I was so upset yesterday when I posted, that I really forgot to finish the last entry. I wanted to extend my deepest sympathies to all those affected by this tragedy, especially to those who lost loved ones. This is a disaster of international proportions, and it is also a horrendous and painful situation for those of us living in Egypt, whether Muslim or Christian or just plain human! In fact I cant imagine that a human did this...this is the work of an entity so evil...it is either Satan himself or one of his devout followers--I wouldn't even consider the perpetrator a human at this point.
I also wanted to mention the overwhelming majority of Christians and Muslims--and Jews and those of other faiths as well--live in Egypt as neighbors and friends. They share holidays, weddings, births, funerals, graduations--all life's events--as family, as loved ones. There is usually respect for all and between all religions here, aside from the usual few whackos (I guess we would call them "rednecks" back home) who hate anybody not exactly like them. Those people can be found in all races, cultures and countries though--it certainly isn't restricted to one place or time.
I guess my point is--in my own personal opinion--this crime comes from somewhere way beyond the scope of Egyptian citizens. This crime is a result of an interloper, be it human or Shaytan. There is some deep, dark reason this evil was carried out, and I don't believe for a moment it is as simple as someone hating Christian Egyptians. There's a reason for this known only to Allah. May He protect us and heal us as a nation, and as a national family.
