Walking through Coptic Cairo I heard what I thought was someone reciting the Qur'an. That's not unusual here, but we were in the Christian part of the city. It was the Bible! I know it should be obvious that Christianity has been influenced by Islam — even if Christianity came first, it's still an overwhelmingly Muslim country — but even so, it took me by surprise to hear the Bible recited in this very ….Islamic way.

I taped about 45 seconds of it before I got dragged away. Listen.
