Egyptian Muslims in clash over conversion to Christianity rumour

CAIRO (Reuters) - A crowd of Egyptian Muslims angered by rumours a woman had converted to Christianity clashed with police on Friday outside the church where they believe she has taken shelter, security sources said.

The disturbances outside the church in Kom Ombo near Aswan, around 1,000 km (620 miles) south of Cairo, were the latest case of a rumoured conversion sparking strife between Christian and Muslim communities - an incendiary issue that has often fed sectarian tensions here.
