Glad to be informed about this. Thanks OP.

Coptic Cops.

Hero is not powerful enough for what they have sacrificed. True definition of a super hero
RVME
Kill people of other faiths. That works, huh? All of this is needless and shameful behavior.
Gauntlet2013
Respect, in many ways

doing their job.
flassk
what? in one casket? O.o

3 *people* who died defending *people*. Labels only separate us. Rest in peace, ladies, thank you for your sacrifice.

First read through I read "fighting" instead of defending and I was like wtf does this have 4000 upvotes

Egyptians honor 3 police officers who died defending people
Blacole1985
about time it was the other way around, amarite? Guys? Guys, why do you have pitchforks?!
ApparentlythenameEDistooshort
why can't it be just '3 Police women in egypt defending innocent human beings, in the line of duty? They are heros regardless!
Wednesdude
They were not defenders of another religion. They were defending other human beings. They were doing their job. They were saving lives.

Christians, Muslims, Hindus, whatever ... we are all brothers and sisters ... we should love & help each other ... thats the only duty ...
MonFabuleuxDestin
& the only truth behind all religions ... listen to your heart, your inner voice ... when religions become beliefs we are in danger ...
MonFabuleuxDestin
... being abused to fight for the prosperity & interests of others ... than we lose everything divine & human within us
frenchcook
and whatever paradise they believed in, may its gates be wide open and the choirs sing their welcome, as they rest at peace, honoured heroes

religion of peace strikes again!

May their name be shouted in the halls of Valhalla

If I were a Muslim and ended up there I don't think I'd be mad.
Ruhig
TFW you accidentally meet the criteria for the afterlife of a long-dead religion and end up there instead.

Shame we have to emphasize that it was muslims who protected christians.. Aren't we all human?
JensGespenst
Christian is a stupid name but three of them?
complimentpin
shhh don't tell the alt right that muslims died defending christians
dickblack12
I won't if you don't tell the left they were defending them from muslims.
complimentpin
shh don't tell anyone that both sides are delusional
digdoug78
TIL Egyptian women are tougher than Egyptian men.
Dogmoo
Why can't we just honor people defending people.
lambaroo
you could if people would stop classifying millions & millions of decent people as blood thirsty murderers because it simplifies an agenda
MagicBackPack
To be fair, underlining people bucking a trend or stereotype is a good thing as it shows people are capable of breaking the mold
27yoUGLYvirgin
What a stupid comment is that? Do you seriously not understand the significance of someone standing up for a minority vs. standing up for
27yoUGLYvirgin
another person?
BadImgurer
As a Christian, it doesn't matter to me who they defended. They should be honored regardless.
Pulkatiromon
As a Catholic, fck u christians
RyanGiggs11
But Catholics are Christians.
RedCrescent
At first, I read this as died defending Christmas.
Wadzirra
Ahaha, same!
sniffo
The war on christmas ended abruptly the other day, due to sexual harassment allegations interfering with multibillion dollar deal.

I laughed out loud while peeing. Thanks :)

Not all heros wear capes...some wear burkas

Not sure why I'm getting downvoted for referencing a Pakistani kid's show?
rocketman89
None of these women are wearing burqas.
dorklordsickus
Sorry for my ignorance, hijab
rocketman89
It's all good, man. I get you were going for a joke.
eith467
It shouldnt matter what religion they or the people they defended were, the act of the defense itself should be enough to honor them for.
madmattz
Absolutely
sleepswiththefishes
We don't hear enough about righteous muslims like this
WontSomeonePleaseThinkOfTheChildren
It shouldn't but it does.
ratpatoot1e
NOPE NOPE EVERYTHING HAS TO BE ALWAYS ABOUT RELIGION
LizardEnterprises
The President of the world's most powerful economy and military has said that he thinks Muslims hate "us". It fucking matters.
shadowex3
And we've got about a hundred polls from everyone from PEW to Al Jazeera proving he's right, to say nothing of their own daytime TV.
Vurmalkin
It shouldn't but in a country where Christians are easy targets, it is.
27yoUGLYvirgin
Obviously. But it's kind of even more brave/impressive to defend a minority everyone hates than to defend a majority.
eith467
Agreed, I guess if it hadnt been reported as such then we probably wouldnt be discussing it.
AdventuresofBluntmanandChronic
Not sure where you're generalizing but Christians aren't hated at all in Egypt. Christians are like 20% of the population and lived with us
shadowex3
It DOES matter considering the entire arab world is almost completely judenrein and on its way to being purged of christians too.
aninvisiblemaniac
they would have been honored anyway but not on as big a scale
27yoUGLYvirgin
I think it's great though, even if it was their job. It sets an example, it might make other people admire them and think of doing the same.
TwoVhsCopiesOfGoodfellas
No it's good they said the religions. The amount of Americans Ive argued with who believe all Muslims are terrorists.
zflazeda
yes but the narrative from "muslimvillage.com" is to show what good Muslims they are, nevermind the other atrocities
Shakazulakhan
The point is Christianity is very dangerous to believe in some places. The fact that a *likely* Muslim in an extremist area died for them
Shakazulakhan
Is amazing and touching.
TheMightyMoto
But sadly we have to point it out due to the hate filled climate we live in. There're people who believe all muslims want to kill christians
playstation360
Nah, only 70% or so.
BobaFettBobaFettWhere
Dude that Christian suicide bomber the other day who killed all those muslims... so sad!
shadowex3
Have you not noticed that the Jewish population of the muslim world is already gone, and the christian pop is fast disappearing?
TheMightyMoto
just going to walk away from this one :D
LizardEnterprises
And one of them is fucking President.
kmikl
They're morons, though. If all Muslims truly wanted them dead, they'd be dead.
RobertNAdams
lolwut. If it were bad enough for total war, the Muslim world would not win.
kmikl
Not really. You have no idea how squishy western countries are. Think the water you drink, and the food you eat.
RobertNAdams
Do you understand the concept of total war? That means literally out to completely destroy someone. It'd be a slaughter.
playstation360
Yeah, nah. If it comes to total war, the West has more experience, resources, and power.

I agree, it's worded very misleading. But one could just see it as they still defended a minority, no matter the reasons they did it.
imgurforants
The muslims that believe it's their duty to kill christians wouldn't care if they were cops or not. These people are heroes.
TheMightyMoto
Just because someone became a cop doesnt mean they can still be racist biased asshole bigots. Plenty of cops let evil happen they agree with
TheMightyMoto
can't still*
Eddwyn
*people defending people
Trasias
Although I agree, the rationale behind the differentiation is because of how shitty Egypt has been lately to anyone non-Muslim.
megopie
*post making a point to disprove stereo types
27yoUGLYvirgin
Why? That reduces the powerful message behind this. What you are saying is how it should be. But not how it is, sadly. They defended a
27yoUGLYvirgin
minority, which is very brave when that minority is hated and attacked. The highlighting of them being a minority is very valuable here, it
27yoUGLYvirgin
can inspire people to dare to do the same. I'm sure there are quite a bit more people who would stand up for a majority than for a minority.
Eddwyn
They are police officers doing their job. Why must we always throw religion into the frey?
27yoUGLYvirgin
I just explained it to you?
