Coptic Riots in Egypt Become More Frequent and Daring

11/24/2010
More than 200 Coptic Christians clashed with riot police in the Egyptian capital Cairo on Wednesday after authorities halted construction of a new church being built in the city, local news reports said.

In his first comment after riots, Egypt's Coptic Pope Shenouda III blamed the local authorities of using violence against the Christians.

"God has given authority to some people to use it for the help of those under their authority," he said in his weekly lecture on Wednesday attended by thousands of Christians including families of the protesters.

"Violence leads to violence," he said warning governors and local authorities against using force to deal with the Christian issue.
