Egypt: Islamic jihadis murder two German female tourists and five policemen

Jul 14, 2017 6:18 pm By Robert Spencer

“A security official said the attacker, a man in his 20s dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans, wielded a knife and intentionally sought to attack foreigners. ‘Stay away, I don’t want Egyptians,’ the assailant had said in Arabic during the attack.”

Apparently he wanted to murder Infidels only.

“Egypt attacks: 2 German female tourists, 5 policemen killed,” by Maggie Michael, Associated Press, July 14, 2017:

Two German female tourists were stabbed to death while four other foreigners were wounded in an attack Friday at a hotel in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Hurghada, an Egyptian security official said.

The assault came just hours after a shooting near some of Egypt’s most famous pyramids outside of Cairo killed five policemen.

The motive behind the stabbing was unclear and the Interior Ministry said the attacker at the Red Sea resort was arrested immediately.

A security official said the attacker, a man in his 20s dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans, wielded a knife and intentionally sought to attack foreigners.

“Stay away, I don’t want Egyptians,” the assailant had said in Arabic during the attack, according to the official.

Without taking any blame for what appears to be a major security breach, the Interior Ministry said the attacker had sneaked into the hotel by swimming from a nearby beach.

In the killings of the five policemen outside of Cairo, no group claimed responsibility for the attack but it bore the hallmarks of a smaller Islamic militant group known as Hasm that has been behind similar shootings in recent months….

The attacker in Hurghada, one of Egypt’s most popular beach resorts and diving centers, stabbed the tourists in the face, neck and feet, according to the security official.

Two German tourists died of their wounds while four tourists were wounded, including citizens of Ukraine and the Czech Republic, the official told The Associated Press.

Earlier, another official said that Ukrainians were killed and that the wounded included Serbian and Polish tourists. But in Belgrade, Serbia’s foreign ministry said no Serbian citizens were among the wounded. Later, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin tweeted that no Ukrainian citizens were among the victims in the Hurghada attack.

In Germany, the foreign ministry said that it “cannot rule out” that German citizens were among the victims, but stressed that it doesn’t yet have that information. The German Embassy in Cairo is in close contact with Egyptian authorities to clear that up, it added….

The Hasm, or “Decisiveness,” is a militant group that authorities have linked to the now-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. It has claimed responsibility for drive-by shootings and attacks that targeted police, military, judges and pro-government figures in the past….

The attacks have prompted the Coptic churches to suspend religious festivals and group tour trips to monasteries for the remainder of the summer.

    No empathy for naïve tourists taking holidays in a Muslim country ! It is already enough dangerous in the big cities of the West !

      I must say that I agree with you.
      These are most likely the same people who hold signs saying how they are not dangerous but in danger.
      It will sound extremely heartless now, but I think Germany is better off without such idiots.

    …………………..

    *Horrible*. Terribly foolish that Infidel tourists are still going to Egypt, though.

      Also crazy that people are funding islamic countries by flying Emirates.

        True, Guest.

        Yesterday I found a huge multi-page insert in the NYT urging Westerners to visit and invest in Turkey.

        One segment was entitled, “Where Worlds Collide in Perfect Harmony”–I guess they hope everyone forgot about the Armenian Genocide.

        And under the segment on the Ottoman Empire, it said, “many communities, beliefs, and cultures lived together in harmony”. Of course, no mention of Muslims demanding Christian’s children to serve in the brutal Janissaries or to be sold in the sex slave markets. Again, counting on the ignorance of decent Infidels.

        To its credit the Emirates (UAE) declare allegiance to Australia so we cut them slack. They also back Israel and fight ISIS and are aligned with Egypt against the Muslim Brotherhood. Plus they sponsor a lot of sport here in Australia so we figure they aren’t all bad. Still we need to pressure them to give up Islam altogether. Like Egypt under Al Sisi there is some hope for them.

          Ross, the Emirates are pretty bad–they are a Shari’ah state.

          Here’s just one story covered here:

      I believe that these are the very people who are our problem in the west. They march for the Muslims and call us racist. Well, two less now.

    I read a full report about this in the MSM, but I don’t remember which. However, the report went out of its way to insist he wasn’t a terrorist. They did this through the device of interviewing random bystanders who were quoted as saying things like “I don’t think he was a terrorist.” and “Maybe he had issues with the women he attacked.” They found a couple of people to quote from. They also speculated that the women may have been residents. Of course they did no independent investigation nor did they have any quote from authorities. It seemed their main focus was to downplay the potential for it being a terrorist attack. Now as yet there is no proof one way or the other, but we know by now we simply cannot trust the MSM to inform us. You read the report and you are left wondering about basic details. Pretty sad, when you read the news for information but you know you can’t trust it.

