| In Egypt, More Violence Against Coptic Christians |
April 11, 2013 |
|
On April 7th, Coptic Christian mourners were attacked outside their central Cathedral in Cairo, a holy site on par with the Vatican. They had gathered for a funeral for fellow Copts, who were killed during sectarian fighting a few days earlier. Though it's unclear who started the violence, it's a sign of the deep-rooted tension between Egypt's Christian minority and Muslim majority.
