(TRUNEWS) A 70-year-old Christian woman was beaten and paraded through the streets of Egypt by an angry Muslim mob – completely naked.
About 300 men ganged up on the lady in a small village in the southern part of the country.
The criminals were angered over a rumor that the woman’s son was having a relationship with a Muslim woman. They burned down several homes of Christian families.
It took two hours for police to respond to the violence, as reported by The Independent. By that time, most of the assailants were gone. Law enforcement had been warned of an impending attack the day before but looked the other way.
Tensions between the two religions continue to escalate, as many Muslims and Christians have relationships, which is prohibited by Islamic rules. Christians make up about 10 percent of the Egyptian population.
The Coptic church, in a rare move, is speaking out about the uptick in clashes, claiming authorities favor the Muslims in these cases.
“No one did anything and the police took no pre-emptive or security measures in anticipation of the attacks,” said Anba Makarios, a senior cleric. “We are not living in a jungle or a tribal society. It’s incorrect for anyone to declare himself judge, police and ruler.”
The major of Minya is playing down the crime and claimed the woman was not stripped.
