The Salafis of Egypt—those Muslims who strive to live according to the literal example of prophet Muhammad and his companions—are angry. But it’s not because groups like ISIS are “hijacking” their religion and committing atrocities in its name. Rather it’s because a sign by Egypt’s premiere Salafi party, the “Salafi Call,” appeared welcoming Coptic Christian Pope Tawadros during his recent visit to Matruh, in north Egypt.
In response, Salafis of all stripes, including on social media, demanded to know how the Salafi Call could do such a thing.
The Call’s vice president, Dr. Yasser Burhami, responded to these allegations during a lesson on Islam he gave. He said “they who did this announced their break from the Salafi Call after their disagreements with us” and do not represent the party: “Leaving the Call has weakened them to the point that they are obliged to welcome what they call the “holy pope.”
Burhami’s desire to distance the Salafi party from any signs of amicability with the head of the Coptic Christian church—a breach of one of Salafism’s most cherished doctrines, al-wala’ wa’l bara’—is unsurprising.
After all, Burhami is on record saying that although a Muslim man may marry non-Muslim women, specifically Christians and Jews, he must hate them—and show them that he hates them—because they are “infidels” (even as he enjoys them sexually); that Muslim cab and bus drivers should not transport Christian priests to their churches, which he depicted as “more forbidden than taking someone to a liquor bar”; and 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.”

I know why these salifis and other muslims groups are so violent toward unbelievers and other muslims- they all have frontal lobe damage to their brains plus or minus subdural hematomas from the constant head banging on the ground- see the chronic discoloration from bruising the skin ( their proud zeba) – or they ARE ALL demon possessed by their god- allah ( Satan of the Bible)

Dr. Yasser Burhami, what a magnificent zebibah you have! This is confirmed by the photographs at

Perhaps you spray your prayer-mat with Zebi-Bah-Humbug, which is impregnated with infectious “humbugs” that produce a large inflammation on the forehead, attesting to the user’s piety. Would you be interested in an endorsement deal for this product? With the proper TV advertising campaign, Zebi-Bah-Humbug could become the My Pillow of Islamic prayer accoutrements.

Nope–just good ol’ fashioned head banging and resultant brain damage.
Cretius says
Islam is a fascist totalitarian political system that includes a religion of jihad, bigotry, intolerance, sexism and barbaric cultural practises. Muslims are their own worst enemies. They even kill each other! No one has to lie about Islam. Simply bear witness to the intolerance, bigotry and hatred spread by imams online. Muslims demand respect and rights that they deny to everyone else. This makes them unfit immigrants/refugees to modern western democracies.
Allowing such a poisonous political system/religion in is tantamount to committing national suicide.

Wow, a doughnut zebiba

Whoa, that poor homeless guy in the photo! Not only his beard isn’t washed for God knows how long, someone bashed him in the head as well!

Grimly hilarious, Angemon!

Who’d like to enlarge his zebiba with a sledgehammer??

“It is unbelief (kufr) to hold that the remnant cults now bearing the names of formerly valid religions such as Christianity and Judaism are acceptable….”

“Remnant cults”–i.e., faiths that are to be completely eradicated. And why not? This is what the “Prophet” himself said.

“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him.”

Egypt: Salafis angered by ‘welcome’ for Coptic Christian pope
…………………….
Well, of course. No pious Muslims can show any respect to the “filthy Infidels”. This is mainstream Islam.
