ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, April 5 (Reuters) - Hundreds of Muslims pelted Christian-owned shops and a police station with stones in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria on Sunday after a Muslim man was killed, an eyewitness said.
A security source said the violence started after word of mouth reports a Muslim man, identified as Ahmed Abdel Razeq Gomaa, had been stabbed to death in the street by his Christian landlords.
Crowds of Muslims assembled near a mosque for funeral prayers for Gomaa chanting "They'll die, they'll die," in reference to the three Christian landlords, brothers Ayman, Atef and Farag Tagy, the witness said.
Police and security vehicles were positioned in the area.
Security sources said the Muslim man was the sole Muslim tenant in the building owned by the trio, and had been injured in an earlier fight with the brothers. One security source added that the three landlords had been detained over the death.
Christians account for up to 10 percent of Egypt's population. Relations with the Muslim majority are usually harmonious, but disputes over land, religious buildings or women sometimes lead to violence.
In 2006, there were three days of sectarian clashes in Alexandria after a Muslim stabbed a Coptic Christian to death. Authorities said the attacker was mentally ill. (Writing by Aziz El-Kaissouni; Editing by Jon Boyle)

It's funny I was just telling my husband this just minutes ago. I recently read an article with the tile "Muslim kills Christian in Egypt," and I thought it was a religous caused murder. When I read the story it turned out that it was a fight over the property and so one killed the other but because one happened to be muslim and one happened to be christian, the media turned it into a religous issues. It's so bloody annoying.
But still I think there are issues between Muslims and Christians in Egypt and I hate the way the Egyptian government keeps trying to hush it down. We need to open this subject and talk about it so that we can deal with these issues and move on.

You people use aggression with christians in Egypt because you people can get away with it and you people are comfortable with knowing the ways of those people. You people wouldn't dare try that shyt in America or with an American christian because you people know they fight back. You people don't even try to fvck with the black American muslims because you know they are aggressive, but you people killing and showing disdain for other muslim sects in your country or throughout the muslim world who don't fit into the "mainstream" islam belief. You people try to take over a black American mosque and they shut your punk azz down. Shyt like that only work in your country. You people know who to fvck with.

Bytch you got a lot of nerves. You fvcking muslimes sound like retards chanting and shouting that stupid Arab Allah Baba shyt. You people rock back and forth when you pray and meditate, go through trances, engage in "stoning of the devil" some stupid ritual you people perform during the huge mecca event. You people are nothing but fvcking retards. Not all christians believe or do they speak in tongues, but all you fvcking muslimes go through trances, shout, rock, and stone the invisible devil. And what about the seven virgins. You people are perverse and idiots.

totally agree. I know a few coptic christians here and they say so much of this is b/s made worse by western media. Somehow, those crazy evengelical happy clappy folks relate to the 'oppression' [hoho] of coptic christians here. They are NOTHING like them, generally they despise western christians, consider them lightweight and misguided. In their beliefs, they are the oldest sect in the world, and wouldn't be caught dead in a US church. as long as people don't diss each others' religion, don't try to steal their daughters, don't spit at priests, throw rocks at mosques. most problems are simple neighbourhood clashes. [jets and sharks stuff.] destabilisation scam.
