Egyptian "Religion of Peaceniks" attack Christian homes, torch church

From Egypt, comes this story [emphasis added in bold, my comments in red]:
(AINA) -- A mob of nearly four thousand Muslims has attacked Coptic homes this evening in the village of Soul, Atfif in Helwan Governorate, 30 kilometers from Cairo, and torched the Church of St. Mina and St. George. There are conflicting reports about the whereabouts of the Church pastor Father Yosha and three deacons who were at church; some say they died in the fire and some say they are being held captive by the Muslims inside the church.

Witnesses report the mob prevented the fire brigade from entering the village. The army, which has been stationed for the last two days in the village of Bromil, 7 kilometers from Soul, initially refused to go into Soul, according to the officer in charge. When the army finally sent three tanks to the village, Muslim elders sent them away, saying that everything was "in order now." [nothing to see here, the Christians are perfectly safe, move along]

A curfew has been imposed on the 12,000 Christians in the village. [given that the muslims were the ones attacking Christians in their homes and churches, shouldn't the muslims be the ones confined by curfew to their homes?  You know, so they can't attack the Christians?]

This incident was triggered by a relationship between 40-year-old Copt Ashraf Iskander and a Muslim woman. Yesterday a "reconciliation" meeting was arranged between the relevant Coptic and Muslim families and together with the Muslim elders it was decided that Ashraf Iskander would have to leave the village because Muslims torched his house.

The father of the Muslim woman was killed by his cousin because he did not kill his daughter to preserve the family's honor, [what a "peaceful" solution, no?] which led the woman's brother to avenge the death of his father by killing the cousin. The village Muslims blamed the Christians. [repeat after me: it's always the non-muslims' (Christians, Jews) fault] ...
Read the rest here.

By the way, Daniel Greenfield has more on how male adherents of the "Religion of Peace" treat women here, with lots of embedded links. Snippet [link omitted below]:
How academic is this, let's take a brief trip from Pakistan to Egypt, home of the joyful Democratic revolution, where 98 percent of foreign women complained of being sexually harassed on a daily basis.

Let's step back and look at those numbers for a moment. Nearly every single foreign woman who visits Egypt can expect to be sexually harassed... every single day that she is there. [emphasis added] Where does that kind of attitude come from? ...
