‘Fanatic’ Muslim mob torches 80 Christian homes in Egypt over church rumour

AN ANGRY crowd destroyed dozens of Christian homes and properties in an Egyptian village last week in protest over rumoured plans to build a church.

The Muslim mob, which were described as “fanatic” by a terrified witness, began wreaking havoc at a Christian-owned building which was under construction.

The crowd believed it was set to be turned into a Christian church and took umbrage, setting fire to the building and other nearby Christian properties.

They also destroyed the construction materials and injured Christians who attempted to reason with them.

Christian resident Mousa Zarif said: “On Friday afternoon, following Friday noon prayer, a great deal of fanatic Muslims gathered in the front of the new house of my cousin, Naim Aziz, during its construction because of a rumour spread in the village that this building would be turned into a church.

I'm certain this has everything to do with Western culture and foreign intervention. One thing I can guarantee that isn't involved is Islam.
