Men, women and children filed in to Cairo's Coptic Christian chapel on Sunday morning, taking a moment of respite from the bustle of the Egyptian capital's busy streets.

Situated in a complex at St Mark's Cathedral, the congregation was worshipping near the seat of the Coptic pope and the heart of their religion.

Minutes later, a blast ripped through the congregation, on the side of the church usually used by women and wounding scores of others in an attack that was chilling even by the bloody standards of Egypt's recent history.

ISIS claims responsibility for Palm Sunday church bombings in Egypt

The death toll rose to at least 49 Monday, state media reported. At least 27 people died in a blast inside a church in the northern city of Tanta, and 78 people were injured, according to Egypt's state-run news agency Al-Ahram. In Alexandria, 18 civilians and four police officers were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up outside a Coptic church, Al-Ahram said.

Obama's Muslim Brotherhood at work
 
But doing anything against the Muslim community during Ramadan would be racist and offensive.
 
Just pure evil. All for what? Absolutely nothing. Just to kill innocent people because some nut job false prophet said it was ok.

Not only is it ok, it's required good behavior.

But, but but .... the Crusades!
 
Terrorism is bad enough, but to do it on a holiday in a sanctuary place of worship is the lowest.
 
The video of the guy blowing himself up with some security guards around him is just horrific. And that was the guy that DIDN'T make it into a church....