    The part where the attacker said ‘stay away, I don’t want Egyptians’ seems to suggest anti-foreigner motive…and since jihadists sometimes go out of their way to target foreigners, that adds to my theory this is yet another jihadist attack.

    Those poor women. No one should ever be killed just for being who they are or sitting on a beach. At least the attacker was caught; that no doubt saved other lives.

  5. Terry says

    I tried posting this a few minutes ago- and I think ended up in cyberspace.

    Perhaps the German women went to Egypt because they felt, that with all of the jihadists in germany, thanks to Merkel’s policies, Egypt would be safer.

    It is dangerous to be within arm’s length of a moslum. Knives are favorite weapons…everyone has them and no special license is needed to own one. No special knowledge is needed, such as is with building a bomb, and the attacker can kill without blowing himself up. The same weapon can be used again and again without reloading.

    It is unsafe to be within arms’ length of a moslum.

    Egypt is overrun with them.

      Im in New Zealand, + was on a beach, watching Somali men practicing throwing thin, long, sharp, daggers into logs on the sand. No one was taking any notice. it was only later, I realized I should have called the police. It’s illegal to possess swords + daggers like those, in NZ.

      • somehistory says

        Jul 15, 2017 at 2:01 pm

        Probably practicing for their attack on people. Would they have been arrested if you had called the police to report?

        • Peggy says

          Jul 17, 2017 at 7:27 am

          Probably not, but Ned would have been for being racist.

    The situation in Sharm and other Red Sea resorts was being re-assessed and flights were beginning to resume to these places. The Egyptian Government has been working hard to convince everyone that the Red Sea resorts are now safe and security is much improved.

    This will do incredible damage which is what ISIS hope to do, but I cannot see how they can guarantee security when everyone working in the hotels and airports are Muslim. Some will be ISIS sympathisers.

    Coming in off the beach is an easy way to penetrate hotel security – that is what happened in Tunisia.

      Yes Ann we spent two weeks in the old Hurghada, The Shedwan Gardens, Resort, the front and back were protected the sides were wide open, one side was a public play area. open to all, it had a wide beach area, one guard was not enough, when in the Airport staff/security were taking money off the leaving tourists, they simply took wallets out of pockets when searching you took what they wanted, then told you too move on, they hold the guns, you can do nothing.never again. pure scum.

    Egypt, BEFORE the Islamic ‘disease’ polluted its shores exhibited and had accrued, a wonderful level of civilisation, none can deny that fact. Then Islam arrived in 640 A.D.to burn and destroy, rape and murder. These crude, Koran brainwashed Arabs, found at Alexandria the famous Papyrus Library, containing 300,000 scrolls, the accumulated knowledge and history of the known, ancient World. The Muslim leader Amr decided that, If the books agree with the Koran, Islam had no need of them and If they are opposed to Koranic teachings they must be destroyed….BURN THEM ALL.

    • Eur says

      The Arabs muslims burned thousands of papyri and made much knowledge disappear … but the library no longer existed, disappeared a few centuries before the Arabs muslims arrived to destroy a whole civilization.

    Avoid all cultists (Islamists)! DO NOT travel to their crap countries; protest against them in your OWN country. Germany will have an additional 300,000 fake refugees by the end of 2017 in a family-repatriation move. Remember these are tribal people and a “family” can be 5 wives with 5+ children each. Get a reality check.

    • Peggy says

      Jul 17, 2017 at 7:31 am

      Don’t forget the goats.
      Then this new lot will be allowed to bring in more family and so on and so on.

    Maybe these women they only watch DW news where they whitewash islam as a great religion of peace.

    NO SYMPATHY AT ALL.

    Muslim extremists are living in both Muslim and non-Muslim countries. We, moderate Muslims, must strive more in inculcating the correct Islamic values among our constituents. The government, on the other hand, must place agents in our mosques to pretend as sympathizers so these agents can attend the secret meetings of the Muslim extremists. This way, the government will know when and where these extremists will next strike.

    • Peggy says

      Jul 17, 2017 at 7:38 am

      We can’t be doing this forever.
      You say you must strive to put correct Islamic values among your people. What the terrorists are doing ARE correct Islamic values as written in the Koran.
      Where do the peaceful values reside? Certainly not in the Koran so you are talking about something other than Islam.

    • gravenimage says

      Jul 18, 2017 at 12:43 am

      What “correct Islamic values” might those be? The “Prophet” Muhammed, I’m afraid, urged just this sort of atrocity.
