No, it's real. In case there is any confusion about the subject matter, you can refer to the weblink below in order to access an article explaining the event:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/2005102/ap_on_re_mi_ea/egypt_religious_conflict_1
And if this link doesn't work (since computers are mean!), you can find it urself by looking for the article. The title is "Egypt Police Guard Churches After Riots" and i found mine under Yahoo!News, but i'm sure other sites have the same articles as well.
If you guys have any questions, post them, and i'm sure that we'll all try to answer them Btw, personally, i believe this issue came about due to politics, not tension between religions. I just thought i'd throw that out there (i believe that it's explained in the article).
