"Tunisia. Egypt. Libya. And Now Bahrain. Protests have spread throughout the Middle East like a wild fire -- and you might assume that it's all just a matter of popular sentiment. But if you take a step back, you find that the countries that have seen the most protests also share some deep, structural similarities."

March 9 Eleven people died in overnight fighting between Christians and Muslims in the suburbs of Cairo, in the deadliest unrest since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak, which was striking for the solidarity between people of different backgrounds. The clashes broke out during a protest by several hundred Christians over the burning of a church in the village of Soul a week earlier, and raged into the early hours of the morning, adding to a sense of unease as the country charts a post-Mubarak future.
