Egypt: Jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber carried out attack in Cairo cathedral, four jihad plotters arrested

Dec 12, 2016 8:48 am By Robert Spencer

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)

“Egypt’s Sisi says suicide bomber behind church attack, four captured,” Reuters, December 12, 2016:

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Monday that a suicide bomber carried out an attack that killed 24 people at Cairo’s main cathedral and security forces had arrested three men and a woman in connection with the bombing.

Speaking at a state funeral for the victims, Sisi identified the suicide bomber as 22-year-old Shafik Mahmoud Mohamed Mostafa. He said security forces were seeking another two fugitives believed to be involved in the attack….

    What a travesty. What an atrocious crime against humanity. Another example of moslems bein’ moslems.

    I spoke with a Muslim a couple of hours ago about this attack. According to his opinion the attack has been planned by the mosad to divide the Egyptian society. These Muslims will never change, he also denies that the Copts are mistreated by Muslims. He says that Christians are few and respected. He says that Christians are few and respected that if Muslims truly wanted they could kill them all and that it is not so. That is what the Muslims understand for coexistence and respect: “As I do not kill you I am respecting you .. until I kill you ” .Is incredible .

      What you have been told is typical Muslim deceit, paranoia over Israel and flawed logic. Statements like this (from that Muslim couple) will be fully accepted as truth throughout the Islamic world as well as their sympathisers in the West.

        Its the same that the WTC attacks were perpetrated by the US Governement against their own people to vilify Islam.
        Countless muslims believe this lie and swear by the Koran that it is the truth

    This is a case of Mohammedans practising their religion. Sacrificing non-Mohammedans to their god Allah.

    But we mustn’t complain about Islam – that would be “bigoted” and “Islamophobic”!

    Some time ago when the world witnessed the wholesale destruction of ancient monuments by Muslims in Syria and other parts of the Middle East there actually was a muted response and condemnation from the intelligentsia. No serious criticism of Islam mind you.

    But St Marks Cathedral in Cairo Bombed, serious loss of life (Christians) I don’t think this story has even made the news here in Oz. Yes, we have had full coverage of the sports stadium bombing in Turkey but not the Cathedral outrage. (Someone correct me if I am wrong.)

      DJ, this story was covered in The Australian:

    Egypt: Jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber carried out attack in Cairo cathedral, four jihad plotters arrested
    …………………………

    I’m just surprised anyone was actually arrested for this atrocity.

    A few years ago, I spoke to a Copt who had fled Egypt after his church was attacked and parishioners shot as they tried to escape. His father and two other relatives were killed. So what has changed? Absolutely nothing! The jihadists are still killing kafirs wherever they find them – and they will continue their attacks as long as their ideology exists.

    “Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah (discord) and [until] worship is [acknowledged to be] for Allah. But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors (those who continue to oppose Islam).” (Quran 2:193). NB: To Muslims, the word ‘oppressors’ doesn’t mean those who are attempting to impose Islam on the people, but those who oppose that imposition.

    “So let those fight in the cause of Allah (jihad) who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. And he who fights in the cause of Allah and is killed or achieves victory – We will bestow upon him a great reward [Paradise].” (Quran 4:74).

    As long as Islam preaches those violent commandments, they will incite future young Muslim hotheads to attack non-Muslims – simply because they are ‘unbelievers’ – and that’s the way their Prophet behaved. How stupid are we to allow this criminal ideology a free pass in Western countries?

    We have a simple choice: Ban Islam; Or continue to suffer its wrath.

    Islam has no place in a civilized society.

    Once again, not a word of condemnation – as far as I know – from the pope or the UN. Maybe they don’t read?

    The grand mufti condemns the attack and says it’s against sharia… http://edition.cnn.com/2016/12/11/middleeast/egypt-coptic-church/
    what a joke. Obviously all the church attacking terrorists don’t interpret sharia the same way. And for some weird reason nobody has been telling them that they are interpreting it wrong. Something tells me the grand mufti is not so convinced either. He is quick to declare that it isn’t islam’s fault, it’s against sharia. Well, I don’t believe him. It is just to say “it is not islam’s fault.” Incorrect! It IS is islam’t fault.
    And if there are a great many muslims who are peaceful and just, it is not because islam taught them that. I am happy for them, but I am not happy for islam.
