Muslim-Christian clashes erupt over reopening of church in Egyptian capital
By Sarah El Deeb, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press
CAIRO - An Egyptian security official says clashes have broken out between Muslims and Christians over the reopening of a Cairo church the former regime closed years ago.
Muslim-Christian violence has erupted several times around Egypt since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak on Feb. 11.
Thursday's clashes began when police accompanied a group of Christians to reopen the Church of the Virgin in Cairo's Ain Shams district.
More than 1,000 ultraconservative Salafi Muslims and local residents tried to block the way, and the sides pelted each other with stones. Police detained a number of those involved, and the Christians entered the church while a smaller protest continued outside. No injuries were reported.
About 10 per cent of Egyptians are Christians.
