Christians Targeted in Deadly Egypt Blast
A car exploded last November in front of a Coptic Christian church in Alexandria, Egypt, as worshipers emerge from a New Year’s Mass, killing more than 20 people and prompting a clash with Muslims at a nearby mosque.

Tolerance seems to be a one way street when 100,000 Christians are killed annually because of their faith, according to the Vatican reports. Human rights groups claim that anti-Christian violence is on the rise in muslim countries like Pakistan, Nigeria and Egypt. Vatican spokesman, Monsieur Silvano Maria Tomassi, said Tuesday in a radio address to the United Nations Human Rights Council:

Credible research has reached the shocking conclusion that an estimate of more than 100,000 Christians are violently killed because of some relation to their faith every year.

Tomassi also said:

On Saturday, just ahead of the scheduled meeting with President Obama, China accused the United States of “prejudice” after the U.S. State Department renewed a call for Beijing to fully account for its bloody crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators in June 1989.

In what the news cooperative’s top executive called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion,” the Justice Department monitored outgoing calls for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, for general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and for the main number for the AP in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP.

Most voters don’t approve of the U.S. Justice Department’s investigation of news reporters, and a plurality – 42% – now thinks the department’s boss, Attorney General Eric Holder, should resign.
