Christians targeted in Egypt

At least 21 people were killed and 50 injured on Sunday when an explosion rocked a Coptic church in Egypt's Nile Delta, state television reported, the latest assault on a religious minority that has increasingly been targeted by Islamist militants.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility and the cause of the blast, just one week before Coptic Easter and the same month that Pope Francis is scheduled to visit Egypt, was not known.

The bombing in Tanta, a Nile Delta city less than 100 kilometers outside Cairo, comes as Islamic State's branch in Egypt appears to be stepping up attacks on Christians and threatening them in messages blasted out to followers.

The message to Christians is pretty clear: Get Out.

Yes, the message to all non-Muslims is, as a matter of fact, very clear no matter WHERE they are.

Too right, mate. This is the new Cold War. Front lines are history,. Everywhere there is Islam could erupt into a warzone at any time.

Breitbart is just about the only English source covering that, too :/

It is a sad statement on the the credibility of the media when a right-leaning new agency is seeming to be the more legit one.
Right now I have to look at multiple sources to be confident in a news story and Breibart is one of them.
