Cairo: In another series of the recurring
incidents of churches being attacked by mentally
deranged Muslims, and for the second time within 12
weeks, the same Muslim impinged on the church of St.
George in Mansheyet Eltahrir, Ain Shams.
On Wednesday 25th March, 35-year-old Muslim Tolba Aly
Tolba assaulted a church worker and tried to molest a
young Coptic girl in church. However, the girl was
rescued by Churchgoers and the assailant was handed over
to police.
He is presently under investigation by the prosecutors
who ordered his detention for four days pending
investigation. He is charged with the misdemeanor of
impinging on houses of worship.
The same offender Tolba carried out last December a
previous attack on the same church, threatened and tried
to assault a security guard at the Church with a knife
he had in his possession, and broke into the church by
force. He was transferred to Ain Shams police station,
where he said in the investigations that he was
suffering from a psychological disorder and was mentally
not sound. Consequently the Church's lawyer George Farid
Nicola waived the Church's report against the offender,
leaving the matter with the prosecution to take the
necessary action against him regarding his mental state.
Lawyer Nicola, said: "The church congregation expressed
their discontent at the repetition of such acts from
that person, who had stormed the church previously with
a weapon, but was released after 15 days in custody, to
come back and repeat the same actions again on
Wednesday; he was also the same person, who three days
ago destroyed three cars parked in front of the church
belonging to Copts without any action being taken
against him".
Nicola said that there are security personnel outside
the church, but the assailant entered the church
quickly, without being seen and tried to abuse one of
the girls, which is why the church congregation are
discontented for no deterrent action been taken against
this person, who is described by some as psychological
deranged, indicating that should this person be mentally
ill, why is he not placed in a hospital for treatment,
for the protection of humans from his criminal actions?
Why is this person always aiming at St. Georges Church
in Mansheyet Eltahrir?!
Nicola demanded an end to such rhetoric, which threatens
the safety and lives of churchgoers and causes them
undue panic and fear, stressing the need to take a
decisive stand against such a person, either by being
put in prison or by being placed in a psychiatric
hospital if it actually proven that he is really
suffering from Psychosis! (From inputs from sources)
