Melee after funeral for slain family

From the Kansas City Star. To review the details of the matter of Hossam Amanious, see here and here. I had heard, of course, that some Muslims had contacted the local Coptic bishop to express condolences (that they might or might not actually feel) and announce their intention to attend the funeral. Well, today in the Star, I now learn that Coptic and Muslim attendees pushed and shoved one another, and from another source I heard that the Jersey City cops had to break it up.

This isn't over by a long shot.
