Coptic Christians celebrate Christmas on January 7. On the eve of their celebrations in Egypt, Copts go to churches and celebrate the holy event. But this year an unexpected incident happened in Naga Hammady, in Upper Egypt, where an unknown criminal opened his fire randomly on people there after they finished their prayers and were on their way back to their homes.
Zeinobia wrote a new post about the massacre in her blog saying:
I am really very sorry and angry for what happened in Naj Hammadi yesterday. It hurts me more than the Egyptian Christians because what happened is against all Egyptians.
…
My condolences to the families of those who were killed  and injured in this disgusting attack.
Another blog, Coptic File, wrote about the incident:
On Misr Digital, Wael Abbas also published a video of Naga Hammay shootout on his blog.
The ministry of interior says that this attack is related to an older incident when a 12-year-old Muslim girl was raped by a Christian man in the same city. But Zeinobia can't see how such incident can be accepted as an excuse for the shooting. She also blames the ministry of interior for the whole thing:
And with my all respect this is ridiculous , fighting a crime by a group of crimes. I blame the ministry of interior in all of this , if there is a real respect and fear of the law nothing of this could happen.
Also, Nawara shares echoes similar sentiments. On the Ministry of Interior's press release regarding the shooting, she says:
Nawara also blamed the Egyptian Media:
The Cat of the Desert blamed the society and the extremists for all this.
He then posted a video of Abu Is-haq El Huwainy warning people form the Christians and the evil plots they make against Egypt!
The Egyptian blogger, Te3ma, on the other hand, believes that some foreign entities stand behind such incidents:
