Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Video: Inside the church in Tanta, Egypt right after the jihad bombing

Apr 9, 2017 7:23 am By Robert Spencer

The death toll is now 25, with 50 wounded. As the jihad death toll mounts, so does the obfuscation and censorship of those who tell the truth about jihad.

        Perhaps to our deluded and debased Western political leaders’ ears might get a quicker improvement in matters, as apparently might just be the case in Sweden now – after the damage has been done. I believe that Divine Inspiration takes a bit of time to get through.

    This is PRECISELY what we need to see. No, that’s not correct. We need to see more accurate video, that is, the most severe carnage. There is no other way for we who are ensconced within our supermarket lives to acquire the proper relationship to the true horror.

    Thank you Mr. Spencer.

      It won’t make any dent on the leftist leaders who tell us Islam is a Religion of Peace and things like this are just aberrations done by a ‘few sick individuals who have perverted a great faith’. They will never admit they were wrong on their attitudes on Islam – NEVER

        Do you know that there are 2.2 billion practicing muslims in the world? This is the work of sick individuals that are perverting their faith. If every Muslim was being taught to blow up churches, you wouldn’t be alive to post your small minded comment.

        • scherado says

          Apr 9, 2017 at 4:14 pm

          TO “NICOLE”: Your three sentences added NOTHING to the dilemma, nothing of ANY value to the description of or insight into a putative recourse toward overcoming the murderous strain of Muslims–so-called, no matter the name–who claim to be followers of the so-called, erroneous or factual, prophet Muhammad.

        • gravenimage says

          Apr 9, 2017 at 5:35 pm

          What crap. For one thing, you numbers are grossly inflated–there are about 1.6 billion Muslims, not 2.2 billion.

          And commands to slaughter the Infidels are very much a part of Islam.

          Right now, the command is Fard Kalifa, rather than Fard Ayn–meaning that so long as some pious Muslims are murdering Infidels, this is Halal.

          N,
          They are “practicing” because they are getting ready…like a ball player “practices” before he takes to the field. And like a ball team, some players sit on the bench,… some moslims allow others to do the terror while they cheer and give money and encourage.

          BTW: just when did your ship land here on earth?

        • God's Warrior says

          Apr 9, 2017 at 7:32 pm

          How many Americans are in the military? How many are not?

          Islam is not a geographic country. Its warrior class is spread throughout their population across the world. In one hundred families, maybe one person will have the warrior nature.

          Of course when there are more families, more praise for such ‘heroism’, more likelihood of success and survival, these warriors become more emboldened, like bullies anywhere.

          And so we call it a religion of peace since while we have heavy penalties in our communities for them, we encourage all our rapists and murderers to invade other neighbourhoods to murder/rape/rob/enslave – while we just sit at home and pray in peace.

          So for us it is peaceful, and we don’t really care about anyone else. However, unfortunately our plan has started to backfire of late as our neighbours have become just like us; and are now sending their miscreants to attack us, so it seems no one has peace anymore. It is time to reboot the plan in the West, if we are to find peace again – at least for a while.

          @ Nicole

          Oh, boy. Looks like you came to the wrong website to start spewing your lies!

          “Do you know that there are 2.2 billion practicing muslims in the world? ”

          What does it matter how many there are? What relevance does that have to this slaughter we just viewed in this horrible video?

          “This is the work of sick individuals that are perverting their faith.”

          You LIAR. This is the teaching of Islam and the practice of Mohammad.

          But let’s say that were true. Then where are the majority of those 2.2 billion who don’t do or condone these acts taking to the streets, ALL OVER THE WORLD, and condemning this filth? Where are they?

          Answer me! Do not play your games and ignore me. ANSWER ME. Where are they?

          You hear me and you hear me well. We KNOW what your death cult teaches, okay? And we will NOT submit to it!

          Apr 9, 2017 at 10:16 pm

          First, you have an over-estimate of the number of Muslims.

          Second, opinion polls of Muslims reveal a disturbing level of support for murdering infidels, suicide bombings, ISIS, and the like.

          Third, if you were a Muslima, you’d be told what to wear, with whom you could leave your home, be given a cousin to marry (who had permission to beat you to keep you in line), and likely have been genitally mutilated.

          You’d hope your relatives weren’t criminals, because they might have a hand amputated, or suffer beheading.

          If that’s the life you aspire to, please hurry to Saudi Arabia, Iran, or some other Muslim country. Please don’t expect decent and civilized people to accept the horrors of Muslim “culture” and “religion”.

          Apr 9, 2017 at 10:34 pm

          Most Germans weren’t NAZIS, and communist party members accounted for only 5% of those living under Soviet rule. And that was small comfort for the 100+ million people murdered by the combined evil of both ideologies. Islam is no different, except that it’s been killing, maiming, enslaving and in general making life hell on Earth for over 1,300 years. So, what’s your point again?

          Apr 10, 2017 at 2:43 am

          Actually, Nicole, the Islamic faith has been PERVERTED since the 7th Century–no one is perverting it….

        • TH says

          Apr 10, 2017 at 4:58 am

          First of all, there are not 2.2 billion Muslims in the world. Check out the Pew Research website and you will find out that 33% of young Muslims in France believe that suicide bombing can be justified. Don’t you think that an ever higher percentage would believe in it in places like Pakistan etc.?

