In North Carolina, a psychopath murdered three Muslims over a parking space, and we are admonished that #Muslimlivesmatter, and there are new calls for restricting speech that examines how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism. About this incident, in contrast, there will be no such outrage, and no calls to restcit anti-Christgin hate speech. Do #Christianlivesmatter? “Isis horror, 21 Christians slaughtered in Libya,” ANSAmed, February 13, 2015:

(ANSAmed) – CAIRO – Twenty-one Egyptian Christians kidnapped by Isis in Libya around New Year’s are feared dead, after Twitter accounts linked to the Libyan branch of the so-called “Islamic State” announced they had been slaughtered. There is no official confirmation yet but Egyptian media believe the news to be reliable and two pictures released by the same Twitter sources show what they describe as “the Islamic State carrying out the execution of Coptic prisoners in the province of Tripoli”. In the first picture five men wearing the notorious orange jumpsuit are kneeling while hooded hangmen armed with knives stand behind them. The caption, written in English, describes them as “the humiliated followers of the Coptic church”. In another picture more men wearing the orange jumpsuit appear in a line with their executioners under a message in English that reads “revenge for the Muslim women persecuted by Coptic crusaders in Egypt”. These pictures along with others were published by Dabiq, Isis’ online magazine in English, together with an announcement of the kidnapping but not of the execution. The abduction, already described by several sources as having taken place around New Year’s, was claimed on January 12 and there remains a faint hope that the news of the execution on Twitter is a fake stretching of the images released. The Egyptian government which set up a special crisis unit to follow the kidnapping did not confirm the death of the Copts.

Intense contacts “have been established with Libyan counterparts to clarify the situation and assess the truthfulness” of the information provided reads a statement by the presidency. In the aftermath of the fall of Muammar Gheddafi, Libya has plunged into chaos with two governments claiming power with two armies and distinct militias. Within this framework the Islamic State managed to create a caliphate in the city of Derna and to extend its realm of action more or less as far as Tripoli and Bengasi. The Christian minority in Libya is increasingly at risk especially in the east of Libya where radical Islamists have grown more powerful and acts of intimidation and violence against Copts have risen. The kidnapped men, originally from the region of Minya in central Egypt, were abducted in the city of Sirte, Egyptian newspaper Al Shourouk reported.(ANSAmed).

If you stop that mess in the med-east then these clowns left here in the west might just quit trying to take over the world quit Any good ideas???

    Copts are infidels as stated in the Noble Quran, Allah’s cures be on them. The three killed over the parking space are Muslim. Since Islam is the one true religion it is only right to punish the person who kills a Muslim without right, and not so much the Copts.

      Feb 13, 2015 at 10:56 am

      ah. yes. the noble Koran (shepherd of the mosque). the sublime poetry ot the malevolent, belligerent, ragefiled Allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) has enslaved you. the thoughts you expressed show that your brothers wish to make certain everyone is humiliated

      you carry their guilt for murder and rape and otherwise lack of compassion for with your agreement to their folly.

      quite contrary to the desire by the One, Unique God, who’s wrath will consume you and yours for so disrupting the orderly nature of things, you think Muhammad (lately contrived; full of lusts) is the model example of human behavior to imitate. NOT

      only Christ Jesus restores, builds up, encourages, the humble

      the wrath of the One, Unique God, rests on you, unless you turn from your untrue ways and seek Him.

      The only true religion is the Christian Faith. Islam is not a religion. The way you write and your system of thinking denote who you are and what you believe in.
      You are a dishrace to the humanity!

      May Jesus the true Son of God forgive you.

    The 21 Coptics are martyrs of the Christian Faith, the only true one.
    May God receive their sacrifice of life and rest their brave soul in the Kingdom of Heaven.
    And may the fire of Hell consume all these barbarians and devilish slaves of islam.

    • Baucent says

      A very good point, they are martyrs and I expect the Coptic church will recognize them as such.

      If it’s true that ‘Jesus saves’ then he must have nodded-off while the Copts were being slaughtered.

    It is true that there is not enough concern over the lives of Christians killed by Muslim extremists.

    • Mirren10 says

      Feb 13, 2015 at 5:34 pm

      ”It is true that there is not enough concern over the lives of Christians killed by Muslim extremists”

      Should be:

      ”It is true that there is little or no concern over the lives of Christians murdered by pious muslims following the dictates of the koran and hadith.”

      There. Fixed it for you.

          Well, is it a true, or false ‘mantra’ ?

          Come on, my mohammedan/apologist friend, instead of your usual vapid assertions, backed with no evidence whatsoever, let’s hear your denial of my ‘mantra’, complete with **evidence**.

    the Christian Faith, the only true one.

