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

Egypt: Muslim TV host says jihad massacres of Christians “okay,” but not jihad massacre in mosque

Nov 27, 2017 9:18 am By Robert Spencer

“We saw attacks by terrorists on the police and army, and we said this is mutual violence. These extremist groups have attacked churches and we said that they think it is a [different] religion, not Islam, and it is hostile to them, and then we said it is okay, but how [can these groups attack] Muslims?,” Magdi said.

It is good that she was suspended, but where did she get this idea in the first place? Straight from the Sharia. In Islamic law, Muslim lives are explicitly worth more than those of non-Muslims. The Shafi’i Sharia manual ‘Umdat al-Salik dictates: “The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man. The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid for a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth that of a Muslim.” (o4.9)

The Shafi’i madhhab is not the only school of Islamic law that teaches this. The Iranian Shi’ite Sufi Sheikh Sultanhussein Tabandeh explains: “Thus if [a] Muslim commits adultery his punishment is 100 lashes, the shaving of his head, and one year of banishment. But if the man is not a Muslim and commits adultery with a Muslim woman his penalty is execution…Similarly if a Muslim deliberately murders another Muslim he falls under the law of retaliation and must by law be put to death by the next of kin. But if a non-Muslim who dies at the hand of a Muslim has by lifelong habit been a non-Muslim, the penalty of death is not valid. Instead the Muslim murderer must pay a fine and be punished with the lash….Since Islam regards non-Muslims as on a lower level of belief and conviction, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim…then his punishment must not be the retaliatory death, since the faith and conviction he possesses is loftier than that of the man slain…Again, the penalties of a non-Muslim guilty of fornication with a Muslim woman are augmented because, in addition to the crime against morality, social duty and religion, he has committed sacrilege, in that he has disgraced a Muslim and thereby cast scorn upon the Muslims in general, and so must be executed….Islam and its peoples must be above the infidels, and never permit non-Muslims to acquire lordship over them.” — Sultanhussein Tabandeh, A Muslim Commentary on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

“Egyptian TV host suspended over comments on N. Sinai mosque attack,” Al-Masry Al-Youm, November 26, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Owner of Sada al-Balad Media Group Mohamed Abu al-Enein has suspended one of its TV hosts Rasha Magdi and referred her to an internal investigation over inappropriate comments she made on air regarding Friday’s terrorist attack on the al-Rawda mosque in North Sinai.

Magdi went off script during her show on the privately-owned Sada al-Balad TV channel on Friday, describing terrorist attacks against the army and police as “mutual violence,” while suggesting that attacks against Christians are more understandable than attacks against Muslims.

“We saw attacks by terrorists on the police and army, and we said this is mutual violence. These extremist groups have attacked churches and we said that they think it is a [different] religion, not Islam, and it is hostile to them, and then we said it is okay, but how [can these groups attack] Muslims?,” Magdi said.

When Magdi worked for the state television network, several legal cases were filed against her for inciting hatred against Egypt’s Copic Christians, particularly regarding the killing by the Egyptian army of more than 25 Christians during what has become known as the Maspero massacre….

      my wife’s Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood relatives are flying to New York to have their Mohammedan anchor babies delivered there. The insanity of this loop hole is just mind boggling.

        You know, my wife and i could have done that with our firstborn. Would have been easy in fact. In a few years, we could have come and perhaps stayed permanently in the land of the free.

        But we didn’t. Why?

        We love and respect the USA too much to abuse their honorable system. We felt it wouldn’t be worth being able to stay if we had done it in such a disrespectful and underhand way. And our common faith in Christ told us it would be just plain wrong.

        The end result, in this small context, is that the USA has one more muslim raised citizen, and one less citizen raised a Christian. Funny how it goes isn’t it?

