Egyptian police stop Muslims from storming a church after alleged harassment

Al Arabiya with AFP

Police in Egypt clashed on Friday with a crowd of furious Muslims who tried to 
storm a church after claiming that a Coptic man had tried to sexually abuse a 
six-year-old Muslim girl, security sources said.

Dozens of Muslims went on the rampage in the southern city of Qena, destroying 
two Coptic-owned shops and then marching on the church in a bid to storm it 
before police fired tear gas to disperse them, the sources said.

The Muslims claimed that a Coptic merchant had tried to sexually harass the 
girl, they said.

Police arrested the merchant as well as 10 Muslims who allegedly took part in 
the unrest, including pelting police with stones, they added.

Copts, who make up between six and 10 percent of Egypt's 83-million population, 
have suffered an increase in attacks since a popular uprising ousted Hosni 
Mubarak in early 2011, leading to a breakdown in security.

Earlier this month, Egyptian army forces stationed in the Sinai Peninsula 
foiled an attempt to bomb a church in Rahaf, a city in the border with Gaza 
Strip, during a Coptic holiday.

It was not immediately clear who was behind the planned attack but one security 
source said the perpetrators were "probably radical Islamists whom security 
forces have been tracking for months."

Islamist President Mohamed Mursi, who hails from the powerful Muslim 
Brotherhood, visited the Sinai peninsula in October to meet with and reassure 
Coptic families, telling them that "your security is our security".

Mursi, who was elected in June, has pledged to be the "president of all 
Egyptians" but many among the minority Christian community say they fear for 
their future under Islamist rule.
