US embassy in Cairo warns its citizens to avoid “identifiable places of worship”

Apr 12, 2017 9:22 am By Robert Spencer

Grow a spine, US embassy in Cairo. American citizens have no need to avoid mosques in Cairo. No one is going to set off a bomb in any of them. The threat is to churches, and to Egypt’s Christians, and you know that full well, but don’t dare to state it clearly, for fear of being accused of “Islamophobia.”

“US embassy in Cairo warns its citizens to avoid identifiable places of worship,” by Ola Noureldin, Egypt Independent, April 12, 2017:

The US Embassy in Cairo issued a security alert to US citizens on Tuesday, indicating that they should avoid identifiable places of worship for the next two weeks following recent terrorist attacks on Palm Sunday that targeted churches in Alexandria and Tanta and left at least 45 people dead and over 100 injured.

These attacks signified one of the deadliest days of violence against Christians in Egypt in years, which led President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to promptly declare a three-month state of emergency, saying the measure was necessary to efficiently wage war on terror.

On Tuesday, a statement from the US Embassy in Cairo warned its citizens to “maintain a heightened state of alert, avoiding crowds and public gatherings at all times while in Egypt.”…

    NEW NORMAL: Avoid crowds. That means shopping centers, bus stations, subways, bus stops, busy restaurants, churches.

    Stay in your homes and let the ISLAMIC terrorists take over. Don’t speak out, don’t defend yourself.

    Don’t be ‘Islamophobic’.

    (sarc/off)

    Muslims must be deprogrammed right out of Islam. It’s the only solution to Islamic terrorism, because Islam is immune to reform.

      Avoid going to discotheques, parties, holy week processions, concerts …. avoid anything non-Islamic.
      Muslims are sad and unhappy and want the rest of the world to be like them. .. and they are getting it.

    “Muslims must be deprogrammed right out of Islam. It’s the only solution to Islamic terrorism, because Islam is immune to reform.”

    Absolutely right.

    Stop going to church really while muslims get to have their prayers etc. We Christians are suppose to hide that is wrong on all levels. Islam is the enemy not Christians

      go to church. live life. LIVE life. to run and hide? no. carry a gun if you can. be prepared.

      to live in the Middle East as a non-Muslim … I don’t know that I’d want to do that.

      thanks to Robert, Pamela Geller, thereligionofpeace.com, and so many more who continue to education, inform, and sound the alarm … the people are waking up.

      there is a war going on. one side is firmly committed and attacking. i have faith that when it comes down to it, we will fight harder and longer and more passionately for freedom, than those who will fight for death.

        Wish I could agree with you, Michael, but Europeans don’t believe in anything anymore. The effete, “relativist” young of Europe are no match for ruthless Islamists. With the help of the demographics, in 20 years Europe will be a walk-over for Islam, with few shots being fired.

        • Michael says

          Unfortunately, I agree, Rufolino.

          I wonder if it’ll take that long. Astounding how such a small group can impose its will on the vast majority. Maybe it’s just what happens to civilizations when they reach a certain point.

          They get to a place where they enjoy the benefits of what took centuries, really, to build. They stop caring, paying attention, and just want to relax and enjoy. Of course, someone else is always wanting what they have. And the defenses, the alerts to threats, the strength and courage it took to build it all in the first place, it’s gone.

          We build a huge military, here in the U.S. But it’s no substitute for the real strength and courage and wits it will take to defeat Islam. That’s become obvious to a few. I hope those traits are here. We’ll find out soon enough.

          All very bizarre to me. The only shots fired in England will likely be those from Muslim weapons. And they won’t have to fire many.

    A *citizen* may be able to avoid going places. A Christian…the target of islam at churches, on the street, in their places of businesses, on a train, etc….must be a Christian 04 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365+ days a year.
    If God and His Son, Christ Jesus command Christians to “gather” in worship, that is a **command** that must be obeyed if at all possible.
    The Bible says that “fear of man is a trap”…a trap laid by satan the devil, whose children are creating fear wherever they have infiltrated.

    If Christians allow fear to make them avoid being obedient to God, the devil wins.
    If Christians obey and moslims slaughter them, Christians win…even if they are slaughtered. Christians understand this fact.

      Error: 24 hours a day…not 04.

    Don’t go to these countries in the first place. Demand the US withdraw its Ambassador until the Christian community is safeguarded as they actually are supposed to be under Islam, people of the book protection and such. Next time Egypt has something to say about Israel, tell them to worry the murder of Christians and leave off their crocodile tears over the professional refugees.

    The linked-to article by Ola Noureldin does not quote anything from the U.S. Embassy saying that U.S. citizens should avoid “identifiable places of worship”; this wording is a characterization by Noureldin. Did the U.S. Embassy statement use this wording, and avoid the word “mosque”? The reader would know if Noureldin actually quoted it. An elementary Journalism 101 failure.

      yes, mark, this comes from https://eg.usembassy.gov/sm-041117/ “In light of recent terrorist attacks targeting religious institutions …..U.S. Mission personnel have been advised to avoid identifiable places of worship for the next two weeks.”

    Apr 13, 2017 at 12:48 am

    They are really saying avoid churches on one of the holiest days. If you do that the terrorists win.

    Apparently, we can “carry on” as usual and accept the jihad murders as just a part of normal life (like the Copts of Egypt); or we can hide and live like little animals who poke their heads out of their burrows to make sure the predators aren’t around before venturing out to forage for food.

    But we must NEVER, NEVER even think about actively defending ourselves and expelling the source of the threat from our lands!

    POLITICAL CORRECTNESS KILLS!

    The only peaceful solution for the Middle East is what happened to Yugoslavia: a divorce between all the warring parties and the creation of many independent states based on religion or tribe: we need to see an independent Kurdistan, Yazidiland, Coptic State of Sinai, Assadland, Druzeland, Shia Syria, Christian Maroniteland, Sunni Syria, Shia Iraq and Sunni Iraq. Though it will increase the number of Arab votes at the UN, it is the only way to stop the bloodshed. Arab culture is not conducive to a multicultural democratic state – the Koran gives the Muslims a permanent Holy Licence to Kill and subdue infidels.

    Muslims just being Muslims. Hate, attack, terrorize and kill “the enemies of Allah,” whoever knows of Islam yet refuses to accept and embrace it. Jew, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist are enemies of Allah. Gays are his enemy. Flirtatious women are his enemy. Apostates are his enemy. Blasphemers are his enemy. Sunnis hate Shia and Shia hate Sunni. Both hate Ahmadi and Sufis. Wahabbis hate everyone and everything, even music and bright colors. And it won’t change or reform because it is scripture and doctrine. Islam is a psychopathy and a sociopathic cult. There is no chance for a peaceful planet until Islam is crushed completely. Good people owe that to the world.
