Egyptian Muslims Attend Christmas Eve Services as "Human Shields"
Many Egyptian Muslims did something Thursday they'd never done before: celebrated Christmas. A week after a terrorist bombing killed 21 Christians in Alexandria, thousands of Muslims attended Coptic Christmas Eve services or stood at candlelight vigils outside churches in a (successful) effort to prevent further attacks on Christians. According to Ahram Online, at least two Muslim movie stars, a popular preacher, and two sons of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak were among those who acted as human shields, saying they considered last week's bombing an attack "on Egypt as a whole." The effort was the brainchild of Mohamed El-Sawy, described as a "Muslim arts tycoon" who distributed information about the project from his cultural center in Cairo. "We either live together, or we die together," El-Sawy said. Ahram says "solidarity between Muslims and Copts has seen an unprecedented peak" since the bombing. "Millions of Egyptians changed their Facebook profile pictures to the image of a cross within a crescent – the symbol of an 'Egypt for All.' Around the city, banners went up calling for unity, and depicting mosques and churches, crosses and crescents, together as one."
