In a recent Islamic State video, “the narrator goes on to say that Christians were no longer ‘Dhimmis’ – a term used in Islam in reference to non-Muslims who enjoy a degree of state protection. Instead, the group describes Egyptian Christians as ‘infidels who are empowering the West against Muslim nations.’”
This is Islamic law: Christians and other “People of the Book” may enjoy the “protection” of the Islamic state if they submit, pay the jizya, and accept other humiliating and discriminatory regulations designed to ensure that they “feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29). But if they violate this contract of “protection,” they are kuffar harbi, infidels at war with Islam, and their lives are forfeit.
“ISIS militants gun down another Christian in Egypt,” Associated Press, February 24, 2017:
EL-ARISH, Egypt — Suspected Islamic militants gunned down a Coptic Christian inside his home in northern Sinai, the sixth such killing in a month’s time in the restive region, officials said Friday, prompting some Christian families to flee from the area for fear of being targeted next.
The militants stormed the home of Kamel Youssef, a plumber, on Thursday and shot him to death in front of his wife and children in the town of el-Arish, said two officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters.
No militant group has claimed responsibility for the attack but earlier this week, Egypt’s Islamic State affiliate, which is based in the Sinai Peninsula, vowed in a video to step up attacks against the embattled Christian minority.
A spate of killings by suspected militants has spread fears among the Coptic community in el-Arish as families left their homes after reportedly receiving threats on their cellphones.
A day before Youssef’s killings, militants killed a Coptic Christian man and burned his son alive, then dumped their bodies on a roadside in el-Arish. Three others Christians in Sinai were killed earlier, either in drive-by shootings or with militants storming their homes and shops.
The Coptic Christian Church has made no official comment on the spate of killings.
Coptic Christians, who make up 10 percent of Egypt’s population, have increasingly come under attack since the military’s overthrow of elected Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in 2013. A top target of Islamic extremists throughout the years, the Christians heavily supported the army chief-turned-president, Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, and his security crackdown on Islamists since Morsi’s removal….

This is all about the “no fear” and “peace” the lying evilman claimed in D.C.
May the True God give these murderers everything they deserve and do so quickly.

The only ones, “..empowering the West against Muslim nations.’” Are the Muslims, themselves!!

Hah, so the Copts have entered the house of war hmm?
They have to be one of the least likely groups to break Dhimmihood and fight the caliphate. So much for excuses (for this doctrine), if they are not protected no one is.
Somebody says
Muslims will stop when there is no christian left (look at saudi arabia). Then they start killing each other. ( I am sorry but saudis are best friends of USA)

Oh, for f***’s sake. Why is the ousting of Morsi always portrayed as a power-grab by the military? More Egyptians protested against Morsi than against Mubarak. The military did what they needed to do in order to restore order in the country. El-Sisi is in power because he won the election. “Army chief-turned-president”? Try “former military elected President”.

the only thing these animals know is killing. Their day will come and GOD may not have mercy on them.
