:: Riots still continuing now - 8:00 PM local time (resumed after 'iftar' - Ramadan's fast break). Tens confirmed wounded including 20 police officers. Perhaps we should have an OrthodoxWiki article about ''Church/Christians' persecution over '' throughout the ages since the Roman times of Sts. Perpetua and Felicita [http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/maps/primary/perpetua.html]and others, Nero and Diocletian's eras, etc., and up to modern times, including communist Russia and China, and Islamic Egypt (since 641 A.D.). In fact our Coptic calendar is the calendar of martyrs. Coptic years are counted from 284 A.D., the year Diocletian became Roman Emperor, whose reign was marked by tortures and mass executions of Christians, '''especially in Egypt'''. Hence, the Coptic year is identified by the abbreviation A.M. (for ''Anno Martyrum'' or "Year of the Martyrs") [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coptic_calendar].
