A video, which was posted on YouTube on July 22 and and which circulated on social media, shows a Muslim mob throwing stones at families in the village of Saft Al-Kharsa in the Beni Suef governorate. The video was shot from the balcony of one of the Coptic families. According to reports, the attacks followed the Friday sermons at the local mosques and were instigated by rumors that Copts had converted their homes into churches. albawaba.com reported that the tension started when security forces apprehended Ishaq Fahim, a Copt whose home was used as a church since the nearest church is in another village, 10 km away. The security forces warned Fahim against using his home as a church. Following the attacks, Fahim was arrested along with the Muslim rioters, and the security forces demanded that he sign a commitment that he would not turn his home into a church.

Following are excerpts

Copt girl on a balcony: Mama, I'm afraid.

Voice of mother: Don’t be afraid.

Be careful. Get inside, my daughter. Get inside.

Can you imagine if Obama had his favourite sons in place the Muslim Brotherhood? In the end though this has always been the lot of Christians under Islamic rule. Oppression and mob rule.

Yeah, and the global worming (I meant warming) stuff that Kerry talked about probably drives them to wanting to kill Christians and Jews. I can see the connection, can't you?

Oh yeah. After all it is the JOOOOS and the Christians who cause global warming in the first place. The whole thing is a giant Christian/Zionist plot, right?

Yeah, we've been warned by that Kerry guy (Did you know he was in Viet Nam . . . with a film crew?)
