned one.
Kosova is a Muslim country. A number of Serbs living there still are Orthodox, there are also Catholic Churches as well as a few nondemoninational ones.
There is definitely no death penalty there for such things though your family members may not take kindly to it. That happens int his country too though for conversions between many different religions.
I talk about Kosova because I know about it. I know there are others but this is one I have the facts on.

of course Compfan if you had any brains at all (or were actually a practising Christian) your would have linked to the largest organisation in the world that helps persecuted Christians world wide.........then you wouldn't had had to scour the oh so accurate YouTube.

But then I don't suppose you even know the nam of it without using google do you............

What a lovely story, reading it has brought a tear to my eye.
A little bit more understanding is what this world needs, and this shows it can be done

and lets not forget what happened to Salman Taseer earlier this month - shot dead by his own bodyguard for trying to save the life of a Christian women. He knew he life was at risk from extremists but continued regardless. His daughter (also I believe a Muslim?) has taken up his cause and risks her own life in doing so.

If your sources are so reliable, why are you using a third party like youtube? Surely the evidence you are claiming support your arguments are available from primary source websites and are therefore citable in an academic way?

And that's Mistress Clown to you

purplepidjin Nope just a common clown. What a truly stupid point. Whats your big issue with Youtube, even mumsnet has a youtube channel. Its just a place to find videos conveniently. What difference what site is hosting them.

The fact is the videos are sick and rather than condemn the disgusting actions of these crazed islamics causing violence and death amongst Egypts Christians who have lived in Egypt longer than they have, you'd sooner try and be a smart arse and make some lame point about who is hosting the vids.

Pathetic.

kelway - kazakhstan has a thriving christian and jewish communities and no death penalty for converting as far as I am aware

compfan It's about the only things you respond to, questions seem to whizz over your head, especially ones that might just show up your lack of logic.

The point is obvious to anyone with more than a grain of common sense.

I shall tell it as a Social Story for the hard-of-thinking among us:

Youtube is on the internet.

Lots of stupid and ignorant people are also on the internet.

Stupid and ignorant people make things up.

Stupid and ignorant people like to make videos and pretend that clever and sensible people agree with them.

Stupid and ignorant people are allowed to post on youtube.

Sensible and clever people carefully assimilate (that means "think about and check") all the facts, then tell other sensible and clever people about these facts in a sensible and clever way.

Stupid and ignorant people keep shouting the same thing over and over again, stamp their feet, pout, cry and call names.

Thanks for your condescending answer,

Now I'm really interested to know which of the videos I have linked to on youtube are made up by stupid and ignorant people?? Go on, tell us!?

Is it the BBC one, the Journeyman picture ones, perhaps the American media ones or is it the amateur ones filmed by Egyptian Christians you have a problem with??

So, did these Christians hire hundreds of local extras to throw shit at one of their funeral parades, or did they us the latest special effects to show one of their churches burning after being bombed.

COME ON, LETS US KNOW.

Perhaps in your snooty sub standard academic outlook you think is youtube is just full of videos of kids farting. ITN, BBC, Channel 4, Mumsnet etc etc etc all have Youtube Channels, and the media often show videos that first appear on sites like youtube, like during the Iranian protests last year.

This is the 21st century, get into it, your stuck in some pathetic dead tree press era where the only person you trust is somethign Rupert Murdochs journalists have wrote!! AHAHAAAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAAH

Compfan - we know that atrocities have happened. The media carries stories of Islamic extremists carrying out atrocities all the time. That's why it's so nice to see a positive story about Muslims for a change.
