JAM ELEMENTS FOR THURSDAY 111013

Howdy… interesting and disturbing things going on here on the back lot.

 

PROMOLINE FOR Thursday 111013: Can’t quite track all the things we want to get on JUST A MINUTE but today’s program you’ll find a little different than the political things we’ve been dealing in. Stay with us for the (time) program and be sure to make a note of it. It’s not politics as usual on WMUU-FM 94.5 today. You’ll want to make a note of it.

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

VIOLENCE IN EGYPT BLAMED ON COPTS -- QUESTIONED

          Just a Minute: This news story is crowded off our networks by American politics. But violence in Egypt is reaching crisis proportions as the country’s ruling military council tries to calm its worst crisis since ex-President Hosni Mubarak, was forced out of power. The council denies it was responsible for the violence in which at least 25 people, mostly Coptic Christians, died over the weekend.

          The “Copts” claim to be descended from the apostle Mark’s early evangelical efforts in the first century – and were the majority of those claiming to be Christian in the 7^th and 8^th centuries, though they definitely constitute a minority in today‘s population.

          Most of those killed are likely Coptic protesters – except one or two soldiers -- Al-Ahram, Egypt’s largest newspaper, headlined “Violence and Blood in Coptic demonstrations…” The scenario – was very familiar under Mubarak’s regime. Amateur TV showed army vehicles recklessly driving amongst demonstrators trying to leap out of their way in terror.

          America supplies about 1.3 billion dollars of military aid each year. Let us pray today for peace in Egypt. <> I’m Jack Buttram.  (END)
