Thousands of Muslims move to protect Christians from attacks

[Todeswind]

The big difference is that while the liberal muslim population would be angry about the death of the coptic christians the moderates and conservatives would probably turn a blind eye to it. By having muslims in equal danger it brings the issue home and makes the moderates more likely to mobilize politically than they would otherwise.

This is probably going to be the most effective anti-terrorism measure ever (showing the terrorists with courage that most muslims don't want bomb attacks).

And an awesome display of unity.

Not had much experience with the extremist mindset have you? They are more than willing to kill people much closer to them theologically and culturally because they're not "true believers".

Except there is a government that is itching to use any excuse to swing the public behind them and attack Radical Islamists (who just happen to be the main threat to its rule).

That's why two of the president's sons turned turned up to the event.

I have no idea why you say "except" there at all. It seems to have nothing to do with what I said.

Damned impressive; this kind of thing restores some of my faith in humanity. I'll remember this the next time someone tries calling Islam a "religion of terror".
