20,000 Muslims attack Christian church in Egypt

More disturbing — but telling — details regarding this story. “20,000 Muslims Attack a Church in Cairo,” from AINA, November 26:

One thousand Christians were today trapped inside the Coptic Orthodox Church of the Virgin Mary in West Ain Shams,Cairo, after more than twenty thousand Muslims attacked them with stones and butane gas cylinders. The Church’s priest Father Antonious said that the situation is extremely dangerous.

Meanwhile, the Egyptian, and soon to follow, no doubt, Western press, portray this as “sectarian strife” where both sides, Muslims and Christians, are equally guilty of “intolerance.”

2nd update, Message from Chabad:

At this moment, police commandoes are trying to regain control over the Chabad House and have managed to injure or kill one of the terrorists inside.

Reports are stating that numbers of Israeli travellers as well as the local Chabad emissary along with his wife and young child have not yet been accounted for.

Their whereabouts is unknown. It is possible that they are hostages in their own Chabad House.

 

Please take a moment to recite Tehillim (Psalms) for Gavriel Noach ben Freida Bluma, his wife Rivka bas Yehudis and their son Moshe Tzvi ben Rivka along with all the other Israeli travellers and for all the others who are in danger at this time.

Update:

Islamic terrorists also attacked police headquarters in south Mumbai, the area where most of the attacks, which began late Wednesday and continued into Thursday morning, took place.

“We are under fire, there is shooting at the gate,” said a constable, A. Shetti, by phone from police headquarters.

From Chabad Lubavitch

Search for Chabad Family in Mumbai After Terrorist Strike MUMBAI, INDIA — (November 26, 2008) T  he situation is grim late Wednesday in Mumbai (Bombay) India where reports of more than 80 dead and 250 wounded are seeping out of the beleaguered city. Of great concern is the silence from Chabad’s representatives to Mumbai, RabbiGavriel and Rivka Holtzberg. No one from the Chabad center has been heard from since the attacks. The dead and wounded are victims of a sophisticated plot in which seven locations throughout the city were attacked by terrorists. Several of the city’s most exclusive hotels, a restaurant, train station, and hotel were bombed. The attacks come as the country is consumed by controversial elections.       Photo 1 of 1 The city, which is India’s financial capital, plays host to many foreigners and their embassies are assisting in the search and rescue efforts. Lubavitch personnel in Bangkok, Israel and New York are working closely with the Israeli Foreign Ministry and  the U.S. government to help establish contact with the Holtzbergs and other missing persons in the Chabad House area. Mumbai’s Chabad House, situated near the sites of destruction, is a popular stop for Israeli tourists. The Holtzbergs offer a host of programs, including providing kosher food, to locals and visitors alike.

Mass murder in Mumbai

Ripped from Andrew Bolt

 

Terrible news from Mumbai:

Over 60 people have been killed and many more injured in several terrorist attacks in Mumbai on Wednesday night. Two five-star hotels – Trident and Taj – are under siege and gunmen are reported to have held the occupants hostage.

The choice of targets (some guaranteed to scare foreigners) and the coordination naturally suggest a terrorist group.

UPDATE

A claim of resposibility has been made via email by a group called Dekhan Hujahedin.

UPDATE 2

The gunmen were specifically targeting Britons and Americans and a top police official said the gunmen are holding hostages at two luxury hotels, the Taj Mahal and Oberoi hotels.

UPDATE 3

At least 20 Australians have been caught up in the chaos and two Australians were injured, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said… At least 20 Australians were in the Oberoi Hotel at the time of the attack, all of them members of a NSW trade delegation organised by the Department of State and Regional Development.

UPDATE 4

* The inevitable result of allowing large numbers of Muhammedans to settle  (or, as in the case of India, to remain) behind enemy lines:
