Christian beheads Muslim in Egypt! No, wait --

Yet another setback for the "all religions are equally likely to inspire violence" crowd. Note the official indifference and complicity. "Muslim Man Beheads Christian in Egypt," by Mary Abdelmassih for AINA, September 21:

Egypt (AINA) -- Osama Araban, a Muslim man riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, went on a rampage last week in Egypt, killing 63-year old Coptic Christian Abdo George Younan, in the village of Bagour, before traveling onwards and stabbing with intention to kill two other Copts in two different villages, at least 10 km apart (AINA 9-18-2009).

In the village of Behnay he repeatedly stabbed Coptic shoemaker Adib Boulos before being stopped by eyewitness Behman Saeed, after whom Osama Araban ran, leaving the victim behind. Adib suffered a broken scull and lung hemorrhage, and is still fighting for his life in intensive care unit at Shebin el-Kom Hospital.

Osama Araban then traveled to the village of Mit Afif and stabbed his third victim, Sobhy Barsum, a blacksmith. He also stabbed his brother Hani Barsum in the neck -- only to be saved by a co-worker. Hani was also hospitalized.

Osama Araban was arrested the following day.

The funeral procession of Abdo Younan was attended by thousands of Copts, led by Metropolitan Archbishop Benjamin of Menoufia Diocese and seventeen clergymen. Hundreds of banners were held, showing the amount of anger and injustice felt by Copts. Anti State Security chants were heard during the procession, besides calling on President Mubarak and the government to save the Copts from the hands of the fundamentalist[s] who are killing them.

This incident which took place on September 16, 2009, has left Copts in Egypt shocked and angered, not only because attacks against Copts have been escalating, but because of the way the murder was committed.

The details of the attacks, not told by the media, but exposed by Coptic lawyers and activists, reveal that 35-year old car painter Osama Araban not only stabbed Abdo nine times but also severed his head from his body -- an Islamic ritual beheading. He then meticulously washed his bayonet with the water hose the victim was using, before setting off on his motorcycle to the next two villages, looking for more Coptic victims....

No Muslim has ever been sentenced justly for killing a Copt. Consequently, the Egyptian Government's manipulation of facts is not to save the Copt's murderer from a just punishment, but more to save its face in front of the Western world for being blatantly unjust towards the Coptic victim, given that Egypt is a member of the UN Human Rights Council which is responsible for the protection of human rights around the globe.

Osama...you are in the hands of the Lord now may you rest in peace now.

"Egypt is a member of the UN Human Rights Council which is responsible for the protection of human rights around the globe."

Other members of the HR Council currently include: Nigeria, Cuba, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Bosnia. With defenders and protectors of rights like these, I'll bet that Burma, N. Korea, Botswana, Yemen and the Sudan are shaking in their boots. Not.

From above: Osama...you are in the hands of the Lord now may you rest in peace now.

Yeah...I wonder which 'Lord' that is...if It's Allah, Osama will get what he deserves...
The Copts should not rely on Egyptian authorities to protect them, they never have and they are not likely to start now...
The Copts are between a rock and a hard place, they can't stay and they can't leave, they can't protect themselves and they cannot 'not' protect themselves...The abuses will continue...Allah willing ...and he always is...

The jihad never ends. As long as Islam exists, the jihad will as well. We can ask Muslims to reform Islam, but we should bear in mind that in the 1400 years of Islamic rule, no one has succeeded in changing the evil dictates of Mohammed and his followers. It is somewhat similar to asking the Grand Dragon of the KKK to turn in his sheets.

Hundreds of banners were held, showing the amount of anger and injustice felt by Copts. Anti State Security chants were heard during the procession, besides calling on President Mubarak and the government to save the Copts from the hands of the fundamentalist[s] who are killing them.

The presence of "hundreds of banners" is what shows the amount of anger these Copts feel--not rioting, not attacking Muslims, not burning cars--as there would likely be with a similar Muslim demonstration in the West.

And the chants? I cannot be entirely certain, but it sounds as though these were mostly calls for the state to do its job--not cries of "Death to Mubarak!" or "Death to Islam!".

That would come from Sura 8.013 in the Qur'an, "Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them."

How could this be? Might it have something to do with the fact that in the Muslim world, the worth of the life of a non-Muslim is only a fraction of that of the worth of a Muslim?

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2004/11/iran-christian-life-worth-only-a-twelfth-that-of-a-muslim.html

This may not be codified in Egypt, but it is still--clearly--the way the law is applied.

Also, if my tally is correct, there have been four victims of Osama Araban's rampage--*not* the three heretofore reported.

I think that at the very least Egypt should be removed from the UN counsul on human rights.

