Blame the Christians
(Change Jews to Christians)
That's because it's pretty hard to blame the Jews in Egypt since there really aren't any. They were driven out of Arab lands back around 1948. A few Christians are there, however, so they are a convenient scapegoat. In Egypt, they still make up 9%. (Expect that number to go down fast.) Fox News, virtually the only major mainstream network covering this story, has a report on the efforts of the Muslim Brotherhood to blame the military coup on the Coptic Christians.

Here is an updated report from the Swedish blog, Jihad i Malmo. The beginning text is in Swedish, but the accompanying video is from BBC in English. It concerns the burning of a church in a small village.

Is it not sad that if you want to follow this on-going saga, you either have to go to the blogosphere or Fox News?
