“Egyptian TV”—demonstrating, unsurprisingly, that state-run media always serve dictatorial regimes—merely propagated the lies of the Military Council.
Even as armored vehicles were mowing down Christian protesters, Egyptian TV broadcast footage of reporters saying, “Help, the Copts are killing our heroic, patriotic soldiers and burning Qurans!” One segment on Egyptian TV had an outraged reporter condemning Christians—“as if they were the Israeli enemy”—for killing “our noble protectors [soldiers], who never once fired a single shot.” As a result, many Muslims took to the streets brutally attacking Christians and their property.
Egyptian TV also lied by saying three soldiers died at the hands of Copts: officials at the TV station later confessed to making it up. That, however, did not stop a barrage of op-eds in Egypt blaming the Christians for their own massacre.
Due to Egyptian TV’s misinformation, several Egyptian reporters unequivocally condemned it. Anchorwoman Dina Rasmi said: “I am ashamed that I work at this despicable TV channel… Egyptian TV was effectively calling for civil war between Muslims and Christians… Egyptian TV has proven that it is a slave to those who rule.” Another news anchor, Mahmoud Yousif, announced that he “washes his hands of what Egyptian TV is broadcasting.”
Anti-Christian Hate
Although it should be clear that anti-Christian sentiment fueled this latest Muslim slaughter of Christian minorities, a few specifics follow:
- Soldiers screamed “Allahu Akbar!” (Islam’s primordial war-cry), and cursed “Infidels!” as they approached and attacked the protesters—which of course is not so unexpected when one considers that, even in olden times and in movies, the Egyptian military was called the Jihadiyya (the organization that wages holy war).
- A video of a soldier boasting that he shot a Christian in the chest is greeted by the crowd around him with “Allahu Akbar!”
- After the incident, Dr. Hind Hanafi, president of the University of Cairo, recommended separating wounded Christians from wounded Muslims admitted into the hospital, thereby institutionalizing religious discrimination, even in hospitals.
Conclusion
A massacre at this level never occurred during the thirty-year reign of ousted president Hosni Mubarak, and yet Mubarak is being charged with “crimes against Egyptians.” What about the Military Council? It has committed greater crimes—even though it has been in charge for less than a year. Saddam Hussein was condemned by the international community for using chemicals on his own people; where are the international community, the media, and the so-called human rights groups when it comes to a government running over its own civilians with armored vehicles and having “death squads” of snipers shooting at them?
Finally, if this report testifies to crimes against humanity, consider what it says about diplomacy: If Egyptian leadership lies and deceives to suppress its internal “infidel” citizens—whose “crime” was to object to the continual destruction of their churches—how credible can it be to external “infidels,” Israel and the U.S.?

Pontius Pilate ring a bell?
Well, where’s the outrage at the slaughter of innocent civilians?
When is NATO going to start conducting airstrike’s to quell this obvious attack on unarmed protestors?
Well, what’s up?
Certainly the Obama administration can’t let this go unanswered? We have to face this naked agression.
I won’t hold my breath. I guess the lives of certain innocent civilians aren’t worth the effort.
What are you thinking. BHO LOVES this. As a muslim he is doing every day what the queran commands. Deceive, lie, cheat, steal and destroy from within. Americans are such fools and will re-elect him next year and seal their fate to the Caliph. I have been on that side and know well what he is doing.
My book, "Satan's Trinity: Hitler, Stalin & Muhammad, is available at http://satanstrinity.wordpress.com/ For the first time in history "HSM" appear together on a book cover. The idea behind the book is to make headway against the ludicrous idea that Muhammad should be conjoined with any religious leader/founder. This book uses the specific names of Hitler and Stalin to efficiently identify the nature of Muhammad and by extension Islam. It compares the personalities and approach of each man to such categories as; war, peace, sex, torture, slavery, women, their respective childhoods and deaths, the critical affects of geography and timing, each man’s anti-social and narcissistic personalities.

You know, we may have this all wrong. Maybe their churches blocked out some sunlight from hitting a flower garden. Are you against a flower garden?!? They HAD to burn the churches down…what is brick and mortar compared to the life of a flower? Perhaps the Coptic Christians had a cartoon of Mad Mo. You see? We don't always get the whole story…maybe they "had it coming" for such an offense would render them no longer innocent. We just misunderstand the "Religion of Peace."
Don’t worry though; your TAX DOLLARS will still go to good use…Allah willing! (as they laugh all the way to the bank).
When the Egyptian Military savage Egyptian citizens it tells you that non Muslim
people have no citizenship in Islam and are targets for any rabid mob out screaming
from the Mosque in overwhelming displays of peace and brotherly love, the picture
above tells all, what a hellish part of the World, Israel must see this and know that
when they fight the Islamist barbarians they are who make retribution for innocent
blood……………………………..William
"I breathed a sigh of relief. Nothing much had changed, the Copts were safe for now." Are you saying you were taken in? How can anyone, especially readers of JW be so naive? Even some of the mainstream media, like SUNTV in Canada are reporting what was only available online from the ME sources according to which more than 100,000 Copts have fled the country since March of this year.
we should be sending this to the newspapers. Carrying signs showing Islam at work when they start demanding more rights. Show up where they are demanding foot baths, prayer in our schools, for them only, and help people understand Islam, for it is NOT a religion.
Send this to politicians who think we are Islamophobic. Show them the murdered bodies.
When wull it be released in egypt ?
