At least 28 dead in suspected terror attack on Christians

[Landon]

A team of gunmen opened fire on a bus carrying Coptic Christians south of Cairo Friday, killing at least 28, including children, and wounding 22 other people, Egyptian officials confirmed.

As many as 10 attackers in 3 SUVs stormed the bus dressed in military uniforms and wearing masks, according to witnesses. The victims were on their way to visit a monastery to pray. Only three children survived the attack, the Copts United news portal reported.

Video circulating on social media after the attack showed about the bodies of about 10 men scattered in the sand on the side of the road with pools of blood around them. Children hysterically screaming could be heard in the background. Local media also reported that the attackers were recording video themselves.

Coptic Christians have often become the primary target of the Islamic State in the region.

Well liberals? Here we are again. What do you propose we do about this? More candles? More crying? More hugging? More changing the profile pictures? I don't think so.

There's room for that after the fact. Let's do something about this. Remember what Dan said? We'd be right back here discussing the next one months away. (Well, he was partly wrong because this severe of an attack happened before his time limit expired.)


The very fact we're having to comfort each other every few months now shows the acceleration in attacks. Our response? More crying, more poems and more candles.

Current methods didn't work after the Manchester bombing, we need to change.

Dude this is in Egypt, don't drag us into this. And don't use people's deaths to shamelessly promote political beliefs. Not cool.

You're throwing the attack under the bus because you don't live there. Bigot and hypocrite.

Without promoting political beliefs during the attacks, nothing is ever done. No wonder they're still attacking. We're too busy grieving every time.

I'm not throwing it under the bus, I'm saying not to blame us. Learn to read.

Don't drag in the fact that nothing happened after the Manchester bombings? That right there is the reason why we still have attacks!

The reason we still have attacks is we're attacking them. What do you expect to happen?

Explain how? We don't know who they are so can't kill them.

Yes we do. They're radical Islamic terrorists. And we bomb the hell out of them.

[FlyingJesus]

You can't "bomb the hell out of them" if you don't know where they are. You seem to think they're a proper state based in one place with an evil lair that we can break into and steal their plans for world domination, but this is guerrilla warfare with moving targets who hide behind children when they get found. Also how exactly do you believe bombing a random middle eastern country will stop people born and raised in the country of attack from doing anything?

Sure we know where they are. Here's an example by quick search:

And to your random country point, I think that bombing would stop those that want to radicalize from doing so because they would have little support. Destroy the source.

Quite clearly this attack had nothing to do with Islam and it's inability to tolerate any other religions. This was obviously because of airstrikes or summat. Or maybe their parents were mean. Nothing to do with Islam though, that'd be racist.

What do you mean? Clarify that if you will. This was from a team of gunmen (religion yet to be determined) towards a bus full of Christians on their way to prayer.

No that's civilian areas that they're holed up in. You can't just murder everyone and claim it's a great job well done...

I don't know where this parents being mean thing keeps coming from, no-one's said anything like that except for you. Also nothing to do with racism, it's just being factual - if you don't actually follow a religion then you're not part of it even if you claim to be. Refer back to the militant Buddhist question which you spectacularly failed to solve

Oh, so the guy from the UK wasn't a radical Islamic terrorist, as they're all from Iraq and we know where and who the are. Gotcha.

Also, bombing them is a bit of a crap idea considering you're making civilians flee then complaining when they flee.

That's why we bomb and send in ground forces. Dealing with all possible situations.

That doesn't deal in any way with the guy who was born and raised in Manchester who set off the bomb in that attack. Fact is, not everyone who hurts people is an immigrant. Shocking I know

That's why we destroy the source to stop them from recruiting and sending orders as it is. Shocking idea I know.

You might as well invite Islamists to stay at your place as you cry and sympathize with their sickening ideology.

Love it, an American trying to tell me that people won't be violent killers without an outside foreign source making them do it.....................

Yeah but the outside sources make a big influence to Islamic terrorism. That's why they must be destroyed. Many problems will be solved.

You're so close-minded. Trying to discredit me because I'm an American. It's just like if I said look at that Englishman trying to tell me about my President and what I personally need to be feeling.. I guarantee you and hungryfront; would curse, call me an idiot, and scream bloody murder like you always do when you feel offended.

No, we scream bloody murder because you have guns everywhere. In 2013, there was 33636 deaths from guns in the US alone, and 73505 other injuries. What are we going to do, deport all white people?

As usual you completely miss the point. I stated your country of residence because of the enormous number of murders you have on a daily basis perpetrated by your own people with nothing to do with outside threats. I haven't said "haha Americans are stupid and cannot know things" as you seem to be suggesting

It's nothing like that and I've only once done that which you then tried to turn into an entire campaign of slander which was hilarious

No way, did you just assume the race of all Americans? You racist!

The fact of the matter is, those deaths are a combination of legals and illegals. Punish the legals with prison. Deport the illegals who weren't supposed to be here in the first place. Job taken care of.

But the fact of the matter is, without ISIS over there, there wouldn't be terrorism here. We need to target the source so that it doesn't "produce offspring" like it has.

[FlyingJesus]

But you don't have terrorism from outside sources to anywhere near the level we do, that's my point. You just shoot each other instead, and in far greater numbers. If everyone who'd ever thought IS were maybe ok vanished off the planet right now it wouldn't impact America's murder troubles at all

What hase Society Come To Good Writing landon, but i cant like this news

So you talk of outside sources being greater where you are. I believe you. What do you suggest happen about the issue where you live?

[Cabl]

Honestly this is all very shameful. But these attacks, will not stop. Nor will terrorist attacks. We're just one little dot in the human race. No one can stop these things no matter how many people get involve. If our say really mattered to them or to anyone in the world, life would be simpler. Spreading, posting disasters etc. Doesn't fix the fact it happened. Just reminds us what all we see in the news, tragedy. I'm sorry for Egypt. But if no one does anything, we're nothing. You say "Lets do something about this" What? What could we possibly do? NOTHING.

It's fair to do things constantly..its now international terrorism. We hv to fight against.

There's plenty we can do. Increase intelligence, actually give some good funding to our agencies and increase manpower. Mobilize for war on the outside sources of terror especially in the middle east and again increase intelligence in our homeland to stop these idiots from attacking. Yes, it's not easy. But sitting on our asses and not making an attempt to stop homegrown terror is our downfall.
