DW: Crowds attack Coptic Church in Egypt
Hundreds of Muslim demonstrators have reportedly assaulted an Egyptian Coptic Christian church south of Cairo. This marks the latest in a series of assaults on members of the country's Coptic minority.
The incident took place at the Prince Tawadros church in Giza, 100 kilometers (60 miles) outside Cairo, following Friday prayers at a nearby mosque. Demonstrators gathered outside the church building in the afternoon and stormed it, chanting hostile slogans and calling for the church's demolition.

This will be the reality for most of us christians until Jesus return.
Imagine world reaction if hundreds of christians behaved that way and would storm a mosque. When will this double standard finally end?
