She’s right. Many (most?) English-language MSM outlets are describing the Islamist attacks on Christian Coptics at Abbasiya Cathedral as “clashes”:

- Egypt: Clashes outside Copt Cathedral leave 1 dead
- One dead, 66 wounded in Cairo clashes after funeral
- Egyptian Copts and Muslims clash again, in central Cairo
- Christian mourners, mob, police clash in Egypt
- In Egypt, Coptic Christians Clash With Muslims Over Murders
That’s the same neutral word that Egypt’s Islamist President used:

Come on, MSM, tell the truth:
"Clashes between Coptic Christians, residents outside Egyptian cathedral" No, @AP, one-sided attack, not two-sided clash.
