Christian community

Egypt Muslims to act as "human shields" at Coptic Christmas Eve mass

In Egypt, ministers and movie stars turn out for trouble-free Christmas mass
Egypt’s majority Muslim population stuck to its word Thursday night. What
had been a promise of solidarity to the weary Coptic community, was honoured
, when thousands of Muslims showed up at Coptic Christmas eve mass services
in churches around the country and at candle light vigils held outside.
From the well-known to the unknown, Muslims had offered their bodies as “
human shields” for last night’s mass, making a pledge to collectively
fight the threat of Islamic militants and towards an Egypt free from
sectarian strife.
“We either live together, or we die together,” was the sloganeering genius
of Mohamed El-Sawy, a Muslim arts tycoon whose cultural centre distributed
flyers at churches in Cairo Thursday night, and who has been credited with
first floating the “human shield” idea.
Among those shields were movie stars Adel Imam and Yousra, popular preacher
Amr Khaled, the two sons of President Hosni Mubarak, and thousands of
citizens who have said they consider the attack one on Egypt as a whole.
“This is not about us and them,” said Dalia Mustafa, a student who
attended mass at Virgin Mary Church on Maraashly. “We are one. This was an
attack on Egypt as a whole, and I am standing with the Copts because the
only way things will change in this country is if we come together.”
In the days following the brutal attack on Saints Church in Alexandria,
which left 21 dead on New Year’ eve, solidarity between Muslims and Copts
has seen an unprecedented peak. Millions of Egyptians changed their Facebook
profile pictures to the image of a cross within a crescent – the symbol of
an “Egypt for All”. Around the city, banners went up calling for unity,
and depicting mosques and churches, crosses and crescents, together as one.
The attack has rocked a nation that is no stranger to acts of terror,
against all of Muslims, Jews and Copts. In January of last year, on the eve
of Coptic Christmas, a drive-by shooting in the southern town of Nag Hammadi
killed eight Copts as they were leaving Church following mass. In 2004 and
2005, bombings in the Red Sea resorts of Taba and Sharm El-Sheikh claimed
over 100 lives, and in the late 90’s, Islamic militants executed a series
of bombings and massacres that left dozens dead.
This attack though comes after a series of more recent incidents that have
left Egyptians feeling left out in the cold by a government meant to protect
them.
Last summer, 28-year-old businessman Khaled Said was beaten to death by
police, also in Alexandria, causing a local and international uproar. Around
his death, there have been numerous other reports of police brutality,
random arrests and torture.
Last year was also witness to a brutal parliamentary election process in
which the government’s security apparatus and thugs seemed to spiral out of
control. The result, aside from injuries and deaths, was a sweeping win by
the ruling party thanks to its own carefully-orchestrated campaign that
included vote-rigging, corruption and rife brutality. The opposition was
essentially annihilated. And just days before the elections, Copts - who
make up 10 percent of the population - were once again the subject of
persecution, when a government moratorium on construction of a Christian
community centre resulted in clashes between police and protestors. Two
people were left dead and over 100 were detained, facing sentences of up to
life in jail.
The economic woes of a country that favours the rich have only exacerbated
the frustration of a population of 80 million whose majority struggle each
day to survive. Accounts of thefts, drugs, and violence have surged in
recent years, and the chorus of voices of discontent has continued to grow.
The terror attack that struck the country on New Year’s eve is in many ways
a final straw – a breaking point, not just for the Coptic community, but
for Muslims as well, who too feel marginalized, persecuted, and overlooked,
by a government that fails to address their needs. On this Coptic Christmas
eve, the solidarity was not just one of religion, but of a desperate and
collective plea for a better life and a government with accountability. | N***i
