Muslim ‘Gang’ Torments Christian Copts for Jizya-Money

After the recent events of Dahshur, Egypt, when thousands of Muslims rampaged and plundered Christian homes—in a conflict that began when a Christian laundry worker accidentally burned the shirt of a Muslim—news now comes from Asyut, Egypt, of a Muslim “gang” attacking Christian homes, abducting children, and demanding money—ransoms and extortions as a form of tribute, or jizya (see here).

According to Al Akhbar News, last Tuesday, “hundreds of Christians gathered before the Asyut Security Directorate in Manfalut Municipality, demanding that police protect them, their children, and houses from a gang attacking their homes and imposing tributes on them.” Led by two men Mustafa al-Sissi and Mustafa al-Asmar, “the gang kidnapped the son of a Coptic Christian last week and did not release him until his family paid a ransom of 3,000 EGP."

Most recently, the Muslim gang “attacked the house of Romani Murad al-Gawli [another Copt], releasing several gunshots in the air, and threatening him either to pay or die.”

The gang, which comes from a town called Abdul-Rasul, “picked this specific village because Copts form 80% of its inhabitants.”

The report concludes with an all too familiar note: “After numerous calls for help” and after “filing several reports in vain,” the Christian villagers decided to demonstrate.

Remember that Copts are the original inhabitants of Egypt - Muslims are invaders.

It's actions like that reported above...as well as episodic pogroms, church burnings, and other depredations suffered by Christians in the Islamic world that build a more profoundly disturbing narrative than even the issue of terrorism. Muslims have become adroit at disassociating Islam from terrorism, but these acts are not perpetrated by terrorists, they are more often than not perpetrated by the local Muslim community, often after incendiary sermons during Friday prayers.

CAIR, the MSA, ISNA, and other Muslim-advocacy groups in the West must be compelled to answer for the treatment of non-Muslim minorities in the Islamic world. If Islam is no threat to infidel society as they insist, why are churches being burned in Egypt, Pakistan and Indonesia, why are infidel women being kidnapped, "converted" and then married against their will in Egypt, Pakistan and elsewhere, why are riots, vandalism, and other acts of violence episodically directed at non-Muslims in Darul Islam...and even in Europe and Dearborn, Michigan?

It must be repeated over and over: This is not a problem of terrorism...it is a problem of the behavioral ethics of the Muslim community at large. The Muslim mob is a tinder box that can be set on fire over any issue....and the victims are always non-Muslims. As Islam gains cultural space in the West and becomes ever-more prominent over the coming years, how long before Western Muslims start imitating their brethren in the Islamic world and begin persecuting non-Muslims?

ahhhhh, these muslim thugs ...

muhammad, ever since he was discovered growing under a rock, with some snails, circa 1450 A.D., was into thuggery. Boy, think about it ... muslims go in for that intimidation stuff, 72 virgins, conversion by the sword, ... lets face it, islam is one of the stupidest belief systems ever hatched out of a man's mind.

Now, I got into more than my share of schoolboy fights. I didn't win them all, but I did know the Golden Rule. If you know you are right, and you fight to protect your rights, that's all you can do. Back down, and the same asshole is going to intimidate you tomorrow.

That is what islam is like, an asshole that is trying to steal your lunch money.

Don't let islam steal your lunch money. Be more like Charles Bronson:

“hundreds of Christians gathered before the Asyut Security Directorate in Manfalut Municipality, demanding that police protect them, their children, and houses from a gang attacking their homes and imposing tributes on them.”

They may have noticed that when Muslim gangs go on a rampage the Egyptian police are never in the neighborhood and when things are quiet the Egyptian police are everywhere watching them....Maybe the Christians can start connecting the dots....

Muslim ‘Gang’ Torment Christian Copts for Jizya-Money

The name of that "gang" would be the Ummah"...

See? The Christians started that one...sarc/off

Really, anywhere in the civilized world, that would lead to a request that the laundry pay for the shirt—if they balked, the customer might decide to take his business elsewhere, and at most perhaps fire off an irate letter to the neighborhood business association. *Rampage and plundering?* Not so much...

