I am making no sense out of your complaint. The story was that there was a riot outside a church. The rioters were Muslim. The cops were presumably Muslim. There's no indication that any Christians participated in the fray although they were the provocation for it. And you want the headline to read "Muslims and Christians Clash Again"? That would not be accurate. The headline they printed was accurate. Thousands of Muslims Riot in outside Coptic CHRISTIAN Church "Christian" would be redundant. A church is a Christian house of worship. Headlines are necessarily sparsely worded. "Christian" would add nothing at all to "church." It makes no sense to me to object to the absence of a redundant word in a headline. (So you don't think the cops were Christian? Me: "Egyptian police are Christian? Who knew?" Your response: "AP should have known" Me: "So the police really are Christian?... Where did you get that information?" Your response: "From the same place I noted on the article" Me: "That's the same article" Your response: " You are hung up on cops." If you didn't think that the cops were Christian, you could have said so several posts upstream rather than dragging this out.)
