The truth of course is that many of the Muslim Brotherhood supporters are extraordinarily violent and that they know that forcing the soldiers to use violence is a great way to get press coverage from a dhimmified Western media; something that will in turn have a good chance of getting the EU and the US to drop any support for the provisional* government and hopefully start sending weapons to the MB - just as we have done in Syria.

The Defense Minister has taken the bold step of promising to rebuild Christian Churches that have been ruined by MB supporters. This is a noble but risky move. The MB blames the Christians for the ouster of Morsi in the first place and repairing the churches will just reinforce this assumption and possibly result in other Muslims joining in with the MB. The promise is also a tall order as the amount of Churches that have suffered damage is sickeningly long; another fact that the Western media ignores.

A resident in the area told The Associated Press that the gunmen randomly opened fire on a street as Christians were celebrating a feast day. He spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.
