1. An act of murder by cowards that don't know how to
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.06.13)
stand up against an army - the way real men fight. It's time the army got down to brass tacks and arrest all the MB's in the country. But I guess that is near to impossible - so there will be some kind of civil war: pro's against anti's or army against muslims.
2. Egyptian army
albert snow ,   sweden   (07.06.13)
Egypt will soon have a bloody civil war like the one in Syria if the army don´t take care of the islamists. The egyptian army has to harshley crack down on their leaders, forbid the islamic parties and newspapers to act openly, arrest and punish all individuals that incite or acts against the new government. They must be intolerant against the intolerant if they want to create a democratic rule. If they don´t take to harsh methods we´ll soon see terrorattacks beginning to start, not only against copts but also in general. The idea to include the islamists for building a democratic state is stupid because islamists are against democracy and in favour of totalitarian rule. Try to do that and the situation in Egypt will be worse and totally out of order.

4. The muslims in Egypt will never forgive
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (07.06.13)
the Christian Copts for being the real descendants of the ancient Egyptians,while the muslims are the offspring of the barbarians from arabia.
5. first the Saturday people, then the sunday people
alsky ,   Torotno   (07.06.13)
since Egypt has ethnically cleansed its Jews, its now the Coptics' turn ! Islam at its finest !
6. Isaiah chapter 19: Egyptians war against Egyptians and
Rivkah   (07.06.13)
the Lord sends a deliverer for His people, possibly General Al Sisi will rescue the Coptic Christians from the Muslim Brotherhood but the Muslim Brotherhood must be banned again as it used to be and members arrested and kept in detention camps like Guantanomo's. Now the Copts are being shot, but shortly ago when Morsi ruled, the Coptic Christians of Egypt were being crucified and beheaded. The Muslim Brotherhood is becoming less barbaric with the world looking on.
7. #3 Richard: you're a childish idiot. there is nothing fun..
Rafi ,   US   (07.06.13)
... or enjoyable about human beings killing each other. Say what you say about the Egyptians and others could say the same about the Jews during the Holocaust. How humorous is that, jackass?
8. killing
sam ,   usa   (07.06.13)
and it was said the Islam is religion of peace but killing any infidel be it a priest wonder how many extra virgins are promised, look at the conditions of the worship houses in present Turkey, be it Christian or Jewish and you will learn about the so called tolerance of Islam, Jews and Christians are have suffered silently under the sword of the Caliphs for too long
9. To Rafi: 70m Died and They Laughed
Noah Lev ,   Losangeles   (07.06.13)
To Rafi, your comment is obvious, no one should condone killing. But would you not have applauded during WW2, when we invded Belgijm, Frande then the Rhineland, stopping the deaths of another 100m people planned by the Krauts? In 67, from Tunisia to Iran, "Jihad" was shouted in the streets/roof tops by the thought of so many dead Jews. The Grand Mufti went to Hitler to persude him to send 2 Waffen SS divisions to kill every Jew in the then Palestine..and stop Pollish children from escaping the gas chambers. Iran says that if attacked ( nuke sites) Israel will be destroyed in a few hours. Fatwas are issued daily against Jews, and Christians. People who draw inflammatory cartoons are beheaded. Abbas just gave a medal of Pales honor to the murderer of Israelis in the 70s incluidng many children..Guess its whose ox is being gored. Oh and Pales thew candy when 91 was bombeed, killing Zionists and others. Get real guy.. How many Syrain babies/children have been tortured by their own people..laughing im sure the entire time.doing this dastardly deed.. Talk about the immorality of killing...please.
10. go figure
sam ,   usa   (07.06.13)

13. Welcome to the ME
Arnold ,   Montreal, Canada   (07.07.13)
For all you Israeli bashers welcome to the ME. Israel is a democratic island of sanity in a sea of Islamic insanity.
14. It's all the priest's fault
Sigmund D ,   Chicago, USA   (07.07.13)
How dare he be Christian in a Muslim country. Why, that's almost as bad as being Jewish!
15. Sectarian Conflict
Manelis Angelakis ,   Athens, Greece   (07.12.13)
A very good article on the whole. My only peave is with the fact that you use the expression "sectarian conflict" (perhaps you forgot to change the Reuters report). It is not as if the Copts are armed or capable of defending themselves.