          Response to leftisruiningCanada:
          We the Christians of the Middle East are not even approved for visitor visas to visit first degree relatives in the USA, Europe or Canada meanwhile visas are very easy to obtain if the applicant is muslim. The reason? The embassies of the western countries in muslim lands hire muslim employees who discriminate against Christians , their bosses say nothing so as to remain politically correct .
          I know a nun ( wearing the habit) who was requesting a visa to see a doctor in the US for a second opinion for her complicated medical case, she was denied a visa. All the paperwork from the doctors and the convent was correct. Meanwhile they are issuing visas all the time to mohammedans of fighting age.
          You may or may not know that in other countries a Christian can be sorted out just by reading his ( her) first and last name, their dialect, the dress code and the religion section on the ID papers.
          It is funny in an embassy of a western country , the ambassador appointed a veiled fanatic woman to decide on the asymlum applications submitted by Christians???? Is he kidding?Of course she denied them and reported them to the government that they are trying to flee.
          As in your case, we the minority Christians respect the system in the western countries and would never abuse it, but it looks like the western countries want more muslims . Look at the numbers of Christians amongst refugees , it is less than 0.5%

          Dear Persecuted Christian, it is a great shame that our western nations have at an official level largely turned their backs on Christians in favor of members of a religion that only mean us harm.

          There is a lot of politics behind it, not least the Wests fascination with Leftist ideas, and the many deals that have been made with the Arab muslims nations that allow them easy immigration and cultural influence (reciprocated of course).

          But, as a Christian, you would probably agree that politics is the reason but only a symptom of a deeper problem – our turning away from Christ, and a slow rejection of everything good and right.

          I’ve some small idea of what it’s like to be a Christian in the Middle East, and i can only tell you that my family prays regularly for those like you who live under persecution and islamic rule. The more we learn about islam, the more pity and love we have for you.

          But if we don’t do something here, soon there won’t be a West for persecuted people to aim for. Already many who have made it to the west are making it clear that the sharia they fled has caught up with them again…..

          God be with you.

        Your talking about the desire of African Americans to change their christian name (given to them in the past by the slave owner) and changing it to the name of the Arab who sold them into slavery in the first place. The irony is strong with this one.

    ooops, islam slipped out of her mouth without her wanting to be truthful about how she feels.

    Egyptians are as a rule disgusting people and Rasha Magdi (her last name makes her suspicious to Mohammedans because it is mostly a Christian name) is just your average Gyppo punter.

    • WorkingClassPost says

      Nov 27, 2017 at 10:38 am

      Interesting that her name might be Christian, because my take on what she said is a bit different…

      It looks to me, as though she’s highlighting their cruel hypocrisy:-

      “We saw attacks by terrorists on the police and army, and we said this is mutual violence. These extremist groups have attacked churches and we said that they think it is a [different] religion, not Islam, and it is hostile to them, and then we said it is okay, but how [can these groups attack] Muslims?,”

      The question is clear, would she have been suspended if she’d personally said it was OK to attack Christians?

      • Bog says

        Nov 28, 2017 at 10:20 am

      RichardL you cannot judge an entire race of people numbering over 90 million by the remarks of one TV presenter. What could of poor, under-educated mentality are you depicting here? Get it through your head that NOT all Egyptians are muslim and that there is a sizeable christian population living there, like there has been for the past 2000 years. Tell me have you seen any offensive remarks being made by Coptic Christians for the past few decades?

      Care to provide more evidence that “Egytians are as a rule disgusting people” to justify your racism? Don’t forget for one sorry second there there are countless atrocities committed by various nations on this planet throughout history. So don’t you criticise one nation, and say its people are “disgusting”, you racist bigot. Clearly the only one here that is disgusting is you.

      Have a nice day 🙂

      Wrong. Hateful. Egyptian people are brilliant and a blessing to the world for 3000 years: pharaohs and Ptolemies, and the first Christians too.

      I pray for and give to Copts monthly. They speak true Egyptian and remind me of the fabulous strength they have to never have converted to a base and backward ideology that Persecutes them daily.

