[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, didn't post the link to the whole story:  http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2016/05/26/world/middleeast/ap-ml-egypt-christians-.html?_r=0[/quote]

This is atrocious and should get all the attention.

However, NY Times and the OP fail to recognize attaching religion with incorrect behavior is promoting haters to hate innocent people based on religion. There are millions of Muslims (I am not a Muslim) in the world (and in Egypt) who are peace loving normal people like you and me.

I am sure you do not want to target the police officers who paralyzed the Indian old man in Alabama as Christian mob, or the hate crimes that happened after 9/11 to be the work of Christian mob. Will you? Why would you then attach religion to an atrocious act that happened in another country. What purpose it serves other than giving KKK like mentality to flourish?

You wonder why Trump is popular, it is because of the depiction of stories like this in MSM and it is because people like you & me tolerating and promoting this bias.[/quote]

OP here.  I'm not about maligning Muslims, but this is a sectarian conflict, and it's along religious lines.  If you are describing a hate crime against black people, your assumption is not that other black people did it.  This is what is happening in Egypt: a Muslim majority is allowing the ethnic cleansing of a Christian minority.  If we were talking about a country where a Christian majority was allowing the ethnic cleansing of a Muslim minority, I would not protest those words being used.  They are just the facts.  This is just what is happening.  If your conclusion is that all Muslims are evil, that's an ignorant way of thinking, and it's on you. [/quote]
