Police Say Muslim Villagers attack Christians after Disappearance of Muslim Convert

By Jeremy Reynalds
Correspondent for ASSIST News Service

CAIRO, EGYPT (ANS) — An Egyptian police official said security forces have clashed with hundreds of angry Muslims who attacked houses and shops owned by Christians in a tiny farming village south of Cairo.

According to a story by the Associated Press (AP), the clashes took place late Friday after the disappearance of a young woman who had converted to Islam in the village of al-Nazalah. Egypt has seen several incidents of violence between Muslims and Christians in recent weeks.

The AP reported the police official said officers fired tear gas at, and scuffled with, about 1,000 Muslims who had accused Christians of kidnaping the female Muslim convert to force her to return to Christianity.

The AP said he spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media.

A village priest told the AP that Muslim residents also threw Molotov cocktails at Christians.
