Egypt bans Hamas
How things have changed: it wasn’t all that long ago that Hamas’s Ismail Haniyeh was meeting with Muslim Brotherhood Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi in Cairo. Hamas-linked groups in the U.S. such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) will be hardest hit by this news — ironically, now they have a freer hand to operate […]
Egypt Sheikh calls for Sharia against Muslim Brotherhood: “cutting off their hands, crucifying them”
Here is yet more indication that the Muslim Brotherhood’s fall from power in Egypt doesn’t mean that the country is now dominated by Western-oriented secularists. Even some supporters of the regime are clearly Sharia supremacists. Shaheen’s recommendation here is straight from the Qur’an: “Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His […]
Some Copts practice FGM “as a matter of assimilation to the Muslim majority. This must stop.”
It is the mainstream media’s universal practice to claim that female genital mutilation (FGM) is a cultural practice with no justification in any religion, and to point out that around 97% of women in Egypt have been subjected to it, which means that Christian women as well as Muslim women are among the victims of […]
Egyptian TV play depicts Mossad agents scheming for world domination, engineering Arab Spring
The Muslim Brotherhood has been driven from power for now, but that doesn’t mean that everyone in the corridors of power in Egypt is now a Western-style pluralist “moderate.” This bizarre and ugly TV play gives full vent to Islamic antisemitism, abundantly (and risibly — I love the part where they start shouting “Long live […]
Egypt: Christian Syrian family slaughtered
A Christian Syrian family living in Alexandria, Egypt, was barbarically stabbed to death Monday in their home in the al-Ibrahimya neighborhood, Arabic media are reporting. The family consisted of a father, 44, his wife, 35, their 6-year-old son, Michael, and the wife’s brother. After the murders, the house, where the family had been living for years, […]
Egypt: Sinai jihadists say all tourists must leave by Feb. 20 or be killed
The Qur’an suggests that ruins are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth: Many were the Ways of Life that have passed away before you: travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth. (Qur’an 3:137) This is one of the foundations of the Islamic […]
Egypt: Jihad/martyrdom suicide bomber behind bus blast; victims were Korean Christians visiting holy sites
“An al-Qaeda-linked Islamist group, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, took responsibility for the bombing. On its Twitter account, the organization promised to continue to attack Egypt’s economy, tourism, and military.” Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis means Supporters of the Holy House, that is, Supporters of Jerusalem — illustrating in itself the truth of Aviv Oreg’s observation that attacks like […]
Video: The moment of the Sinai bus jihad explosion
Imagine if you had been there. Be thankful that you weren’t. But pause for a moment to think of the horrible human cost of Islamic jihad.
Egypt refuses to allow Israeli ambulances to aid at site of Sinai tourist bus bombing
#PHOTO: Israeli ambulances await at the border with #Egypt after being refused entry by Egypt: pic.twitter.com/FQqkwDtVin (via @cairotoday) — Egyptian Streets (@EgyptianStreets) February 16, 2014 Islamic antisemitism trumps all humanitarian concerns. And if you think there is something wrong with those priorities, then you’re obviously a bigoted, hatemongering Islamophobe. It is much better that people […]
Muslim Brotherhood crows that three “Zionist tourists” killed in Sinai
Brotherhood official Twitter account (Arabic of course): 3 Zionists were killed in the Taba tourist bus explosion. pic.twitter.com/rguXFEXfZo — The Big Pharaoh (@TheBigPharaoh) February 16, 2014 Such lovely people, the Ikhwan.
Egypt: Sinai tourist bus explodes, three dead, 27 wounded
UPDATE: The explosion appears to have been caused by a “device” placed on the bus — hence the murderous attack is almost certainly the work of the warriors of Allah: MOI: 3 Koreans killed, 14 injured. 32 passengers. device was already on bus coming from St Catherine. Went off during a drop off at Hilton […]
Egypt: Islamic supremacist groups planned to attack synagogues
These synagogues are not active, but are preserved as Egyptian heritage sites. However, given the virulence of Islamic antisemitism, the visceral hatred against those whom the Qur’an designates as “the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers” (5:82), they’re still targets for Islamic jihadists. “‘Islamist groups planned to attack Egyptian synagogues,’” from […]
Egypt: U.S. Embassy official in contact with Muslim Brotherhood arrested
Barack Obama has been an indefatigable and unstinting supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, as well as of its proxies in the U.S. Thus it is not surprising that U.S. Embassy employees in Cairo would be Brotherhood allies as well. Obama was the target of vociferous criticism during the anti-Brotherhood demonstrations last summer for […]
Egypt upholds death sentence for 14 Islamic jihadists
These Islamic jihadists are from a group that calls itself Tawheed wal Jihad. Tawheed is the Islamic concept of absolute monotheism, and jihad is the Islamic doctrine of warfare against unbelievers. Yet the one thing that Western analysts routinely discount in their analyses of jihad terrorism is the religious motivation, despite the fact that the […]
Egypt: New hijabbed comic superheroine fights “Islamophobia”
This is so great: now we have two Muslim comic book superheroines, Qahera and Kamala. Clearly some Muslims in the media business realize that Islam has a serious image problem; what they don’t realize is that comic book heroines fighting against “Islamophobia” won’t solve it. When will we get a Muslim comic book superheroine who […]
German professor: The idea that the Copts welcomed the Muslims as liberators is no longer tenable
The idea that the Coptic Christians in Egypt welcomed the Arab troops as liberators in the mid-seventh century is a staple of Islamic apologetics today, and (not surprisingly, given the abysmal state of academia today) is generally accepted among historians. However, it has always had weak foundations, and is actually yet another example of a […]
Interfaith outreach in Egypt: 26 Molotov cocktails found next to a church
Keep quiet about this! “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims.” — Robert McManus, Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts, February 8, 2013. And no, it’s not cocktail hour. “Twenty-Six Molotov Cocktail […]
Egypt wars with latest jihadi group
The clashes took place in the region of Sheikh Zawid, where earlier reports had said militant groups were terrorizing the civilian population and using women and children as human shields. Sources also said that several weapon caches were destroyed or seized. Six of the eight slain were members of the jihadi organization Ansar Bayt al-Muqadis, an […]
Egypt: Muslims attack Church of the Virgin Mary in Cairo, murder a police officer
Islamic supremacists continue to blame the Christians of Egypt for the toppling of Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood regime — and this has heated up again with Morsi on trial. “Cairo, Coptic Orthodox church attacked. One dead,” from Asia News, January 29 (thanks to C. Cantoni): Cairo (AsiaNews) – A group of armed men yesterday […]
Al-Qaeda to Morsi: Execute all Christians and secularists who oppose Sharia
Many of the alleged telephone recordings between ousted Egyptian president Muhammad Morsi and Muhammad Zawahiri, al-Qaeda leader Ayman Zawahiri’s brother, are becoming available on Egyptian media, and will likely be part of Morsi’s February 16 trial, dealing with his alleged conspiracies with variously foreign jihadi organizations. One call is especially telling regarding al-Qaeda’s enmity for […]
