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

Egypt: Salafi plan to expel Christian Copts

Dec 3, 2014 7:07 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

Egypt-Christians-APThe Islamic State’s expansion has stepped up Salafi aspirations for an Islamic Caliphate in the Middle East—including in Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya—and the expulsion of the Christian populations from their countries of origin.

According to the Justice Organization for Development and Human Rights, a Salafi plan exists in Egypt—allegedly backed by the U.S. and certain Gulf monarchies—to expel the Christian Copts from the Upper Egypt governorates of Minya, Asyut and Beni Suef.

The Salafi groups are said to own special brigades, secretly armed and trained by former Saudi intelligence chief Bandar bin Sultan for the purpose of carrying out this plan and facilitating a Salafi takeover.

A Justice Organization media spokesman suggests collusion between the Egyptian government and the Salafis, meant to preserve good relations with the Saudis. This potentially threatens thousands of Copts with forced exile, especially in the Delta and Upper Egypt regions, in a replication of the Iraqi scenario with the Islamic State.

    Salafis plan to expel Copts. Of course they do. But they will never succeed.
    We must not forget that the Muslim Brotherhood planned to rule Egypt. How long did their rule last? one year!!!
    The Egyptian people has rejected ALL forms of political Islam. They have already crushed the Muslim Brotherhood thugs. Most of the MB leaders are now in jail facing justice and possibly death sentences.
    The same for the Salafis, if they don’t behave they’ll meet the same fate.
    Of course we must not rule out any individual act of terrorism. But the group as a whole is completely ineffective…even with a US backing.

      “Most of the MB leaders are now in jail facing justice and possibly death sentences.”

      As they should be in America too, including those in our government who are comitting treason by aiding and abetting their “Grand Jihad”.

      I do believe the death penalty still applies in regards to treason if convicted here in the States.

      And yet, the news report said there was cooperation between the Egyptian government and the salafis.

      It’s hard to tell what’s going on. The Egyptian government has outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood, as have the Saudis, but it’s difficult to tell what initiative is actually supported by the government. It seems unlikely on the face of it that the Egyptian government would actually support a salafi ethnic cleansing, as it would totally alienate any Coptic support, and also any secular support. So, unless the Egyptian government is throwing in its lot with the Islamists, rather than the secularists, the report seems unlikely.

      It’s also unlikely that the US government would give overt support to such a plan. If evidence actually leaked out, the political consequences in the US might be enough to finally blow the Obama democrats, including Hillary, out of the water.

        Then again I would never underestimate just how low that Obama and Hillary and other democrats are willing to crawl in collaborating with Islam’s thugs.

        Political consequences? In this country? LOL
        The majority of the populace can’t even identify Egypt on the map. As long as the populace has texting and circuses they don’t care about much else. If Obama hasn’t been impeached by now for making Nixon look like a quire boy at church then he won’t be now. If he was there would be race riots all across the country.

      The Caliphate was drawn already in 1974 by Club of Rome.
      Drawn in the map from Pakistan to Morocco.

      Look at region 7 in the map.

    Islam is mass insanity. There is no benefit from Islam. It is all detrimental.

    The Egyptian people may get rid of the MB and salafist, but will they ever get rid of Allah and his terror laws called sharia?

    It seems like the Christians of the world, no matter what sect or denomination should take an active part in this situation. Being the largest religion, they should stop appeasing the Muslims and start taking action. ,maybe Christians hate other Christian denominations and churches in the same way the Shias hate Sunnis.

    It worked in Mosul, previously Christian majority…now under IS control.

    As they have done to the Jews in the 40-50’s, cleansed them all from the Arab world, they do it now to the Christians.
    I think it is the way G-d punish the Christians for what they have done to the Jews for over 2000 years

      Yes, “God” is punishing the Copts for actions of long-dead Christians in other places. You are an absolute disgrace, but not as much as that ‘god’ of yours.

        I think we warship the same G-D, unless I am mistaken !, it is not MY G-D, it is everyone’s G-d!
