Muslims and Christians lookng out for each other...

Christians protect Muslims during prayer in Cairo's dangerous Tahrir square
Meredith Birkett says: On Twitter, Nevine Zaki linked to a picture she said she photographed on Wednesday of Christians protecting Muslims during their prayers in Tahrir Square. The square in Cario continues to be a scene of violence between pro- and anti-Mubarak supporters who were wielding sticks and throwing rocks. She tweeted:

Bear in mind that this pic was taken a month after z Alexandria bombing where many Christians died in vain. Yet we all stood by each other

Greetings Each

I think in any Nation of mixed race ,culture and religion.Most people would get together and support each other in dire situations wheather that be a natural or political.

There are always a few in the midst who would want to unsettle that bond of humanity

if you take a pride of Lions for example it works well , the big the pride, contests for leadership develop and so it goes on to the eventual super powers of our own kind.

Well that's my view anyway.

the question is, would muslims protect christians during their prayer in the same situation?

I looked for this the earlier when I posted the picture.... Here is the link.

Muslims Protecting Christians with their Bodies
January 7, 2011 by Elizabeth Scalia
Egyptian Muslims had promised to act as human shields for the Coptic Christians in their Christmas Eve mass, and they were true to their words:
Egypt’s majority Muslim population stuck to its word Thursday night. What had a been a promise of solidarity to the weary Coptic community, was honoured, when thousands of Muslims showed up at Coptic Christmas eve mass services in churches around the country and at candle light vigils held outside.
From the well-known to the unknown, Muslims had offered their bodies as “human shields” for last night’s mass, making a pledge to collectively fight the threat of Islamic militants and towards an Egypt free from sectarian strife.
“We either live together, or we die together,” was the sloganeering genius of Mohamed El-Sawy, a Muslim arts tycoon whose cultural centre distributed flyers at churches in Cairo Thursday night, and who has been credited with first floating the “human shield” idea.
Among those shields were movie stars Adel Imam and Yousra, popular preacher Amr Khaled, the two sons of President Hosni Mubarak, and thousands of citizens who have said they consider the attack one on Egypt as a whole.
“This is not about us and them,” said Dalia Mustafa, a student who attended mass at Virgin Mary Church on Maraashly. “We are one. This was an attack on Egypt as a whole, and I am standing with the Copts because the only way things will change in this country is if we come together.”

Wow I'm actually impressed. Allah no being big on infidels vs jesus who apparently loves everyone... 2 religions 90% similar helping each other out.

Well, good for them.
