I wish those who did this would "pick on someone their own size", so to speak. They're just targeting a relatively defenseless religious minority because it's easier than attacking Sisi's government directly. Well, that and prejudice, but you know what I mean.

And sometimes it's people of Sisi's own faction:

The sad irony is that the Coptic Pope gave Sisi's coup full support... then again, almost everybody had, except of the Muslim Brotherhood, of course.
