Egypt: Muslim stabs Christian surgeon to death

Jan 17, 2017 9:41 am By Robert Spencer

“A few days earlier, on 5 January, security forces discovered the bodies of a Coptic couple, Gamal Sami Guirguis and Nadia Amin Guirguis, stabbed to death in their home as they slept, in Monufia Governorate, northern Egypt, about 85 km from the Egyptian capital.”

The Muslim killers may consider their Christian victims kuffar harbi, infidels at war with Islam and thus fair game to be killed, for opposing the short-lived Muslim Brotherhood government in Egypt.

“Fear grows among Egypt’s Christians after a Coptic doctor was stabbed in the throat,” by Loula Lahham, Asia News, January 16, 2017:

Cairo (AsiaNews) – In the past two weeks, several Copts have been murdered in Egypt. Even before the dust settled over the murder of a Coptic merchant in Alexandria (220 km north of Cairo) on 3 January, Egyptian security forces found the body of a Coptic doctor killed last Friday at his home, stabbed in the throat.

Dr Bassam Safouat Zaki was general surgeon in Asyut (370 km south of Cairo). Initial findings indicate that he was stabbed in the neck, chest and back and bled to death through his mouth, nose and ears.

A few days earlier, on 5 January, security forces discovered the bodies of a Coptic couple, Gamal Sami Guirguis and Nadia Amin Guirguis, stabbed to death in their home as they slept, in Monufia Governorate, northern Egypt, about 85 km from the Egyptian capital….

Two days earlier, an Alexandria merchant had his throat cut by an alleged Islamist in the middle of the street in front of passers-by and residents of his neighbourhood. As he stabbed Youssef Lamaei, the attacker shouted “Allah Akbar”. During his interrogation, he said “I told him several times not to sell the alcohol, but he did not listen to me”.

These three attacks come only a month after the suicide bomber blew himself up on 11 December against the Church of SS Peter and Paul (El-Botroseya), which is located next to see of the Coptic Orthodox Patriarchate in Cairo. Some 29 people were killed, and dozens wounded.

“Every time I go out, I am afraid of being the next victim,” said Adel Ishak, a 30-year-old accountant who knew three of the victims of the December attack….

    Satan likes it when his victims are full of fear.

      They say fear of god is the key to wisdom.

        It is also said that perfect love casts out fear
        and that death is swallowed up in victory.

    Very reminiscent of the “stabbing intifada” that has been a feature of life here in central Israel for the last 18 months: you end up looking behind you all the time, checking no one comes too close. Maybe the MB is the common inspiration for this infernal cruelty, acting here via Hamas.

        It isn’t the “Muslim Brotherhood” that is the common inspiration for the infernal cruelty.

        It is ISLAM, plain and simple, from which that infernal cruelty arises.

        And here’s the rub: once you *know* what is in the core texts of Islam, once you know how a whole lot of Muslims have historically behaved toward non-Muslims… how *can* you ever quite be sure that any given Muslim will *not* suddenly Go Jihad on you?

        You *can’t*.

        It’s exactly like being the spouse or child of a domestic abuser, if you are a kuffar living in a country with *either* a Muslim majority *or* a large and confident Muslim minority. You get conned into walking on eggshells, because you can never be sure what will ‘set them off’… what you have to get is that it isn’t *anything* that ‘sets them off’… all the claimed ‘triggers’ and ‘grievances’ (like the dinner the beaten wife didn’t cook just right) are a smokescreen for the ugly reality… the Ummah intends to dominate, and the Ummah intends to have fun doing horrible things to you, because, well, the Ummah feels *entitled* to do those horrible things and the Ummah *enjoys* doing them.

    An iron curtain between Muslim and non-Muslim countries would be welcome.

    “Two days earlier, an Alexandria merchant had his throat cut by an alleged Islamist in the middle of the street in front of passers-by and residents of his neighbourhood.”

    We had an incident that seems much the same–random hit, throat sliced; of course we know, here in the US of A, Muslims care little of the tenets of their “religion,” thus know little, much less practice any of the said tenets.

    If the did care of the said tenets, then, here in our nation we would have mosque that preach and teach those tenets, madrassas likewise, thus “believers” who, because they are just that, perform accordingly.

    Egypt: Muslim stabs Christian surgeon to death
    ……………………

    This poor man–and all the other victims in this article.

    Those who believe that al-Sisi will somehow protect Christians in Egypt are, I’m afraid, quite mistaken.

      Now: imagine living with this possibility, every hour of every day of every year, generation after generation, for *centuries*.

      *That* is what Dhimmitude is all about. Because no matter *how* perfectly and absolutely submissive dhimmis are, even if they observe all the rules, even if they pay the exorbitant and crippling jizya, they are *still* at the absolute mercy of some mohammedan’s lust-to-kill, programmed into him by the Religion of Murder and Lies.

      At *any* moment the lie will be shrieked at them, and the muslim murderer, or murderous Muslim mob, will be let loose upon them.

      And of course, even when everyone becomes Muslim, it doesn’t make any difference, because there is *always someone somewhere who is More Islamic Than Thou, and who if they take a scunner at you, can easily activate the License to Kill. Especially if you’re a woman.
