Why do you keep posting threads about Christians being killed in this forum Jobee? It's creepy man.

I'll leave it open for a bit so he can enlighten us.

Perhaps you mean well, Jobee? But as I've said to you before, the whole point of a discussion forum is that you give us your opinions in your own threads.

CAIRO — A policeman shot dead a Christian on a train in Egypt Tuesday and wounded five other people, including the man's wife, as tensions remain high after a New Year's church bombing killed 21 people, the interior ministry said.

The shooter's motives were not immediately clear, but the ministry said at least four of the five people hurt were Coptic Christians.

And a Coptic bishop told AFP that the gunman, named by the ministry as Amer Ashur Abdel Zaher, had sought out Christians on board the train and shouted a Muslim slogan -- Allahu Akbar (God is greatest) -- as he opened fire.

The policeman, who was said to be on his way to work, boarded a stationary Cairo-bound train at Samalut, in the southern Minya province, and began shooting with his service weapon, the ministry said.

He killed Fathi Said Ebeid, aged 71, and wounded his 61-year-old wife.
Two of the others wounded were said to be in critical condition.

The policeman, who was not in uniform, got off the train after the attack and tried to flee but was arrested inside the station.

He was being questioned by the authorities to find out if he carried out the attack for religious reasons.

Bishop Morcos, who serves with the Coptic church in Samalut, said he had spoken to witnesses after the shooting.

"This lunatic went up and down the coach looking for Christians," the bishop recounted what he was told.

"Seeing a group of girls and women who were not wearing the (Islamic) veil, he took them for Christians and fired, shouting Allahu Akbar."

Religion does not mean peace, let us try and unraffle the confusion about religion. The religion's' are different power forces.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

Are you the Sphinx?

I see no reason to keep this thread open.

Nobody here thinks that the general concept of religion brings peace. In fact it's like discussing whether 'politics' is good or not.

Some religion, like some politics, is incredibly destructive. And some religion, as with the Quakers or the faith of Martin Luther King, brings love, reconciliation and peace.

This board is for the discussion of Christian issues, not a platform to try to make some point about religion in general. You can go to A&A for that kind of stuff.
