Egypt: Muslim stabs security guard who prevented him from entering a church

Jul 16, 2017 9:12 am By Robert Spencer

Imagine the outcry if a Christian had stabbed a guard who prevented him from entering a mosque. But you won’t hear anything about this. If you asked 100 people on the street which was a bigger problem, “Islamophobia” or the Muslim persecution of Christians, most would likely say “Islamophobia.” This testifies to the relentlessness of the “Islamophobia” propaganda campaign in the West.

“Knifeman attacks Egypt church guard, arrested: Police,” AFP, July 16, 2017 (thanks to Maged):

CAIRO (AFP) – An Egyptian Muslim stabbed and wounded a security guard after being prevented from entering a church in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria on Saturday (July 15), a senior police official told AFP.

The man was quickly subdued by the guard and others who rushed to help and is being questioned, the official said.

The incident came days after Egypt’s Christian minority leaders said they were suspending some activities such as conferences and religious trips for security reasons.

Islamic State group jihadists have killed dozens of Coptic Christians in church bombings and shooting attacks in Egypt since December, and have threatened further attacks….

CCTV footage of the incident showed a man wearing earphones and with a bag trying to enter the church when he was called back by a guard who asked to check the bag.

The man took out a knife and slashed the face of the guard, who quickly recovered to subdue his attacker with the help of others….

    Equally important, why would a Muslim risk his personal safety for that a Christians? Obviously its taqqiya like those Muslim lawmakers in Germany who voted for Gay marriage or those imams who declined to perform funeral rites on London Jihadis.

    Robert Spencer’s next article: “Super Taqqiya: Why Muslims may once in a while do something good and why it should concern non-Muslims”

      In other words, ignore the Jihadist and the constant attacks on Christians in Dar-al-Islam. Nothing to see here, you ungrateful Infidels!

      I hope in the near future that our current President and his administration stresses the fact that Christian persecution is worse now since the Romans Empire. This issue will make its way to Jews if we as a nation become steadfast in our security and make of life.

    Coptic and Assyrian Christians are the two most persecuted Christian communities in the world with Pakistan’s Christian community the third most persecuted.

    Hating kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’ is normative Islam, rather than an aberration. Hating kafirs is part of an ‘essential’ doctrine of Islam known as ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’. Muslims who do not HATE, REJECT and SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM the dirty KUFAAR will be Muslims who will be REJECTED by Allah and spend eternity BURNING in Islamic HELL.

    The emotional subtext of LEFTardation is SADOMASHOCHISM… just like that of Islam. That’s why they get along… they both the Left and Islam want to hurt and exterminate the same groups… Jews and Christians. Both the Leftards have other groups they want to destroy as well, but it is a good bet that the UNHOLY RED/GREEN ALLIANCE will not last very long before they squabble over all the many IMPORTANT differences that DIVIDE the two groups.

    This is good news. One less.

    Probably prevented a multiple stabbing inside.

      Quite possibly a bombing, too. Why else would he have started stabbing if there was nothing unusual in that bag?

    The cover up is part of the strategy which helps them to continue because the disease is less likely to spread the more people that are aware of it. So they keep it quiet until they have the majority and then all of a sudden they want everyone to go along with the culture of invasion. This is all connected.

    The guard did a good job here, probably prevented a bloodbath inside the church.
