Torched: The attackers set fire to cars within the church compound More gang members then surround the fallen cross and pulverise it with sticks. The six-minute video, obtained by MidEast Christian news, was shot on August 14. On the same day in Cairo, pro-Morsi street camps erupted into protest and security forces shot dead more than 600 people, sparking yet more violence and bloodshed across Egypt. The news site claims that the crowd - apparently made up of men and some children - had become enraged by the eviction of pro-Morsi supporters from the Cairo camps. Mob break into door of Coptic Church of St. George in Sohag,... The video begins from a vantage point outside the church walls. Subtitles explain that the attackers entered the church and chanted 'We sacrifice our souls and blood to save Islam'. The view then moves inside the church, where, according to subtitles, 'One of the attackers ordered his partner to break the cross.' Muslim mob attacks Coptic church in Egyptian city of Sohag Amid billowing black smoke, one man helps another to climb to the cross at the top of an arch. 'They chant "God is great" as the cross is broken,' read the subtitles, as the man tears the cross down and throws it to the crowd below. Coptic Christians say dozens of their churches have been attacked by members and supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood following the ousting of Morsi on July 3.

Bishop Makarios, a Coptic leader from Minya, accused Muslim Brotherhood leaders of planning attacks on Christian churches, homes and businesses in an effort to further divide the nation. Toppled: A man who has scaled an archway in the church breaks down the cross The man smashes the cross with a stick as he stands above the crowd The cross is pushed off the top of the arch into the courtyard below The waiting crowd surrounds the cross and breaks it into pieces with shouts of 'God is great' 'We were expecting this scenario weeks before sit-ins were broken up, as it was evident of the incitement being made by Brotherhood leaders against Copts,' Makarious told MidEast Christian News. 'We were then surprised by the systematic attacks on churches and Copts’ properties, many of them occurring at the same time in different places, in a series of attacks made under a plan they called "Plan B", which targeted all churches to be burned and destroyed.'
