Thousands of Egyptian Muslims Act as Human Shields to Defend Coptic Christians

That is indeed very moving.

thanks for the link, haven't heart this story yet. Good to hear a good story from this part of the world. Our media seems to have done more reporting on the fact that the kopts here have been under police protection, than an interest in painting a non b/w picture.

That being said, I still think that Egypt has way too many ties to the wankers of the Muslim Brotherhood.

News to me but nice to see religious obstacles taken down.

wow! +1 for the Muslims.

I wonder if Skybird or someone else will be along to decree these to be not true muslims.

In my book they are true and decent human beings and that's all that counts.

An Egyptian Christian holds a banner next to a Muslim holding a Koran as they protest against what they say is the failure of authorities to protect them, in Cairo January 3, 2011 after a suspected suicide bomber killed 21 people and wounded 97 outside a Coptic church in the Nile delta city of Alexandria during a New Year's midnight service. Egypt is screening people who arrived recently from countries where al-Qaeda is known to recruit after early findings suggested the militant network was behind the bombing, security sources said. The banner reads, "No to terrorism". Picture taken January 3, 2011.

The world should see much more of this kind of thing, perhaps the emphasis should be upon the media to focus more on the things everyone has in common, rather than that which is divisive?
