The Islamic State considers Sufis to be heretics and thus deserving Islam’s death penalty for those who deviate from the faith. This attack took place in a Sufi mosque.
“Prosecutor: Militant gunmen in Egypt mosque attack carried ‘Islamic State’ flag,” Reuters, November 25, 2017:
CAIRO – Militant gunmen who killed more than 300 people in an attack on a mosque in Egypt’s North Sinai on Friday were carrying an Islamic State flag and were between 25 to 30 in number, the public prosecutor’s office said in a statement on Saturday.
The gunmen, some wearing masks and military-style uniforms, surrounded the mosque blocking windows and a doorway and opened fire inside with automatic rifles, the statement citing their investigation and interviews with wounded survivors….

JawsV says
Yes, I couldn’t care less.
NotaMuslim says
Nobody should care less when other human beings die especially when these oppose ISIS. Sufi are the only hope Islam has to straigten up wrong teachings…
JawsV says
Just can it. The only hope for Islam is to be abolished.

JawsV says
Exactly, 9/11. And all of the subsequent murderous Jihads worldwide. I couldn’t care less about Muslims and their vile “religion” Islam.

@ JawsV
“Yes, I couldn’t care less.”
You should. Especially about the children.
JawsV says
Bug off. I couldn’t care less about Muslims and Islam. I care about the Jews and Christians mass-murdered by Muslims/Islam since 9/11. You should too.

