Egypt's Salafists: No Christmas greetings to Christians

Spreading their usual warmth and good cheer ahead of the Orthodox observance of Christmas.

No word on Hanukkah, but you can probably more or less connect the dots. We also can't rule out a Festivus Fatwa somewhere down the line, while they're at it, to prohibit Muslim participation in the Airing of Grievances. And the Saudi religious police can crack down on the sale of metal poles in advance of the "holiday." "Egypt's Islamist hard-liners oppose Christmas greetings," from the Associated Press, January 1:

CAIRO — An ultraconservative Egyptian Islamist group says sending Christmas greetings to Christians is "against our beliefs," a position immediately rebuked by other Muslims.
Nadar Bakar, spokesman of the hard-line Al-Nour party, said Wednesday that Muslims should give greetings to Christians only on "personal occasions," not religious ones.
Al-Nour represents the ultraconservative Salafi movement, which wants to strictly impose Islamic law in Egypt. Al-Nour has won a surprisingly strong 20 percent of the vote so far in Egypt's staggered parliamentary elections.

The gradualist Ikhwan still sees an advantage in doing otherwise:

The remarks prompted Egypt's Al Azhar, the most eminent religious institution, to issue a religious edict approving Christmas greetings. The country's most influential Islamist group, the Muslim Brotherhood, responded by sending "its best Christmas wishes to our brotherly Christians and Muslims as well."

But they, of course, will get an "Eid mubarak" message from our dhimmi White House every year, no matter which party's lickspittle president is occupying it.

Disgusting.

I would suspect that Santorum would end those dinners...I can't quite see him celebrating Islam...I'm not sure about the rest...maybe someone should ask them...

Quite the tolerant lot aren't they? Funny how they demand supreme tolerance once firmly planted in the lands of the infidel.

OT

Who would want to be greeted, anyway, by a falsely-smiling Mohammedan with murder in their heart?

Something that recently appeared in the British press.

'Soldier's guide to surviving Afghanistan war - written 92 years ago'.

Excerpt: "One tip to young recruits was: “Avoid shaking hands with a strange Pathan [that is, a Pathan Muslim - dda]. **They will seize with their left hand and stab with their right.** {my emphasis - dda}”

'They will seize with their left hand and stab with their right'.

Which is **exactly** what a sweetly-smiling demurely be-hijabbed Muslimah, Roshana Choudary, did to UK MP Stephen Timms. She greeted him, she extended her (left, that is, dung) hand to him to shake; and as, ignorantly, he took that proffered hand, with her right hand she whipped out the butcher knife from amongst her robes and shoved it into his gut.

No, open unvarnished hostility from a Mohammedan is far more honest than the smile that conceals the dagger.

Article:

"...Nadar Bakar, spokesman of the hard-line Al-Nour party, said Wednesday that Muslims should give greetings to Christians only on 'personal occasions,' not religious ones."
____

Huh?
____

"...the Muslim Brotherhood, responded by sending 'its (sic) best Christmas wishes to our brotherly Christians and Muslims as well.'"
_____

Notice the clause, "to our brotherly Christians AND Muslims as well."

Why does that phrase sound strangely?

It is because it is a lie. How do we know?
_________________________________________

Ask a Muslim if it would be acceptable for a Christian (in a Muslim country) to wish a fellow Christian and a Muslim a Happy Ramadan, but strictly in a personal sense.

The answer would be an emphatic, "No!".

We'd never hear the end of it. Some hate crime would be manufactured regarding Ramadan, some expat would get arrested and, whoopie! Islamophobia!
__________________________________________________________

Anyway, I sort of get the creeps when an MB dude wishes me Merry Christmas and calls me "brother" in the same breath.

That would make him the uncle of my son, and that, of course, ain't the case; they can keep their greetings to themselves - I won't be offended.

Meanwhile in Canada we have an Egyptian with a islamic TV show that told Michael Coren that christians in Egypt have MORE rights than muslims. Then we have the nubar Imam claiming that muslims in canada are now oppressed just like the jews were in 1930's germany.

The taqqiyah de-jour is amazing , it is also served with CAIR's favourite WHINE , islamophobia(2001) .
A very RED( communist) whine thats subtle while in the bottle,but once uncorked it's poison for any Politician to go near and it can ruin the lives of non-muslims.

"the Muslim Brotherhood, responded by sending "its best Christmas wishes to our brotherly Christians and Muslims as well."

And the bomb is in the mail.

"Do not initiate the Salam [greeting of peace] to the Jews and Christians, and if you meet any of them in a road, force them to its narrowest alley." (Muhammad, according to the Sahih of Muslim)

Some Muslims have figured out that Sharia Law/Islam is non-tolerent and crule in a civil world society. And that submission has produced very little mercy for the submissions. Egypt has tasted a civil society. Therefor.
--

"This victory of the Egyptian Islamists, whilst seeming to be the end of the tribulations within Egypt, can actually result in another revolution. This time though, the revolution is more likely to be against the Islamists themselves. The reason for this being that, throughout the last few decades, many Islamic groups have given the people of Egypt the impression that implementing Islamic Sharia laws will solve all the problems in the country. The Muslim brotherhood has made it clear in their slogan that 'Islam is the Solution'. These promises - although helped the Islamists win these elections - are considered to be risky to them as well. If the Islamists failed to deliver prompt and fast solutions to the deeply rooted problems in Egypt, the Egyptians are likely to revolt against them."
--

The west must be very careful not to endorse a Islamist society worse than the countries ruler prior to the revolution. This would most certainly give Egypt cause for even more separation from the U.S..

So far the United States has porven they don't know squot about Islam or Sharia Law. But rather than admit that and telling the truth. They continue to act as though they not only know about Islam and Sharia but that they know it better than Islam knows it.

We all know that the U.S. hasn't got a clue when it comes to Islam and or Sharia Law, so why not admit it? Any U.S. legislator that claims Islam and Christianity are nearly the same knows very little about either one.

Until those that know can sit down together and debate their religions and differences, no peace can happen. Why not..? Because neither knows the truth about the others religion and there for both are ignorant on the issue.

The U.S. had better learn all they can about Islam from a non-bias sourse. Don't simply ask a Muslim about his own ideology because that will produce only onesided answers.

The U.S. must do something different because what they are doing isn't working at all....

Egypt's Salafists: No Christmas greetings to Christians
..............................

We all know that the proper Christmas greeting for Muslims to offer Christians are those proffered by Boko Haram in Nigeria—blowing up their churches and murdering as many of them as possible.

Merry Christmas, Kuffars!

God, I hate Islam.
