A 26-year-old Coptic Christian man and his fiancé were arrested yesterday on the accusation that they blasphemed against the prophet of Islam, Muhammad, and his child-bride, Aisha, on Facebook.
When news, or the accusation, that Michael Munir had posted something offensive concerning Muhammad, dozens of Muslims surrounded his house in the village of Dimyana in Daqhiliya governate, Egypt.
The angry Muslims were reportedly about to burn his home before security forces arrived and arrested him. The Copt is being held for four days pending investigation. It is not clear if his fiancé also remains jailed or was released (reports are conflicting).

Muslims do protest to much
Muslims shout “Allah is greatest” precisely due to the same lack of faith that it is so.
Muslims wish each other peace because that is what they all so clearly lack.
Really now! Is it even possible to insult someone as lowly as Muhammad?
St. Croix says
Possible to insult someone as low as Mohammed?
Probably not. But we can try!

Blasphemy ? Isn’t that against God only ? Do Muslims think Mo was divine then ? If they don’t , then surely worship of this man dead for centuries is idolatory.
And, so much for Sisi eh. Anyone wouldthink Morsi was still in power, with this kind of sharia stuff going on.
Still, according to certain insiders Sisi was a right hand man of Morsi. !!
Anything truly surprising or new here ?
I trust no world leader at this moment in time, whatever they say.

Blasphemy laws are at the core of most islamic apartheid persecutions.
Back in the day, I can remember big anti apartheid demonstrations against South Africa on campuses around the world. People recognized evil and spoke out against it, and yet this current evil remains invisible.

The followers of this peaceful religion Obama and the rest keep telling us about never hesitate to whip up a lynch mob at the merest suggestion of blasphemy by a non Muslim and never mind a judge and jury, just set about murdering and burning, as they know that ‘public opinion ‘ will support them, and there is little risk of them being punished.

Why don’t we hear an uproar from the Mudslimes when Jesus Christ is blasphemed? Mudslimes consider him to be a great prophet too. They however will not do this because the murder of innocent Christians will have no justification. Islam is intolerant of everyone else, not the other way around. Islam is satanic, pure and simple. Islam must be destroyed, wiped-out…..eliminated.
Islam is a __hit stain that all the toilet paper in the world is needed to wipe it out.

Want to bet they have to leave the region, if not the country, and a neighbor just happens to end up buying their home at a massive discount? And that neighbor is the one who started the rumor?
tjhawk says
I don’t like losing bets, so I will avoid betting against you on this one.

Is there any other kind?

Our resident Sissiphiles (chief among which being the Egyptian “Salah”) at Jihad Watch will wait a day or two while stories like this one (and the one above, and there have been many over the past year or so) subside into our distracted attention (distracted by the sheer number and diversity of alarming and horrible stories about Muslims and their Islam), and then they’ll log comments here and there expressing unfounded hope in the Egyptian “revolution” and in “millions of Egyptians” who offer a new reformed Islam, BBFB.

Huh? Are you saying that there’s an organization of “Sissiphiles” in JW and that Salah is their chief? Or are you hyperbolizing and deriding Salah (who, IIRC, is behind the website http://crossmuslims.blogspot.com/) because you don’t like that he, as a Christian in Egypt, appreciates Sissi and is willing to trust him?
Old foggy, I think you need to find better things to do with your time. Preferably something involving tissues and cleaning up sticky messes. Like cleaning your bathroom, or cooking a nice meal, or making healthy drinks.
Salah says
Thanks, Angemon.
Our friend voegelinian is unable or unwilling to understand that change cannot happen overnight, not after 14 centuries of brainwashing; it will take time.
Egypt is on the right path not because of al Sisi, but rather because of al Sisi being backed by 95% of the people, both Muslims and Christians.

Call it anything you want, it a “Witch Hunt”. It does not matter if people are guilty or innocent, it’s all about the hunt, the killing and the feeling of being superior over life and death, it’s playing God.
William Lucas HarveyJr. says
Yet, our Muslim, Islamist, Sympathizing, Pandering, so called “President” can “Blaspheme” Christians, at the Prayer Breakfast, with Impunity !
Joe Shmo says
I really really hope this kind of crap doesn’t come to the West, I know it’s already on its way but I hope we can turn it around.

<Muslims worldwide have caused a GREAT deal of harm. It is time they take a good look at their beliefs and determine if it is from God or Satan.
