In the featured article at FrontPage this morning, I discuss the general refusal to face up to what really happened in Alexandria, Egypt on New Year's Eve:
An Islamic jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber murdered twenty-two people and wounded eighty more at the Coptic Christian Church of the Saints in Alexandria, Egypt on New Year's Eve. Predictably enough, this mass murder has not resulted in any worldwide revulsion against Islamic jihadists, or general recognition of how Islamic supremacists and jihadists are persecuting Christians not only in Egypt, but in Iraq, Pakistan, Indonesia, Nigeria, and elsewhere also. Instead, it has brought only new and imaginative twists on the usual evasion, obfuscation, denial and finger-pointing that generally follow jihad attacks.Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was one of the first to muddy the waters, claiming that "foreign hands... a terrorist operation that is alien to us," rather than homegrown jihadists, carried out the attack. "All of Egypt is targeted," Mubarak went on, digging deeper. "This blind terrorism does not differentiate between Copts and Muslims."
Yet no mosque was targeted, and no Muslim was killed. It was a remarkable coincidence that this "blind terrorism" that did not "differentiate between Copts and Muslims" struck at a Coptic church, killing only Christians and no Muslims at all.
But the facts didn't stop Barack Obama, either. Obama's statement was better than Mubarak's in that he acknowledged that "the perpetrators of this attack were clearly targeting Christian worshipers." However, he also claimed that the attack killed and injured people "from both the Christian and Muslim communities." No Muslims were actually killed or injured in the attack. And if the perpetrators (unnamed by Obama) were indeed "clearly targeting Christian worshipers," what was Obama's point in going out of his way to say that Muslims were hurt also? Did that claim make the crime more heinous in his eyes? Or did he think that it would mitigate the harsh reality of the fact that believing Muslims, acting in the name of Islam, were the anonymous perpetrators that he dared not name?
Others found more imaginative ways to try to mitigate that harsh reality. Lebanese Shi'ite leader Sheikh Abdel Amir Kabalan said "This terrorist act bears the fingerprints of Zionists who keep on targeting religious sights [sic] and are working to … sow discord between Muslims and Christians." Iran's PressTV, in an unsigned editorial, struck a tone so similar as to give the impression that a set of talking points were being circulated: "The fresh plot by terrorists to target churches is an organized Zionist scenario aimed at creating a rift between Muslims and Christians."...
And if the perpetrators (unnamed by Obama) were indeed "clearly targeting Christian worshipers," what was Obama's point in going out of his way to say that Muslims were hurt also? (Robert Spencer)
Obama's excuse would probably be to say that Islam has had its reputation hurt by this incident perpetrated by extremists. The damage to Muslims is metaphorical. At least, that's what I assume he might mean.
However, IF that is what he meant, he's still paying no attention to the fact that Al Qur'an instructs Muslims to carry out jihad 'until all religion is for Allah.'
He's a clown!
This morning Ann Curry on the Today Show reported about the Christians being killed in "attacks," but of course failed to mention who killed them.
You know she went out-of-her-way to not say "Muslims."

(Video) 00:30 What part of the sentence is it
… the Egyptian President & sneaky taqiyyah(3:28, 16:106, 5:51)-visage Mubarak does not understand?
9:5 “Kill the unbelievers wherever ye find them” (sacred months was a pagan tradition) No. 9 is the last dictated chapter
of the illiterate Muhammad
Mr. Mubarak to the word of Allah, true Muslims
(not peacful wishy-washy Muslims PDF 20 KB)
cannot live peacfully with Christians
5:51 “O ye who believe!
take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends….”
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/018-suicide-bombing.htm
Suicide Bombing (martyrdoom) is essential in Islam
Sahih (i.e. “sound”, “reliable”) Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 72
…”Whoever amongst us is killed (as a martyr)
will go to Paradise.”….
They murdered most of the Jews and expelled the rest, then seized their property. Now there aren't any to be in solidarity with Christians when the latter are under attack. Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it...
Calling the murderers who commit these crimes "suicide-bombers" places the attention on the terrorist who murders. The correct name for the killer is "murder-bombers", because the people that they killed were not suicides. The victims were exactly where they were supposed to be at that moment: attending church, going to market, eating ice cream, drinking coffee. Calling the murderer a "suicide-bomber" gives them some mien of respectability; they did their murderous deed for a cause. Instead, let's put accountability and responsibility on them and call them what they are: cold blooded murderers.
Those " Zionists " are truly nefarious..
When they're not too busy sending sharks to attack Egyptians, they blow up Christians, all to put Muslims in a bad light, and to stir up trouble in general.
This is what I label 'the new isolationism'. It is a willful and deliberate attempt to MENTALLY disengage with the world as it is. This despite no lack of information in written, visual and oral form.
Why is President Obama not speaking out against the jihad against Christians?
Whenever large numbers of Christians gather at their chief holidays, the jihadists attack. Nigeria was one of the worst cases...almost 2000 Christians killed in 2010 by jihadists...dozens of churches and parsonages torched. Obama said nothing.
This is Islamic warfare against one religion.
Obama is failing. He is a Chamberlain.
