Comments on: Army and police massacre protesters at Maspero

The mask slipped, for me, as early as March 19, when our heroic army officers undertook to subject female protesters to “virginity tests” and male protesters to electric shocks and beatings. I was still naive enough to be utterly shocked that the SCAF generals defended the abusers. Since then, the treasonous SCAF and its pet government have sunk further and further into evil.

Following the pattern of their mentor, Mubarak, our military tyrants have now engineered a “sectarian” crisis to distract people from our real and only enemy: the foreign-sponsored and financed military dictatorship that is killing us, in every way possible.

I will scream if I hear another statement issued by the SCAF assuring the public that they will bring the criminal perpetrators of crimes at Maspero to justice. As though the coldblooded murder of civilians using army tanks doesn’t count as a crime. As has been thoroughly documented in raw video footage, THEY are the criminals, and there are 329 wounded and at least 24 mutilated corpses to prove it.

this is all true the christians are suffering! they are being attacked by the army! however when the muslims had a deathly protest, the army decided to protect them! But when christians decide to have a peaceful protest: to stop others from burning down holy churches, they are attacked! why? does this look fair?? But Our Lord Jesus Christ will show them when he comes to save his people from the evil that has been brought upon the innocent coptic orthodox people. Amen.

SCAF is either stupid,
a saboteur of democratic transition by divide and conquer,
or adding one file to the chaos to make it impossible for it to leave power, just like Mubarak.
The stupidity is beyond measures. SCAf is even acting his own interest by alientating Western allies.

“salafis” is that what they call people dressed as orthodox Muslims who work for imperial intelligence agencies nowadayz?
How convenient this must be before election time, for Tantawi and his masters who pay his checks!

@Gary McNally: Yes, this is entirely true. Salafis spent from 3 to 5 hours tearing down a church for no reason. The army did nothing to stop them, and this is what ignited the protests.

Just saw a report about this on Sky News, <30 sec long and only said that violent protesters had been sprayed with teargas. What total bullshit!

What are the excuses the state are using? I saw a report on the BBC blaming Muslims for attacking a Copt church. Is there any truth in this or is it a lie to stir up sectarianism?

Are people in Egypt buying the state line?
