Worshipers in Alexandria, Egypt, returned Sunday to the church that was the target of a deadly New Year’s Eve bombing to hold a somber mass amid sobering reminders of the worst attack on Egypt’s Christian minority in more than a decade.

If you believed, as some Egyptian Muslims seem to, that the very existence of beliefs inconsistent with your own were a threat to you and your chance at some eternal reward, you might think it reasonable to extinguish it at any cost too.