Also very, very common in the Muslim world. This has happened before in Egypt—even under Mubarak—where the police either ignored Christian calls for help, or else pretended that there was some reason they cannot file a report, etc.

In the worse stretches of Dar-al-Islam such as Pakistan, police often *join in* with the savagery.

With the Muslim Brotherhood in charge and the whole of society fast Islamizing, things like this are only going to get worse for the poor Copts.

"The report concludes with an all too familiar note: “After numerous calls for help” and after “filing several reports in vain,” the Christian villagers decided to demonstrate."

Sometimes it takes a while to connect the dots...

These Muslim rampages are Kristalnachts against non-Muslims.

Funny, I thought all that education in school about the Holocaust was meant to help us recognize evil. I guess it was limited to just keeping us on guard for little German dudes with funny mustaches.

Let's remember that Muhammed was one of the most notorious gang-bangers in history. From raiding caravans, enslaving and raping, he morphed into extortion. What else do we call extortion but "jizya".
And, what has Islmaic spirituality yielded? A cult mentality predicated upon crime.

Muslims continue to persecute the dhimmi, while I am accused of rascism by 'well-intentioned' locals. I have spent the morning explaining to my local police that I abhor racism, but have a strong avesion to Islam. Nevertheless they are considering whether to prosecute me.

Many years ago when I was in school, we were not taught about Islam....sadly in todays schools it remains the same...it's time for some serious curriculum rethought...

I take your point, Pulsar.

But be careful what you wish for—when Islam *is* taught these days, it is almost always some bowdlerized bs about how peaceful Islam is, or how Muslim scientists invented everything of any consequence.

I just spoke with one such well-meaning idiot today after a lecture on Baroque art, where she claimed that Gothic architecture was inspired by Islamic Spanish influence on the Netherlands. This was just completely ahistoric, but that didn't slow her down for a moment.

As bad as completely ignoring Islam is, steeping students in a whitewashed fantasy "Religion of Peace" is *much* worse.

re. Islamic architecture, *the* authority on that seems to be Oleg Grabar, whom Hugh Fitzgerald sometimes mentioned.

Grabar wrote a book called "The Formation of Islamic Art" (1973). Might be worth looking up, for the benefit of people like this lady you encountered.

According to Hugh, Grabar notes that 'Islamic' architecture is *mostly* borrowed/ copied from others; but he *also* points out that such distinctive features as it does have, can be accounted for by a/ military necessity (influencing even 'nonmilitary' buildings) and/ or b/ vulgar ostentation, the projection of raw power (sort of like Soviet or Nazi styles).

Here

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2005/05/irshad-manji-and-islamic-history.html

Hugh's essay includes some quotes from Grabar.

"...it is undeniable that there was a great cultural and scientific flowering in the Islamic world in the Middle Ages, but there is no indication that any of this flowering actually came as a result of Islam itself.

"In fact, there is considerable evidence that it did not in fact come from Islam, but from the non-Muslims who served their Muslim masters in various capacities.

"The architectural design of mosques, for example, long a source of pride among Muslims, **was copied from the shape and structure of Byzantine churches.** [my emphasis - dda]

"(And of course, the principles that keep domes and arches up in the air were discovered over a thousand years before the advent of Islam.)

"The seventh-century Dome of the Rock, considered today to have been first great mosque, was not only copied from Byzantine models, but was built by Byzantine craftsmen.

"**Islamic architectural innovations, interestingly enough, arose from military necessity** [my emphasis - dda]:

"the historian of Islamic art and architecture Oleg Grabar explains that

"'Whatever its social or personal function, there hardly exists a major monument of Islamic architecture that does not reflect power in some fashion....

'Ostentation is rarely absent from architecture and ostentation is almost always an expression of power....

'For instance, in 11th- century Cairo or 14th-century Granada the gates were built with an unusual number of different techniques of vaulting.

'Squinches coexist with pendentives, barrel vaults with cross vaults, simple semicircular arches with pointed or horseshoe arches....

'It is possible that certain innovations in Islamic vaulting techniques, especially the elaboration of squinches and cross vaults, were the direct result of the importance of military architecture, for which strength and the prevention of fires, so common in wooden roofs and ceilings, were major objectives."'
