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

Egypt: Christian arrested for offending Muslims, witch-hunt for 5 others

Apr 14, 2015 6:52 pm By Raymond Ibrahim

Relatives of Egyptian Coptic men killed in Libya mourn at their house in al-Our village, in Minya governorate, south of CairoLast week, security agents arrested Gad Yusif Yunan, a 22-year-old Coptic Christian man who works as an English teacher in Nasriya village, Upper Egypt, on the charge of “contempt of religions.”  He is accused of posting a 30-second video on his personal Facebook page that deals with Muslim prayers and is apparently insulting.

Once local Muslims discovered it, they informed security agents who who proceeded to arrest him in the late night.  Security is also looking for five others believed to have been involved in the film.

The young Copt was reportedly held for four days pending investigations in his exact role in this 30-second-film.

Although Egypt’s “contempt of religions” law theoretically applies to all religions—theoretically means if a Muslim insults Christians or Christianity in Egypt, he too should be arrested—it is used almost exclusively to target Egypt’s Christian minorities.

Update: On Friday, April 10 — as usual, after Islam’s weekly communal prayers  – Muslims in Nasriya village rose up in violence against Christian homes, hurling stones through their windows and even setting fire to them.  This was done in “retaliation” to the offense Muslims received from the Coptic teacher who was arrested two days earlier.

    I’ve been praying for you my sisters and brothers in Christ. Just be faithful to Jesus coming back soon is at hand at almost at the door of the great tribulation. GOD knows what your sufferings are.

    HOLY BIBLE

    MATTHEW 24:13 — BUT HE WHO STANDS FIRM TO THE END WILL BE SAVED.
    REVELATION 22:12 — THIS CALLS FOR PATIENT ENDURANCE ON THE PART OF THE SAINT WHO OBEY GOD’S COMMANDMENTS AND REMAINS FAITHFUL TO JESUS!!

    P S A L M 1 2
    The LORD will protect the oppressed

    Help, LORD, for the godly are no more;
    the faithful had vanished from among men.
    Everyone lies to His neighbor;
    their flattering lips speak with deception.

    May the LORD cut off all flattering lips
    and every boastful tongue that says,
    “We will triumph with our tongues;
    we own our lips – who is our master?”

    “Because the oppression of the weak
    and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD.

      ‘God’ may well know what the sufferings are, but it seems totally unconcerned, or it might reasonably be doing something, anything, to alleviate the sufferings of middle eastern Christians, don’t you think?
      Prayers offered up to a non-existent ‘god’ are a waste of time.

        Laura,

        I agree. Prayer offered up to a non-existent ‘god’ IS a waste of time. However; I don’t believe Remy or myself are petitioning such……..

        A Challenge from the God of Prophecy

        Is there anyway of knowing who the true God is?
        Is there anyway of knowing whether the Bible is the word of God?
        Are we simply to accept these things ‘by faith’ without any evidence?

        For God to be God, He must know all things. That’s obvious. That includes everything that has happened, is happening, and most incredibly, what will happen in the future. The God of the Bible says this about Himself –

        Isaiah 46:9-10 ‘I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’

        So not only does the God of the Bible know all things, but He has chosen to make known to us, through the Bible, what is still to come! In fact, even more than that, the God of the Bible CHALLENGES any so-called ‘gods’ to do the same!!!

        Isaiah 41:21-23 “Present your case,” says the LORD. “Set forth your arguments,” says Jacob’s King. “Bring in your idols to tell us what is going to happen. Tell us what the former things were, so that we may consider them and know their final outcome. Or declare to us the things to come, tell us what the future holds, so we may know that you are gods.’

        Jehovah, the God of the Bible issues this challenge because He knows that there are no other Gods. He alone is God, and therefore, it stands to reason, that He alone is the only one who could accurately and consistently declare the end from the beginning! In view of this, it should not surprise us to learn that there are no detailed prophecies in the Koran (Islam’s holy book), the Hindu Vedas, the book of Mormon, or the sayings of Buddha. The reason being that it is impossible to consistently and accurately predict specific future events unless you are God! Yet 30% of the entire Bible is devoted to prophecy of what is to come!