        • Gary Olive says

          Apr 10, 2017 at 7:18 pm

          The latest poll figures for Pakistan was that 78% supported the actions of ISIS with 22% opposed. Even if just 10% of muslims were jihadists and that is a conservative estimate, there are 220 million people who want to kill me. Any female who thinks they will have a better life as well under Sharia law and an Islamist society, might I suggest you try living in a muslim majority nation for a year and when you return, put out a national report of your experiences for the rest of us to see.

    Western clergy have to realize that they could be next. Their lives could be taken by the jihadists at any second.

    STOP SINGING KUMBAYA. Islam has a doctrine of WARFARE AGAINST DISBELIEVERS.

    I don’t know but it looks like the sheep and goats are being separated.

    Jesus said anyone not against Him is for Him.
    The “terrorist” was after the altar.

    • Kay says

      Apr 9, 2017 at 11:33 am

      RCH, these bombings are on international news. Are you saying that they are not mentioned in India?

    • somehistory says

      Apr 9, 2017 at 1:47 pm

      RCH,

      You are correct. Jesus was “meek” but not a coward. Meekness does not mean weakness.

      I have a Christian friend in Indonesia. She told me that Christians are allowed to speak to others about Jesus, but not any moslims. Christians are not allowed to speak to moslims about anything religious.
      I do not know the laws or rules in India where you live pertaining to what may be said on television. But, if they are not speaking against islam by their own *choice* then that is clearly wrong.
      God sees the heart. He knows who is doing His will and who is only pretending.

    • Kay says

      Apr 9, 2017 at 5:10 pm

      In response to RCH–
      I don’t understand the Christian silence. It is wrong but Islam is scary. Still we proclaim that we are one Body so it should be to us our own hand, our own lives. I have even less patience for American Christians who are not in danger for their lives. The bombing victims should have been prayed for in every church. It wasn’t mentioned in my church today either. Shameful. But I mentioned it and I prayed.

      Too many righteous Americans think they are being “fair” and “not racist” by ignoring these atrocities.

    • somehistory says

      Apr 9, 2017 at 5:45 pm

      g,
      I have nightmares about these things; one because I am helpless to stop it, can’t do anything to help, and knowing it is getting worse daily. Two, I try to stop reading the accounts, but cannot and each one just adds to the anger, frustration and pain I feel for the innocent victims.
      And in my nightmares, I have some *power* to do something in revenge. Things I would not, could not do, in real life. The stress of it is not good for anyone, but the stress is small compared to the destruction and slaughter islam is inflicting everywhere.

      • gravenimage says

        Apr 9, 2017 at 6:13 pm

        I know how you feel, somehistory. Take “mental health breaks” when you need them–you don’t want to get burned out. We have to be in the fight for the long haul.

        I’m an artist and illustrator, and most of the time I deal in beauty. Besides its savagery, I hate Islam for its ugliness.

        • somehistory says

          Apr 9, 2017 at 10:41 pm

          Thanks, g,
          i too am an artist. I paint in oils, watercolor, oil pastels, and sketch with charcoal and pencil. Sometimes just plain crayons like little children use.
          I take photos of beauty, water, stars, …whatever I can to free my mind of evil things that crowd in on us daily.
          I also am still taking university courses, but not much beauty there as public safety/criminal justice/anit-terror are the major courses.

          My son’s little girl is about to be born, and he is about to graduate from law school. I leave off the thoughts of islam as often as I can and still try to make sure I know what is happening. I do not want to be caught unaware.

          Enjoy the spring time…lots of things to illustrate and paint. 🙂

    We Christians should know what the Lord said about persecutions . He said “if they persecuted me they will also persecute you . ” The best thing to do is focus on the promise of the Lord . He said “I will never leave you nor abandon you . I will be with you till the end of the ages . ” He also said , ” Blessed are you when they persecute you for you have the kingdom of heaven ” .Also remember what he said when He instituted the church , ” Upon this Rock , I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail over it .” Keep praying for in the end , We will all be judged . The Lord sees it all , be strong , take courage , “if God is with us who could be against us?” Another comfort for us Christians , Jesus said ” I am the Ressurrection and the Life , he who believes in me even if he dies will live again .” Be comforted my brothers and sisters , Jesus already won the victory , He is alive , and we will live with Him forever , then there will be no more death , nor persecution , only life everlasting with our Lord and Saviour .

      Actually, some *are* leaving Islam.

      I know of three Egyptians who left Islam and became Christians. Nonie Darwish, Mark Gabriel, and Magdi Cristiano Allam. Those have become notable, because they have written books… books warning naive Westerners about Islam, about Jihad, about the ugliness of the Sharia.

      There would be others, I am sure, less well known.

    They are scared in case the muzzies will go and firebomb them. That is part of Islam also. After all, the Koran orders them to “strike terror into the hearts of infidels” (kuffur). From what I understand, Indian political parties like the Congress pander to Muslims in order to get votes, so India has a similar problem regarding Islam as the West.

  22. Susette says

    Apr 10, 2017 at 11:19 am

    I am sickened by what these peaceful Coptic Christians have to endure living in a moslem-majority country. I can’t imagine being so afraid, so surrounded every day by the savagery that is islam. Christians beware…I’m sure moslems intend to destroy the peaceful spirit of Christianity during this Holy Week and on Easter Sunday. Moslems like to blame ISIS or a lone wolf, but islam is an extremist ideology of which there is no match. Hate is in the heart of every moslem…whether it’s hate for non-moslems or other islamic sects or fellow moslems that don’t follow mohammed’s hateful sharia… gays, unveiled women, moslems that fall in love non-moslems, the list goes on…
