    Egypt Islamists Vow to Target Christians After Muslim Extremists Arrested in Delga

    After security forces stormed the village of Delga earlier this week and arrested a number of extremists wanted for assaulting police and vandalizing local churches, Egypt's Islamic party Gamaat Islamiya threatened to target Copts in retaliation.

    In a statement issued by its political arm, the Building and Development Party, it said: "Any harassment to Delga's locals will ignite a state of ill-feelings towards its Christian locals, which needs to be prevented."

    "The crackdown on Delga was made due to its anti-coup stance … ," according to the statement. "This campaign has proved that all claims of weapons stashed in the village are lies, as according to its announcement there was little or no resistance."

    "The Islamic current has been freed of charges accusing it of assaulting Christians; as the attacks were made by thugs who have strong ties to security services," the statement continued.

    "These campaigns on villages that oppose the coup, in order to terrorize them, have failed. Instead, Delga's locals demonstrated the same day the village was stormed, making it a symbol of steadfastness," the statement concluded.

    Copts in the village of Delga had been blockaded in by Islamists, who harass them, attack their homes and businesses and force them to pay "Jiziya," a religious extortion tax. Several homes, and churches were also been looted and burned.

    The conflict has resulted in the emigration of more than half of Delga Copts to other cities and villages since the ouster of Mohammed Morsi and the breakup of the Brotherhood sit-ins in Rabaa Adaweya Square in Cairo and Nahda Square in Giza on August 14.

    BigTexxx and Aroundtheworld posting anti Islam propoganda day after day. I'm not really sure what purpose it serves at this point.

    Nobody on this forum is defending extremist Jihadi people that kill innocent people (most which happen to be innocent muslims). If your mission in life is to make everyone hate Islam then you guys are just wasting your time.

    I don't think people believed Bush when he said this would be a hard and long fight. Most people gave up after Iraq failed to produce WMDs. This war is certainly continuing, and we can't afford to back off now.

    Personally, I think it's about time we pull our funding from these nations who are barely lifting a finger when it comes to controlling extremists in their own country. We can not afford to clean up the ashes left from their ineptitude any longer. I still do not understand why we give so much money to nations like Pakistan.

    If the only reason you frequent these forums are to bash obama and muslims you really need to get a life.
