Egypt Attack: 235 dead, 109 injured
So they decided to go after the Sufis now? It's one of the largest attacks in the countries history, gunmen open fire after they flee from the mosque

President Sisi says Isis will pay.
And according to the New York Times, Isis has more in common with Sisi than being spelled backwards.
If this seems an inappropriate thing to point out, I appologize. But from the sounds of it, Sisi is exactly the type to use a tragedy to oppress his people even more.
The first revolution brought them terrorism, the second revolution made them poor.
Sad state of affairs, perhaps one of the worst nights of my life was the first night of the second revolution when I was living in Maadi, the Police had left the streets as the Army was taking over and the Prison in Maadi was left unattended. Evert inmate simply walked out. Most were never recaught it was at that point by company moved me to Hurghada for 2 weeks in a 5-star hotel whilst it all settled down.
The whole of the following year, the Police station on the Maadi Corniche was shot up bi-monthly.
Egypt is much worse than reported and I was there very recently.

Good to see everyone gives a shit about the victims and is immediately politicizing this. Christ, maybe give it a fucking day or two?

Even those people give normally give it a bit. Actually, most do. Even most initial reports from various media outlets are just the facts and nature of the incident. Then, after some time has passed, gun control is discussed.
Oh, believe me. JKBart might say otherwise but humor isn't some exemption for someone who wishes to make a legitimate point. It's crazy that a lot of people still think that.

At best, your point, here, is very weak. The attack was theopolitically motivated. Not involving politics in the discussion makes no sense.
Also, you can be sorry for the victims and still talk about the politics involved, too: they are not mutually exclusive.
Edit - Never mind, you're talking to a racist f*cktard. Carry on taking the piss out of him.

My point might be weak if that was, in fact, my point. The word "immediately" in my initial post is what gives you an idea about where I'm coming from.
All I am saying is to give it a bit of time before delving into that and that most journalists normally do this as well by merely reporting the state of the incident, lightly speculating on motivation before commenting further and/or elaborting on the political/moral/whatever concerning the situation. From my point of view, empathy should precede discussion, particularly with a tragedy of this magnitude.
This shit:

This showcases a lack of empathy for the victims. Shit like this, this soon, is trying to prove a point (a shit one, at that) at the expense of a horrible tragedy.
