Everyone with a single functioning brain cell knows that militant Islam respects no religion or holy place but its own. To these barbarians, every non-Muslim is a heretic deserving of death and they feel that they are religiously obligated by Allah to carry out that punishment. Period.As the "canaries in the mine", the Jews would probably get it in the neck first but there probably aren't enough Jews left in Cairo or anywhere else in Egypt to make it worth their while. So, the next target are the Christians. In their case, the militants have an additional reason to kill - revenge for the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition. True, those were carried out by the Roman Catholic Church and not the Eastern Orthodox Church but the militants don't care - if you believe in Jesus, you're a heathen. Everything else is detail. I think that Christians are a little stunned by what is going on - for centuries Christians were the religious aggressors and non-Christians were the targets. Now the shoe is on the other foot. |
