Police claim he carried out the violent attack because of mental health issues. However, local believers dispute such an explanation, calling it a thinly veiled attempt to hide the Islamic extremism prevalent across Egypt.

Egypt: Man Wielding ‘Sharp Tool,’ Quran Attacks Christians at Prayer Service

Christian worshipers in Cairo, Egypt, were left injured after a man wielding a “sharp tool” and a Quran attacked them during a prayer service as he shouted “Allah is great.”

International Christian Concern reports that on Nov. 11, a 22-year-old man entered the Church of St. George through a room intended for baking bread for the Lord’s Supper during a prayer service. The intruder hit the baker on the head with an iron rod while shouting, “Allah is great.” When another Christian attempted to rescue the baker, he was also injured.

Police arrived at the scene and arrested the man, claiming he carried out the violent attack because of mental health problems and drug use. However, local believers dispute such an explanation, calling it a thinly veiled attempt to hide the Islamic extremism prevalent across Egypt.

“The media uses words which don’t reveal the truth,” one local believer told ICC. “Now we have discovered that that this was a young man, not an old one. Also, he was holding a Quran and sharp tool [while] injuring some people on their heads. The media’s role is to reveal the reality and not to hide information to make the Coptic Christians] calm down.”

Another local Christian, Majeed, added, “It’s too awful. I can’t imagine that we should adapt to these incidents. Lies and lies and lies. … I’m sure that this criminal will not be punished.”

“Mentally ill, what?! How the media manipulates us!” exclaimed Hani, another local Christian.

Claire Evans, ICC’s regional manager, praised police for “responding quickly” to the incident at St. George’s Church, but urged the international community not to “forget the context of the attack.”

“It is not unusual for the Egyptian authorities to claim that something other than Islamic extremism drives the less publicized incidents of persecution,” she said. “The situation surrounding Egypt’s Christians will not improve unless there is honesty in confronting why these kinds of incidents happen. We must continue to keep Egypt’s Christians in our prayers.”

Remember Muslims murdering the “people of the book”, Jews and Christians has NOTHING to do with Islam.
It’s just your imagination. It is required that you think of them as “peaceful tolerant people” , right GWB? If you don’t you will be called an Islamophobe etc. and your feelings being hurt and oh the shame you will feel, will silence you. Muslims are marvelous people. Lol!

“allahkbar” is a scream of islamic joy, nothing to do with terror. Islam belongs in the west now, so you will be hearing “allahkbar” more often now, when it happens don’t run, just stay there and don’t be islamophobic

When you scream “allahkbar”, you are worshiping a false god, namely satan. Your god is powerless, and can do nothing. But with the mere breath of the Almighty, people and nations are destroyed. It will do you good to repent, and to surrender your life to the One who gives life, that you may have it more abundantly.

Men were instilled with the knowledge to know the difference between right and wrong. Terror and killing are wrong. Impeding other people’s rights is called enslavement. It is wrong. People should have free choice on many issues, religion being at top of the list.

Now you see why I carry a legally licensed concealed handgun on me everywhere I go, especially to church.

Never bring a machete to a gunfight.

Be safe, be trained, be alert.

The police in other countries learned quickly from the sniveling law enforcement in UK and US. They have adopted the “mental illness” excuse for violent jihad. The diagnosis is correct, they are mentally ill, but it IS caused by their beliefs in their so-called “religion of peace”. Anybody that still uses the religion of peace description is a useful stooge.
