Ten Dead After Copt-Muslim Clash In Cairo -- BBC

At least 10 people died and 110 were injured in clashes between Muslims and Coptic Christians in Cairo on Tuesday.

Both Coptic Christians and Muslims were killed in the violence, which began during a protest by Copts against last week's burning of a church.

The clashes come two months after a suicide bomber killed 23 people at a Coptic church in Alexandria.

My Comment: The main stream media's refusal (or lack of interest) in covering the Muslim pogrom against Christian communities in the Middle East is starting to change. What is happening in Egypt against the Copt community can be seen throughout the Middle East .... and it is getting worse.
