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

Muslim strength decides if Christian churches stand or fall

Mar 23, 2015 5:49 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

alBurhamiA video recording made on December 14, 2013 of Dr. Yusuf al-Burhami, a leading cleric in Egypt’s Salafi movement, was recently publicized on Arabic media due to its controversial nature.

In the video, Burhami says that “Destroying churches is permissible—as long as the destruction does not bring harm to Muslims, such as false claims that Muslims are persecuting Christians leading to [foreign] occupations.”  He further added that “the reason we agree to their being built, via the article in the constitution dealing with worship, and the reason we do not collect the jizya [tribute] from the Christians, is because the condition of Muslims in the current era is well known to the nations of the world—they are weak and deteriorating among the people.”

Burhami went on to explain that, when the Arab Muslims first conquered Egypt in the 7th century, the ancient nation was Christian and because the Muslims were few in number, Coptic Christian churches were allowed to remain—“just as the prophet allowed the Jews to remain in Khaibar after it he opened [conquered] it, but once Muslims grew in strength and number, [second caliph] Omar al-Khattab drove them out according to the prophet’s command, ‘Drive out the Jews and Christians from the Peninsula.’”

    Destruction of churches is permissible as long as it does not bring ” .. false claims of Muslim persecution…” !! Oh my my, these people are liars and deceivers to the core!! Surely, Mo/allah is the greatest deceiver!!

    Is there any truth in Islam?? Definitely not – the whole religion is built on lies and deceit!! And Muslims know it well!!

      Mohammad rule #1…Kill Jews, Christians, or anyone else, and do whatever evil deeds you can get by with as long as you don’t get caught.

    Get a load of that zebibah, zebibahs tending to prove not just the awfulness of Islam but also its stupidity. Might as well wear a sign saying, “Yes, I am completely gullible and the built-in crap detector I was born with is no longer working at all.”

    • EYESOPEN says

      Mar 23, 2015 at 8:08 pm

      Absolutely correct Wellington. You’ve got to wonder if constantly whacking the frontal lobe like that pre-disposes them to all of the evil that is izlam.

        ”You’ve got to wonder if constantly whacking the frontal lobe like that pre-disposes them to all of the evil that is izlam.”

        🙂

        Not just that, though; apparently they also sway back and forth whilst intoning koranic verses – can’t be doing the old cerebral cortex any good …

          Mireen, the only other place I have seen this kind of behavior is with the severely autistic. I remember how shocked I was at first seeing footage of a Madrassa, with the students rocking back and forth and all babbling their rote with a dead inflection, while the “teacher” roams the rows with a stick looking for some unlucky boy to beat.

          That these are referred to as “schools” could not be more grotesque.

        • gravenimage says

          Mar 24, 2015 at 11:42 am

          That should nave been “Mirren”. So sorry.

        • Mirren10 says

          Mar 24, 2015 at 3:57 pm

          Yeah, ‘mireen’ sounds a tad islamic ! 🙂

          How are the cartoons going, graven ? I can’t wait to see them all, and I hope you win !

          We’ve had a few spring days over here, so I’ve been out in my garden, planting bulbs and seeds, weeding , and generally pottering. Great fun.

          I wonder if mohammedans ever plant growing things, and nurture a garden ? Somehow I doubt it.

        • gravenimage says

          Mar 31, 2015 at 10:44 pm

          Please don’t read anything into my typos, Mirren—sometimes a missed keystroke is just a missed keystroke…

          Glad you’re planting things—it sounds very life-affirming!

      In Islam’s Bizzarro world the nutty goons are often the one’s in charge.
      It could be worst. If Morsi was still in charge this guy would probably be given a top position in government.

      Imagine if this guy were to be locked up in a padded cell.
      He would be furious about being deprive of his religious rights to smash his head properly in order to get a perfect bump to die for.

      He seems to have two zebibahs! Like he can’t make up his mind: “Am I worshipping Beelzebul today? Or is it Ashteroth?”
      So many demons! So little time!

    … as long as there is no harm to muslims?

    those enslaved by SHARIA (a tool for enslavement … of mind, heart, soul) will truly be harmed if there a no churches left for they shall not hear TRUTH down at the mosque

    it is good that the mosque is porous and many find that the Allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) is NOT the greatest except, perhaps, in its unrighteousness.

    Is he a zebiba gold medalist?

    • Wellington says

      Mar 23, 2015 at 7:04 pm

      No doubt, he’s a contender. I mean that is one big-ass zebibah.

          Mar 23, 2015 at 10:29 pm

          “Frontal lobe damage is a possibility.”
          Frontal lobe damage is an indispensable requirement for the willing muslim. Why else do they need that bandage on their head-pieces?

      • gerard says

        Mar 23, 2015 at 10:32 pm

        I suspect they strike their heads several times a day with a stone to get the “mark of the beast”. Or am I a cynic?

  5. jewdog says

    Mar 23, 2015 at 7:02 pm

    So when are we going to retake and occupy the lands that the Muslims have occupied? That will be the only way to get them out of there.

  6. somehistory says

    Mar 23, 2015 at 7:17 pm

    And no surprise, this is what non-muslim experts on islam have been telling us all. When the numbers of muslims are few, they hide their malevolent nature under a cloak of pretense, but when their numbers increase to a point where they feel power, then the true evil comes out and violence is perpetrated on those who have welcomed, or have been forced to allow, them into the communities.

