Egypt: Muslims stone Coptic churches in dispute that started over Christian man dating Muslim woman

Jihad Watch

Sharia forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men. As such, what should be a private matter between two people becomes a point of tension driven by the sense of entitlement inherent in Islamic law to "dominate and not be dominated." "Egypt Muslims stone Coptic churches in sectarian clash," from Agence France-Presse, October 24:

CAIRO -- Muslims students stoned Coptic Christian churches and homes in a southern Egyptian village on Saturday after four Muslims suspected of killing a Copt were kept in custody, police said.

The unrest began when the prosecutor extended the detention of the Muslims in the village of Dairut who are suspected of killing an elderly Copt in his home last week, a police official said.

Stone-throwing Muslim students and Copts clashed before police deployed in the town, the official added.

The men in custody had allegedly sought to attack the Coptic man's son, who was dating a Muslim girl and was rumoured to have passed out a CD with explicit pictures of her. Instead they found only the father at home.

Copts account for six to 10 percent of Egypt's 80-million population. They complain of discrimination and have been the targets of sectarian killings and violence.

Comment: How many more stories like this one must we share until you begin to understand Islam's Sharia Law is contrary to our Judeo-Christian belief structure? This is but one of hundreds,thousands of events that occur through-out the world every month. This is not from a terrorist group, this is about our "friend" the Egyptians. They are not considered radical and many have defined them as moderate in beliefs. Thus, to suggest that only a small percentage of those practicing Islam believe in behavior we find horrific is to continue to be in denial. To continue to call those of us names or label us as some kind of -ist, is to remain ignorant of facts. I ask why you are so afraid to examine the facts and engage in a meaningful debate about Sharia Law and its contrary value system?
