POST SCRIPTUM – This article had just been posted online when the news came of the killing of a Coptic priest in Asyut, in Upper Egypt. Thousands of Christians took to the streets to protest, clashing with Muslims. Asyut is the Egyptian city with the highest concentration of Copts, and the birthplace of their current patriarch, Shenouda III. In the surrounding area there are important monasteries and a shrine dedicated to Mary, an extremely popular destination for both Christians and Muslims.
