Hundreds Of Muslims Go Straight From Mosque After Friday Prayers And Attack Christian Church, Ransack The Inside And Are Now Demanding The Rest To Be Destroyed

Hundreds of Muslims swarmed a Christian Church after Friday Islamic prayers, attacking the Christians and then ransacking and destroying the inside of the Church and are now demanding that the remains be demolished according to a report:

Hundreds of Egyptians ransacked a church south of Cairo and called for it to be demolished, the region’s diocese said.

The attack on the church in Atfeh, 100 kilometres from the capital, took place on Friday after weekly Muslim prayers, the diocese said on its Facebook page.

Several churches, especially ones that have yet to be licenced by the government, have come under attack by local Muslims in the conservative south of the country.

The diocese said the Prince Tawadros church had been used for almost 15 years and had applied for a licence under a law passed last year meant to ease permits for new churches.

Hundreds of people massed in front of the building, chanting “hostile” slogans and calling for the church to be demolished, it said.

“They stormed the place and destroyed what was inside it, after assaulting the Christians there,” the diocese said.

Egypt’s Coptic Christians comprise up to 10 percent of the country’s 93 million people and are the Middle East’s largest religious minority.

They have come under sectarian attacks and been targeted by jihadists who have killed more than 100 people in church bombings and shootings since last December. (source)
