Sharks v. Fish

I am not quite sure what to make of this story, but it troubles me:

CAIRO, Egypt, Nov. 29 —  First came the fish bumper stickers, imported from the United States and pasted on cars by members of Egypt’s Coptic minority as a symbol of their Christianity. Before long, some Muslims responded with their own bumper stickers: fish-hungry sharks.

Standard and accurate caveat #1: Religious relations are complicated, especially in the MIddle East, and it is always wrong to draw broad inferences about a group from the behavior of a few. Standard and accurate caveat #2: I am not nearly smart or knowledgeable enough to parse what this means, assuming it means anything.

Still, notwithstanding the caveats, I find it troubling.
