Egypt Sinai: Bomb and gun attack on mosque 'kills 85'

[B00Mer]

Suspected militants have launched a bomb and gun attack on a mosque in Egypt's North Sinai province, killing 85 people, the state news agency says.

Witnesses told Egyptian media it happened in the town of Bir al-Abed near al-Arish during Friday prayers.

Local police said men in four off-road vehicles opened fire on worshippers, AP reported.

Egypt has been fighting an Islamist insurgency in the region, which has intensified since 2013.

Some 80 people were also wounded in the attack, health officials said.

One report said the target appeared to be supporters of the security forces who were praying at the mosque.

President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi is to meet security officials to discuss the incident, Egypt's private Extra News TV reported.

Who are the Sinai militant groups?

Jihadist militants have been waging an insurgency in recent years, stepping up attacks after Egypt's military overthrew Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July 2013.

Hundreds of police, soldiers and civilians have been killed since then, mostly in attacks carried out by Sinai Province group, which is affiliated to so-called Islamic State (IS).

The orthodox mentality of religious fundamentalists that dictates whats approved and what's not needs to end. These aren't the Middle Ages anymore and you can't stop free thought or differences in opinions and beliefs.

Do Christians have inter-denomination wars like that?
I was thinking of Ireland and England but that might have been more political than religious

It was protestant against Catholic. The line was quite clear.

It must be an enormous relief to be able to exercise your pet hate after all the good, clean, white Christians mass-murdering lately.

Yeah Vegas and the Church shooting.. close to 100 people killed by a WASP.

"Non-Muslims make up the majority of terrorists in the United States: According to the FBI, 94% of terrorist attacks carried out in the United States from 1980 to 2005 have been by non-Muslims. This means that an American terrorist suspect is over nine times more likely to be a non-Muslim than a Muslim."​

Does this mean you'll be advocating discrimination on the basis of religion against atheists, too?

Idiot, most Americans know SFA about Eygpt.

The only way to escape from American bombs is to emigrate to America.

And on and on it goes.

I wonder how long it will take for Muslims to begin to realize that's it's the Islamic religion that inspires these terrorists to act out in this way.

I gues when you're stupid and blinded by religion, there is no hope.