You can see same black flag of ISIS being paraded through London…..the British police run for safety……….Don’t believe it…..watch on line..”.MUSLIMS CHASE COPS IN LONDON..POLICE RUN FOR COVER”……..and be ashamed
James says
The omly videos I could find were several years old. Still, point taken. Such gutless people should not be in the police.
Naildriver says
I have yet to see any , any, news channel mention the fact that it’s a Sufi mosque that was attacked.
They all assert it is ISIS; but possibly just a bunch of Sunni Muslims who saw an opportunity to kill these apostates because they were becoming too numerous in the neighborhood — much like the racist white trash in the south of the USA during reconstruction, and they were even possibly abetted by authorities with arms, who have now assumed the role of indignant police who intend to hunt down the perpetrators.
Karen says
“They all assert it is ISIS; ”
And they were carrying the black flag. Well possibly, but I wonder.
PRCS says
Probably not Presbyterians.
Naildriver says
Yes! one flag was some indication of alliance to IS, as if ISIS would kill anyone who carried their flag without its express permission and dues paying membership.
It occurred to me that I suggested not — but no one has to join up to any group if one is Sunni to murder people in Mohammed’s, Islam’s, or Allah’s name.
In contrast the news media is all about showing a connection to IS or some fanatical group and continue the false narrative to say Islam is blameless — and the failure to mention the Sufi and explain their relationship to Islam apostates is to say ‘See, Muslim murder each other — how can this be about Islam or even Islam!’
Charles says
An attack?
On other Muslims?
Simply because they “fart” in the wrong direction OR at the wrong time of day?
HOW VERY ISLAMIC!
?
Benedict says
“Egypt: Muslims who killed more than 300 people in attack on Sufi mosque carried Islamic State flag.” –
Condemnations and riots all over the Muslim world will flood the media now due to this caricature, in and of flesh and blood, of Islam implicating its holy prophet.
Troybeam says
Nothing new here folks, move along, In Islam Muslims in the Middle East have for centuries killed each other for their different concepts of the Koran.
What really matters is when they bring that battle between themselves here on American soil along with the conquer America as well.
Then there’s the poor refugees of Egypt: battle between beliefs, we don’t need or want these people in our nation, Leave it where it belongs in Egypt.
Chand says
Ya, but if these guys aren’t stopped there then this problem WILL reach far away shores for sure. Only a matter of time. Remember, Alqaeda and Bin Laden seemed a local Afghan problem only twenty years ago. This Hydra will put up new heads even after being crushed in the Levant and every time it has to re-crushed. This war is gonna last for a century now, IMHO.
mortimer says
It’s ironic that they want to persecute the Sufis who are the most mystical, death-loving and ferocious of all Muslims! I believe there will likely be an organized push-back from the Sufis who will turn in the all-out Salafist ISIS assassins to the authorities or else they will assassinate the Salafists themselves. That means going after targets in their organizations and perhaps going under cover to do so.
gravenimage says
Good points, Mortimer and Honest Ali. Too many in the West assume that all Sufis are peace-loving, which is anything but the case.
pfwag says
Just more “real Muslims” doing exactly waht their crazy prophet and moon-bat god command all Muslims to do: kill the heretics. And the infidels.
sam m says
Moslems killing Moslems same program for 1400 years why are western leaders making excuses for this .
Walter Sieruk says
This time it’s jihadists associated with ISIS, who are Sunni Muslims murderous Sufi Muslims of Iran. As in those ISIS jihad attack. Nevertheless Muslim of those two of Islam both believe that the founder of their religion, Muhammad, was an actually prophet of God. Likewise , they both believe that their “holy book” the Qu ‘ran is the actual word of God .All this lead to the important subject that it’s a good thing to define what Islam really is .Of the many ways Islam may be described, one of them is that a religion of denial. Meaning that Islam denies that Jesus is the Son of God. As in the Son of God Who is God the Father. Furthermore, Islam denies the Jesus is God the Son. In addition, Islam denies that Jesus is God. Before going over these three denials of Islam it first should the stated the Bible instructs the way to tell if a prophet or religious teacher is really from and of God or not is do the teachings and doctrines of that prophet of teacher really fit in accord what is found in the Bible ? For if that prophet or teachers and teachers doctrines that are in contradiction to the Bible then that prophet is a false prophet and that religious teacher is a false teacher and thus in doctrinal error and darkness. Likewise if a religion had teachings and doctrines that are in contradiction that is religion is in error also part of the world of darkness and is therefore a false religion. As the Bible instructs in Isaiah 8:20. “To the law of the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” [K.J.V.] With this clearly stated, three things should be known.
First, that Islam denial that Jesus is the Son of God is in great contradiction to the teaching of the Bible . Which reveals the Jesus is the Son of God? As seen in ,for example Matthew 3:16,17. 16:15,16. Luke 1:35. John 3:16-18, 36. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13. Second, that Islam denies that Jesus is God the Son is in strong contradiction to the Bible. As found in Hebrews 1:6-8. With emphasis on verse 8. Third, Islam’s denial that Jesus is God is in great contrast to the doctrine and teaching of the Bible. That Jesus is God may be found in ,for example, John 1:1;3. Colossians 1:15-17. 2:9. Romans 9:5 Second Peter 1:1. Titus 2:13. First John 5:20. Moreover, to further discover that the Bible teachings that Jesus is God all a person has to do is to compare the Old Testament with New Testament to see that Jesus is God. As in comparing Isaiah 45:22,23. with Philippians 2:5-11. Also by comparing Psalm 89:8,9. with Mathew 8:23-27. will reveal that Jesus is God. Likewise, by comparing Psalm 62:5-7 . with First Corinthians 10:4. shows the Deity of Jesus. Even by comparing the News Testament books together will show that Jesus is God. As in comparing Romans 14:12. with John 5:22. will show Jesus to be God. The list can go on but this should be enough, for all who are willing to see the truth, that Jesus is, indeed, the Son of God. That Jesus is God the Son and that Jesus is God.
The imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam will try to “explain’ this all away by making the claim that the Bible had been corrupted by Christians ,through time, and that’s way the Bible reads as it does. This claim, very much, underestimate the Power of God to protect and preserve His Word ,through time , and to keep in intact and away from the corruption of men. In conclusion, in light and information of the Bible in can be seen that Islam is a awful and terrible doctrinal error concerning it teaching about the Nature of Jesus and therefore Islam is part of the world of darkness. So Islam with its strong contradictions to the Bible is a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. So all Muslims be they peaceful non-ISIS members or the violent jihadist/ISIS members are thus invited to leave the false religion of Islam and come the and receive the Jesus of the Bible who is the only way to heaven ,John 14:6 and the True Light of the world. John 8:12.

It must have been their foreign policy.

