More on this story: A Muslim man crept up behind a Christian man and slit his throat, killing him in Alexandria, Egypt, on the evening of January 3.
Adel Suleiman, 48, the Muslim man who committed the murder, did so because his Christian victim, 45-year-old Joseph Lam‘i, owned a shop that sold alcohol, which the murderer deemed “contrary to the shar‘ia [Islamic law] and the religion [Islam],” according to an Arabic language investigative report.
A surveillance video captures the moment of the attack. The Coptic shop owner can be seen sitting in a chair right outside his shop. Then a bearded man appears casually walking along in the background. He stops behind the seated Christian, pulls his head back, and very forcefully and deliberately slits his throat. The Copt instinctively jumps up and away from his assassin, though he quickly succumbed to his wounds by bleeding to death.
According to a preliminary investigation by the national security department of Egypt, “The accused was not prompted by any political or criminal motives but had embraced takfiri [“radical”] thinking four years ago.”
What is clear is that the assassin is a Salafi, one of those Muslims who closely follow the lifestyle and teachings of Muslim prophet Muhammad and his original companions. Both his appearance (the traditional Salafi beard with clipped mustache) and his actions (“defending” Islam from the “corrupting” influences of “infidels”) testify to this fact.

Mohammedans and Christians get along like wolves and lambs.
Westman says
The “religion of peace” will never live up to that moniker because Muslims are commanded to be intolerant.
The Quran absolutely denies that Muslims should be tolerant by reiterating in many passages that Muslims should be forbidding others for doing anything Allah forbids. An example:
“You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and FORBID what is wrong…” – Q 3:110
This is why Muslims have morality police in the EU that feel obligated to stick their noses in the infidel’s business. Imagine what they would do if Sharia was the law of Europe.
The next time someone claims that Islam is tolerant, quote this and the other Quranic “forbidding” passages( simply search the Quran for “forbid what is wrong”). It is even in the oath of the Muslim Students Association on campuses. Perhaps this “tolerance” is why US campus liberals love the MSA – they can enjoy tearing down the USA together.

It’s getting closer. Alexandria used to be the Paris of the Middle East, a pearl in the desert.

A close friend of mine visited Alexandria four years ago, and he told that he was shocked and surprised that around 97% of the women were wearing hijab and of that no. around another 60% were wearing the niqab, covered all in black, whose eyes were even hard to see!
He assumed that he other women who were not wearing hijab must be the Copts. He tested his assumption and found it not surprisingly correct!

It doesn’t look like a “surveillance video”.

Poor man… 🙁

This story is extremely distressing. Yet, it gets less press in the USA than someone accused of pulling the hijab off a moslem woman! Our government and some media outlets have been remiss in discussing the evil that exists in islam. I quit watching CNN because they censored islam, or reported moslem crimes as extremism. Islam is extremist, and I pray the West, is soon awakened to that.

S 9:14 gives individual Muslims the right to take the law into their own hands, in the name of Allah:
“Fight them, and Allah will punish them by YOUR hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers. [Ali]
UNCLE VLADDI says
He should be executed for murder. Sharia law allows non-muslims in muslim lands to buy, sell, and consume alcohol, (and pork products) and it even allows muslims to invest in such infidel’s businesses (but not to consume it them selves)!
