THE NEW EGYPT – AT 9:22 P.M. ET: Welcome to the fruit of the revolution. How much discussion do you see of this in the mainstream media?
CAIRO (AP) — An angry mob attacked a group of mainly Christian protesters demanding drastic measures to heal religious tension amid a spike in violence, leaving 65 people injured, officials said Sunday.
The Christian protesters have been holding their sit-in outside the state television building in Cairo for nearly a week following deadly Christian-Muslim clashes that left a church burned and 15 people dead.
More than 100 people rushed into the sit-in area, lobbing rocks and fire bombs from an overpass and charging toward the few hundred protesters sleeping in the area. Vehicles were set on fire and fires burned in the middle of the street.
COMMENT: Please note the deep concern among "human rights" activists. There was far more concern for the "rights" of Osama bin Laden.
The word from Egypt is not very encouraging.
