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

Survivor of Islamic State massacre says jihadis told Christians to renounce faith, killed them when they refused

Jul 18, 2017 12:17 pm By Robert Spencer

After every murder, they screamed “Allahu akbar.” Not that this has anything to do with Islam.

A hadith depicts Muhammad saying: “Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war…When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them…. If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them. (Sahih Muslim 4294.)

“Survivor of ISIS massacre says Christians were told to renounce their faith but women refused,” by Stoyan Zaimov, Christian Today, July 17, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

One of the survivors of the massacre of 29 Egyptian Christians in Minya in May said that the Islamic State extremists forced the women off the bus and ordered them to renounce their faith in Christ, but the Copts refused.

Financial Times reported on Tuesday that Mariam Adel, a young mother whose husband and nine of her relatives were killed in the attack, has been speaking from her hospital bed about the terrorist group’s attack.

Adel said that the jihadists opened fire with machine guns at the bus carrying the Christians traveling to a desert monastery, before getting on board to kill any men left alive.

As for the women, the radicals ordered them off the bus and told them to convert to Islam.

“Renounce our faith? Of course not,” Adel said of the women’s reaction. “If we had, they might have let us off the bus and treated us well. But we only want Jesus and we are confident he will not leave us.”

In response, IS robbed the women of their gold jewelry and mobile phones, taking what they described as the “spoils of war.”…

Other survivors of the Minya massacre, such as 10-year-old schoolboy Mina Habib, have also opened up about their harrowing experience.

Habib, whose father was one of IS’ victims, told Reuters in June:

“They asked my father for identification then told him to recite the Muslim profession of faith. He refused, said he was Christian. They shot him and everyone else with us in the car.”

The boy added, “Every time they shot someone they would yell ‘God is great.'”…

Actually, they screamed “Allahu akbar,” which means “Allah is greater,” not “God is great.”

      I wonder if the pope suscribes to that instruction? After all he seems to believe that islamism is peace and love…

    The violent take it by force and the globalist government endorses them to do so. I smell a Jesuit plot in this whole affair. Mother of Harlots deceiving the nations of the earth and having the blood of the saints on her hands.

      well then your nose is plugged -islam is NOT Vatican plot, but Satan’s to try and destroy the sacrifice of Jesus- which alone can save us from the penalty our sins deserve!
      islam is a doctrine of Satan and muhammed was Satan’s false prophet

      What? Jesuits are not murdering Christians–Muslims are, though.

      This is mainstream Islam–we have seen many cases like this. Pretending Catholics do this is just ludicrous calumny.

      You also don’t explain why Jesuits would demand that Christians convert to Islam.

        There are however some very STRANGE ALLIANCES around including the LEFT & ISLAM & the current POPE seems quite ENTHRALLED with ISLAM !
        Amazing considering the huge number of attacks on CHRISTIANS & CHRISTIAN communities world wide !
        ISLAM is currently running an ETHNIC CLEANSING EXERCISE in the Middle East & the WEST is SILENT as it bows to ISLAM !!!

        HORRIBLE to watch & realize that the level of COWARDICE , COLLUSION & DECIEPT of the WESTERN COWARDS !!!!!!!!!

    Islam IS worship of Satan. These Muslims are damned to Hell fire and want to damn everyone else. What is it to have a heart filled with hate and a thirst to kill- that Is Islam. God is nowhere to be found in Islam, but Satan saturates the cult

    Everyone putting faith in Jesus and His Holy Father, not shrinking back in the face of death…violent or otherwise…will receive a reward. For those who die, there is the promise of a resurrection.

    “Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Look, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison to test you, and you will suffer tribulation for ten days. Be faithful even unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” Revelation 2; 10

    “I know where you live, where the throne of Satan sits. Yet you have held on to My name and have not denied your faith in Me, even in the day My faithful witness Antipas was killed among you, where Satan dwells.” Revelation 2; 13

    “Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.” Matthew 10; 32-33

    Never deny your faith in Jesus, no matter what!

      How come the Pope and most people in the West love Islam .No wonder Islam is the fastest growing religion in the West as claimed by Muslims .Why do the prominent people mainly women in the West- Roman Catholics fall for Islam? Is it because of their moral DEPREVITY ?.Look at TONY BLAIR’S sister-in-law who converted to ISLAM .What a disgrace!!!!

    May God protect you from the WOLVES OF ALLAH called Muslims. Time has come for INDIA to throw the Muslims out from Kashmir and replace them with military non-Muslim settlements.NO MUSLIMS and YES TO PEACE.

    Yes: and this murderous attack by Muslims in Minya on a party of Coptic Christian pilgrims travelling to visit a monastery was *exactly* the same as a recent murderous attack by Muslims in Kashmir, upon a party of *Hindu* pilgrims who were returning from visiting Amarnath. In the Amarnath attack seven people (six women pilgrims, one man were murdered and nineteen people were wounded.

    Egypt and Kashmir are thousands and thousands of miles away from each other; the pre-Islamic history and faith/s of the two regions are utterly different; the ethnicities and languages of the perpetrators and victims, in Egypt and in India, are radically different; but in both cases, the murderers were Muslims and the murdered were non-Muslims. In both cases what was happening was mohammedans carrying out, or trying to carry out, human sacrifice to their hideous ‘allah’ god, a demon of blood and war (and rape and slavery and lies and robbery). Jihad. Jihad in Minya, Jihad in Kashmir. Jihad in Egypt, Jihad in India.

    Mohammedans believe that they are entitled to rule the *whole world*; they dream of enslaving, robbing, mass-murdering and raping *the whole of non-Muslim humanity*. They dream of a global sharia despotism within which they will be able to cruelly lord it over terrorised non-Muslims whom they can rape, rob, bash, spit on, and exploit and sadistically Abuse, for fun and profit.

    Islamia delenda est.