As a side note this seems like the same kind of cover up as the head of the IAEA being named Mohammed. Saying Iran is not making nuclear weapons. Yeah right, WTF?

carp...my bad, should have been Abdo

one thing governments hate is to be embarrassed befor the eyes of the world and this incident imo has done just that . as for egypt being on the un's human rights council what of it , its become nothing more than a non human rights council controlled by the OIC member states most having such a poor record on human rights that they have turned what was a good idia into nothing more that a group of nations covering each others poor human rights asses

Fundamentalist biker?

"...man riding a Harley-Davidson..."

We have hundreds of housands of those in the US...idiot bikers causing mayhem...

"We have hundreds of housands of those in the US...idiot bikers causing mayhem..."

Its alweas about the bike with you Mikey, isnt it?

Im starting to think that its time you either put the seat back on your bike, or just get a dildo dude.

Mikey likes it.

Mobamad.

:-D

So Abdullah,
You are in America eh?

Good,You are in a free non-Islamic nation.
That should make it easy for you to question Allah.
Why does he hate people?

Think for yourself will you.

American bikers don't ride around looking for Christians to hack their heads off.
You KNOW this.


OT- Remember Egypt's killing of pigs to prevent swine flu ?

Schadenfreude update: Belatedly, Egypt Spots Flaws in Wiping Out Pigs.

What started out as an impulsive response to the swine flu threat has turned into a social, environmental and political problem for the Arab world’s most populous nation.

When health officials worldwide said that the virus was not being passed by pigs, the Egyptian government said that the cull was no longer about the flu, but was about cleaning up the zabaleen’s crowded, filthy, neighborhood.

The pigs used to eat tons of organic waste. Now the pigs are gone and the rotting food piles up on the streets of middle-class neighborhoods like Heliopolis and in the poor streets of communities like Imbaba.

“They killed the pigs, let them clean the city,” said Moussa Rateb, a former garbage collector and pig owner who lives in the community of the zabaleen. “Everything used to go to the pigs, now there are no pigs, so it goes to the administration.”

Kind of like the Geroge W weekly spin and excuses covering the "reason" we were in Iraq?

I wonder what the piggy spin will be next week?

Just trying to get you to use you mind for other than a media refuse dumping ground.

It sounds to me like a biker. Gee, he rides a Harley, kills someone here, rides over there does some more violence...

Whose to say the "Chrisitan" who got beheaded was killed for not dealing drugs in the wrong neighborhood, or for some other biker-business-deal gone bad?

Happens here in the US all the time...there was a triple homocide in Florida...why? The three guys selling steroids ripped off the dealer...well, he killed them...if he was a white male "Christian" why didn't it get reported like that?

"Christian man slays three! Mass murdeing Christian!!!!Aaaaagghh run for the hills, another Chrisitan on the rampage!!!"

Why not? Because we want the public to focus on the drugs and the fact he was a drug dealer and his victims were as well...that's why they were killed.

AllI am trying to get you to do is turn off your bias filter and for once use your brain to think with when you process crime scene data, okay?

Peace
Abdullah

AllI am trying to get you to do is turn off your bias filter and for once use your brain to think with when you process crime scene data, okay?

Crime scene data? Seriously? This isent an episode of CSI, that Muslem dude drove around on his motercycle stabing Christian people. He had the bias. Nice try though.

P.S. Where is your bike?

Considering how Muslims are commanded to kill Christians and Jews in their own holy book, and given the constant killing of Coptic Christians by Muslims in the area, you'd have to be an idiot and/or a Muslim practicing taqiyya to think this is just regular ol' violence. Especially considering the perpetrator made it a point to behead his victim.

Keep piling on the BS Abdullah, you're not going to fool anyone on THIS site.

Abdullah! You talked to me!
How are you?

Just because a person lives in America doesn't mean he/she is a Christian. (aren't you proof of that)
As for bias filters, I can't think of a bigger bias filter than Islamic Ideology.

Honestly, I have just been trying to understand you.
Where you are coming from. You never state what your background is and why you defend Islam/Mohammed here.

You see, if Christians, Jews, Hindus or even Atheists do bad things it doesn't justify the transgressions of Muslims.
It doesn't make wickedness OK because someone else did it first or because someone else did it too.
You can't really believe that there is no price to pay for sin because one is Muslim can you?
Please explain.

I mean I'm really trying to understand.
What's the allure, the beauty you think is present in Islam?
Assuming you have chosen Islam?

'...Anti State Security chants were heard during the procession, besides calling on President Mubarak and the government to save the Copts from the hands of the fundamentalist[s] who are killing them.'


just in case the Copts have not figured it out yet, the State Security forces and President Mubarak are on the side of the rampaging Muslim on a hog....

Unveiled!

“Talked?” Well, I guess you can qualify that…stranger things have happened…and I am fine. Very fine, thanks for asking.

“Just because a person lives in America doesn't mean he/she is a Christian. (aren't you proof of that)”

The predominant ideology in the US is 77.5% Christian Catholic/Protestant…so yes, there is a chance any random biker isn’t a Christian…and surely those who murder people for whatever reasons are not following the teachings of Christ even if they claim affiliation with the “club”...by the same measure neither is the “Muslim Biker” following the teachings of Islam if he is guilty of the same, even if he claims to be in the “club”.