        So let’s examine some of the different prophecies contained in the Bible. This will be split up into the following categories: prophecies of the Messiah, prophecies concerning Israel, and prophecies concerning the conditions in the last days.

        10 Old Testament Prophecies Concerning The Messiah

        No prophecy foretold the coming of Buddha, Confucius or Muhammad. Yet there are hundreds concerning Jesus Christ, the Messiah. All of these prophecies were fulfilled in the life and death or Jesus Christ. Please also remember that all of the Old Testament prophecies (in red) were spoken, and recorded, hundreds of years before Jesus came to earth.

        1. Be Born in Bethlehem
        Old Testament Prophecy: Micah 5:2 ‘But you, Bethlehem, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from old.’
        New Testament Fulfilment: Matt 2:1 ‘After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea…’

        2. Preceded by a messenger
        Old Testament Prophecy: Isaiah 40:3 ‘The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God.’
        New Testament Fulfilment Matt 3:1-2 ‘In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’

        3. Enter Jerusalem on a colt
        Old Testament Prophecy: Zech 9:9 ‘Rejoice greatly O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, thy King comes to you… humble riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’
        New Testament Fulfilment Luke 19:35 ‘They bought it to Jesus, and they threw their coats on the colt and they put Jesus on it.’

        4. Be Betrayed by a friend
        Old Testament Prophecy: Psalm 41:9 ‘Yes, my own friend in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.’
        New Testament Fulfilment Matt 26:47-50 ‘And while he spoke, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords… Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whosoever I shall kiss, that same is he; hold him fast… and Jesus said unto him, ‘Friend, why have you come?’

        5. Have his hands and feet pierced
        Old Testament Prophecy: Psalm 22:16 ‘The assembly of the wicked have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and my feet.’
        New Testament Fulfilment Luke 23:33 ‘And when they came to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.’

        6. Be wounded and whipped by his enemies
        Old Testament Prophecy: Isaiah 53:5 ‘But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him and by his stripes we are healed.’
        New Testament Fulfilment Matt 27:26 ‘Then they released Barabbas unto them and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.’

        7. Be sold for thirty pieces of silver
        Old Testament Prophecy: Zech 11:12 ‘And I said to him, If you think it is good in your sight, give me my wages… So they weighed out thirty pieces of silver for my price.’
        New Testament Fulfilment Matt 26:15 ‘What will you give me if I deliver him unto you? And they agreed with him for thirty pieces of silver.’

        8. Be spit upon and beaten
        Old Testament Prophecy: Isaiah 50:6 ‘I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked out my hair: I did not hide my face from the shame and spitting.’
        New Testament Fulfilment Matt 26:67 Then did they spit in his face, and hit him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands

        9. The betrayal money thrown in the temple and used for a potters field
        Old Testament Prophecy: Zech 11:13 ‘And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter that magnificent price at which I was valued by them. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the Lord.’
        New Testament Fulfilment Matt 27:5-7 ‘And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple… And they conferred together and with the money bought the Potter’s field as a burial place for strangers.’
        This is a remarkable prophecy for it is God who says ‘Cast it to the potter that magnificent (sarcasm!) price at which they valued me…’ How could man put a price on God? It doesn’t make sense until God Himself, Jesus Christ, came to earth and was valued and betrayed for exactly 30 pieces of silver!

        10. Cast lots for Jesus’ clothing
        Old Testament Prophecy: Psalm 22:18 ‘They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.’
        New Testament Fulfilment Matt 27:35 ‘And when they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots.’

        Statisticians have calculated that for all of the above prophecies to be fulfilled in one person it is a combined probability of One chance in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000! And this is limiting ourselves to just these 10 prophecies! Jesus claimed to be the fulfillment of the Old Testament Messianic prophecies, and now we have seen that His life and death did accurately fulfill these prophecies made hundreds of years before.

