Who Cares about Christians in Egypt?


Tarek El-Tablawy & Salma El Wardany, Egypt Copts Blast Mursi at Memorial After Fatal Weekend Clashes Bloomberg News (April 7, 2013):

"Hundreds of grieving Coptic Christians packed inside a Cairo cathedral called for an end to Muslim Brotherhood rule after the worst sectarian clashes in months laid bare the polarization in the country.

"The anguish in the church today erupted ahead of funerals for at least four Christians killed in weekend fighting with Muslims in the Greater Cairo town of Khosous. The skirmishing was the bloodiest in a weekend of political violence as a leading youth organization took its opposition to Islamist President Mohamed Mursi to the streets."
