3 Nuns Paraded like 'Prisoners of War;' 2 Christians Killed; 58 Churches, Properties Attacked in Egypt
Islamists burned down a Christian school, paraded three nuns on the streets like "prisoners of war," and sexually abused two other female staff even as at least 58 attacks on Christians and their property were reported across Egypt over the last four days. At least two Christians have died in the attacks.
Islamist supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi have attacked at least 58 churches, Christian institutions, homes and shops since Wednesday, when Egyptian security forces cleared two of their sit-in camps in Cairo, according to a list Asia News received from the Catholic Church in Egypt.
The Islamists are calling for reinstatement of Morsi, who is from the Muslim Brotherhood and was ousted by the military on July 3. Hundreds of Morsi's supporters were killed as police cleared the sit-in camps, and the others went on a rampage. Read more
