actually, Mubarak’s government had intelligence that the coptic christian’s in egypt we’re going to be attacked, specifically the church that was attacked in december. they knew this info and they still didn’t protect the coptic christians, leading them to be attacked. this revolution is NOT about religion, radicals, etc. Contrary to popular belief, Al-Qaida hates the Muslim brotherhood and vice versa.. This revolution was sparked by Tunisia,because the middle class citizens of ALL religions cannot find jobs, despite their education and skill due to the autocratic regime!

Egyptian Muslims act as “human shields” for Coptic Christmas mass

This happened on Jan. 6th (Coptic Christmas Eve). BEFORE the REVOLUTION!!! Father Marqus, the Bishop of Alexandria, said that in his entire life he had never seen the degree of solidarity of Muslims with Coptic Christians that he has witnessed in recent days. He said that Muslims attending the funeral of the Christian victims of the New Year’s Day bombing had treated them like Muslim martyrs, pronouncing ‘God is Great!’ in mourning, and had erupted in applause at the condemnation of the terrorists. He said that the bombing was like an aqua regia solution that would assay the metal of the Egyptian people and reveal their golden nature. The act of terror, he said, will have the opposite effect of the one intended, and will instead increase the love of Christians and Muslims for one another.

Then they united in a way like not seen in very often in today’s world.
From the well-known to the unknown, Muslims had offered their bodies as “human shields” for last night’s mass, making a pledge to collectively fight the threat of Islamic militants and towards an Egypt free from sectarian strife.
“We either live together, or we die together,” was the sloganeering genius of Mohamed El-Sawy, a Muslim arts tycoon whose cultural centre distributed flyers at churches in Cairo Thursday night, and who has been credited with first floating the “human shield” idea.
