Christians Stone Egyptian Police

AT least 20 Egyptian policemen were injured today when 1000 Christians staging a sit-in at the main Coptic cathedral in Cairo threw rocks at them.
Roads leading to the cathedral, the seat of Pope Shenuda III, head of the Coptic Church, were sealed off, as the police tried to restore calm and restrain a protest over the disappearance of a priest's wife.
The protesters claimed the woman was abducted by her Muslim boss and forced to convert to Islam.

They threw rocks not stones, its a loophole.

"The protesters claimed the woman was abducted by her Muslim boss and forced to convert to Islam."
Quite believable, unfortunately.

Stones thrown at Egyptians...ah come on...we can do better than that.

Right? I mean, that's how Muslims are treated around here.
Individual responsibility is a Conservative value. Group guilt is a liberal vice.

That's right, and they could have forced some idiot reprobate to do that. LOL!

What do you think about the missing Christian wife? It depends. Is it MY missing christian wife, or someone elses?

I, too, wouldn't be surprised to discover that the kidnapping of a priest's wife is true; however, it is so hard to discern truth from rumor among the "Arab street." That part of the world is so anti-Christian that I wouldn't trust the authorities to investigate the matter.

What an absurd analogy.

Just think how this news would have been received had it been Muslims throwing stones at the police. Imagine the posts.
