Saturday night on the 7th of May 2011, a clash had erupted between fundamental Muslims and Orthodox Christians at an area called Imbaba in Cairo, Egypt. It was broadcast-ed allover the world that the clash was a result of a Christian lady that converted to Islam and the Church took custody of her and some Fundamental Muslims gathered at the church in numbers to take her out and release her and Orthodox Christians stood against them to defend their church. Without giving any details of the incident.
But the true story is exactly as the following:
A Christian Orthodox lady have fallen in love with a Muslim guy and got married to him and converted to Islam. But her family , as any Middle Eastern Orthodox family, didn’t like the idea of their daughter to get married to a guy outside of their religion. So they kidnapped the lady and took custody of her at the church. So her husband wanted to take back his beloved wife. So he called the police and then the chief of the police of his area took him and went to the church to talk to the people over there to take his wife back. The cop wanted to solve this problem peacefully , but group of the lady’s family stood against them and prevented them from taking her back. So the guy got mad , so he gathered his friends and many others to go and take his wife back by force and of-course fundamental Muslims knew about it, as they are already around that Imbaba area a lot, and they went to protest in-front of the church.
Then the clashes have started and then rumors around the area spread among both sides, that already live together in the same area peacefully, so every body started to gather his friends from the same religion and then the clashes increased and gun shots came up from some thugs.
At least 9 people have been killed from both sides and more than 170 injured. Military and Police forces interfered to stop the clashes and they built blockades around that area and fetish every body passing just to stop any more barbarian actions.
In my opinion, first of all , that lady’s family should not have taken custody of her by the church because that would automatically bring up questions and Fundamental Muslims will mis-understand it and think that the church is backing up such an action. And secondly , her family should not kidnap her and they should let her choose the one that she want to marry and spend the rest of her life with.
End of story and have a nice weekend every body.

Well received Mr. Maher , we already know that there is no racism in Egypt among the people , they are very peaceful and hospitable people and 20 million foreign tourists every year in Egypt that gives $12.4 Bn of revenue to the Egyptian economy , as per reports on Bloomberg Television and other economical reports, that means Egypt still the right place to visit every year. We also know that Imbaba area is not a classy and only religious clashes happen within low standard and simple minded people. And we are confident that Egypt will pass this issue, the solution is just like a piece of cake.
Cheers.
