Muslim Mob Attacks Christian Church in Cairo – 6 Dead

Arab Spring.
A Muslim mob attacked a Christian Church in Cairo tonight. 6 people were killed and the church was torched.
Hundreds of Muslims stood around outside the church and recorded the event with their phones.


CNN reported:

Six people were killed and 120 injured in sectarian clashes outside a church in Cairo on Saturday, officials said.

An angry group of Muslim Salafists attacked the Saint Mena Coptic Orthodox Church. They were upset over reports of a woman being held against her will after allegedly converting to Islam.

“With my own eyes I saw three people killed and dozens injured,” said Mina Adel, a Christian resident. “There’s no security here. There’s a big problem. People attacked us, and we have to protect ourselves.”

Egyptian Interior Ministry spokesman Alla Mahmoud said in a statement that six people were killed and 120 injured in the violence.

Authorities sent soldiers and police to help secure the area.
