They were screaming “Allahu akbar” because as far as they were concerned, they were performing a pious action. The intention was to humiliate not just this 70-year-old woman, but the Christians in general, in accord with Qur’anic imperatives regarding the People of the Book:
“Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful, and who do not adopt the religion of truth, even the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission while they are humbled.” (Qur’an 9:29)
“They have been put under humiliation wherever they are overtaken, except for a covenant from Allah and a rope from the Muslims.” (Qur’an 3:112)
An update on this story. “What Egyptian President Tells 70-Year-Old Christian Woman Stripped Naked by Muslim Mob Might Annoy You Just a Little,” by Carly Hoilman, The Blaze, June 1, 2016:
Egypt’s president has promised to prosecute an armed Muslim mob that burned down the homes of Christians in the Minya province May 20. The attack came after that same group accused a Christian man of having an affair with a Muslim woman earlier last month, the Associated Press reported at the time.
Though the accused man was believed to have fled the country with his wife and children May 19, remaining Christian family members have faced extreme persecution in his absence. In addition to the fire, the mob also stripped the man’s 70-year-old Christian mother naked after dragging her out of her home.
The hashtag “#EgyptStrippedNaked” took off on social media last week shortly after it was introduced.
Although hundreds of Muslims participated in the May 20 attack, only six people were arrested, the AP reported.
According to Ahram Online, Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said Monday during a speech in Cairo that those responsible for what happened to the 70-year-old Christian woman and the homes burned to the ground in Minya will be held responsible.
“When I address my speech to this woman, I don’t say this [Christian] Egyptian because we are all one,” el-Sisi was quoted as saying. “I call on this woman not to be angered by what happened.”…
Anba Makarios, Minya’s top Christian cleric, told a talk show host on the private Dream TV network last week that, after the mob stripped the 70-year-old mother and grandmother naked, they forced her to walk through the streets naked as they chanted “Allahu Akbar,” or “God is great.”
The woman waited five days to report the incident to the police, Makarios said, adding that she had initially found it too difficult to “swallow the humiliation” she suffered and notify authorities….

Muslims doing what they do best: Like father, like son…..
“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:44

@Gary
The perfect biblical reference to Allah. A liar and a murderer.

The relevant verse here is the following:
“Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “Whosoever among you sees an act of wrong should change it with his hands.” – from 40 Hadiths of an-Nawawi, No.34
The Egyptian mob was acting on the authority of this verse.

God is great indeed, but NOT their satanic allah!

Didn’t the Nazi’s use to do the same thing to Jewish women in “The Camps”. Just another way of dehumanizing them. I guess that is why Mark Levin, and others call them IslamoNazi’s?

Egypt: Muslims who stripped and paraded Christian woman were screaming “Allahu akbar”
…………………………..
Of course they were. What is more indicative of the “greatness” of the vile Islamic deity than terrifying and humiliating an elderly lady?
Also note the Muslim concept of collective guilt: it is this lady’s son who is rumored to have run afoul of Shari’ah law for liking a Muslim woman. But then, there may be nothing to this, either.
And yes–this is intended to both punish and threaten the entire Christian community.

…………………………..
And why should she be–publicly, at least? Under Islamic law no Infidel is allowed to express anger or even complain of Muslim savagery.
And recall: as horrific as all this is, it would likely be *much worse* for Christians if the vicious Muslim Brotherhood had remained in power in Egypt. Under Al Sisi, this is what “moderate” Islam looks like. Still pretty damned ugly…

We support and congratulate Bishop @AnbaMacarius on his firm rejection of Arab style ‘reconciliation sessions’. #Egyptstrippednaked
For those not familiar, “reconciliation sessions’ are often a sick joke–the Infidel victims get to complain of their treatment, often with the Muslims openly sneering at them. They agree not to pursue the issue further, which means there is usually no prosecution. Sometimes the victimizers further abuse those wronged for having had the temerity for coming forward. As you can imagine, prosecution of such further retaliation is even rarer.
Angemon says
We’ll see how that turns out.

These sort of things happen in south of Egypt and the extremist Muslims are usually from tribal background who do these sort of acts. Even Muslims can can fight with each other in rural Egypt on the basis of coming from a different tribe. Egypt is a corrupt country that’s all I can say.
Lizzy says
How different are the attitudes between islamics and Westerners. The man is believed to have fled the country with his wife and children so, in his absence, his mother was stripped and paraded naked in the streets.
In the UK when any Islamic is accused and found guilty of crime, however heinous, the police up their numbers in the criminal’s neighbourhood with reassurance in case of backlash which, incidentally, never happens. The indigenous are too afraid to start any fight with islamics.

Those Egyptian indigenuous (simply Christian) people that predate Egypt’s moslems (of Arabian desert parentage) are aliens in their own country. What a most saddening fact!!!!!
If Moslem Brotherhood-linked Mursi were still in the islamized country’s president, the worst case scenario would be the poor old lady would have been lynched to death.
Amir Dewana says
Sorry. Rectification.
The above should be verily read:
……. were still the islamized country’s president, …….and so on ….

El Sisi is unable to reform Sharia law. Al Azhar University is unable to reform Sharia law. Since Islam cannot be reformed, the only recourse for a thinking Muslim is to leave Islam.
mortimer says
Would el Sisi ask Muslims not to be angered if atheists or Christians had dragged a nude Muslim women through the streets…or would that be time for a lynch mob of Muslims? No. He certainly would not.
The double standards of Muslims in Egypt have not changed and cannot change because of Sharia law. Vigilantism is normative Islam, rather than an aberration. Dhimmis have no rights, but only privileges that may be removed by a Muslim mob acting in its own name and the name of Islam. Sharia law doesn’t punish crimes against ‘others’ with severity. El-Sisi knows that. That’s why he has basically told the offended family to shut up.
Christians in Egypt can be attacked by mobs at any time and the government will tell the victims to shut up.
That’s life with Muslims: justice is upside down with Muslims. They are thugs whenever they are in a group.
Purushottam Deshmukh says
The most forceful condemnation of this extremely uncivilized act should have come from the Head of Al-Azhar. I am not a Christian, but my instincts since the commitment of this heinous crime have been urging me to request Pope Frances making (Him?) cordially inviting those Egyptian Savages to the Vatican, washing their feet and gulping that water down his throaat to add ‘more good’ to his fallen lot and bringing to his eyes tears of an unspoken confession.
The fanatic mob stripped naked a seventy years old woman and was screeching ‘Allah-Hu-Akbar.” It is not in anybody’s hands what fold to be born in. This woman is a mother to all the non-believers across the globe. United we should condemn it. It seems the Islamist Fanatics are unashamed in watching private parts of motherly figures. What a horrible world to live in!

According to one prominent US Senator, Allahu Akbar means, ‘God bless you’…The last thing kuffar need is to be blessed by Allah…

Poor Muslims
So sad,
Muslims just don’t feel (fully alive) without cruelly torturing others.
That is how they hide the feelings of Islam’s emptiness deep inside.
Purushottam Deshmukh says
Jay Boo,
A perfect observation!
Heather says
If a person knew what islam truly is, they would only convert to it, if they were a sadist. There is no love, there is no forgiveness, there is no peace. It is a nothing. Like all cults, the leaders demand you worship them, as did noHamMad. A fatal disease could wipe them all out.
