Damn the Media; Damn Muslims

Nice trick here ... where CTV refers to violence in Egypt as a "clash" (which suggests equal guilt); CTV just about chokes on its own guano attempting to turn the story into a simple case of violence among equally guilty antagonists, but fortunately the facts are so overwhelmingly clear, that even CTV can't water down what's happening.

The reality is that Muslims have been attacking and murdering Christians in Egypt for a long time now, and it's getting worse. It's purely a case of Christians defending themselves against post-modern fascism (Islam) ... just as in the rest of Africa the Muslim horde is slowing and surely squeezing the life out of all other religious groups.

The bubble heads at CTV don't even stop long enough to let their common sense engage ... which screams at us that only the utterly suicidal would "clash" or "riot" against a Muslim state, where Christians are a tiny minority, confined to ghettos, surrounded by barbarians.  The least that the "progressives" at CTV could do, would be to clearly innumerate the dire and deadly circumstances that Christians find themselves in.  In the past, we would've called that "context".

This piece consists of classic "progressive" watering down of fact that should've been simple to enunciate: 1) Christians are under attack in Egypt  2) They are in desperate straights  3) They are simply defending themselves and they are "victims" while the Muslim state is the "antagonist".

Religious tension continues to seethe in Egypt after a violent clash between Christians and Muslims left ten dead and 190 arrested, heading for military trials.

The county's military rulers reacted swiftly after an attempt to burn down two churches set off a riot in a Cairo slum.

Mobs of ultraconservative Muslims from the Salafi religious trend converged on a church in the slum of Imbaba late Saturday following rumours of an interfaith romance.

Christians barricaded themselves inside and around the church when the demonstrations turned violent. Witnesses said people on rooftops fired into the crowd.

At least six of the dead were Muslims.

The incident follows the bombing of a church on New Year's day that left 21 dead and sparked clashes between the country's minority Christians and riot police.

"This is something that's very much seething underneath," said CTV's Martin Seemungal, reporting from Jerusalem, noting that since Egypt's recent revolution, "people are wondering, and Christians in particular are very concerned, how they are going to be treated in a new Egypt."

The military said the mass arrests were to deter people from threatening the nation's security. Military trials are notorious for their speed.
