Den bisher detailliertesten Augenzeugenreport von dem Massaker an den Kopten in Kairo hat Yasmine El Rashidi in der New York Review of Books<\/a> abgeliefert. Es ist ein ersch\u00fctterndes Dokument, das leider meine schlimmsten Bef\u00fcrchtungen<\/a> best\u00e4tigt, dass \u00c4gypten in Gefahr ist, sich unter dem Druck der Islamisten, der Ex-Mubarak-Kr\u00e4fte und des w\u00fctenden P\u00f6bels zur H\u00f6lle f\u00fcr Andersgl\u00e4ubige zu wandeln.<\/p>\n

Around 7:30 PM, I received text and Twitter messages that an announcer for State TV had on air called for Egyptians to go down and \u201cdefend the soldiers who protected the Egyptian revolution\u201d against \u201carmed Copts\u201d who had opened fire and were killing soldiers. Looking around me, I could see that many of those gathered in the tight area around the TV building seemed to have responded to the call. Rough-looking men were arriving in groups; people said they were neighborhood thugs. They held bludgeons, wooden planks, knives, and even swords, and walked boldly into the chaos of burning cars, flying bullets, and glass. \u201cWe\u2019ll kill any Christian we get our hands on,\u201d one of them shouted. Someone tweeted that he was in the middle of what looked like a militia, \u201cmen with clubs and antique pistols.\u201d Nearby, a young girl was harassed, and a mob assaulted a young Coptic couple, beating them and ripping their clothes. One of the perpetrators emerged from the gang with blood on his hands. \u201cChristian blood!\u201d he boasted. (The couple survived\u2014rushed away by ambulance to be treated for wounds and possible fractures.)<\/p>\n

For the next few hours, the violence ebbed and flowed between riot police, soldiers, Copts, and mobs. I could see clashes up on the bridge and was told that the army was chasing protesters through the streets of downtown. I was chased myself at one point, up a ramp. Young boys were also flocking in\u2014many of them teenagers, some as young as nine or ten. They picked up rocks and threw them, challenging anyone to fight back, shrieking insults about Christians, and chanting for an Islamic state. Many of them looked familiar\u2014the same youth I had seen gather outside the Israeli embassy a few weeks before, and at other protests in recent months that had turned violent. Soldiers looked on, many of them leaving the rowdy crowds to battle, while others tried to break up the mobs. The sirens of ambulances rushing to and from the area could be heard in all directions.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Vivian and Michael<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

By 10 p.m., as the crackdown continued and dozens of box-shaped olive-green Central Security Forces trucks rolled in as reinforcement, 23-year-old Michael, the young Copt I had met in Shubra that afternoon, had been confirmed dead. Images and footage from the morgue taken by friends show him covered in a white sheet while his fianc\u00e9e Vivian sobbed by his side, holding his hand, saying she wouldn\u2019t leave him. He had been crushed beneath a twelve-ton APC. His legs had been almost severed and internal organs ruptured. Police then beat him as he lay on the sidewalk, Vivian begging them to have mercy as he gasped his last breaths. \u201cYou infidel,\u201d they had screamed back at her.<\/p>\n

Frau El Rashidi beschreibt auch, dass es f\u00fcr den M\u00f6rder an den Christen in Nag Hammadi, der k\u00fcrzlich hingerichtet wurde, eine nach tausenden z\u00e4hlende Trauerprozession gab:<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, as Copts were mourning their loved ones, the funeral procession of the executed gunman, El-Kamouny, marched through the streets of the southern city where he opened fire on Copts as they were leaving church on Christmas eve, killing six. Thousands of Muslims marched through the streets with his coffin. They chanted \u201cLa Illaha IlaAllah, La Illaha IlaAllah, El-Kamouny shaheed Allah<\/em>\u201d (There is no God but Allah, There is no God but Allah, El-Kamouny is a martyr of Allah). People cheered them on. El-Kamouny, in their eyes, was a hero.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
