Let's decipher the following article.
Reading it as it is written, violence between Christians and Muslims in Egypt resulted in 10 houses being burned.
"The cause is believed to be rumours of a relationship between a Coptic Christian man and a Muslim woman."
So was this violence started by Christians against Muslims? We're not told.
Were both Christian and Muslim houses burnt? We're not told.
The way it is written implies that the violence and resulting losses were equally split between both.
I'll make a bet it wasn't!
The BBC doing what they do best - allowing more extremist Muslims up their arse while they grease it for them - all paid for by the licence fee.

Homes burnt in southern Egypt Muslim-Christian violence
By Jon Leyne
BBC News, Cairo
At least 10 houses have been burnt down in a confrontation between Christians and Muslims in southern Egypt.
Egypt's Christian community represents some 10% of the population
No one was injured in the attack, the latest flare-up between Egypt's majority Muslims and Christians, who make up some 10% of the population.
The cause is believed to be rumours of a relationship between a Coptic Christian man and a Muslim woman.
The authorities say the remote village, in the south of the country, has now been cordoned off.
The incident is a symptom of the wider tensions between the two communities, where rumours are quick to spread, and both sides fear attack by the other.
The situation in Egypt was even cited by those who carried out an attack on a church in Iraq recently, causing heavy loss of life.
