Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic State calls for jihad on Egypt, in Cairo itself, specifically targeting Christian Copts

Nov 7, 2014 7:52 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Egypt-Christians-APThe Islamic State has called on its followers to take the jihad to Egypt, to the heart of Cairo itself.

Abu Mus ‘ab al-Maqdisi, a leader in the Islamic State,said in a statement titled “Advice to Egypt’s Mujahidin [jihadis],” published on websites linked to the “caliphate,” that “It is necessary to take the battle to Cairo, until the Sinai is safeguarded from the apostates [reference to Egyptian government] and becomes a rear base [qaeda] to expand the jihad from.”

He added that “You have a good example in the Islamic State when it was bombing Baghdad on a daily or weekly basis with car bombs and other operations.”

He also called on jihadis in Egypt to “target the Copts,” the nation’s indigenous, Christian minorities: “For targeting them, following them, and killing them is one of the main ways to serve the cause of our virtuous male and female hostages of the tyrants.”

    “…targeting them, following them, and killing them is one of the main ways to serve the cause of our virtuous male and female hostages of the tyrants.”

    Mr. Obama, Mr. Cameron, please listen to these barbarians. Politicians in the 1930s failed to listen to Hitler or believe his threats.

    Do you want to be remembered as another ‘Chamberlain’?

      Instead of opening its doors to thousands or even millions of fanatic Muslims, potential terrorists, Niqab covered and/or who are simply here to proselytize and bring people to Islam, why the west doesn’t do something for the millions of Christians in Egypt (Copts), Iraq, Syria and Nigeria!

      Even some international organizations cited the above Christian minorities as in urgent need of help.

      They are another set of Chamberlains. No doubt about it.

    Prohibit killing non Muslim with peace agreement:

    8: 72. Verily, those who believed, and emigrated and strove hard and fought with their property and their lives in the Cause of Allah as well as those who gave (them) asylum and help, – these are (all) allies to one another. And as to those who believed but did not emigrate (to you O Muhammad SAW), you owe no duty of protection to them until they emigrate, but if they seek your help in religion, it is your duty to help them except against a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual alliance, and Allah is the All-Seer of what you do.
    9: 4. Except those of the Mushrikûn with whom you have a treaty, and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor have supported anyone against you. So fulfill their treaty to them to the end of their term. Surely Allah loves Al- Mattaqûn
    4: 90. Except those who join a group, between you and whom there is a treaty (of peace), or those who approach you with their breasts restraining from fighting you as well as fighting their own people. Had Allah willed, indeed He would have given them power over you, and they would have fought you. So if they withdraw from you, and fight not against you, and offer you peace, then Allah has opened no way for you against them.
    91. You will find others that wish to have security from you and security from their people. Every time they are sent back to temptation, they yield thereto. If they withdraw not from you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, take (hold) of them and kill them wherever you find them. In their case, We have provided you with a clear warrant against them.
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 49
    Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr:
    The Prophet said, “Whoever killed a Mu’ahid (a person who is granted the pledge of protection by the Muslims) shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise though its fragrance can be smelt at a distance of forty years (of traveling).”
    Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 53 :: Hadith 391
    Ignorance act prohibited:
    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 21
    Cheating /deceit people with agreement prohibited:
    16: 94. And make not your oaths, a means of deception among yourselves, lest a foot may slip after being firmly planted, and you may have to taste the evil (punishment in this world) of having hindered (men) from the Path of Allah (i.e. Belief in the Oneness of Allah and His Messenger, Muhammad SAW), and yours will be a great torment (i.e. the Fire of Hell in the Hereafter).
    95. And purchase not a small gain at the cost of Allah’s Covenant. Verily! What is with Allah is better for you if you did but know.
    8:27. O you who believe! Betray not Allâh and His Messenger, nor betray knowingly your Amânât (things entrusted to you, and all the duties which Allâh has ordained for you).
    Muslim :: Book 19 : Hadith 4310
    It is narrated on the authority of Abu Sa’id that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: On the Day of Judgment there will be a flag for every person guilty of the breach of faith. It will be raised in proportion to the extent of his guilt; and there is no guilt of treachery more serious than the one committed by the ruler of men.

      Shabeer Hassan,

      Go and tell that to ISIS, Boko Haram, Al Shabab, …………………etc.

