După ce o biserică a fost recunoscută legal în Egipt, o mulțime de musulmani au atacat și au distrus casele, magazinele și mașinile creștinilor copți din zonă.
International Christian Concern, o asociație din Statele Unite, a raportat săptămâna aceasta că mai mulți musulmani au vandalizat proprietățile creștinilor din jurul Bisericii Mihail Arhanghelul. Aceștia au aruncat cu pietre în geamurile caselor și au dat foc la clădiri și la vehicule, în ciuda prezenței unui personal de securitate trimis în zonă pentru a proteja biserica, conform ICC.
Creștinii locali au așteptat ani de zile recunoașterea formală a bisericii, care a fost construită în 2003. Comitetul pentru Legalizarea Bisericilor Nelicențiate, care a fost format în ianuarie 2017 de reprezentanții autorităților centrale, locale, dar și din membri ai comunităților creștine, a recunoscut legal mai mult de 1.600 de biserici în Egipt, țară în care religia majoritară este Islamul.
