Decent Muslims Turn Out to Protect Christians

This is how to make a good society.

When Muslim extremists threatened to attack Christians on Christmas eve, ordinary decent Muslims turned out by the thousands to act as human shields to protect their Christian neighbors.

That all of this happened in Egypt, where Christians are a small minority, and the government has turned a blind eye to Muslim attacks on Christians, makes this story all the more remarkable and heroic.

It reminds me of a few decent Christians risking their lives to protect Muslims from hords of angry Christian extremists trying to bomb mosques.

Good but should not be an exception and a news story.

It is a man bites dog story, I am glad to hear it.
