"In Dalga, a village in southern Minya governorate, three witnesses told Human Rights Watch that mobs attacked churches and Coptic homes as soon as the news of the Cairo sit-in dispersal reached residents of the town. Gamil Nagih, 21, said that at 7:45 a.m. he heard the imam of a nearby mosque announce over the mosque loudspeakers, “Go help your brothers in Rab’a.” At 9 a.m. he said, he saw thousands of men gathering outside Saints Mary and Ibram church. The men broke the through doors while shouting “Islamic, Islamic,” he said. The attackers then looted the church and set it on fire. The attackers also torched 20 Coptic homes and looted and burned Coptic-owned shops in the area, he said."
The below report comes from Human Rights Watch and concerns the attacks on Coptic Christian churches on-going in Egypt. It also accuses security personnel of inaction.

"A witness told Human Rights Watch that an imam at a mosque in the Cairo neighborhood of Maasara called over the mosque loudspeakers for the eviction of Coptic residents. Mina Lamie, 29, a neighborhood resident, said that on August 15 he heard the imam say, “The Copts are behind all of this, they participated on June 30 ... we have to burn the churches.” He said that at 11:30 p.m. thousands gathered and began chanting, “The people demand the eviction of the Copts.” No churches in the area were actually attacked, Lamie said."
"Joe Biden, John Kerry, James Clapper, and John Brennan et al". Yeah, what a team of stupids. Let us count the ways: 1), Joe Biden stated that Ben Laden was dead, claiming the same for al Qaeda; 2), John, Swift Boat, Kerry, who goes yachting and kiting when Egypt is in crisis; 3,) Clapper, who stated in front of Congress that the NSA does not spy on Americans; and 4), John Brennan who has made mistakes in the Middle East that has perhaps brought Obama to this point.
