Coptic Christians Attacked in Cairo

Coptic Christians Attacked in Cairo November 17, 2011

There was another attack on Coptic Christians today as they marched through the Cairo neighborhood of Shoubra. Until the late 1960s, it was predominantly a Coptic district (today, some estimate, it is 40 percent Copt), which is why the rally’s organizers felt reasonably safe to march. Instead, Muslim activists attacked the demonstrators, some even threw Molotov cocktails. This news report claims seven were injured, while early accounts from the Ministry of Health indicate as that 29 Copts have been wounded, though local Copt sources expect many more.
