WTC mosque protestors from Egypt harassed by the non-Arab
protestors...the irony is amazing. Here's the story:



At one point, a portion of the crowd menacingly surrounded two Egyptian men who were speaking Arabic and were thought to be Muslims.

"Go home," several shouted from the crowd.

"Get out," others shouted.

In fact, the two men " Joseph Nassralla and Karam El Masry -- were not Muslims at all. They turned out to be Egyptian Coptic Christians who work for a California-based Christian satellite TV station called "The Way." Both said they had come to protest the mosque.

1. Ha! I love the irony
There are many Arab Christian denominations - Druze, Coptic, Nasrani, Arab Orthodox...

But of course, to the mouth-breathers, ALL Arabs are "muslins".

3. None of those sects are "real" Christians, anyway. They're less godly than
the Catholics to the average mouth-breather, and little better or different from Muslims or pagans or Hindus.

Fundie Xtians only recognize fundie Xtian churches as legitimate religion - all other is false.
