Fire to a church in Egypt after a fight between Muslims

.- A church was burned today in Egypt by a mob that attacked the temple after the death of two Muslims in the same family who fought for the daughter of one of them had an affair with a Christian. The dead were a farmer and a family member who died last night in the village Sol, south of Cairo, after holding a fight that escalated into a shootout, which also injured another person in the same family, according to a source security services, quoted by the Mena news agency.

The discussion arose because the farmer's daughter was dating a Christian merchant and his relatives did not look favorably upon that relationship. Now, after the funeral of the two deaths, a large number of people went to the church of the "Two Martyrs" and set it on fire, and destroy some of their furniture.

Civil protection and fire fighters rushed to the scene to evacuate the religious who were in the temple, where no one was injured. The Interior Ministry has appealed to citizens to curb the effects of this event and "reject the items that are intended to promote sectarian violence," said Mena.

Last Eve, a total of 23 people were killed in an attack on a church in Alexandria in the Egyptian Mediterranean coast. According to the Egyptian authorities, the Palestinian group Army of Islam, linked to Al Qaeda, was the one who planned and perpetrated the attack.
