Muslim Council in Egypt Evicts 8 Christian Families, Seizes Their Property
Assyrian International News Agency ^ | 2-9-2012 | Mary Abdelmassih

Copts in the village of Kobry-el-Sharbat (El-Ameriya), Alexandria, were attacked on January 27 by a mob of 3000 Muslims led by Salafi leaders, who looted and torched homes and shops belonging to Copts. The violence was prompted by allegations made by a Muslim barber named Toemah that a 34-year-old Coptic tailor, Mourad Samy Guirgis, had on his mobile phone illicit photos of a Muslim woman. Mourad denied the accusation and surrendered to the police for fear for his life....

Three "reconciliation meetings" were held at the El-Ameriya village police headquarters. They were attended by Salafi and Muslim Brotherhood representatives from neighboring villages, as well as church representative. Muslims demanded the eviction of all Coptic inhabitants from the village because "Muslim honour had been damaged."

...

During the first reconciliation meeting it was agreed that only Copts who were directly involved with the Mourad incident would be evicted, and the church demanded compensation of two million pounds for the innocent Copts whose homes and businesses were torched on January 27. Muslims, especially Salafis from the neighboring villages, refused any kind of compensation and insisted on the eviction of all Copts.

On January 30 a Muslim mob attacked Copts in Kobry-el-Sharbat for the second time, and torched three Coptic homes in the presence of the security forces, "which took the role of an onlooker and made no effort to stop the violence," ...

Muslims threatened that if eight Coptic families were not evicted by February 3rd, all remaining 54 Coptic families in the village would be subjected to violence after Friday prayers. They called it "Friday of Eviction" and "Friday of Clean-up.

Read the rest of the article. The “solution” was several families had to give all their assets to the MB or else all the Christians in the town would be murdered.

The irony is deafening, ain't it? BTW, if you told me in 2001 that we'd elected a guy with the name of Hussein, I'd laugh you all the way to Mars.

It is not possible to damage Muslim honor as they have none to begin with.

I predict that Israel, in the next few years, will have the largest Egyptian Copts population in the world.

Any takers?

Thanks risen_feenix.

I think it was just wonderful how little comment there was around here during the ‘Arab Spring’ about how Mubarek should remain in office because he had protected [sic] Egyptian Christians — not that there was none, but there was very little — whereas that very (and specious) argument is made on behalf of Assad in Syria.