    Religious elitism creates supremacist bigots. In the world of religious supremacists there is only room for one at the top.
    Religious supremacist bigotry RSB, is unavoidable. If the other guys religion is superior to yours, you should be over there with him. So it’s not the RSB itself, it’s how does the individual handle it…Most Christians handle it just fine, with a few exceptions, Mahoundians not so much…They will kill you for their bigotry…

      Matthew 23: 10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
      Jesus tells us there no point in supremacy in Christianity, unless you want to be the supreme servant. islam is all about (self serving).

    #Muslimlivesmatter

    Yes, I agree that Moslem lives matter. But, as any physicist or biochemist will tell you, matter can be negative, neutral or positive. So Moslem lives matter, yes, but in a dark and foreboding way.

    With this episode the Moslem immigrants have co-opted the race pimp co-option of MLK’s fine but much pimped and whored legacy. He set an example for equality, his example is used as the calling card for prerogative, which aggrieved Moslems (a living redundancy) has elevated to supremacism.

    But will these supremacists hold their hands up in protest. Here’s hoping. They’d be less dangerous that way.

    I smell the stench of vanity.
    It never ceases to amaze me how people are willing to kill or die for religion or ideology, as if in doing so proves the validity of one over the other.
    Is this what the One True God wants?
    Does the One True God require blood to be spilled or sacrificed in the name of the One True God? Does a mother demand her children, the vary ones she created, to slay one another to show which loves her more?
    I think not. All of this stinks of the vanity of man.
    Call me what you like, but I do believe there is a One True God who is hard to fathom, and when we die, each and every one of us are in for a great big surprise.

        “Religion is meant to make you a better person.”

        I Agree 100%

        But what makes your religion superior to other religions?

        • EYESOPEN says

          Feb 14, 2015 at 6:50 pm

          There is TRUTH and there are lies. Jesus Christ said: “I am the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life. No one comes to the Father but through Me. And if what Jesus Christ said and did in His short life upon this Earth is any indication, I’m willing to put my soul in His hands.

        • MKG says

          Feb 14, 2015 at 7:18 pm

          I’m glad you have entrusted Jesus with your soul.

          Jesus Christ said: “I am the Way, the TRUTH, and the Life. No one comes to the Father but through Me.”

          Any one can make such a statement about a prophet, messiah or holy man and write it in their holy books. That still doesn’t answer the question of what makes one religion superior to another.

          There are lies. There is truth. But, there is also expansion of mind, body and spirit, as opposed to a narrow vision of the world and the hereafter. So I ask again, what makes one religion superior to another?

        • Champ says

          Feb 14, 2015 at 7:27 pm

          Hi, MKG …

    In another picture more men wearing the orange jumpsuit appear in a line with their executioners under a message in English that reads “revenge for the Muslim women persecuted by Coptic crusaders in Egypt”.
    ……………………………

    One might wonder what the hell this is a reference to. What happened was *this*—a year or tow ago Coptic women were kidnapped by Muslims and forced to say they had converted to Islam. The usual technique is to threaten to murder the victim’s whole family if she does not comply.

    The Coptic community had been trying to get reluctant and indifferent Egyptian authorities to rescue these women. They finally did—including the wife of a Coptic cleric. The authorities asked then if they wanted to return to the Coptic community, and they affirmed that they did.

    The Muslim public immediately went nuts, claiming that Copts themselves were “kidnapping” “Muslim women”. Never mind that this *makes no sense*—if their conversion to Islam had been sincere, they never would have said that they wanted to return to the Coptic community. Indeed, in Egypt, any pressure would have been all towards their remaining with their Muslim kidnappers.

    Never mind—Muslims had a new, if utterly implausible narrative—that instead of this being violence against Copts, that it was—somehow—violence *by* Copts against “Muslim women”.

    And *that’s* why these poor Copts in Libya were murdered—because some of their coreligionists in Egypt dared to confirm that they were, indeed, still Christians.

    The story was covered widely here at Jihad Watch.

    • Laura says

      Feb 15, 2015 at 10:09 am

      There was a similar case a while back, some muslims attacked a Coptic Church claiming that a ‘muslim’ woman was being held inside. The truth was that she was a Christian who had escaped her muslim ‘husband’ after being ‘converted’ by force.

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 15, 2015 at 10:41 pm

        This is actually very common, Laura.

        And it is not just Egypt—there have been cases in Pakistan where Christian and Hindu girls have been kidnapped, raped, and forcibly converted, and the courts there have ruled that the girls are now Muslim. The courts in Dar-al-Islam often enable and uphold kidnapping and forced conversion.

        We even have a Muslim troll who posts here—Rezali Mehil—who happily acknowledged that her great aunt had been forcibly converted during partition—and she *approved* of it.
