Egypt: Islamic State top dog warns Muslims to “stay away from Christian gatherings”

May 5, 2017 10:08 am By Robert Spencer

Because they plan to murder more Christians.

“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).

“ISIS Leader in Egypt Warns Muslims to Avoid Christian Gatherings,” by Jack Moore, Newsweek, May 5, 2017 (thanks to Lookmann):

The leader of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) in Egypt has told Muslims to avoid Christian gatherings, pointing to the possibility of further attacks against Christians in the country after two suicide bombings that killed dozens last month.

An interview with the unnamed leader appeared in the jihadi group’s latest release of its weekly Al Naba newspaper, published on the encrypted messaging platform Telegram. He also warned Muslims to keep away from potential army and police targets.

“We are warning you to stay away from Christian gatherings, as well as the gatherings of the army and the police, and the areas that have political government facilities,” the leader said.

On Palm Sunday, a Christian holiday, ISIS fighters in Egypt detonated two separate suicide bombs on churches in the country’s second city of Alexandria and the Nile Delta town of Tanta, killing 45. It was the deadliest attack against Egypt’s Coptic Christians for years.

The interview suggests the group will continue to target the minority group. In February, ISIS released a video that said Christians were its “favorite prey.”…

    IF *ALL* moslims “stayed away,” there would be no one going there strapped and loaded to kill Christians.

    islam and its moslim adherents are from satan the devil and they wish to do the desires of their demon father.

    The GRAND JIHAD is now here. This is a GRAND JIHAD against Christians GENERALLY.

    Pope Francis, time stop sleeping in Marxist la-la-land and stop being DOPE Francis.

    Pope Francis, wake up and smell the jihad AGAINST CHRISTIANS.

      Do we know that he cares about Christians?

      Because lately he has given the appearance of preferring Muslims to Christians.

      While I agree with you that Pope Francis is a dope, I fail to see how he has any major influence in the world except perhaps with some misguided Catholics who still believe some God appointed him. Nonsense. The Vatican should strip itself of its vast wealth and use it to fight against those who would take over the world by violence. Pope Francis: “Tear down this wall.”

    QUI TACET CONSENTIRE VIDETUR !

    Meanwhile, Pope Frank’s new ‘best friend’ al-Tayeb at Al Azhar is completely silent.

    SILENCE MEANS APPROVAL.

      And also looks like a fondness of, and preference for, Muslims.

    So, like they haven’t been killing Christians, Jews, and Hindus for the past 1,500 years?
    Let them come to our little country church down here in the deep South, and we’ll teach’m not to mess with us Confederates.

    * note, our Pastor builds AR-15’s for a hobby, and those of us who still can bag a deer, or two, every season.

    All of us here know that isis is normative and pure islam.What isis is saying is, normative and pure islam hate” CHRISTIANS and pope and west are denying this TRUTH.

    • Jeanette says

      May 7, 2017 at 12:49 pm

      Anyone who doesn’t know what Islam is by now, with the Internet available to almost all – certainly in the West, is insistently ignorant.

      The insistently ignorant don’t LIKE true, reasonable, or decent. They just like their fellow insistently ignorants, and whomever they support.

      They are worse than sheep because the latter aren’t dangerous.

    When the greatest champion of Inter-Faith dialogue His Holiness visits Egypt to meet ‘moderate’ Islamists
    at Al-Azhar, [in a bid to eradicate terror] where is the need to worry ?

    • Jeanette says

      May 7, 2017 at 12:52 pm

      Sounds like you are saying that with friends like Pope Francis, Catholics ( and other Christians and non-Chrisitian non-Muslims) don’t need any enemies.

  8. John A. Marre says

    They make their intentions very obvious. The people who ignore them are moronic, or in love with them.

    • Carolyne says

      May 6, 2017 at 10:55 am

      If we have to choose between “Moronic” and “In love with them,” I’ll take “In love with them,” and further add, “One of them.”

      • Jeanette says

        May 7, 2017 at 12:54 pm

        I agree. It is too easy to find out the truth in the age of the Internet.

        These people are insistently ignorant, and do everything they can to avoid being informed.

        That makes them dangerous.

        We will need to remember that if it ever comes to war against Islam in the US.

    “Top Dog”. LOL. Imagine mainstream news media outlets starting to use hat monkier with regularity when referring to chief leaders of Islamic terrorist organizations!

    Slightly related, this news is from the South of Philippines: (Sept 2016)

    Taken straight out of a missionary news letter; “In the area of terrorist beheadings some of the Muslim youth wanted to be Baptised but their fathers told them not to as their whole family would be beheaded…”

    Now this is in a Catholic (with a significant protestant population) country, not too far from Australia, any comment from His Holiness Pope Francis? (I seriously doubt it) But all of this simply shows the reality of what happens when there is Islamic expansion into any nation. Perhaps the Filipino President will raise this issue Muslim expansion) with President Trump when they meet later this year. In the meantime we in Australia, Canada, the USA and the EU just continue to welcome Muslims as immigrants, just when will we wake up?

    • Jeanette says

      May 7, 2017 at 12:56 pm

      And in the meantime, Muslims continue to reproduce at very high rates in the countries of the West, and we are often forced to pay for the costs associated with that.

    If the muslims stay away from Christian gatherings….well, what’s the downside to that again?

    • Jeanette says

      May 7, 2017 at 12:58 pm

      I wondered why that order was given in the first place.

      After all, the major goal of ISIS et al is to kill non-Muslims, preferably Christians, in the West.

      Are they just changing their methods? Are we now going to see bombs thrown through the windows of the homes of Christians, rather than seeing people at Christian gatherings attacked?

    The silence of the Muslim world to these savage outrages;
    the same Muslim world that violently riots in the streets internationally over cartoons,
    says it all.

    Still, no one in the West is able to understand what we confront.
    We are called ‘haters’ because we bear witness to it.

  13. Carolyne says

    May 6, 2017 at 10:58 am

    I am forever amazed at the lack of intelligence of Muslims. They riot in the streets and kill each other in the Middle East in response to a cartoon in Denmark. There should be more such cartoons. The more they exterminate each other, the better.

    • Jeanette says

      May 7, 2017 at 1:03 pm

      But so far, they’ve been smart enough to breed fast enough to have a net gain to their population.

      The West is helping by making sure that Muslim women and children survive childbirth at much higher rates than in the middle east, and that Muslim attackers who are hurt are well patched up … both at the expense of non-Muslim taxpayers.

      The silent Muslims are complicit in the crimes committed by their fellow savages; that’s why they ALL should be sent to the middle east and confined there, while they kill each other off,with violence, mutilations, and disease.
