Hundreds of Muslims burn down Christian homes as warning not to build new church
A 300-STRONG throng of Muslims torched a group of Christian houses in Egypt because they wanted to build a church on their own land.
Coptics, who belong to the oriental Orthodox family of churches, make up the majority of Christians in Egypt and northeast Africa.
Kiri Kankhwende, press officer for Christian Solidarity Worldwide, said: “The torching of Coptic homes in Kom El Loofy underscores once more the urgent need for Egypt’s House of Representatives to enact a law regulating the construction and renovation of houses of worship in a manner that guarantees the right of Christians to worship in community with others.
