Copts are Egyptian Christians.  They were the targets of bombings on New Year's Eve that killed almost two dozen people.  The article above talks about how their Muslim neighbors vowed to guard their Christian neighbors during Christmas Eve worship (the Copts follow the Alexandrian calendar, not the Gregorian one used by us Westerners) by setting themselves up as human shields outside their places of worship.

It's good.  And there hasn't been any further news coverage on it, so I'll assume that it's all gone well.  If Muslims claim to follow a religion of peace, then tangible steps to prevent radical minorities from hijacking their religion is going to be necessary.
