Merry Christmas! Religion of Peace again Targets Nonviolent Christians

"People went in to church to pray to God but ended up as scattered limbs."

A bomb killed 21 people outside a Christian church in the Egyptian city of Alexandria yesterday, and the interior ministry said a foreign-backed suicide bomber may have been responsible.

The blast did not originate in any of the cars that were destroyed, a ministry statement said. “It is likely that the device which exploded was carried by a suicide bomber who died among others,” it added.

The circumstances of this and other recent attacks “clearly indicates that foreign elements undertook planning and execution,” said the statement.

The ministry said the blast, which wounded 70 people as worshippers left the church, had apparently been caused by a bomb in a car parked nearby.

Hundreds of Christians, who make up about 10% of Egypt’s mainly Muslim 79 million people, took to the streets in protest. Some Christians and Muslims pelted each other with rocks, a witness said, and cars were set on fire.

Militants left a bomb on the doorstep of the home of an elderly Christian couple and rang the doorbell.

When Fawzi Rahim, 76, and his 78-year-old wife Janet Mekha answered the doorbell Thursday night, the bomb exploded, killing them, Mekha's brother told The Associated Press on Friday. Three other people, apparently passers-by, were wounded.

"When I went there, I found both of them cut to pieces near the gate of their house," said the brother, Falah al-Tabbakh, 47, who had been at a funeral nearby in the eastern Baghdad district of Ghadir. He rushed to his sister's house after neighbors called him, and they told him what happened, he said.http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=101795064"People went in to church to pray to God but ended up as scattered limbs."... more

BREAKING NEWS:Female Suicide Bomber Kills At Least 45 In Pakistan.

http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/media/ALeqM5h3C2-j9qJwSof7A0zt_BR59iuEDw?docId=photo_1293254047163-2-0&size=l

KHAR, Pakistan — At least 45 people were killed in a suicide bombing Saturday in a northwestern Pakistani tribal area bordering Afghanistan, officials said.
The blast took place at a ration distribution point of the World Food Programme in Khar, the main town of lawless Bajaur tribal district.
"At least 41 people are dead and more than 60 wounded in suicide bombing," tribal administration official Sohail Khan said.
Doctor Mohammad Hafeez, head of the local state-run hospital, confirmed the death toll and said there were several women and children among the casualties.
Bajaur was once a stronghold of Taliban militants who have carried out several bombing and suicide attacks.
Pakistan's military first launched operations in Bajaur in August 2008 and have repeatedly claimed to have eliminated the Islamist militant threat.
The country's northwest tribal belt is a stronghold of homegrown Islamist militant groups and extremists who fled Afghanistan after the US-led invasion toppled the hardline Taliban regime in late 2001.
Around 4,000 people have died in suicide and bomb attacks across Pakistan since government forces raided an extremist mosque in Islamabad in 2007. The attacks have been blamed on networks linked to the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
Bajaur is one of seven Pakistani tribal districts. The United States considers Pakistan's tribal belt the global headquarters of Al-Qaeda and the most dangerous place on Earth.
US officials are putting pressure on Pakistan to launch a major ground offensive in the tribal region of North Waziristan, considered a fortress for Taliban groups fighting US-led troops in Afghanistan.
Pakistan vehemently denies accusations that it is not doing enough to eradicate the Taliban in the northwest, saying 2,421 troops have been killed in fighting Islamist militants from 2002 until April this year.
Pakistan supported the Taliban regime in Afghanistan from 1996-2001, but became a US ally after the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington by Al-Qaeda.http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/media/ALeqM5h3C2-j9qJwSof7A0zt_BR59iuEDw?docId=pho... more

After Attacks in Russia, Fears of Xenophobia

MOSCOW — Lilya Paizulayeva descended into the subway anxiously, trying to keep her distance from the crowds and the newly deployed and heavily armed police officers. She cringed at the train’s loud metallic shriek, pressing herself to the wall.

She was not scared of suicide bombers — she feared being taken for one herself.

With her jet-black hair and large dark eyes, Ms. Paizulayeva, a 26-year-old native of Chechnya, looks very much the daughter of Russia’s fiery North Caucasus region, from where, investigators say, two young women traveled to Moscow to blow themselves up last week in the rush-hour throngs, killing at least 40 people.

While for many the attacks are an unsettling reminder of the female suicide bombers who have terrorized this city for years, women from the Caucasus, particularly from Chechnya, say they worry about the return of the arbitrary arrests, xenophobic attacks and open hostility that many experienced after similar terrorist attacks in the past.

“Psychologically, I feel a kind of alarm inside,” said Ms. Paizulayeva, who was born in Chechnya’s capital, Grozny, and fled to Moscow in 1995 with her family when the war there started. “Though I’m dressed like a local, I think that perhaps someone could attack me in the metro,” she said. “This whole week I have felt like a stranger in this city.”

Though Russian citizens, Chechens and others from the North Caucasus are often seen as foreigners in Russia, especially here in the capital, and are frequently associated with immigrants from the countries of Central Asia that were former Soviet republics. More than 1,000 miles from Moscow, Chechnya has its own language, religion and customs, as well as a history of violent separatism that many in the rest of the country find alien in the best of times and threatening in the worst.

There have already been several reports of revenge attacks against people from the Caucasus in the wake of the bombings. Last week a brawl broke out on a subway train when a group of passengers insisted on inspecting the bags of several people who appeared to be from the Caucasus, according to the Sova Center, an organization that tracks xenophobic violence.

Attacks against people with darker skin and hair typical of those from the Caucasus are not uncommon in Russia.
