Seceterian Clashes in Egypt
The Egyptian toot bloggers have a lot to say about the seceterian clashes occuring between Muslims and Christians.
Check out Jar Il Qamar’s first-hand witness impressions of what happened (Arabic).
“تنتابني افكار عده .. و تصلني مشاعر متباينه .. غضب ديني؟؟ .. غضب من الحكومه ؟؟ غضب من سلبية قياداتهم ام غضب من امتهان انسانية جماعه لحساب اخرى ؟؟
كان غضب المتجمهرين اشبه ما يكون بغضب من رأيت من متظاهري كفايه .. لولا الطابع الديني .. كان البعض يطلب قدوم المحافظ .. و البعض يطلب وزير الداخليه شخصيا .. تحكي لي سيدة عن احباط غياب العداله : لو مسكوه بس و عرفنا انه اتحاسب حاستريح
..
يزداد عدد المتجمهرين و يزداد اللغط بينهم .. حتى الآن لم يتطور الموقف الى هتافات او شعارات .. مناوشات هنا و هناك فحسب .. شكوى بالظلم .. سيدات من اقارب القتيل يبكين .. و رجال يصرخون بعصبيه ”
Freedom for Egyptians:
“The illogical vague explanation and handling of the Egyptian official media and the government to the Alexandria violence is not helping any party. In fact, it leaves lots of unanswered questions and rooms for rumors to flame more violence.
Some other funny official stories blamed Friday violence on Denmark’s Muhammed Cartoons. Should we understand that if they were not published Egyptian Copts would have enjoyed equal rights and full-fledged citizenhip? The easiest way to escape taking responsibility and taking responsibility seriously is to lay the blame on others.”
Justice for All:
هذه الهمجية الوحشية القذرة….هذا الفعل الوسخ العفن ..وهذا السلوك اللعين ..يحتاج من كل مسلم في مصر ان يقف مع نفسه ويسال ..ماهذا بحق الله ؟. كيف يمكن ان يصنع هذا بشرا فضلا عن ان يكون مسلم ؟
ماهذا الخراء بحق الله ؟
اي دين تؤمنون به ؟؟؟واي مبادئ واي وطنية ؟
ما هذا العته ؟؟؟
ماذا جري لكم ما مسلمين ؟؟؟؟
نكستم دينكم في الارض والله…وانتهكتم حرمة الله سواء الذي فعل الجريمة او ارتضاها او تواطئ فيها او بررها او شارك في صناعة الاسباب التي ادت اليها
ما هذا ؟ اي حب لمحمد ؟ واي جهاد ؟ ما هذا الخراء الذي تلطخوه بالله ورسوله كلما ” حزقتك ” خراءة تسميها دينية”
Big Pharaoh:
“Today I am ashamed to be called an Egyptian. This happening in my country??!! Someone please wake me from this nightmare. In the absence of a Cross, Quran, or a banner, you couldn’t really differentiate between the two.”
Finally, here is a little from the Sandmonkey on how local Egyptian media is dealing:
“The local media disgusts me. I sat down yesterday trying to see any coverage on any of the national or satelite News channels about the clashes that were occuring yesterday and there was nothing. Zip, Zilch, Nada. No one mentioned it in details, just in passing. Instead our great egyptian TV gave us the Miss Egypt contest, which was really awful, because the girls were FUGLY. Check out the contestents here and weep. The country was very normal, as if nothing happend in Alex at all. On the surface everything was calm in Cairo.
Well, this shit did happen, and it might continue happening today. And since our national and international media don’t want to show the images of yesterday’s clashes, I will right here. Just because you didn’t see it on TV, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen people. God bless blogs, because the media sucks. There you go!”
