Egypt demonstrators: "Bread, Freedom, Islamic Sharia"

"Our Prophet [Mohamed] fought the infidels of Mecca, who are now represented by the Liberals" -- this kind of appeal is designed to guilt-trip Muslims in Egypt away from supporting anything but Sharia rule.

"'Secularists' carry a foreign agenda: Salafist Imam tells pro-Sharia protesters," by Randa Ali for Ahram Online, November 9 (thanks to 538):

Sheikh Mohamed El-Soghyr, member of Al-Gamaa Islamyia, opens fire at "seculars" and liberals at Friday prayer ceremony in Tahrir Square, accusing them of being agents to the West.

"Our Prophet [Mohamed] fought the infidels of Mecca, who are now represented by the Liberals," said El-Soghyr.

The former member of now-disbanded People's Assembly from the Salafist Building and Development Party spoke before several thousands who gathered in the square to demand Egypt's new constitution to be based on the Islamic Sharia law.

El-Soghyr added that it was unacceptable for Egypt, "the beating heart of Islam", to be a place for those who are only concerned with their own interest and agendas.

These "seculars" and liberals do not believe in the things they call for – like democracy, they only believe in orders that are sent to them through mediators for the West, claimed El-Soghyr.

El-Soghyr claimed that it was "God's will" of granting Muslims' wish for a president who is representative of Egyptians and one that will rule by Islamic Sharia law, referring to the Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi.

"We are still waiting for more, and will not blink until the law of God is applied. This is a wish we have for so long pursued," the Salafist Imam said.

He further stated that their protest is a "duty towards the book of God [Quran]."

El-Soghyr continued his speech by urging Muslims who claim their belief In "Allah and his prophet" to give into his laws, questioning if "there is a better law-maker than God?"

"If I am questioning the laws and revelations of the God I am worshipping, then I better find myself another god," he added.

The Imam called for the dismissal of the Prosecutor General, criticised the High Constitutional Court and accused some judges of accepting bribes.

El-Soghyr further called for the release of the blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel Rahman, who is serving a life sentence in the US for his alleged part in terrorist attacks in 1993.

Prayers ended with protesters playing on the main chant of the 25 January revolution, crying out "Bread, Freedom, Islamic Sharia," substituting the "Islamic doctrine" for "social justice," in the original chant....

"If I am questioning the laws and revelations of the God I am worshipping, then I better find myself another god,"

Only intelligent human beings have the capability of thinking and questioning; Animals don't. And yes, they end up finding another god, the True God. Not the one created by a filthy pedophile, tongue sucker, necrophilic, sadistic, adulterer, 7th century bedouin.

"'Secularists' carry a foreign agenda: Salafist Imam tells pro-Sharia protesters..."

I'll bet anyone $500 that this Imam doesn't call himself "Salafist". So why is the reporter designating him that way?

Is there a better law-maker than God? No. But Islam is not from God. Neither is the Koran. Neither is Shariah. And Moh was not a prophet of the true God.
I think we just have to keep reminding these people of this. Just keep chipping away. That's what Wafa Sultan says.

"Bread, Freedom, Islamic Sharia".

The nothingness that is Sharia does not produce either bread or freedom.

Starvation and slavery is more like it.

I can't tell you who said it, but I remember reading somewhere that Islam produces slums surrounded by deserts. (To get an idea of the slums, read John Roy Carlson's 'Cairo to Damascus', chapter 5, 'Behind the Correspondent's Curtain', subsection entitled 'The Slums of Cairo').

Everything that Islam, the Ummah, touches turns, eventually, to sh*t. Or, more precisely, to barren dust. I used to think Tolkien's desolate Mordor was a poet's bleak imagining. Now I know that something closely approximating Mordor exists *in reality*.

North Africa used to be the breadbasket of Rome. Once the Muslims took over, ecological and economic collapse followed in short order. All around the Mediterranean, the date of the Muslim conquests can be detected *archaeologically*, *geologically*, by what is sometimes called 'The New Fill', a deep layer of silt formed by the bleeding away of the soil from farmlands depopulated (i.e. deprived of the careful, intelligent tending of their previous owners, because said owners were either killed or had fled or had become Muslims and lost their will to work), deforested, and heavily overgrazed by bedouin goats, camels and sheep. Previously fertile hillsides collapsed into the valleys and then washed out to sea. Gardens turned to desert.

There are books that discuss this, as also there are books that describe a similar process of ruination that can be seen in the Balkans, Hungary and Bulgaria in the regions invaded and ruled by Muslims; Turkey has undergone similar processes of degradation. Afghanistan is a wasteland; Pakistan and Bangladesh, though each located along rampantly fertile river valleys, are wretched poverty-stricken hell-holes.

Agronomist Walter Clay Lowdermilk's 'Palestine: Land of Promise' has a very detailed description of the absolute ruin wrought upon the land of Israel by 1400 years of Muslim occupation...and the near-miraculous restoration that was beginning to happen as a result of the reinhabiting of the land by patient, hard-working, tree-planting Jews.

Correction:

the layer of silt from collapsed agricultural systems is called "the Younger Fill".

From a review of Emmet Scott's 'Mohammed and Charlemagne Revisited', which may be read here:

http://www.newenglishreview.org/blog_direct_link.cfm/blog_id/43460

"Throughout the coastal areas surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, archaeologists have uncovered a layer of subsoil that was deposited over a period of three hundred years beginning in the middle of the seventh century AD.



"This stratum, named the “Younger Fill” by the geologist Claudio Vita-Finzi, covers the ruins of all the major cities and settlements that were established along the Mediterranean littoral during classical antiquity.

"the same phenomenon has been observed in an entirely different watershed: Mesopotamia, the land drained by the Tigris and Euphrates in what is now Iraq, and also including the coastal regions adjoining the Persian Gulf...".

Massive - disastrous - soil erosion seems therefore to be the 'footprint' of the first expansion of Islam.

The important part of the protest: "Bread."
Egypt, and much of the Moslem world, is suffering severe food shortages. In the short term this will produce more violence. But the Muslim Brotherhood will not long hold power if they cannot feed the populace. They are trying to hide the food crisis by whipping people into a jihadist frenzy.
But empty stomachs will only buy that for so long ...
