Muslim mobs set two Cairo churches on fire

[Menelik_I]

Muslim mobs set two Cairo churches on fire overnight during sectarian clashes that left 12 dead and more than 200 injured. The deepening religious violence in military-ruled Egypt exacerbated an already chaotic and lawless transition to democracy.

Mobs of ultraconservative Muslims attacked the St. Menas church in the Cairo slum of Imbaba late Saturday following rumors that a Christian woman married to a Muslim man had been abducted.

Nothing to see ... just a barbecue indeed in a nice Egyptian summer, gotta love Egyptian democracy

Plus could some Muslim explain to us how it is acceptable that a crowd of single loosers could make such rampage over the sexual life of other people ?

ETA:

Thankfully the Military intervened and arrested rioters, hope they keep up some order.

But authorities arrested 190 people, immediately, sending them to military prosecutions and threatening the maximum penalty against anyone attacking houses of worship.

Deus vult!

Sad. Still the article also mentiioned that the military cracked down on rioters afterwards.

They're getting quite good at that as of late.

Revolution is about a lot of looting, burning and killing, not surprise me.

They are. In this case however, I would say swift action was needed. Egypt at this point is in danger of becomming instable and religious and sectarian violence could flare up. That simply has to be prevented.

OP corrected, thanks

Copts locked a woman up in a church to prevent her from becoming muslim. This angered the muslims and they started to attack random (?) Copts.

Religion...

Is this what happened? If so, why is the OP only mentioning and questioning Muslims? What could be the purpose of this?

All those thousands of Christians that fled or were murdered in Iraq since the invasion brought it on themselves too I suppose.

Wow... That is an epic, and I mean EPIC red herring. I really don't think you possibly could have made a comment more irrelevant to my post unless you started talking about what the weather was like outside.

Sunny and hot. Quite nice really. Few clouds here and there. Garden could do with a bit more rain.

Well it begins to seem like a pattern of behaviour. Evil dictator gets overthrown. Extremists take control. Non-muslims die horribly.
Although obviously you’re never going to see it that way.

Nice grasp of straws you have there. I never expected the inquisitions.

Because Copts are always very nice and peaceful people and muslim's only purpose in life is to kill evil non-muslim pigs, according to a certain group of TWC members.

Yep, just imagine a World with it...

so it seems there are tensions between religous groups in the middle east and north africa. glad somebody uncovered that.
i a gree though that the north africa "change" also has its risks. also when looking at the rebels in lybia.. there are too many uneducated people that fall easily to false prechers with bad intentions. that area is very fragile atm.

This is what they do to their own countrymen who aren’t Slaves of Allah.
Imagine what they would do to the rest of us if they could.

Anyone think this revolution's gonna go down the same bloody path as the French Revolution?
