The downward spiral - those few "jobs" being created are mostly at far lower wages and lesser skill sets than the jobs that vaporized when the robber barons gamed the economy into a trainwreck. The employment rate fails to include anyone who isn't signed into the process at "the employment bureau" in their state.

So.... Let me get this right, there was a car bombing in a church, then all of a sudden Christians and Muslims start pelting each other? Even setting more cars on fire? Now there is a major riot between Christians and Muslims sparking all over from that one car bombing?

For the past 30 years, Copts (which simply means Egyptian in the old Egyptian language), have been facing escalating daily harassment and persecution from the majority Muslim population, as well as blatant neglect if not half voiced persecution from the government. The latest major event was only about a month ago: Quote:

the Iraqi Christian population, since the fall of Saddam, has all but fled Iraq. and in Lebanon, which used to be Majority Christian a few decades ago, the same thing is happening, with Lebanese Christians leaving the country. thats what happens to people who can't defend themselves in the middle east.

if anything, this proves why its important for countries to identify themselves with religions all the more. the traditionally Christian countries should become more involved with what happens to their fellow worshipers. if western nations (formerly Christian nations) cared enough about the miss treatment of Christians in other parts of the world, the state of middle eastern Christians would be better off for it. as it stands, since its made clear that no one in the west gives a crap, the blood of middle eastern Christians is fair game. the reason Christians are now attacked with such frequency is in large part a result of an understanding among Muslim extremists in the middle east, that the west would keep quite about this kind of thing.

Hell, the people of Islam like to kill each other, Shia and Sunni, over technical differences in interpretation. Alignment of city-state with an official religion was a fundamental tenet of the Holy Roman Empire - which used it as a hammer to try and subjugate the world and eliminate all religious competition. Having a government prefer one religion over others is exactly the recipe that Egypt, Iraq, Iran, and a number of other countries use that give us these ridiculous headlines. As long as adherents of a religion are too insecure to suffer competition we have a problem.

i don't care about the interpretations of the doctrines. i'm an atheist, and view Judaism mostly as a national identity. but had this attack been in a Jewish temple in some other country, and 21 Jewish people were killed in it, i WOULD like for my government to make at least a token effort at hunting down and killing the people responsible for it. some might view it as harsh, but i view it as showing you care. I'm not saying a country should embrace specific doctrines regarding the religion, but i AM saying that countries who are predominantly Christian would care more about what happens to their fellow Christians overseas.
