Islamic jihadis never fail to find an excuse to slaughter innocent Christians. For example, as discussed here, secular Western actions that have nothing to do with Christianity are often enough to provoke Muslims to blame, locate, and attack Christian minorities in their midst as way of “retribution.”
Now, as shown in a new video, the Islamic State branch in Libya has slaughtered 21 innocent Coptic Christians who were originally kidnapped in early January.
An article in Dabiq, the Islamic State’s online magazine in English (pdf accessible on Coptic Solidarity) titled “Revenge for the Muslimat [Muslim women] Persecuted by the Coptic Crusaders of Egypt” claims that 21 Christians were slaughtered in “revenge” for two Coptic women who, back in 2010 and according to Islamic propaganda, were compelled by Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Church to recant their conversion to Islam and return to Christianity.
Indeed, back then, the late Coptic Pope Shenouda III was portrayed as “a U.S. agent, an abductor and torturer of female Muslim converts from Christianity, who was stockpiling weapons in monasteries and churches with a view to waging war against the Muslims and dividing Egypt to create a Coptic State.”
Such is Islamic propaganda and projection—always accusing others of what Islamists habitually do.
The Islamic State magazine further cites the 2010 Islamic jihad on the Our Lady of Salvation Church in Iraq as a product of “revenge” for those same supposedly forced-to-reconvert-back-to-Christianity women in Egypt.
Then, armed jihadis stormed the Iraqi church during worship service, opened fire indiscriminately at Christian worshipers, before detonating their suicide vests, which were “filled with ball bearings to kill as many people as possible.” Nearly 60 Christian worshippers — including women, children, and even babies (graphic pictures here) — were slaughtered.
Now, after calling that attack on the Iraqi church a “blessed operation,” the Islamic State claims the same hackneyed accusation against the Coptic Church in order to slaughter more Coptic Christians.The al-Qaeda/Islamic State jihadis who carried out the 2010 raid on Iraq’s Our Lady of Salvation Church gave the same “revenge” excuse to justify killing nearly 60 Christians — Christians who were not even Coptic, nor in Egypt, but in Iraq peacefully worshipping.
Once again, then, ludicrous Muslim “grievances” — in this case, that the Coptic Church forced two Muslim converts to return to Christianity in a Muslim-majority nation that habitually kidnaps and forces Coptic girls to convert to Islam — are cited to justify the random killings of Christians around the world in general, Coptic Christians in particular.

**WARNING** VERY GRAPHIC VIDEO:
“A MESSAGE SIGNED WITH BLOOD TO THE NATION OF THE CROSS”
http://sendvid.com/17rm25rj
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the video showing the 21 brave Christian men being beheaded by the cowards with knives and their faces covered …
And I must warn you, this video is extremely graphic beginning @3:26. I had to look away while they were being beheaded.
R.I.P Dear, Brave, Brother’s in Christ.

1) “Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2) Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit….” (Psalm 32: 1,2/ESV)
truly good news to those despairing
so much does the mosque miss the point. truly the Allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) conveys no good news
and, Muhammad (lately contrived; full of lusts) heard and recited no good news … and could not save even his soul

ISIS create atrocities videos to I instill fear and shock in the heart of those who are watching them, by doing so you are making them victorious. We know what they are capable of, we don’t need to watch those videos anymore, the median should also take their responsibilities. Those scums keep producing them because they have a large audience, take the audience away and you give them a blow. Think twice before watching any of those videos.
Julio says
Totally agree.

The Japanese should send several thousand elite soldiers to the Middle East, and hack ISIS terrorists to pieces with samurai swords, in retribution for the innocent Japanese hostages who were murdered. Then, flush the cremated bits of the ISIS members down the toilet, or feed them to swine.
Baucent says
I agree also. There is a certain voyeurism in viewing these horror scenes that appeals to some.

Again, Muslims ALWAYS cry victim, even when they rape, kill and enslave.
The reason this is because Muslims feel they are superior to everyone else.
Does anyone for a second think that Muslims regard Christians, Jews, Hindus, Siehks , atheists or followers of any other religion as being equal to Muslims?
Everyone Else says
… and they blame the Hindus, and the Chinese, and the Russians, and the Buddhists, and every other group they want to conquer …

Some of us have had doubts about al Sisi’s sincerity. Some of us went as far as to accuse him of being an islamist himself. Others knew better…

obama won’t even call these 21 men **Christians** …he’s calling them “Egypitian citizens” instead; when, in fact, ISIS stated in the video that they killed them BECAUSE they are Christians.

News by AP is saying in Iraq evidence is emerging of ISIS “harvesting organs” from prisoners to finance themselves. Bodies found with signs of surgical removal of kidneys.

It wouldn’t surprise me if muslims blamed Jews – it’s an accusation that surfaces every so often.
Craig Murray says
‘secular Western actions that have nothing to do with Christianity are often enough to provoke Muslims to blame, locate, and attack Christian minorities’
Thee acts of ISIS also seem to be enough to make people blame it on Muslims when this has nothing to do with billions of Muslims.

Robert stated of the ” Islamic propaganda and projection—always accusing others of what Islamists habitually do.”
Indeed, indeed. It is their noted trademark.
