(Cario) Eyptian TV channel Sada
al-Balad has suspended TV host Rasha Magdi hours after the mosque attack last Friday which
claimed over 300 lives when she stated that it is OK to attack ‘Christians’.
“We saw attacks by terrorists on the police and army, and we said this is mutual violence. These extremist groups have attacked churches and we said that they think it is a [different] religion, not Islam, and it is hostile to them, and then we said it is okay, but how [can these groups attack] Muslims?,”
She has since been suspended and is now awaiting an internal investigation on
her conduct. Funny enough this isn’t the first time Magdi has been caught
peddling hate speech towards non-Muslims when she worked for the state
television network, several legal cases were filed against her for inciting
hatred against Egypt’s Copic Christians, particularly regarding the killing by
the Egyptian army of more than 25 Christians during what has become known as
the Maspero massacre.
