Vanderbilt University was founded in 1873 by the Methodist Church. In 1914, the school and church severed ties (leading Methodists to create Southern Methodist University in Dallas). Last year, Vanderbilt forced the Christian Legal Society on its campus to remove Bible verses and the words "Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior" from its constitution. Now the university has stated that Christian groups cannot have guidelines requiring specific beliefs for their leaders.

Mary Abdelmassih, writing for the Assyrian International News Agency (www.aina.org) said that the violence started after a rumor was spread that a Coptic man had an allegedly intimate photo of a Muslim woman on his mobile phone. The Coptic man, Mourad Samy Guirgis, surrendered to the police for his protection.