        10 Prophecies Concerning The Nation of Israel

        By far, the greatest number of prophecies in the Bible concern the nation of Israel. In fact, many have said that if you want to know what time it is on God’s clock, then look at the nation of Israel, for she shall be the center of attention in the fulfilment of Bible prophecies in these last days. Today we live in an age when the entire focus of the world is upon a tiny strip of land in the Middle East called Israel. So lets have a look at what Bible prophecy says about this nation.
        1. Disobedience would lead to the nation of Israel being scattered amongst all nations.
        Deut 28:64 ‘Then the LORD will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other.’
        See also Lev 26:33, Jer 9:16, Ezek 12:15. In all, 6 different books of the Bible predict the scattering of Israel amongst all the nations of the earth. History records this being fulfilled in 70 AD when Jerusalem was destroyed by the Roman Empire and the remaining Jews were scattered amongst the nations.

        2. No rest for their souls while in exile amongst the nations
        Deut 28:65-66 Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the LORD will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart. You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life.
        For nearly 2000 years following the destruction in 70AD, the ‘wandering Jew’ has lived without a homeland, subject to the strongest racial prejudice and torment suffered by any people group. From the day they were scattered to the day Hitler devised his ‘final solution to the Jewish problem’, this prophecy spoken by Moses has sadly been fulfilled.

        3. God himself would restore the Jews to the land of Israel from all the nations
        Jer 16:14-16 However, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when men will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’ but they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ For I will restore them to the land I gave their forefathers.
        In all, 13 books of the Bible speak of the nation of Israel being restored in their land from the nations in which they were scattered. This prophecy became history in 1948 when the United Nations granted a homeland to the Jewish people and the nation of Israel was reborn! See also Jer 3:14, 31:8-9, Isa 60:8-9, Deut 30:3, Amos 9:15.

        4. The desolate land of Israel would again blossom and be fruitful in the last days.
        Zech 7:14 I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations, where they were strangers. The land was left so desolate behind them that no one could come or go. This is how they made the pleasant land desolate.
        History records that while the Jewish people were exiled amongst many nations, the land of Israel was a barren desert. See also Lev 26:33, Ezek 15:8, Jer 9:12-13, 23:10, 44:22, Isa 32:13
        Isa 27:6 In the days to come, Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill the world with fruit.
        This is exactly the case today! Not only has God bought the Jewish people back into their land like He said He would in the last days, but He has also blessed the land so that they now export flowers and fruit around the world! Satellite photos show the green pastures of the nation of Israel, in sharp contrast with the surrounding desert lands of the Arab nations. See also Isa 35:1, Ezek 36:35.

        5. God Himself would defend Israel and cause Israel to be mighty in battle
        Zech 12:8 On that day the LORD will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the LORD going before them.
        Taken in context, this verse speaks about God defending Israel in a battle to come in the last days. Have we not seen this miraculously occur several times since Israel became a nation again in 1948? They have been greatly outnumbered in key Arab-Israeli wars in 1948, 1967, and 1973. Yet Israel exists! God has seen to that!

        6. In the last days, Jerusalem would be a burden to the entire world.
        Zech 12:2-3 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about… And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces.
        Turn on your TV and watch the news. What nation and what city would you most likely expect to see? Israel and Jerusalem! Today, Jerusalem is a burden that causes trembling for all the nations just as God foretold. What makes this prophecy even more remarkable is that when the prophet Zechariah spoke these words around 520BC, Jerusalem lay in ruins. But God said it would become the focus of the world’s attention! Today, Israel has 0.01% of the worlds population, yet 33% of the United Nations resolutions have been passed concerning her!

