A reputable newspaper splashed a headline that read “makwagī burns shirt, sparks fitnah that left 12 injured”.

Any reader of this news story that took place in the village of Dahshūr, Giza, would understand that the Christian makwagī (man ironing clothes in a shop for a living in Egypt) was the one who caused those sectarian troubles between Muslims and Christians.

However, going deeper into the story, one could easily find out that it was the newspaper that sparked this unrest because it at least did not wait for outcome of investigations that would reveal who really stirred the troubles.
