After the ousting of former President of Egypt Hosni Mubarak in which Christians and Muslims worked together, tensions between the two religions have been steadily rising. It was the impression of the Christian population that upon the institution of a new government Egypt would no longer have Islam as the state religion and that Christians would stop being treated as 'second class citizens'. However, after a Muslim girl was caught seeing a Christian boy, violence has erupted between the groups. Christian churches are being burnt to the ground, 13 are dead and over 140 have been killed during the clashes.
