A Christian man and his son have been
attacked by a Muslim man in Giza, Egypt.
Joseph Israel and his son were attacked
by Ahmad Mouhammad outside Mr Israel’s
wine shop. Mr Mouhammad attacked both
with a knife before
some of Mr Israel’s
Muslim neighbours
intervened and beat
the assailant badly. Mr Mouhammad, Mr
Israel and his son are currently in hospital
receiving medical
treatment
for
their
injuries. Journalist Nader Shokry suggested
that
these attacks are
the
result of hate
speech and
sectarian
incitement by
local
Islamist preachers.
