Obama supports the people who did this: When
the angry mob was rampaging through town, storming her home and those
of other Christians, the 70-year-old woman hid in her cow pen, pushing a
rock against the door. There she cowered for hours, at one point
passing out from tear gas being fired by police that seeped in.
When
Sameeha Wehba emerged just before dawn, she found she was the only
Christian left in this small Egyptian village just south of Cairo.
Dahshour's
entire Christian community — as many as 100 families some estimate —
fled to nearby towns in the violence earlier this week. The flock's
priest, cloaked in a white sheet to hide him, was taken out in a police
van. At least 16 homes and properties of Christians were pillaged and
some torched and a church damaged.
The
violence was ultimately rooted in a dispute over a badly ironed shirt
that escalated into a fight in which a Christian burned a Muslim to
death, in turn sparking the rampage by angry Muslims.
"It
was a devil's moment," Wehba said Thursday at the home of her Muslim
neighbors, who have taken her in. "Whoever caused this was the
devil's son."