“Honestly, I have just been trying to understand you.
Where you are coming from. You never state what your background is and why you defend Islam/Mohammed here.”

Exquese me? Read my name again…it reads Abdullah Mikail: “Servant of God Michael” Contrary to the conspiracy theorists here at JW it is not a “Arabic and Russian” name…it is Arabic transliteration.

“You see, if Christians, Jews, Hindus or even Atheists do bad things it doesn't justify the transgressions of Muslims. It doesn't make wickedness OK because someone else did it first or because someone else did it too.”

Who in their right mind says that? Not I. I say there is more to this Egyptian biker than the spin JW puts on him…he’s a biker, think about it.

“You can't really believe that there is no price to pay for sin because one is Muslim can you? Please explain.”

I don’t need to explain…I have never held that opinion.

“I mean I'm really trying to understand.”

The history of your comments says otherwise, but I am willing to take you at face value for what you have stated…if you in fact wish to turn over a new leaf and pursue truth for the sake of truth.

“What's the allure, the beauty you think is present in Islam? Assuming you have chosen Islam?”

Correct assumption.

The allure is Truth, the Truth is the Beauty, and the reward is Heaven.

Peace
Abdullah

Ahlan we Sahlan ya AbdullahMikail, Kif halak ya Habibi?

I Knew we will meet again on this page! You are addicted to "Jihad Watch"...huh? ( Like me! ).

Shooo?? The operation was sucesfull? Allah Hu Akbar ! RIGHT?

Not only does the quran condone killing non-muslims- if you don't fight in the way of allah, have a very good excuss as to why you can't and sit inactive you are a BAD muslims!!

009.090
YUSUFALI: And there were, among the desert Arabs (also), men who made excuses and came to claim exemption; and those who were false to Allah and His Messenger (merely) sat inactive. Soon will a grievous penalty seize the Unbelievers among them.

So the peaceful muslims are BAD muslims, BAD muslim!!

Abdullah Mikail here avails himself of Tactic #378 in the Field Manual of Taqiyya Obfuscation (co-written by Western PC MC idiots who use roughly the same guidelines):

378. When a Muslim or group of Muslims commits a grotesquely ultra-violent act, point out that it has nothing to do with Islam, but rather it should be categorized as an ordinary violent crime, which is an unfortunate feature of all societies.

This tactic is one of many different tactics used by the Islam apologists. Like the other tactics, it is calculated to take the spotlight off any singularly Islamic features of the event in question, lest anyone notice that perhaps the tenets and atmospherics of Islam in fact are a significant etiology for the event, if not its main, or even sole, cause.

To highlight the irrationality of Abdullah Mikail in this regard, consider that even if we were to reduce this to CSI: Cairo (starring perhaps Kal Penn and Mila Kunis as the lead investigators, with Ben Kingsley as the CSI Head Investigator, the Cairo Muslim counterpart to the Gil Grissom character on the original CSI show, played by William Petersen, and the elder statement veteran actor Omar Sharif his own Infidel-revert-to-Islam-because-he-married-a-Muslim-woman self playing the counterpart to the head honcho of the team as counterpart to "Captain Jim Brass" played by actor Paul Guilfoyle), we would rationally treat each criminal occurrence with reference to analytical questions to determine whether it fits a profile or not. CSI-type criminal investigations do not simply lump all violent crimes into one simplistic category, as Abdullah Mikail would have us do: they try to determine whether any given crime -- particularly a strange one -- has some other motives that make it distinct from the general mush of ordinary crimes. With this particular crime, if Abdullah were part of the CSI:Cairo team, he would pipe up at the round table -- "The guy was riding a Harley, therefore this crime is exactly the same as all the other crimes of people riding Harleys in the U.S.A!" A competent CSI team would hardly settle for that. They might deign to consider Inspector Abdullah's opinion as one of many possible theories on the bottom of the slush pile, but they would nevertheless see fit continue to hypothesize and to investigate more rational hypotheses that account for the actual data at hand. And among their investigations -- if they proceed rationally and not hampered by PC MC or by Islam apologists -- they would include the motivations of Muslims who do violence for Islamic reasons not only all around the globe, but frequently in Egypt itself, for decades now (if not, indeed, for centuries, going back to the Islamic conquest of Egypt in the 7th century).

"the elder statement" -- "the elder statesman"

What is it with these people and the head chopping?

mawskrat - you might want to reread the article. The Coptic Christian victim was named 'Abdo'. Osama is the name of the Muslim murderer.

Hesperado,

Comedic, yet your bias disables you from seriously considering what occurred and who comitted the crime: a biker...who went on to another venue and committed two more voiolent crimes.

You made the assanine leap in logic, not I.

Peace
Abdullah

I think that was an Irish slip? "voiolent crimes"
