Egypt's Muslims attend Coptic Christmas mass, serving as "human shields" - Ahram Online: "thousands of Muslims showed up at Coptic Christmas eve mass services in churches around the country and at candle light vigils held outside.

I think I hear Jesus' words whispering somewhere in the background: "...in as much as you did this to one of these my little ones, you did it to me." ....?
