I figured I should post this since apparently Fox News, Bloody Scotty, Facetious, Trident, Lalalindslohan, etc, apparently missed it.
Muslims attend Coptic Christmas mass, serving as "human shields"
Muslims turned up in droves for the Coptic Christmas mass Thursday night, offering their bodies, and lives, as “shields” to Egypt’s threatened Christian communityYasmine El-Rashidi , Friday 7 Jan 2011
Amidst clashes and threats, Copts feel marginalized in Egypt elections J’accuse How afraid are Egypt's Copts? Egypt Muslims to act as "human shields" at Coptic Christmas Eve mass In Egypt, ministers and movie stars turn out for trouble-free Christmas mass Sectarianism and its Discontents Egypt’s majority Muslim population stuck to its word Thursday night. What had been a promise of solidarity to the weary Coptic community, was honoured, when thousands of Muslims showed up at Coptic Christmas eve mass services in churches around the country and at candle light vigils held outside.
From the well-known to the unknown, Muslims had offered their bodies as “human shields” for last night’s mass, making a pledge to collectively fight the threat of Islamic militants and towards an Egypt free from sectarian strife.
“We either live together, or we die together,” was the sloganeering genius of Mohamed El-Sawy, a Muslim arts tycoon whose cultural centre distributed flyers at churches in Cairo Thursday night, and who has been credited with first floating the “human shield” idea.
