Cross walk's false news about the christains - muslims attack

It is luck only what let me attend the false story which came from cross walk news with the date 19/june 2009, as it said : there was an egyptian christain girl was kidnapped by a muslim guy so the police and copts interefered with force to realse her. The golden chance only which let me go and be sure if this news is right or not . for my best luck thje news came from Almahala Alkobra which my mother city and where I pass now my yearly vacation , I could attach with police and the copts leaders. Adding that I meet personally the big Pastor in the church there who denied all the news and applied his sorry for this falses which the news spread . I tried to know exactly the truth about the kidnapped girl and could know that the story is totally different , It talks about love story between the girl and the guy and they used to meet each other secretly without their familes knowlege , and then the girl asked to marry the guy as it will be a scandal if her family knew about her relationship with him and maybe they will kill her, the guy agreed and asked her to join him so they can escape and go marry by papers with a lawer , no one asked from the girl to change her religion . no soon the guy's family knew the story and told the girl's family as they are nearly neighbors . and they could stop this marriage . I must notice that these silly stories , happened everyday in an open society like egypt. It is ok to see girls love guys whatever their faith belonging and differences. thus you can see similar stories between muslims with muslims and christains with christains , So what's the importance to stop with these foolish ones . unless the aim to turn on a fire and make a war between the tow groups . however the reporters who support this kind of news , must be attention for the nature of the egyptian society . It is not logic to write false news and spread unless you are sure totally with . specailly when we know that this line of news can get a fire war . so where's the wisdom here?!
