A large mob of Muslims attack Coptic Christians and their homes after mass

A large group of Muslims attacked Coptic Christians in Beni Suef area of Egypt.

Christian homes were stoned and vandalized and people were beaten.

This is just another chapter in the ongoing persecution of Christians in Egypt.

Last Saturday, Muslims burned five Christian Coptic homes in Abu Yacoub village in Minya after hearing rumors that a church was being built in the area. Police arrested the suspects hours after the arson happened, Al-Ahram  reports. 5 were arrested.

Last month, villagers set fire to a building under construction in Samalut which they believe was a church. In May, a mob stripped naked an elderly Coptic woman and attacked Christian homes over her son's alleged affair with a Muslim woman.

Earlier this month, a stray bullet hit an Orthodox Christian nun from Mar Girgis Monastery in Old Cairo, killing her. After that, a man and his son were reportedly murdered in a "revenge attack." In the village of Karm el Loofy, a kindergarten managed by Christians in Minya was also torched. A Coptic Orthodox priest from St. George Church was killed in Al Arish, and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) took responsibility for the murder.
