Christian Fish vs. Muslim Shark
When Coptic Christians in Egypt began putting fish bumper stickers on their cars as a symbol of their faith, Muslims responded in their well-known peaceful way—with fish-hungry sharks: Stickers Produce Unique Battle in Egypt. (Hat tip: newscaper.) The AP headline is incorrect; there’s nothing unique about this battle. It’s simply another manifestation of the violent, supremacist nature of the Religion of Peace, and as the quote below illustrates, it’s intended to intimidate Egyptian Christians.
“All I wanted to say is that I am a Christian, kind of expressing my Coptic identity,” said 25-year-old Miriam Greiss, who has a fish sticker on her car. “I think choosing a shark doesn’t make sense, as if someone is saying, `I am a violent, bloody creature, look at me.’”Emad, a Muslim, laughed when asked about the competing symbols but was unapologetic about the two shark stickers on his car.
“The Christians had the fish so we responded with the shark. If they want to portray themselves as weak fishes, OK. We are the strongest,” said Emad, who would give only his first name.
