They still have mercy

After a Coptic old woman was stripped off in the streets as punishment for her son after rumors about a romantic relationship between him and a Muslim girl, I searched the internet to find out that similar accidents occur in several parts of the world including an one accident in Uttar Pradesh, India on April 26, 2016.

The story said that a 60-year-old woman was stripped and tortured in a village in Uttar Pradesh on Monday after her son allegedly eloped with a girl, police said. The woman's face was blackened and chilli powder was thrown on her private parts as "punishment", they said. Senior police officer Akhilesh Chaurasia said the woman was attacked by the family members of the girl with whom her son had allegedly run away on Sunday. 
 
The wrath shown by Muslim families against Christians with rumors about romantic relationships between Muslim girl and Christian man does not compare to their happiness and even celebration when the relation is between Muslim man and Christian woman, even when the woman is married! In the second case, even police support the man and sometimes help him hide the woman.
However, I noticed that the extremists in Egypt have more mercy than those in India, since they didn’t put chilli powder on her private parts, and they were only satisfied with beating the 70 years old woman so hard and burning couple of Christian houses! Finally, I hope that serious investigations are opened this time and aggressor will be punished even for exception.