      I thought you were intelligent and sincere; now I am starting to think you are coward, hypocrite and more dangerous than all those Islamic groups, some of which mentioned in the paragraph above, and all other similar groups, mentioned in all my previous responses to you.

      If you don’t do what you really should be doing, as I explained to you in my several previous responses to your comments, that means your’re still a little child, no matter your actual age is, and you’re a prisoner of the fear and conditioning done to over a billion people by that cult religion, Islam!

      Here is again my comment response to you, in case you missed it:

        Shabeer Hassan,

        “Prohibit killing non Muslim with peace agreement:”

        You say that’s your religion:

        “Prohibit killing Muslims with no peace agreement”

        I say that’s the religion of billions in the world, non Muslims, whether they are Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Atheists……etc.

        I say that’s the legal system in all western countries, which even, sometimes, unfortunately so, was extended to devout Muslims who committed violent terrorist acts, like beheading, against innocent people on western soil!

        “Your fight is not against humans in flesh and blood but against evil spirits, soldiers of darkness living in a heavenly realm”

        The above is a quotation of the meaning, of one of the many verses in the new testament, bible, exhorting and reminding Christians what their Jihad is about!

        Why Christianity, western laws and legal systems, and many other non Muslim societies respect the sanctity of a Muslim life? Because for all of them they are humans, first, then Muslims, after, if at all considered!

        Why we find, consistently and without fail, in all Muslim countries, regions and jurisdictions all types of injustices, ranging from use of variety of methods of persecution and harassment to outright physical harm and slaughtering, against all non Muslim faith minorities? Because Islam teaches, that all of you, Muslims, you Shabeer included, are Muslims, first, and then humans, after, if this later possibility is at all considered!!!

      “Prohibit killing non Muslim with peace agreement:”

      Thanks, but no. There is no peace agreement with Islam.
      Islam must and will be completely defeated. All we need to do is read your books and unveil the filth of Muhammad’s life…like this:

      Shabeer this is what our lord says to EGYPT
      Ezekiel 29:8 9 10
      Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will bring a sword against you and kill your men and their animals. EGYPT will become a desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am The Lord.

      Ezekiel 29:4 5
      I will put you out from among your streams, with all the fish sticking to your scales, I will leave you in the desert, you and all the fish of your streams, you will Fallon the open field and not be gathered or picked up, I will give you as food to the beast of the earth and the birds of the air.

      Ezekiel 30: 2 3 4
      Wail and say alas for that day, for the day is near. The day of The Lord is near-a day of clouds a time of doom for the nations, a sword will come against EGYPT and anguish will come upon Cush, when the slain fall in EGYPT , her wealth will be carried away and her foundations torn down.

      Ezekiel 30: 6 7 8 9
      This is what The Lord says : the allies of EGYPT will fall and her proud strength will fall. From migdol to Aswan they will fall by the sword within her declares the Sovereign, they will be desolate among desolate lands and their cries will lie among ruined cities. Then they will know that I am The Lord, when I set fire to EGYPT and all her helpers are crushed.
      Isaiah 19 : 1 2
      See The Lord rides on a swift cloud and is coming to EGYPT . The idols of EGYPT tremble before and the hearts of Egyptians melt within them. I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian brother will fight against brother, neighbour against neighbour , city against city , kingdom against kingdom, the Egyptians will loose heart and I will bring their plans to nothing .

      Isaiah: 19: 16 17
      In that day the Egyptians will be like the women. They will shudder with fear at the uplifted hand that The Lord Almighty raises against them and the land of Judah will bring terror to the Egyptians, everyone to whom Judah is mentioned will be terrified, because of what The Lord Almighty is planning against them.

      WOE WOE unto thee who slaughter the Coptic Christians, the children of the Almighty Lord. Whom you view as the Kafirs in your Quran. I would not want to be a muslim in EGYPT. For Almighty God will destroy them if they do not repent and turn from their evil ways. Watch how he is stirring up Muslim against Muslim, watch how he brings in other armies to crush those that harm the Coptic Christians. And lays EGYPT to waste. Then You will know that Almighty God is Supreme above your allah. The Coptic Christians are crying out to Yeshua to help them, and he will help them as it is promised because Our Mighty God never lies like you Spirited angel does . He does not ask his people to kill for himself, but he does ask to kill to save the lives of others who are being murdered In cold blood for the sake of a entity who wishes to kill them by commanding his followers to do so by their creed. You want destruction ! Then the Almighty will give you destruction upon yourselves.
