Muslim Mobs Attack Christian Churches in Egypt, 12 Dead
(Telegraph-UK) Samer al-Atrush - Attacks by Muslim mobs on Coptic Christian churches in Cairo left at least 12 people dead. Muslim protesters had tried to storm the St. Mena's church in the Imbaba district on Saturday evening, claiming Christians were holding against her will a woman who had converted to Islam and married a Muslim. A fire bomb thrown from the Muslim side set fire to an apartment building next to the church. Christians standing guard outside the church chanted: "Oh God! Oh Jesus." The Muslims chanted back: "There is no God but Allah." Muslim protesters also set fire to a second church in the same district and attacked Coptic-owned businesses.
