Fem döda och åtta skadade var resultatet av strider mellan muslimer och kristna i en stad utanför Kairo i lördags.
'Five die in Christian-Muslim clashes in Egypt'
Här kan man läsa utdrag ur en ironisk artikel av den egyptiska författaren Alaa Al-Aswany som beskriver situationen för kristna i Egypten.
Egyptian Author Alaa Al-Aswany On Situation Of Copts In Egypt (MEMRI)
In an ironic article, Egyptian author Alaa Al-Aswany describes what
it is to be "a Muslim in Britain," metaphorically referring in fact to
the state of the Copts in Egypt, who suffer from severe persecution and
discrimination. The following are excerpts.
"Being a Muslim in Britain means living in danger of being driven
from your neighborhood at any moment. All it takes is for the extremists
to send you some death threats giving you one or two days to leave.
[Then] you will have to take your family and children and move someplace
far away. If you ask the cops for help, they will say: 'We advise you
to leave for a while, because, to be honest, we cannot protect you.'
"Being a Muslim in Britain means living in constant danger of
massacre. If you demonstrate in demand of your rights, the security
forces will run you over with their armored vehicles. If you leave the
mosque with your fellow [Muslims] on a holiday, extremists will surround
you and kill you. If some trader quarrels with a Muslim customer from
your neighborhood, the quarrel will quickly escalate from a business
dispute into a religious war. Then the extremists will attack the homes
of the Muslims, burn them and kill [those inside]. The police will
arrive too late, as usual. They will apprehend some of the attackers,
but, no matter how many Muslim are killed, the murderers will get off
with light sentences, or be acquitted."
