Anti-Christian Riots Spreading in Egypt

Apparently the anti-Christian riots in Egypt are spreading. The Muslim on Christian violence started when a Christian man was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a 12 year old Muslim girl.

How arresting a sexual predator pisses off Muslims is any one's guess. REAL:

– “Since early morning on Saturday, November 21, the Upper Egyptian town of Farshoot, as well as the neighboring villages of Kom Ahmar, Shakiki and Ezbet Waziri, has been the scene of ongoing Muslim mob violence against Coptic Christian inhabitants. The mob looted, vandalized and burnt Coptic property, while Copts hid indoors fearing to venture out. Reuters Cairo reported that a witness said ‘chaos is overwhelming (in the city).’ ”
– “The Violence is still going on. There are reports that seven Coptic women have been abducted.”
– “Witnesses said that nearly 3000 angry Muslims have congregated since the early morning in front of the Police Headquarters in Farshoot, in an effort to kidnap Girgis Baroumi while being transported to court to renew his detainment, in order to kill him. Bishop Kirollos said it was agreed with the family of the Muslim girl Yousra to await the Court decision ‘but they did not wait for that.’ ”

– “Coptic priest Rev. Benjamin Noshi was driving his car when the mob stopped and assaulted him, fracturing his skull. He is currently in hospital.”

– “By the evening most Coptic businesses were looted and burnt. ‘They are destroying the Coptic economy in these areas,’ says Wagih Yacoub of Middle Eadt Christian Association”.

– “A witness said that some Coptic families were thrown out of their homes, which were occupied by Muslims.”

And we are supposed to believe that when the Caliphate is restored that love, peace, and harmony will exist between the great monotheistic faiths.

Here's a video.
