anti-Christian rioting in Egypt

http://volokh.com/2009/11/29/alleged-ant…

For several days massive mobs of Muslims have been attacking Coptic Christians in the Egyptian town of Farshoot 300 miles south of Cairo. The mobs’ looting, vandalism and arson have caused at least $1 million in damage as Copts hide indoors for fear of their lives.

Many Copts have been attacked and injured, the Coptic American Friendship Association (CAFA) says. Coptic priest Rev. Benjamin Noshi suffered a fractured skull in the attacks and is now hospitalized.

Nearly 3,000 Muslims have been damaging and looting at least 50 Christian-owned shops, including jewelry stores and pharmacies. Most Coptic businesses in Farshoot have been looted or burned and many families have been thrown out of their homes by other Muslim residents.

The attacks were sparked by a claim that a 20-year-old Christian man, who is in custody, had a relationship with a 12-year-old Muslim girl….

Having sex with a Muslim girl who’s not even 13 ?

That’s totally unacceptable … unless you’re the prophet Mohammed !

    I’d say they’re not doing a very good job of rioting.

    The claim is almost certainly a fabrication intended to provoke said riots.

    You’re using first world standards.

    $1 mill in damages is about half of Egypt’s GDP!

    (OK, I’m joking … but not entirely. You do have to do some PPP calculations here.)

    Do we know the girl in Muhammend’s case was technically a Muslim?
