 The priest of the Archangel Michael Church in "El Rahmaniya" village in the province of "Qena", father Basilious Barsoum told coptic united that many Muslim young people of the village have attacked some Christians. They burned and destroyed some stores that belong to Copts. The story started today by an argument that took place between a Christian barber named "Mina Ayad," and a Muslim customer after the customer had refused to pay the fee. After that the Muslim young man collected some of the youth of the village, burning and smashing the barber’s shop and other shops by Molotov cocktails and white arms. They also attacked "Issa Fekry Bichara”, "Michael Fakhri”, and "Pham Hamam". All of these happened while the security men were doing nothing. Mr. Kamal, the father of the martyr “Abanoub” said that what happened is a "Repeated scenario" aiming at the persecution of Christians and forcing them to immigrate. “However the security men know all the thugs, but they have arrested no one” He said
