The police said it was a short circuit, but Copts United says “unidentified people” set the shops on fire. There is only one group of “unidentified people” who would have any interest in doing such a thing, and for which police would have sympathy.
“4 shops owned by Copts are burned in Mallawy,” by Nader Shoukry, Copts United, December 1, 2014 (thanks to Maged):
Unidentified people have set four shops owned by Copts in Mallawy, Minya governorate, on fire.
Firefighters were hardly able to extinguish the fire. Later, police announced the fire was caused by electric short circuit.
Tight security measures were taken by police in Egypt to deal with demonstrations by the Islamists on November 28.

Later, police announced the fire was caused by electric short circuit.
The only short circuit was in the synapses in the lower brains of the mujahidin who torched the places. These lead to religious riots in the form of Jihad-in-action. Ask any Hindu about religious riots, it’s a term of art among the Infidel intellectuals over in the subcontinent.
Salah says
I don’t know whether it was an electric short circuit or not. But what I do know is that the Muslim Brotherhood thugs and their Salafi sympathisers have been hoping for the Nov 28, demonstrations to create chaos in the country; they failed miserably.
Most of them had to run and hide like the vermins they are for fear of the wrath of the Egyptian people.
They will always manage to burn a few shops, especially the Christian ones. They’ll always manage to plant a few bombs here and there (security forces had to desactivate a few dozens on that day,) they’ll always manage to kill some police officers (3 or 4 were killed on that day.) BUT, they’ll NEVER EVER come back to power again, not in Egypt. They are despised by the whole population, both Christians and Muslims.

“And Francis visits Turkey in order to make a common platform for worshiping the same God”.
Perhaps the Muslim Turks will show Imam Francis around the tens of thousands of Christian churches that they have turned into Mosques.
I’m sure he will be delighted to see these examples of the Muslim version of interfaith outreach.

Thugs of the Muslim Brotherhood. Vigilantism is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

This is so sad, of course it was Muslim Terrorists, who else? For many years, in the states, we had a Coptic family living next to us. My friend’s father was the doctor that ran the clinic, in Alexandria, and where they still have a place. Her dad is long gone, though, he never turned away another, though, it was a tough life, since they were Coptic. Pray for these people, they are slaughtering them, and deserve a better life..

“Move on!
Nothing to see here.
Just some muslims doing Allahs work!
No violence to be found at all”
Jerry says
It was just a number of friendly and peaceful local Muslim volunteer firemen who were busy trying to extinguish the fires using the only containers they had – gasoline cans.
They were trusting in Allah and his Prophet for it to work as well as it usually does, in their hands.

Barry’s view? “Workplace violence!”
