Egyptian Orthodox Bishop Says Muslims Upset; Receives Muslim Support After Church Bombing

The Catholic News website reports today (January 3, 2010) that an Egyptian Orthodox Bishop said he has received many messages of support from Muslims, after a January 1 church bombing in Alexandria that killed about two dozen people.

Mideast Catholic leaders also sent messages of support to their fellow Orthodox Christians.

"We have to pray. We have to pray for peace," Coptic Orthodox Bishop Youhannes Zakaria of Luxor, Egypt said.

"They (Muslims) don't accept this violence. They are very upset about this," the bishop said.