      Please forgive the rank ignorance of many western bigots who still reject the greatness and glory of our eastern Christian families.

    This comment puts ex-Prez Barack Hussein in an odd position. He favored the uber jihad terror outfit the Mo-Bro-Hood but al-Sisi took over and called for reform of Islam. Meanwhile, then Prez Hussein was importing Moslems from the Levant as “refugees” even as Christians and Yazidis were being mass murdered and turned into sex slaves, and would’ve been *real* refugees, but were not allowed in.

    It’s all become one very confused serial of Good Cop, Bad Cop.

    RichardL, you said “”’Egyptians are as a rule disgusting people and Rasha Magdi (her last name makes her suspicious to Mohammedans because it is mostly a Christian name)…”.

    Do you mean that the Copts (the original people of Egypt) are included in your description of disgusting? If so, why? For your info, the Copts are over 20% of the Egyptian populous.

    Also, Magdi is NOT a Christian name. Many Coptic parents have named their children Muslims names to save them the harassments from the Muslim kids. I am one of them.
    The Copts have been massacred by Muslims for over 1400 years. We have our own language, which we still use in our churches to this very day. ARABIC IS NOT OUR LANGUAGE it was forced on us. That what Muslims do. After they invade they abolish any signs of the culture of the invaded country and is replaced by force with their ugly Satanic violent system as you can see what is happening around the world

      Nov 28, 2017 at 2:09 pm

      Dear Ronyvo,

      Do not blame RichardL. There are countless people like him who collectively blame the persecuted Christians like us, putting us in one category as our persecutors. No one knows how the persecuted feels except those who were persecuted themselves . On 9/11 , I was visiting a western country, I was approached by a lady who asked which side I support. I was wearing a cross pendant, I indicated that I am a Christian myself who is persecuted by the perpetrators of 9/11, so it goes without saying that I am against the perpetrators of 9/11. I told her I uphold the western values of freedom and democracy . The lady who asked me the question did not allow me to finish my sentence and accused me of racism against moslems. It was ok for her to accuse me , an individual who tasted firsthand the persecution under moslems, but it was not ok to let me defend myself of her accusation. That incident showed me how far some people are from reality. The painful thing is that she shut me up and would not listen

      • ronyvo says

        Nov 28, 2017 at 3:39 pm

        Dear persecuted, We the Copts are used to all kinds of insults, name calling, to be killed and the aggressor goes free , or a claim that he is mentally insane…etc. Of course the aggressor would be Muslim. Most of the Copts refuse to leave Egypt. The rest of us migrated to the free west.
        When 9/11 happened I took it personally. What the hec are they coming after me!!!
        On 9/12 9the second day) I start writing about Islam, warning the Americans of it. You cannot imagine the attacks I got from both non-Muslims and of course, Muslims alike. I was stunned, but I answered them all politely, not slurs no get back at them attitude. I was banned few times. I am still writing not as much as before, the reason is thousands of westerners all over got educated and very well informed about this evil, satanic, extremely hateful system. Islam is NOT a religion.
        Sorry, I got carried out.

    So what part of God’s Official Commandment “Thou shalt NOT kill” do muslims not understand?

    What part of “Thou shalt NOT kill” does allah,the islamic counterfeit of God,not understand when he says you are free to break God’s Commandment and “slay the unbeliever wherever you find them” koran 2:191

    What part of “Thou shalt NOT kill” did muhammed not understand when he mass murdered Jews?
    {Abu Dawud 4390}

    muslims do not follow or obey God’s Commandments:the killing of a muslim or a Christian or a Jew is STILL MURDER in the eyes of the True God no matter who does it.

    There is the law of God which the koran doesn’t follow:the Commandments.
    And the reason muslims are so filled with hate for others within and without their cult is that there are .
    NO TWO CHIEF COMMANDMENTS in islam.

    No matter what you read in the Bible you know there are Laws of God that must be obeyed.
    The koran,on the other hand, says you are free to break God’s Commandments!
