Muslims Protecting Christians in Egypt

A really beautiful story about unity in Egypt, where thousands of Muslims showed up to serve more or less as human shields, protecting the Coptic Christians at their Christmas Mass on January 7 (different calendars). Among the Muslim protectors present were the two sons of the current Egyptian president. The entire story is worth reading, and very encouraging.

God is indeed great. Thank you for such wonderful news. I'm reminded of the saying that all it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing. When good men are united, evil will be defeated.
