CHRISTIAN STUDENT MURDERED BY MUSLIM CLASSMATES FOR WEARING A CROSS:

(AINA) -- In mid-October Egyptian media published

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.

The march from the Cairo district of Shubra was huge, like

of men in long white bibs, “martyr upon demand” 
written on their chests. A tiny old lady walked among 
them, waving a large wooden cross: “God protect you my 
children, God protect you.”