        7. In the end, all nations shall come against Israel.
        Zech 14:2 I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped.
        Apart from the USA, Israel has few allies. In a recent conference on racism in South Africa, the Israeli and United States delegates were forced to walk out as the other participating nations vented their anger towards Israel and tried to declare it a racist state. One day, the Bible predicts, she will have no allies, and all nations shall be gathered against her. The TV news will show you that we are on the road towards that battle. But if the odds seem a little uneven, please read the next prophecy that the Bible predicts…

        8. God Himself, Jesus Christ, will return and fight for Israel against the attacking nations.
        Zech 14:3-4 Then the LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.
        You may have heard of this battle to come. It’s called the battle of Armageddon because of the location where the nations assemble themselves before attacking. The book of Revelation puts it like this…
        Rev 16:14-16 They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty… Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
        Revelation also prophecies the return of Jesus Christ on this day saying…
        Rev 19:11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war.

        9. The nation of Israel will finally recognize that Jesus was their Messiah, whom they crucified!
        Zech 12:9-10 On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem. And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
        What a day that will be! Even though the Bible predicted that the Messiah would die, and have His feet and hands pierced, the nation of Israel has, for the last 2000 years, hardened their heart and not believed that Jesus was their Messiah. At the time of the end, they will again look to the one whom they pierced and oh how great the mourning and sadness will be on that day for what they did! Yet Jesus will pour out His grace upon Israel!

        10. God will judge the nations depending upon their treatment of the Jewish people.
        Joel 1:1-2 In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.
        Today we live in an age where we hear all the time about a ‘Middle-East peace process’. It essentially comes down to ‘Israel give up more of your land and we won’t send as many suicide bombers into your cities…’ It seems everyone wants a slice of Jerusalem for themselves. For this, and the world’s repeated and continual abysmal treatment of the Jewish people, the judgment of God will come.

        These prophecies are not vague like Nostradamus or modern day ‘so-called’ psychics. They are detailed and specific in their application. Time and space does not permit us to go into the many other prophecies concerning the nation of Israel. Yet such things as a false peace, the rebuilding of the third Jewish temple, and a coming great persecution of the Jewish people under a world leader have all been prophesied. It will all take place because God has said it.

        10 Prophecies & Signs Concerning The End Of The Age

        While the key sign of the end times is the rebirth of Israel, as mentioned above, there are many important signs to look out for to recognize the end of the age. Several of these are repeated consistently by Jesus Himself, and writers of the New Testament.
        1. An increase in disasters, plagues and wars
        Matt 24:3-7 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” Jesus answered: ‘…You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
        That our generation has seen a marked increase in famines and earthquakes has been thoroughly documented. The word ‘nation’ in this passage can also be translated ‘ethnic group’. Again, even within nations there has been a great increase in the unrest between races. See also Revelation chapter 6.

        2. A rise in false religious leaders, deception and those claiming to be Christ.
        Matt 24:4-5 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.
        Again, our generation has seen a flood of guru’s and so-called Christ’s invade our culture as the west has opened itself up to Hinduism in the form of the New Age.

        3. A falling away from the true faith in Jesus Christ.
        Matt 24:10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other.
        2 Thes 2:3 Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the day of the Lord – God’s judgment upon the earth) will not come unless the apostasy (a falling away from the faith) comes first.
        It is sad to see, but our generation has seen a great move away from Biblical Christianity, in favour of ecumenicalism and unity with all faiths. This is setting the scene for the one world religion which will occur in the last days and is a direct result of the deception prophesied about and mentioned above.

        4. An explosion in knowledge and travel.
        Daniel 12:4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.
        This increase in knowledge is occurring now at an exponential rate. The internet has played a large role in this. We now play God with the very genes and DNA that make us human. Surely Jesus will have to return soon, for where will this lead if left in the hands of a fallen creation?

        5. Increase in wickedness and a decrease in morals.
        Matt 24: 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
        Matt 24:37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
        Luke 17:28-30 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot… Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
        The days of Noah were known for their wickedness and violence (Gen 6:5). The days of Lot, living in Sodom and Gomorrah were known for the homosexuality that occurred. (Gen 19) We see both increasing today with parades to openly display and flaunt their wickedness.

