(AINA) -- In mid-October Egyptian media published news of an altercation between Muslim and Christian
students over a classroom seat at a school in Mallawi,
Minya province. The altercation lead to the murder of
a Christian student. The media portrayed the incident
as non-sectarian. However, Copts Without Borders, a
Coptic news website, refuted this version and was first
to report that the Christian student was murdered
because he was wearing a crucifix.
