The following excerpt from the Islamic State captures well the perverse logic that its many members and even more sympathizers operate under. It recently appeared in an Islamic State report explaining why the jihadis executed 21 Coptic Christian workers abducted in (post- “Arab Spring”) Libya. The justification begins by positioning the 2010 Islamic raid on the Our Lady of Salvation Church in Iraq — where nearly 60 Christian worshippers were slaughtered (graphic pictures here) — as a response to the absurd allegations (based on Muslim projection) that the Coptic Church of Egypt was forcing — and killing — Muslim women to convert to Christianity. In short, the Islamic State justifies the killing, not only of Coptic Christians, but all Christians anywhere, in the context of, yet again, “collective punishment.” The excerpt follows, interspersed with my observations (emphases mine):
[T]he Islamic State leadership decided to target the Catholic Christians of Baghdad so as to teach the taghut [tyrant] of the Copts — [late Pope] Shenouda — that the price of Muslim blood is costly, and so accordingly, if his church persecuted any Muslimah [female Muslim] in Egypt, he would directly be responsible for every single Christian killed anywhere in the world when the Islamic State sought its just revenge… And the deaths did not begin until after the crusaders had expressed their arrogance and refusal to execute the righteous demands of the mujahidin [jihadis].
So more than 100 crusaders were killed and injured by just five brave istishhadiyyin [“martyrs”] from the Islamic State.
Click here for the graphic aftermath of this “brave” venture.
And the different Christian churches had no one to truly blame but Shenouda for the deaths of their brethren on kufr [disbelief].
[…]
And so, five years after the blessed operation in Iraq, Allah granted the Islamic State expansion to Libya, Sinai, and elsewhere, allowing it easily to capture the Coptic crusaders — the followers of the dead Shenouda and the supporters of the taghut Sisi — as the Salaf [early pious Muslims] said, “The reward for a good deed is another good deed.”
In other words, due to the 2010 “good deed” of killing nearly 60 Christians during church service in Iraq, Allah has allowed the Islamic State to grow and kill more Christians in Libya and elsewhere.
And thus, the Islamic State strikes terror directly in the hearts of the Copts after striking terror in the hearts of their Catholic allies before…
Finally, it is important for Muslims everywhere to know that there is no doubt in the great reward to be found on Judgment Day for those who spill the blood of these Coptic crusaders wherever they may be found…
This final bit is reminiscent of what the Islamic State/Al-Qaeda said back in 2010 after the Iraq church attack:
All Christian centres, organisations and institutions, leaders and followers, are legitimate targets for the mujahedeen (holy warriors) wherever they can reach them… Let these idolaters [Christians of the world], and at their forefront, the hallucinating tyrant of the Vatican [Pope Benedict], know that the killing sword will not be lifted from the necks of their followers until they declare their innocence from what the dog of the Egyptian Church [Pope Shenouda] is doing.
And yet, back in the real world, the well documented reality in Egypt is that Coptic Christian women are regularly abducted and forced to convert to Islam. Thus the Islamists project their own vile practices onto Coptic Christians in order to justify killing Coptic Christians.

“Slaughter on the shores of the Med… so close to resorts loved by Britons”

When that church service in Baghdad was attacked, the priest shot dead in his vestments, and the congregation taken hostage, there were demands made for the release of Iraqi prisoners, not complaints about girls in Egypt.
The tainted Islam-compromised BBC did not even mention the attack on the news.
Nor the next day. Two days later the egregious Clive Myrie did mention it, referring to it as a “disaster”.
Baz Smith says
I have noticed that most BBC news readers seem to expound there opinion on what has happened, not what actually has happened so we all get a screwed look at what is going on, most especially from Clive Myers.
Spot On says
I can only imagine the gross distortion in the UK media. In the US, the MSM is the same but it is possible to find the news if one is clever enough to know how to choose what is on the internet. This allows the liberals to deceive the majority of people.
Now Obama’s state department has said that “we can’t “kill” our way out of this one”. (I assume he would then allow them to kill us.) By his definition, we could not have won WWII. In WWII Gen. Curtis Lemay, said “When you kill enough of the enemy, you win”, ISIS knows this and Gen. Lemay was certainly right. Obama spokesmen said that all ISIS needs is jobs. This is absurd. Obama and his people are sophomoric thinking amateurs.
Elpee says
Every religion or faith is fighting with a common opponent namely Islam, Shia vs Sunni, Christians vs Muslims, Hindus vs Muslims, Buddhist vs Muslims an so on, this common enemy or disease rightly said by you is wide spread & needs immediate solution, organisations like Al Qaeda , Isis should be dealt with strongly, this is possible when countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan & Africa are not supported by UN, and they are deprived of all financial aid or grant received by them from countries like usa, these funds are diverted to such organisation for waging war on peace loving communities & countries.
Spot On says
I agree. Also I am sure every ISIS soldier already has a “job” and is well paid by ME standards. They apparently like love their job because they are savages and barbarians. Total war using every resource, including killing them all, is the only viable answer.
M S case says
Hey Spot On Sure wish we had some :Lemay’s and Patton’s left in the military today. I don’t think there is a General or Colonel either that could hold a light to either of them Of course the biggest problem is the commander is chief. You leader is by far the top dog in any operation but he must listen to his Generals…………That’s what happened in WW2.. If Hitler had listened to his Generals we just might be speaking German today instead of our own language whatever that might be.
So we have 3 problems #1 The Leader and # 2 the Generals. # 3 Guts. Can we withstand a protracted war with islam?……We must if we are to maintain our Christian heritage and survive as a free nation. THERE WILL BE BLOODSHED!!!!

Pope Shenouda was, ironically, vehemently anti-Israel, blaming Israel for the Copts’ persecutions by Egyptian Muslims. He espoused pan-Arabism, ignoring the fact that Copts are not Arabs, and are in fact the descendants of the people of Pharaonic Egypt, Arabized and marginalized by the Arab/Muslim conquests of the seventh century. His attitude was reflective of both antisemitism and dhimmitude, and the futility of trying to curry favor with his implacable Muslim enemies is clear, amply revealed by this article.
Sergio says
Who can doubt that these people are 100% Satan’s sons? However, we must pray for them. Perhaps God will grant them repentance. All souls deserve to be saved. Even those of the jihadists.
Sergio says
On second thought, no soul deserves to be saved, but Christ’s gift is for everyone, no matter how lost.
lebel says
Obviously this is a horrible crime but the reaction of the Egyptian government shows that it also cares about its Christian citizens.
