On jan 1,2011 at 12:20am a car exploded infront of a Coptic Church in Alexandria Egypt causing the death of 20ppl and injury of 80+. The bombing was done by "radical" Muslims (as the government loves to call them) for the absolute of NO REASON but haterism in these people hearts towards Christians. The brutal,uneducated egyptian police forces instead of containing the situation it helped the Muslims to attack the Christians. The video of the moment of the explosion can be found on here: http://www.masrawy.com/News/Egypt/Politics/2011/january/1/video_ra3b.aspx --- scroll down and the video will be on the left. The people in the church were singing saying "Holy Holy Holy Lord of Hosts heaven and Earth are of your holy glor..." when the bomb went of. The pictures of police brutality can be found on here: http://www.masrawy.com/News/Egypt/Politics/2011/january/1/clashes_copts.aspx --- scroll down for the pictures! May God be in the help of these people. Pray for their families and keep the persecuted Coptic church in your prayers.

I saw the parts of corpses laying on the ground - another scene of horrible violence. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12102439 I don't think that God could help those people. There is a lot of hatred betwen the copts and the muslims in this country. And I don't think that the police is to blame. Maybe the people should try do something and prevent the extremists.

There is no hatred between Copts/Christians and anyone. H.H. Pope Shenouda III, the Pope and patriarch of Alexandria (Coptic Church) who is nicknamed pope of Arabs,has contained many incidents that could have developed into civil wars in Egypt and that's from the mouth of their sh-yokh (Muslim religion's leaders) and historians in Egypt have all agreed on that His Holiness is the "safety valve" in Egypt. Muslims on the other side are commanded by their Quran to kill us. The Muslims that do these bombing are just following what their Quran and their prophet told them. The others that are peaceful and civilized are actually the ones that are not following all their Quran commands. And the police that attacks its people because of haters is a brutal police. And that is not the first incident that the police attacks Copts in, or even normal Egyptians. The only hope actually for this Country now is God! May God comfort them and give them strength!
