News: Police and Christians clash in Egypt over church
Hello,
I just wanted to post the latest news from Egypt:
2 persons have died in clashes between around 150 Coptic Christian protesters and police over the construction of a Church in Egypt:

As I'm aware, this is nothing new, except that this case has a strange twist to it: Permits were given to build the Church, and construction started, then the permits were revoked.
