A policeman shot dead a Christian on a train in Egypt on Tuesday and wounded five other people, including the man's wife, as tensions remain high after a New Year's church bombing killed 21 people, the Interior Ministry said. The shooter's motives were not immediately clear, but the ministry said at least four of the five people hurt were Coptic Christians. And a Coptic bishop said that the gunman, named by the ministry as Amer Ashur Abdel Zaher, had sought out Christians on board the train and shouted a Muslim slogan -- Allahu Akbar (God is greatest) -- as he opened fire. http://article.wn.com/view/2011/01/12/Policeman_kills_Christian_on_Egypt_train/
Americans have already figured out the Sunni Islamic tradition of killing off other religions.
A sociologist would say that religion is less of an issue and the real problem is country boys from Africa seeing a world that confuses them. But we are not all sociologists so we simply bound the problem as an Arab Sunni Islamic problem.
