    Palm Sunday mass is depressing enough as is. This is just so fucking sad. And probably ironic ten different ways to Sunday. How have we not moved on from killing people over their religions yet?

      How is Palm Sunday Mass depressing? You get those palm leaves. Don’t you turn them into things when you are bored during Mass? I know I did growing up. All the kids would turn them into crosses, ties, swords and hats much to our parents’ chagrin. It became our toy for that Mass. By the end of it we were always sword fighting or comparing our art projects.

      Totally along the lines of what I was thinking when I read about this attack yesterday. For every pasty Midwestern conservative Christian who thinks that they are “persecuted” for their faith, I want to have pictures of attacks like these on hand to share with them or remind them of the summer of 2014 when ISIS had trapped Christians and Yazidis in the mountains of Iraq and was starving they and their children to death... and then ask: “Tell me exactly how you are persecuted?”

    Psst...ISIS, your god is NOT willing; there is no “God”; you’re just a bunch of homocidal maniacs who get off on torturing others. Go fuck yourselves.

    Wouldn’t ISIS claim responsibility for any terrorist attack? We just take their word for it?

    And an ocean of blood is bigger than a river of blood. Just sayin’.

      I can’t see them claiming the attacks done by white supremacists or the IRA or the ETA....

    “... if God is willing.”

    God is not willing, dipshits, and neither is anyone else.

    “I won’t say those who fell are Christian or Muslim,” he said on state television Sunday evening. “I will say that they’re Egyptian.”

    AKA, “All Egyptian Lives Matter”

    The Coptic Christian Church descended from the first churches ever established and are as far from the European Crusaders as possible. It shouldn’t surprise me that Daesh doesn’t read or respect history, but this is spectacularly wrong.

    Daesh picked them solely for being easy targets and not on religious grounds.

    “Claims”. The word you are looking for is “claims.”

    Yeah the Copts are probably one of the most persecuted minorities in the Middle East right now as many Egyptians blame them for the current military dictatorship and many have been beaten and killed during protests and counter protests about the treatment they’ve received lately.

      At least there’s a new Egyptian law that makes room for the possibility that the government might permit the destroyed churches to be repaired.

      Church construction and repair remains subject to considerable restrictions and even permit denial based on flimsy or fanciful reasons, and by no means are churches afforded the same extremely liberal consideration that mosques are granted under Egyptian law.

      But before this, church construction and repair was subject to a presidential decree that imposed so many conditions that it effectively created a near absolute prohibition on church construction and repair. That decree has been superseded by this new law. So that’s...something.
