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

Islamic law overrides Egyptian law in case of recent church attack, says Coptic priest

Apr 2, 2015 7:48 am By Raymond Ibrahim

egypt-christiansAccording to a local priest and Coptic spokesman, last Friday’s assault on a Coptic Christian church proposed to be built, with President Sisi’s permission, to honor the 21 Coptic Christians who were slaughtered by the Islamic State in Libya, was all too typical and a reminder that Islamic Sharia sentiment continues to trump the sovereignty of the Egyptian state.  During an interview he said:

First, what happened is that, when we make a decision for the church but then cannot implement this decision [to build the church] because some of the Muslims do not want it, because they don’t want the church—this is, first and foremost, a failure of the state and its authority and a failure of the rule of law.  When a group comes to oppose [with violence, several Copts were injured], and the police leaves them free, this is like a disease that will spread everywhere.

Today, for example, there is a decision, but there are say 3-4 Brotherhood or Salafis opposing it, and the government appears protesting with them—in this case, you have given everyone who wants to oppose [with violence] the opportunity to oppose.

    When you think about it, the ever so frequently repeated phrase ‘Shari’ah law” means Islamic law law.

    I’m glad to see that this article used the phrase ‘Islamic law’.

    BACKWARD religion

    ‘Airahs’ pronounced (errors) is (sharia) spelled backwards coincidentally.

    ……………………………

    Indeed so. Sisi’s vaunted “reform” seems to be more on paper than anything else.

    Will the Egyptian authorities come to the aid of these beleaguered Christians? I wouldn’t count on it…

      As a Muslim who knows that his head is attached to his torso via his neck, I, like you, wouldn’t count on him forcing the issue.

      But, …

    False teachers….. teaching that allah is god and muhammad is his prophet. Prophet alright….. Prophet straight from the pit of hell.

    “But false teachers are fools—no better than animals. They do whatever they feel like; born only to be caught and killed, they laugh at the terrifying powers of the underworld which they know so little about;[*] and they will be destroyed along with all the demons and powers of hell.”

    2 Peter 2:12

    Of course it does. And it has the rank of International Law. Have a look at this Convention.
