That is horrible. What can one say? Lord have mercy!
/(Ofcourse if it were the opposite way around, we would be hearing alot about it) / Ain't that the truth? if this kinda behaviour ain't demonic, nothing is.

The response of the interim president is a hopeful indication that the government will take this matter seriously. Thanks for posting that Samn, and welcome to the forum.
Many years,
Neil

In more Arab Spring-related news, there was an attempt to shoot the Greek priest in Tripoli, Libya this past week..... Greek story. English translation. On Wednesday, May 2, between 9:00 and 9:30 AM, when Fr. Joachim was entering the Church of St. George and was within the church's courtyard, a fanatic Muslim "brother"-- probably a foreigner and not a Libyan national-- fired a Kalashnikov at the priest from a building adjacent to the church.
The bullet struck ten centimeters in front of Fr. Joachim's feet, lodging itself in the floor.
