Islamists tear down banners and spray insults against the patriarch, Copts and the Army on its walls. An attempt to storm the building is stopped. The church is a place of pilgrimage for Christians and Muslims because of an apparition of the Virgin Mary.
Cairo (AsiaNews / Agencies) - Egypt's churches came under attack once again yesterday when a procession of students linked to the Muslim Brotherhood attacked the church of the Virgin Mary in Zaytoun , in the eastern part of Cairo, which marks the site of a famous apparition of Our Lady . The group - which came directly from Friday prayers in the mosque next door - clashed with some young Christians, who prevented the Islamists from storming the building. Thanks to the intervention of some passers-by, who calmed the brawl, a more serious incident of violence was avoided, but the situation remains tense.

I'm a Muslim Egyptian from Matarya I still remember the glorious nights we used to spend together Christains and Muslims in recognition of the Virgin Mary . The good old days before Egypt sees this ugly and crule terrorism and hatred . As much as I cherish my freedom and libirties here in America ; I can not help but think if the only way out is to capture these people and take all human rights away from them . You have to act human to have human rights and these animals do not act human at all .
