Credit: Reuters/Amr Abdallah Dalsh By Dina Zayed and Patrick Werr CAIRO | Sun Oct 9, 2011 4:26pm EDT CAIRO (Reuters) - Nineteen people were killed in Cairo Sunday when Christians, some carrying crosses and pictures of Jesus, clashed with military police, medical and security sources said, in the latest sectarian flare-up in a country in political turmoil. Christians protesting against an attack on a church threw rocks and petrol bombs and set cars on fire, as thick smoke wafted through the streets in some of the most violent scenes since an uprising ousted ex-President Hosni Mubarak in February. Hundreds from both sides fought with sticks on a Cairo bridge. Protests later spread to the central Tahrir Square, the focal point of the February uprising. Witnesses said the army had moved into the area. State television and sources said 150 people were injured, without saying how many of them were protesters. It had previously said three of those killed were soldiers. Medical and security sources have told Reuters that at least 19 people were killed. Tensions between Christians and Muslims have increased since the February uprising. The latest violence comes just weeks before a parliamentary election on November 28, the first such vote since Mubarak was ousted. Egypt's government has appealed for calm. Prime Minister Essam Sharaf said he had contacted security and church authorities to contain the situation. "The only beneficiary of these events and acts of violence are the enemies of the January revolution and the enemies of the Egyptian people, both Muslim and Christian," he said on his Facebook page. Christians, who make up 10 percent of Egypt's roughly 80 million people, took to the streets after blaming Muslim radicals for partially demolishing a church in Aswan province last week. They also demanded the sacking of the province's governor for failing to protect the building. "MARCHING PEACEFULLY" More than four vehicles were set ablaze and TV footage showed protesters breaking windows of parked cars and army personnel carriers driving full speed toward crowds of protesters. Gun shots were heard and witnesses said crowds of protesters carried bodies as tear gas filled the air. It was unclear who was shooting. "We were marching peacefully," Talaat Youssef, 23-year old Christian trader told Reuters at the scene. "When we got to the state television building, the army started firing live ammunition," he said, adding army vehicles ran over protesters, killing five. His account could not be immediately confirmed. "The army is supposed to be protecting us," Youssef said. Thousands of Christians protested in Cairo and Alexandria Sunday over the attack, chanting against the ruling military council and its head, Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi. After the clashes in front of the state television building, protests in provinces with large Christian populations were reported by local newspapers. Their accounts could not be verified independently. The protesters want the government to fire the governor of Aswan Province, Mostafa al-Sayed, after the partial demolition of the church Friday. Egyptian media said Muslims were accused of attacking the church after talk spread in the town that the building did not have legal authorization. In May, twelve people were killed in a sectarian clashes between Christians and Muslims after rumors that Christians were holding a woman who had converted to Islam.[ID:nLDE74J1U7] The incident led the country's ruling military council to order the drafting of new laws to criminalize sectarian violence and ease restrictions on building churches. Egyptian officials said they would investigate the causes of Sunday's violence, calling for calm. "We need unity more than any other time before," Information Minister Osama Heikal told state television.

The REAL story was they were marching down peacefully as they usually have done. The POLICE came in with riot gear and started beating them. They chased the christian protesters and others tried to stop the police from the brutality. But it wasnt just police, there were plain clothed thugs long with them. The police did nothing to stop them, only attack the christian protesters. Muslims show that they only want a muslim country, and will enforce this any way they can. Even by hacing their reporters lie to news agencies. Oct 09, 2011 3:24pm EDT -- Report as abuse gimme3pleez wrote: Muslims have a stated objective, “Holy jihad”. That means kill Jews, kill Christians, kill Americans and kill any Muslims who don’t see it our way. A bloody religion! Oct 09, 2011 3:30pm EDT -- Report as abuse Substantiate wrote: Why is it that muhammedans are constantly attacking the Christians who peacefully protest? Weren’t the Christians on their side in helping to oppose the dictator? They did not start any fight nor instigate in this matter. Why attack them? And for the authorities to allow it or be involved in the assault…what a shame. Shame. Clearly Egypt is not yet a free country if people who disagree with the majority of muhammedans or who protest against their brutality cannot have peaceful demonstrations. It’s become depressing how many of them are using violence to force their beliefs. It is causing instability among the people. Now the authorities are allowing it. What a shame. Those Christians do not represent the “West.” For radical Muslims to violently attack Christians (which started in the East) who have been there for centuries before Islam was founded is sad. It’s becoming a change from one dictator to thousands. Oct 09, 2011 4:23pm EDT -- Report as abuse See All Comments » Add Your Comment Social Stream (What's this?)
