Egypt: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” cuts Christian shopkeeper’s throat

Jan 6, 2017 4:37 pm By Robert Spencer

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)

“Egyptian Christian Shopkeeper Murdered In Suspected Sectarian Attack,” by Mark Woods, Christian Today, January 5, 2017:

A Christian shopkeeper has been murdered in the Egyptian city of Alexandria in a suspected sectarian killing.

According to International Christian Concern (ICC), Youssef Lamei was smoking a pipe outside his shop in the popular Montazah district when the man accused of the murder, reportedly a 48-year-old hard-line Salafist, yelled “Allah Akbar” and cut Lamei’s throat. Police arrested the suspect early on Wednesday morning.

Lamei’s brother Nasef told ICC: “The killing of my brother was planned and carried out accurately as the killer visited the shop many times before committing the crime and knew that my brother used to sit in this place.”

He said Lamei was known as a peaceful man who agreed to close his shop for the whole month of Ramadan so as not to offend his neighbours. He was even known to close his shop during the five daily Muslim prayers.

“He would obey them to prevent any trouble from occurring,” Nasef told ICC.

Lamei’s son was inside the shop when his father was killed.

“I’m grieving for the loss of my father; he was slain in front of my sight,” Tony Youssef told ICC. “I’m sad that we live in a country that doesn’t have the security and safety… He was my father, friend, everything sweet in my life.”…

    So much for religion of Peace. I agree, a ban on the evils of the Quran. How did so many people get so brainwashed? Sad to say, if these horrible terrorists acts keep happening in the name of Allah, a civil war will overtake Europe. A fight to the finish.

      Ava, there is such a long history of Muslims killing the Christians in Egypt that it just is a way of life for those poor folks.. Knowing many Coptic Christians, one of the oldest Christian sects, and they are very good people who practice their faith no matter what.
      Let this whole story be a lesson, this man went by Islamic laws as far as running his business, and yet the savage pigs target him for death.. LESSON, you can not make them happy. They will kill you eventually .

    As one of the Hindu commentators here noted, they are capable of living as peaceable neighbors for 20 years, then murder you in the 21st year. No amount of respect or appeasement is enough because you are still guilty of not being a Muslim.

    Do not be lulled by temporary tolerance – they are forbidden by Allah to ever be a trustworthy partner or friend.

    News from the US – for a change
    =========================.

    Perhaps more of interest to Euro participants than Ameris.

    The-raisin head is releasing Guantanamo prisoners.

    Four went already to Saudi Arabia, also the Yemenites Salem Ahmed Hadi, Mohammed Ghanim, Mohammed Bawazir und Abdullah al Shabli are following, recent.

    He wants to release 18 more, asap. According to PI-News this has high priority for the president. There are 59 prisoners left, and the-raisin head wants to reduce that to 26 before Jan 20.

    Doesn’t that make you feel good? Sarc off. If you speak German got to PI-News.net

    Also there are four videos about the Florida air port shooting.

    Link http://www.pi-news.net/2017/01/florida-mindestens-5-tote-nach-schussattentat/#more-549706

    You don’t have to speak German for that. I mention it in here because I haven’t seen any reporting on it on JW. Police doesn’t know the motive. The shooter has been arrested, he is one Esteban Santiago (26), he carried a military ID. Fort Lauderdale anyone?

    It is often enough that saying the truth is not the most comfortable thing to do. However, when choosing comfort and honesty, the choice should be easy.
    I don’t feel sorry for the christians in Egypt. Since time immemorial they cooperated and often lead moslems against the jews. The irony, of cause, that the very first christians in Egypt were jews.
    At the time, when some of the christian churches in the west made attempts, as weak as they are, to distant themselves from the anti-semitic teachings, coptic church remains the same.
    John Chrisostom, which is very popular in Egypt even now, wrote that the jews are only good for slaughter. Christians were in the front line in many pogroms in Egypt and supported with great enthusiasm expulsion of jews in the 50s. They were ones, who robed jewsh properties. There are testimonies from the jews that the influx of christians from Syria and Lebanon reflected in even worst anti-semitism in Egypt.
    Even today they are seeking the way to the “moslem heart” by proving their hatered for the jews and on that ground will cooperate with moslems.
    I hope for many more more wars in the ME. No victory to any side and for as long as possible. Killing christians in the ME has 2 positive outcomes: moslems expose to the world their savagery and the anti-semites get what they deserve.

