Four Egyptian adherents of the Shia faith were killed in Egypt today when the house they were meeting in was attacked by Salafists, following two weeks of instigation against the Shia.
According to various reports, the house the Shia were meeting in, in Giza, Cairo, was attacked and burned. Al Badil News quotes a witness from the mortuary who says that one of those killed was slaughtered and the remaining three had injuries to their heads. The horrific incident unleashed anger online.
Hazem Barakat documented the crime, sharing bloodied photographs and a video of the attack online. On Twitter, he says he was threatened for sharing the incident he has witnessed. He adds
@7azem122: I am ready to testify at the Public Prosecutor and I will say what happened in detail and I will say that the clergymen were the ones who instigated this crime
He continues:
@7azem122: Instigating against the Shia started two weeks ago in all the mosques and today they executed their plan. Those clergymen are sons of dogs. They killed people with young children
Five hours ago he tweeted:
@7azem122: The Salafists have started to break the roof of the house the Shia are in. It is a surreal scene.
He also claims the police, including officers, were standing by and watching as the lynching took place.
The incident was met with anger online.
Satirist Dr Bassem Youssef tweets:
@DrBassemYoussef: Today it is a Shia; tomorrow a Sufi, and then a Copt, a before him a Bahai. Afterwards it will be a Muslim who doesn't agree with the way you want to implement Sharia (Islamic teachings) with your ideology and then it will be someone whose look you don't like
People gather at the alley in which the house where the Shia were killed in Cairo today.
Police remained idle as a home where Shia Egyptians were meeting today was attacked by Salafists, says.
