Killings is Egypt

Could you ever kill someone because they do not have the same religion as you? Not to long ago there was a shooting in Egypt because of this conflict. to be more specific it was a drive-by shooting outside of a Christian church. None of the newspaper articles or associate press had a valid date of the killing. Mohammed Ahmed Hassanein, also known as Hammam al-Kamouni to his friends. was the killer. Six Christians were killed and a Muslim guard was also shot.

At a different church on New Year's Day a Muslim suicide bomber entered a different Christian church and set off his explosives. This explosion killed 21 Christian followers.

The Christian community in Egypt is out number by the Muslim religion. Christianity is only about 10 percent of the whole population. So, what is being said is the Christianity religion is the minority of Egypt.  An Associated Press article on January 16th of this year said that the Egyptian government convicted the man who is Muslim.  A mention was made of a rape of a Muslim girl by a Christian man.  What the two had to do with each other other is not explained.  I think it was because they were both based on the two religions and that they do not get along.

Mohammed quotes "I am a victim, I did not do it."  I think he did it.  It reminds me of the Jewish people in Germany when Hitler was in charge.  The killings remind me of the gang shootings that happen.