      You may care nothing for the Christian victims of Islam–do you think Muslims will spare you if they gain power wherever you are?

      I don’t relish this poor man’s death, nor assume that he secretly have been a bad guy and have “deserved” having his throat cut. This is how Muslims treat *all* Infidels.

        Jan 7, 2017 at 6:05 am

        Agreed!
        If all @Pong says is true re Christian ‘sucking up’ to gain favor from muslims (?)– what has that to do with the horror inflicted on THIS Christian? Has he himself been accused of antisemitism? If so, I doubt that was a reason for this savagery. He was not killed by any lover of Judaism.
        Resembles blaming all alive- slaveholder or not- during the time of American slavery; and ALL their ancestors of a certain skin color for that sin, as has been done ever since by some.

        No. I don’t thing moslems will spare my life, if they have a chance. As much as I despise them, I despise even more those non-moslems, who appease moslems and put lives of my family and friends in danger, being them christians, atheist, buddhists or jews. I do care for those lives, whom I don’t know personally (you and many supporters of JW included).
        If you noticed, I was referring to the christians of ME. Evangelicals in US understand the danger of islam and I look at them as being friends and allies.
        I also understand that people are different and exceptions from the rules are possible, but besides personal responsibilities there is a collective one. Moslems have had no greater supporters then coptic christians. Those were the words of their pope. Do you really expect me to feel sorry for any of them?

    Egypt: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” cuts Christian shopkeeper’s throat
    ………………………….

    Damn barbarian.

    It didn’t matter how much respect the victim showed Islam; he was still Halal to be murdered.

    God, I hate Islam.

    Islam’s “book” describes what its faithful must do when meeting with a non-Muslim. Their koran commands those who come under its influence. Coptic Christians of Egypt, possibly in Egypt as a religion before Islam arrived, now have the misfortune of encountering Muslim fanatics in the process of each day.

    The Egyptian Christians have become “the hunted” because Islam has declared them, as non-Muslims, targets and victims of Muslims who are to obey the orders of their koran.
    How else can Muslim fanaticism be judged except as insanely murderous? They are ordered to murder when discovering a suitable victim, which usually would be an unsuspecting, innocent victim. As the victim here was described,,just sitting by his shop as he was known to do, and not expecting an attack that would take his life from a man he probably had seen many times before.

    This is Islam, yet that religion is explained by Muslims as “the religion of peace.” If this is “peace,” then a better condition is to be prepared to deal with them in a state of war. They leave no alternative for Christians whose lives are at least as sacred if not more sacred as Muslims think their lives are.
    A better alternative would be if Islam would revise such orders, instead of encouraging Muslims, probably with productive futures and families of their own to LIVE FOR, to stop obeying instructions to murder those of other faiths. Absent that, the alternatives are dreary for non-Muslims and Muslims alike, plus Muslims need to be separated from non-Muslims, since Islam appears to be the only religion that has no respect for any other religion. In this case, the EU is as guilty as Islam for allowing the multiculturalism which has made immigration of Muslims not an act of progress, but a criminal enterprise.

    @ Fred

    “we are being destroyed from within”
    Yes
    Time to go within and give them merry hell.
    Group processes may multiply the power. “When 2 or more are gathered” and all that, and in what is the thing.
    The Muslims do it emmasse. Their energy is low yellow, but there’s a lot of it.
    It’s conceivable, nothing to lose, small beginnings and all that.
    Grasping at straws?
    Get enough straws, you never know.

    He said Lamei was known as a peaceful man who agreed to close his shop for the whole month of Ramadan so as not to offend his neighbours. He was even known to close his shop during the five daily Muslim prayers.

    “He would obey them to prevent any trouble from occurring,” Nasef told ICC.

    And that meant nothing in the end. This should be a lesson for those governments naively wanting to help muslim “refugees”, but sadly, it won’t.
