Devout Muslims Throw Gasoline Bombs at Christian Shops Just Before Trial of Coptic Christian Accused of Blasphemy Against Islam

The Muslims who did this are supporters of the Obama-backed Muslim
Brotherhood, which Obama tried to strong-arm the Egyptians into
returning to power. The wholesale persecution of non-Muslims in Muslim
societies on his watch, while he glad-handed the oppressors and said

many, many blots on his feckless post-American presidency.
The official says the attack early Monday saw Islamists throw gasoline bombs at the shops in the village of el-Mahameed near Luxor. The official says authorities are investigating the attack.
The attack came hours before the start of a trial in Luxor for Kerolos Ghattas, a young Coptic Christian charged with contempt to Islam over a series of alleged Internet postings.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to journalists.
Christians make up about 10 percent of Egypt’s population.
