(35,362 posts)After saying "X Copts killed by Islamists" it had to go into an equally long excursus on how the same group killed even more Muslims in the north of Sinai.
I inferred not so much that "this group is bad" but "please don't think they hold any animus against Xians, because that might make it religious."

(17,497 posts)The OP is not required to post that story or any other story. Your observation about Muslims being the #1 victim is correct. I don't understand why you imply that the OP should post links to other stories. If you want other stories linked, go for it. Post them.