        6. General signs concerning the condition of the human heart.
        2 Tim 3:1-5 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power.
        The Bible says that in the last days humanity will love themselves, money, and pleasure… but not God! – In our age, self-esteem and loving yourself is in… boasting and pride is promoted! Family life is breaking down as people are becoming more disobedient towards parents, unthankful, unloving, and unforgiving.

        7. God’s people will be persecuted, hated and killed.
        Matt 24:9 Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
        A recent report on persecution stated that more Christians were martyred in the 20th century than in all previous centuries combined… and the 21st century has started of worse still! Another recent report researched 33 countries and reported that 75% of all religious persecution is against Christians! Unfortunately it will only increase.

        8. The emergence of a world leader.
        Rev 13:3-8 The whole world was astonished and followed the beast (the Antichrist, who will rule the world)… and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?” And he was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world.
        Listen to the world leaders today as they speak of the ‘New World Order’. See the unification that is occurring within Europe and other nations. Even non-Christians can see that we are heading for a one world government. This is what the Bible predicted nearly 2000 years ago. This government will be given into the hands of the most wicked man this world has ever known.

        9. A global financial system and the mark of the beast!
        Rev 13:16,17 He (the antichrist) also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
        What was an absurd impossibility 2000 years ago, is rapidly becoming reality today. Does anyone really doubt that this is where we are going with today’s technology? We already place microchips in our cats and dogs to give them a unique identifier. If we are to have a one world government, then what better way to control the people than to control all finance and trade? It is a clear sign of the age in which we live that we now have the technology to control finance in this way.

        10. A mocking of Jesus’ return and the signs of His coming
        2 Peter 3:3-4 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”
        The last sign could well be the saddest. The Apostle Peter tells us that despite the signs that are clearly seen, people will scoff and mock at the thought that the end of the age and the return of Jesus are coming. They prefer just to believe that everything will carry on as it always has. I trust and hope that you, having read the key Bible prophecies listed on this page, take these things seriously and are not among those that mock.

        Conclusion

        We started by showing the challenge that the God of the Bible issues for all other ‘gods’ – that is, to accurately predict the things which will take place in the future. And they can’t! No other religion would dare to base it’s validity on the basis of repeated and accurate predictions. Yet the Bible is full of prophecy from the first book to the last!

        If you are looking for proof of God or the Bible, here it is! All the prophecies that I have mentioned above have either already taken place, or are heading in that direction in our age. It can only be explained by this – that the God of the Bible is the true God and He has given enough evidence for those who truly want to find the truth! Are you one of those?

          Are you now the self-appointed moderator of this blog? How do you know what ‘most people’ want? A bit presumptious, don’t you think?

          There is no compulsion to read anypne’s post. But for those who don’t have closed minds, and are searching for reassurance, Gary’s post is immensely helpful.

          I am also going to copy it for those who are going through a time of uncertainty, and I am grateful to Gary for posting it.

    Farther proof that Muhammad lied about his relationship with God……. (He never knew the Father.)

    “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. “If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. “Remember the word that I said to you, `A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also. “But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me. “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. “He who hates Me hates My Father also. ”

    …….Jesus Circa 33 A.D.

    John 15:18-23

        The beast of Islam derives its power from deception.
        It has no real power.

          So did the legal case against Jesus have no validity, but it brought about a very real & brutal death, which is where islam shines.

    It’s just more proof that Muslims are incapable of living alongside those of other religions. Perhaps isolationism is the best solution for them.

    Funny how with most religions, prayer or meditation usually calms people down. However with Islam, prayer services seem to be immediately followed by violence of some sort, whether it’s Egypt or Dearborn, MI.

    Very immature comment I must say.
    Instead of picking faults with their statements you choose to mock them. Do you come here to mock people or have a debate which means replying sensibly to people you may disagree with?
    I am very angry that our governments are working extremely hard to enslave us and the best vehicle is Islam. Communism clearly doesn’t work because it’s not terrifying enough.and people don’t follow an ideology as passionately unless it’s called religion. Communism forces you to obey while religion is followed willingly.
    If you choose not see the truth don’t worry, we will still save you too.

