We're talking about a church smack in the middle of quite a densely Christian populated area..Al Zaytoon.
A church that is down in Egyptian History as one that witnessed an Apparition of the Virgin Mary back in 1968. An apparition verified by many Muslims and Christians alike!
I heard there were initially two bombs, one that went off and another that was stopped or just didn't explode for some reason. The bomb was in a car parked near/outside the church as a wedding ceremony was taking place inside.
Anyway, news sources say the explosion was obviously intended as a scare rather than an intention to kill. Which is sad really, because in this situation it's clearly an intention to scare an ENTIRE group of people. Church + Zaytoon = A bunch of Christians.
This is a minority that by now, has probably grown immune to this BS! Whether it's governmental crackdowns or societal discrimination or human right violations or sectarian violence, this Minority's skin is a little tougher than that I think.
Crazy man stabbing people randomly in church, or girls having sulphuric acid thrown at their faces and chests for wearing crosses, or thrown under subway trains etc. etc.
I must honestly say that:
a) I believe the Christian Minority to be more than 10%, but no one will ever actually count!
b) The Christian population is a lot more spread out across Egypt than that! lol
c) Aggression near a place of worship is a downright declaration of war. WHAT THE HELL?!? What are these people thinking?
I honestly want to know? What is the purpose here? Do we want Egypt to be void of non-muslims? Do we want them to go extinct? Do we want them to live in fear and continuously hang their heads low?
Oh wait, I forgot, let's not blame the Muslims for this one. Here's objectivity for you, perhaps it's some crazy Christian guy with a grudge and wanted to marry the bride or something, perhaps it's completely random, and hey, perhaps it's like the national paper said, it was just an electric fire from faulty fuse wirings in the car.
You know something? I HOPE it's any of these lame reasons instead.
