It wasn't so long ago that we reported about Al-Qaeda taking hostage a church in Baghdad. Then that they made good on their promise to continue targeting Christians in Iraq and around the world. Over the Christmas holidays, we reported on churches and Christians were attacked and murdered by Islamists in Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, and the Philippines.
In Islamic countries, this violence has less backlash than when Al-Qaeda was more actively murdering Muslim Children at playgrounds. That led to Islamists in Saudi Arabia to denounce Al-Qaeda as a Mossad operation. Funny how that works.
But how has the world reacted to the attacks on Christians? Some have bemoaned the exodous of Christians seeking asylum from Iraq, but mostly the world has sat silent. Obama attempted to highlight not the Christians murdered but the Muslims injured in the blast in Egypt. He didn't mention the larger portion of the Egyptian Police force that slinked away ahead of the bombing, but the few that didn't get far enough away.
And those elements that attempted to deny Islamist murder of Muslim kids as Al-Qaeda and OBL being Mossad? Oh, the anti-Semites find Mossad behind the Al-Qaeda murders of Christians as well, again pointing to those few Muslims injured in the sinful (as per the Koran) attack on a Church. Then again, the anti-Semites also find a Mossad plot behind shark attacks and the Stuxnet virus, and any other evil they perceive. There's an off shot the Mossad may have been behind the Stuxnet worm, but other than motive, little evidence. If they were, they should be cheered and not everyone that thinks they were is anti-Semitic. But behind shark attacks in the Red Sea? It demonstrates how desperate the anti-Semetic crowd is.
Michael Haltman has been a great job of following up on the Coptic Church murders. Drop in to see his coverage.