    Muslims and Islam offend me, but that’s ok, because my feelings don´t count, only those of Muslims.
    Mustn´t upset the Muslims. After all, the poor victimised darlings are only practicing their religion when they invade other peoples countries and rape, murder, burn, behead and crucify all those that resist the divine joys of Islam.

    Egypt got rid of Morsi, but they didn’t get rid of Allah and sharia.
    That means the abuses will continue until Christian morale improves.

      Very true, Swami. There were many hopeful people—even here at Jihad Watch—who were sure that Al Sisi would usher in a new era of absolute equality for Christians. Instead, things are at least as bad as they were under Mubarak.

      I suppose that they would be even worse if the Muslim Brotherhood had not been ousted. Cold comfort for the Coptic victims, though.

    Avenger says.. The U.S. funds, builds, deploys and maintains the Pakistan nuclear weapons program

    You do, of course, have verification for that?

    • Avenger says

      Apr 16, 2015 at 12:46 am

      @ duh_swami
      During the Eisenhower years there was a program called Atoms for Peace which financed two research laboratories in Pakistan, it was then followed by two US and Canadian funded and built nuclear research reactors. Funding for their missile program came from US, Saudi Arabia and China with most of its technicians being trained in the USA.
      Hard to believe there was a falling from grace between Islamabad and Washington early in the Obama presidency ( killing the scumbag Osama Bin Laden didn’t help ). As of now the Paki’s won’t let anyone come near their nukes and they claim their homegrown jihadis can never commandeer a silo. They also have roughly 120,000 military and civilian personnel directly involved in its nuclear defence program, very expensive for a economy of its size. Since 2001 the USA has given Pakistan over $100,000,000 directly for its nuke program ( to harden its silos ), that’s above and beyond the normal millions in aid we give.
      However, I do stand corrected, we now have zero influence on a “first use” nuclear exchange against India.

          I agree Charlie that India will advance dramatically and Pakistan will fracture into religious hatred and death, consuming any social or economic growth.
          I also believe India should be the nation that the USA installs an ABM System in, not East Europe which will only start another arms race with Russia.

          This is concerning-
          If the Pakistan military really didn’t know the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden ( blocks from their defence headquarters ), then isn’t it a real bad idea that they would posess the trigger controlling 30-40 nuclear tipped missiles?

    OFF TOPIC

    For all those folk that have access to Brit TV (satellite and local). Please try to watch a programme being aired today ( Wednesday 15th ) on BBC 2.
    Its called ” Kill the Christians”. The programme shows the horrors of the systematic, mass extermination of Christians all over the Middle East, by Muslims.
    This genocide of course has NOTHING to do with Islam.
    Just ask Obama, Cameron, Merkel and Hollande, if in doubt.

    We Muslims hate non Muslims because our God and holy book said to do so. Every day from child hood our parents tell this thing to us. It is our Islamic culture to hate other religions. Ask your religions were false. That is why we hate you.if you become Muslim we didn’t hate you. Until all this world become Islamic land we never sleep we harass you. This is our right given by our God to kill non Muslims. Wet hate Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists. Only Muslims should live in this universe.if there were any aliens we go to there and spread our Islam too. We will terror them until they accept our religion.Islam is the greatest. I read Quran every day and every time I get inspiration from it to hate non Muslims and to fight against them. Yes Quran tells to hate and kill non Muslims.what’s wrong in it.Quran is our book it is a Muslim book. It should be against non Muslims. You people following false religions Islam is true. One day we make white house into a mosque. We already had a Muslim president there. He is Barak Hussein Obama that’s why he is opposing your friend Israel.He is our man.He works for us.He is appointed there by our God Allah. Soon we convert US and Europe into Islamic lands. All people will live under sharia.long live Islam.

