The People's Assembly launched a scathing attack against the European Parliament accusing it of disseminating false reports about the "repression of Christians" in Egypt, reports Gamal Essam El-Din Egyptian MPs, belonging to the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) and opposition, opened fire on the Brussels-based European Parliament, accusing it of interfering in Egypt's internal affairs.
Speaker of the People's Assembly Fathi Sorour told MPs in a session on Monday morning that he condemned the way in which the European Parliament had "tried to exploit the attack which hit the Two Saints Church on the New Year's Eve in order to imply that there is a systematic policy of repression against Coptic Christians in Egypt". Sorour said that in a meeting with a delegation from the Bundestag (German parliament) yesterday, he had stressed that "the terrorist attack against the Alexandrian church targeted Muslims and Christians alike and the European Parliament's statements about repression of Christians in Egypt are entirely unfounded"
Supporting Sorour, senior NDP MPs accused the European Parliament of propagating lies about Egypt. Abdel-Ahad Gamaleddin, NDP spokesman in the People's Assembly, insisted that "the European Parliament's statement claiming that Coptic Christians face persecution shows how most European institutions are completely ignorant of the situation in Egypt."

I have no idea what to make of the story being reported but a quick look at the blog site from which it came ("The Vatican Lobby"!!!) has me reeling.
Is this blog master for real? It is extremely difficult to see from what direction this guy is coming but a cursory stroll around his site seems to suggest that a)he is studying law; b)that he is Jewish; c)that he is psychotically paranoid about Vatican influence, thinking apparently that the Vatican is trying to rule the world (would that it were so).
This guy sounds like one of the writers of PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE.
Tancred, do you ever check the sources of the information you choose to post here?. It would appear, not.
If the information is correct, it's correct, it matters little who posted it, or what their proclivity or agenda might be.
To be sure, you must be under the soft-headed impression that posting things on here is an endorsement.
To be sure, advertising a hyperlink to a despicable website/product, even passively, is a tacit endorsement of said product.
What would you say if a diocese purchased all of its vestments from an anti-church company of openly homosexual men; at the same time allowing them to advertise themselves as the diocesan’s first choice in garments; giving the excuse -- vestments are vestments, and they’re great/correct vestments?
"To be sure, advertising a hyperlink to a despicable website/product, even passively, is a tacit endorsement of said product."
No it's not.
