The side piece by Mr Head is interesting as well. The links at the bottom as well as other posts in this folder give more background on the Salafi crowd.
"More than 190 people detained after fatal clashes between Muslims and Christians in Cairo are to face military trials, Egypt's army says.
The ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces called the move a "deterrent" against further violence.
Earlier the prime minister postponed a visit to the Gulf in order to hold an emergency cabinet meeting.
At least 10 people have died and 186 wounded during the overnight clashes in Cairo's Imbaba district.
It started after several hundred conservative Salafist Muslims gathered outside the Coptic Saint Mena Church............."
&
"..........Rival groups threw firebombs and stones, and gunfire was heard.
The church and one other, as well as some nearby homes, were set alight, and it took some hours for the emergency services and the military to bring the situation under control.............."
I wonder just how much of the "threw firebombs" was related to the Christians?
