In yet another coldblooded attempt on the life of a Christian, a Muslim man recently attempted to slaughter a Coptic Christian woman—in broad daylight and in the middle of a busy street in Egypt.
Reports of this latest instance of anti-Christian sentiment in Egypt began appearing Tuesday and have since been confirmed by local authorities.
Mary Gamil, the Christian woman, was walking in the neighborhood of al-Waraq, in Giza, when a man began to sexual harass her. When she rebuffed him, a verbal altercation ensued; then the man grabbed and forced her to the ground and began carving at her jugular with a knife. He made a deep gash in her throat and nearly killed her, but passersby intervened in time and held the man until authorities arrived.
Police have since said that the man, Mamdouh Ramadan, 36, a local to the area, suffers from “mental disorders.”
Be that as it may, this attack fits the profile of several other murderous attacks on Copts in recent weeks and months and in every corner of the country—Sinai, Upper and Lower Egypt—attacks which saw the Christian victims murdered in broad daylight and in busy streets, ritually slaughtered in their homes, or, in one instance, burned alive.

Is the passerby intervention an anomaly?

Yet another case a Muslim trying to kill a Christian while under the influence “mental disorder(s)”.
Interesting how often this particular symptom of “mental disorder” seems to afflict Muslims. Has anyone studied this phenomenon?

They’re all mental anyway.

I thing that on every mosque entrance should be written “Staying inside can seriously damage your mental health”. Like on cigarette boxes.

The passerbys show that humanity, created in the image of God, can trump a belief-system. May God have mercy on muslims who suffer under an oppressive belief system, closed to enquiry of truth and change–baab al-ijtihaad maqfuul.

PS: the picture appears to be a shoulder upside down.

What a sick culture and what a sick religion when someone thinks they are “worshiping & honoring their supreme being” by killing a harmless neighbor.

The whole damn race have a “mental disorder” they should all be treated like rabid dogs!!! The only cure for this type of affliction is the old standard lead pill remedy!! Which comes in a variety of prescriptions from .17hmr up to 60mm!!! Just depends on size weight and number of patients being treated at the time!!!
