Fuck ISIS. And that picture of blood on the pillars and floor. so sad.
Glad I live in the US and not in the Middle East. *or Europe* Kappa
Looks like more religious tolerance just got delivered. Seems like we'd stop ordering that shit.
They dont like churches in egypt they destroyed like 50 in 2014. Muslim brotherhood if i remember it right.

Glad i visited egypt 10 years ago or so i would not travel there today.
When Pope Urban II called for a crusade to retake Jerusalem it was in part to put religious places back in Christian hands. A lot of the holy sites were in Christian hands already, Christian Coptics. Shame such an ancient group has to go through this.

"This will be a fight against overwhelming odds from which survival cannot be expected. We will do what damage we can."
-- Capt. Copeland
The Coptic Christians have faced murder and persecution from Islamists for 1,400 years, with a brief respite in the century prior to Nasser taking over. Sadly this is nothing new to their community.
It actually started because Christians making pilgrimage to the holy lands were being attacked, robbed and/or killed, enslaved.
Sad to hear about this. We should learn to tolerate those who disagree with us as long as what they believe in does not directly harm us. I mean in tangible ways. The attackers may feel it does, but they are wrong.
Tragic, really.
Yeah, Christians tend to get wiped out in those countries. It must be the fault of western meddling in like Lebanon or something. I mean, what other reason could there be for Arabic Christians being murdered on a regular basis?
Not only so much human life lost, but all those cultural treasures and monuments and history...
This is sad but this happens all the time and the world just accepts it. There is no Trump intervening with a illegal airstrike for these people like he did in Syria.
Kek...
Just a few posts in and it has already been turned into an American bashing thread. And religion bashing too! How long before it becomes an anti-Trump thread?

I know, it is terrible. After all, look what happened to the nose of the Sphinx.
It takes years of brainwashing to get someone insane enough to applaud such acts of wanton destruction and bloodshed.
Unless the idea behind them dies, it will just spread infinitely, creating terrorists faster than anyone can kill them. This ridiculous idea that, rather than pieces of what was once you having to be scraped off the walls and fed to worms, a magical spirit will come out of that meat pile and get to party in heaven with a harem of virgins.
It's fine don't worry. According to some posters in here, this is a passing trend nothing serious.
That awkward moment when Egypt isnt on the ban list