    There have been so many reports of Islamic mischief* of one sort or another in the past year, there really needs to be created a separate “Sissi Watch” to document the growing mass of evidence indicating that this latest Great Brown Hope of the Counter Jihad Softies (and their more caffeinated PC MC cousins out in the Mainstream) is, yet again, a vain expectation – which anyone who has been paying attention to the mountain of data of Islamic history, text, and news (really bloody Atlas Mountain Ranges of data for God’s sake) could have told you before even looking at the data, through the unique principle of rational prejudice in this sui generis regard which so frightens the Counter Jihad Softy.

    * Mis”chief (?), n. [OE. meschef bad result…] 1. Harm; damage; esp., disarrangement of order; trouble or vexation caused by human agency or by some living being, intentionally or not; often, calamity, mishap…

    Egypt: Christian arrested for offending Muslims, witch-hunt for 5 others
    ……………………………..

    These poor men.

    A witch hunt indeed. Somehow I doubt that Egypt is pursuing Muslims who burn churches and attack Copts with this kind of zeal…

    More:

    Although Egypt’s “contempt of religions” law theoretically applies to all religions—theoretically means if a Muslim insults Christians or Christianity in Egypt, he too should be arrested—it is used almost exclusively to target Egypt’s Christian minorities.
    ……………………………..

    I know some people were giddy over this “contempt of religions” law. I was queasy about it from the beginning—for one thing, this kind of blasphemy law is inherently unjust—anyone should have the right to criticize religions.

    But even more to the point, it was clear that this would *only* be used for Islam—the plural in “religions” is no more than a fig leaf.

    And Muslims are trying to get these laws passed in the West, as well.

    More:

    Update: On Friday, April 10 — as usual, after Islam’s weekly communal prayers – Muslims in Nasriya village rose up in violence against Christian homes, hurling stones through their windows and even setting fire to them. This was done in “retaliation” to the offense Muslims received from the Coptic teacher who was arrested two days earlier.
    ……………………………..

    “Nasriya”—this name tells us a lot. “Nasriya” means “Nativity”—so this was almost certainly a Christian village to begin with. Now it has a burgeoning Muslim population and a Mosque, and the pious Mohammedans are poised to drive out the indigenous Copts.

    How many times have we see this? The easiest thing to do is accuse the local Christians of “blasphemy”.

    I ask again—are Egyptian authorities going after these violent Muslim attackers as they are after peaceful Christian bloggers? Surely not.

  16. voegelinian says

    Apr 15, 2015 at 3:10 pm

    Will Jihad Watchers remember this article — and the dozens of other articles in the last year or so indicating Business As Usual in Islamic Egypt — the next time someone gushes like a school girl over Al-Sissi (or offers up a soberly guarded thumbs up in Zbigniew-Brzezinskish expertise)? With my experience of Jihad Watchers over the years (e.g., their romance with the “Iranian People”– i.e., flirtation with millions of Muslims), I wouldn’t bank on it…

    To the posters above who delight in spreading their mythology and superstitions: please desist. Keep such feeble-minded ideas to yourself and don’t expect other, more rational, people to be fooled by your Bronze Age fairy tales. Thanks

    • Robert says

      Paul,

      Doesn’t it seem odd to you that Christians represent the bulk of those who recognize Islam as a threat? Why is it that we see what most secular and liberal people do not see? It is not because we’re any smarter than anybody else obviously. I would argue that your blanket rejection of “bronze age mythology” blinds you to reality. There is a spiritual dimension to this conflict which you cannot see because you choose to believe in a blind secular mythology which says that matter is all there is.

      • Paul Davey says

        Apr 17, 2015 at 2:30 am

        Robert,

        Point taken. But many skeptics were one on the other side and can clearly understand the motives of believers, any believers.

        You say that I’m blinded to reality. If by reality you mean the spiritual beliefs of Muslims, then you are wrong. I fully understand the magical thinking of Muslims, and indeed all believers.

        However, If the reality that you are referring to is the one that you believe involves things like God and miracles — things that can’t be measured or proven in any way — then you have redefined reality.