    Like the snake with the bunnies in wintertime…they hide their venom and fangs from the poor rabbits until spring arrives and they no longer need to hide what they are in order to keep safe and warm. The fangs come out and the bunnies pay with their lives.

    *Revelation 13

    • Jay Boo says

      Mar 23, 2015 at 8:11 pm

      So true somehistory

      Just another in a long list of examples of (Pig Bath religion 101)

      Pious Muslims have no scruples.
      That is why they act pious in the first place, so they could behave just like Muhammad.

    • EYESOPEN says

      Mar 23, 2015 at 8:12 pm

      True somehistory. Lokk at what happened in Lebanon. Just ask Brigette Gabriel. Her book, “Because They Hate” tells all about what happened in Lebanon starting in 1975, when the NUMBERS of “Palestinians” increased to critical mass.

      • ECAW says

        Mar 24, 2015 at 4:00 am

        Thanks. Have ordered it. The case of Lebanon seems important and we need to understand it, particularly those who say it could never happen here.

        Is it as good as Wafa Sultan’s “A God who hates”? That had a more profound effect on me than any of the other books I have read on the subject.

        • dumbledoresarmy says

          Mar 24, 2015 at 5:31 am

          Brigitte Gabriel’s book is excellent.

        • gravenimage says

          Yes—an important book.

      “Like the snake with the bunnies in wintertime”

      I like your analogy of Muslim’s human behavior.

      Reminds me of an old Spanish proverb:

      Breed crows so they can pluck your eyes out.

  7. gravenimage says

    Mar 24, 2015 at 12:42 am

    Muslim strength decides if Christian churches stand or fall
    …………………………….

    This is certainly true. In the places where Muslims feel strongest, there are no Christian churches: Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Afghanistan.

    And places where Muslims are growing in power are seeing a flood of church destruction: Pakistan, Bosnia, northern Nigeria, Syria, the “Palestinian territories”.

    And Muslims are attacking churches in places where they don’t even make up the majority yet: Uganda, Kenya.

    And while Muslims have not graduated to full church destruction in the West yet, we have attacks on churches and vandalism. This is only going to grow.

    More:

    In the video, Burhami says that “Destroying churches is permissible—as long as the destruction does not bring harm to Muslims, such as false claims that Muslims are persecuting Christians leading to [foreign] occupations.”
    ……………………………

    *False* claims? Apparently destroying churches is not persecuting Christians. This may seem odd, but as Mohammedans see it only pious Muslims can be persecuted. Anything done to the “filthy Infidels”, including enslavement and genocide, is just a form of Islamic “justice”.

    More:

    He further added that “the reason we agree to their being built, via the article in the constitution dealing with worship, and the reason we do not collect the jizya [tribute] from the Christians, is because the condition of Muslims in the current era is well known to the nations of the world—they are weak and deteriorating among the people.”
    …………………………….

    Yes—pressure from the free West led the Ottoman Empire to abolish Jizya and most Muslims countries to abolish slavery, on paper at least. A lot of the gaudiest aspects of brutal Shari’ah law were pushed back to the hinterland, especially in places like Egypt where the West had an active presence.

    Tis period lasted from about two hundred years ago with the defeat of the Barbary Pirates until about fifty years ago, when the West began to exhibit its crisis of confidence.

    This influence is the very reason why you can look at pictures from places like Egypt and Afghanistan from years ago and find so many unveiled women—which is just one of the most visible signs of reduced Muslim barbarism.

    Of course, even during the period of greatest Western power and influence, things were hardly perfect. The Ottoman Empire reacted to being pressured to end formal dhimmitude by perpetrating the Armenian Genocide—if they couldn’t exploit their Christian population, they would simply murder them all.

    More:

    Burhami went on to explain that, when the Arab Muslims first conquered Egypt in the 7th century, the ancient nation was Christian and because the Muslims were few in number, Coptic Christian churches were allowed to remain—“just as the prophet allowed the Jews to remain in Khaibar after it he opened [conquered] it, but once Muslims grew in strength and number, [second caliph] Omar al-Khattab drove them out according to the prophet’s command, ‘Drive out the Jews and Christians from the Peninsula.’”
    …………………………….

    But now these thugs are feeling powerful again, and intend to ramp up their oppression, enslavement, and mass-murder again.

    We can see this at its clearest in the Islamic State, where the final push is on to render that hell-hole “Christian-rein”.

    Banging the head on the floor has no effect on the muslim mind- which is utterly dysfunctional. The Islam virus has made it mush.

    Mar 24, 2015 at 2:13 pm

    Is that the imprint of a sledge hammer in this guy’s forehead? Or perhaps a horseshoe mark from rough sex with a farm animal?
    Burning down Christian churches is fine unless the outcome is bad for a Muslim!!! It just keeps getting better and better doesn’t it?

    This man has the biggest “zabeeba” the mark of Islam on his fore head , it is huge .

    Therefore , just a general question regarding Islam :

    Do you think that the practice of banging your head on to a prayer stone 5 times a day, year after year , which is the cause of the ” zebeeba ” may result in significant reduction or loss of some brain function ?

    Help me out here !

    • xxxChurch100 says

      Mar 24, 2015 at 4:37 pm

      I think I have an answer to my own question …. it is so obvious … if this condition persist or worsens
      should his head be lanced ?