Egypt: Muslims who killed more than 300 people in attack on Sufi mosque carried Islamic State flag
…………………………..
So much for the idea that ISIS has been defeated.
commonsense says
Yep – I think it should be demanded of our former liar-and-traitor-in-chief, the previous occupant of the White House, that he go visit the survivors of this attack and reassure them that ISIL (sic) is on the run, and they were essentially a Junior Varsity team anyway – just a laughably ineffective, ragtag bunch of un-Islamic wiseguys who’ve hijacked REAL Islam.
Nonie Darwish says
And Zuhdi Jasser thinks he will reform Islam!!! lol
Nonie Darwish says
When I lived in Egypt there was nothing called Sufi mosque!!!! this is just the beginning of major civil unrest in Egypt…. very sad
JawsV says
Are you the real Nonie Darwish?!
Dov Berrol says
Another disturbing and depressing aspect of this horrible massacre, is that Muslims everywhere are commenting that they are outraged by the fact that the victims were fellow Muslims and that the scene of the crime was a Muslim place of worship. Some are saying that the killers are worse than infidels. And the underlying subtext is that it is okay if Muslims kill unbelievers in non-Muslim places of worship. So no matter what happens in the Muslim world, infidel unbelievers still get that Muslim slap in the face….with a shoe of course.
Kind of interesting that this kind of massacre never happened when Israel was in control of Sinai, no? I guess Sufis will be safer in Judea and Samaria if Israelis maintain control there too.
JawsV says
Muslims are not obligated to have compassion or mercy for non-Muslims. See Nonie Darwish’s book, “Wholly Different” (2017). So, that’s exactly how I feel about Muslims. I couldn’t care less. Since 9/11, they can all go to heck and join their roasting fake prophet.
Xero_G says
What happened to the attackers? Were they killed or did they escape?
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
wahhabism, which gave birth to Isis and Zionism, are twin sisters of evils as Abdulwahhab(may Allah curse him) of Najd was also a Jew who came from Turkey and hired by British Govt to creat division among Muslims while fighting ottoman Turks.
JawsV says
It’s Islam that’s evil.
abad says
Ibrahim, did you remember to fulfill your quota for the day??
gravenimage says
What Ibrahim itace muhammed never mentions is that he does not actually disagree with the Wahhabis or ISIS in any doctrinal sense. Instead, he jsut calls them “Jews”–which like all good Muslims he considers an insult–because they represent rival gangs of Jihadists to his own.
Chand says
Abd al wahhab of Najd was a Jew/!!??!!
ha ha ho ho ho hee hee hee heee……………………………
You do make me laugh out loud at times, Ibrahim.
Are you a defender of Islam or some Mossad secret agent out to make fun of Islam? I’m confused…………………
But I agree……………………”(May Allah curse him)”.
FYI says
I wonder what part of God’s official commandment “Thou shalt not kill” the muslim brain cannot understand.
What is it that these lost muslim souls just don’t get?.
Do you see these devout muslims obeying ANY of God’s Commandments?
But then of course neither allah in his “perfect” koran nor muhammed (the mass murderer of the innocent see Abu Dawud 4390 )in his life show any signs of following and obeying ANY of God’s Commandments do they?
Does that commandment of God “Thou shalt Not kill” somehow fail to be translatable into classical Arabic in the “holy” koran?
Do muslims not understand the phrase “thou shalt not kill”?
Don’t they know it is a Commandment of God?
They prefer instead to put on a show of false piety five times a day instead.
And they have the example of that self-appointed “prophet” muhammed who according to islamic teachings was a mass murderer ,as well as allah’s sinful command in koran 2:191 to do evil and commit murder.
Was muhammed unaware of God’s Commandments prohibiting such evil?
It seems so..and so are his devout but fraudulently pious fellow muslims…
JawsV says
Islam doesn’t have the 10 Commandments. Or Golden Rule. Allah is not the Judeo-Christian God. Allah isn’t God. So, you’re wasting your time. Islam says “Kill” not “Don’t kill” (Judaism/Christianity).
Yes, Muhammed was aware of the Bible. The Koran is a rebellion AGAINST the Bible. You should get Nonie Darwish’s book, “Wholly Different” (2017). You’d really like it. Available at Barnes & Noble.
gravenimage says
True.
abad says
Um, Islam does NOT follow the Bible at all.
Instead it follows a book called the Quran.
Huge difference.
JawsV says
Quran is the reverse of the Bible. Nonie Darwish discusses this in detail in her book “Wholly Different” (2017). Everyone pls buy it at Barnes & Noble. You won’t regret!
Dustin Koellhoffer says
The “Islamic State Flag” is the Black Flag of Muhammad. Taqiyyah will say these men were not Muslim, but Moslems see the Sufis as “heretics.” Islam is from where the Catholic Church developed their Inquisition.
Christians crushed the Inquisition. Moslems endorse the Jihad

Aussie Infidel says
When we were kids, I remember my uncle telling us that he had fought in the Sinai Peninsula during WW I. They defeated the Ottoman Turks at Wadi El-Arish (near this mosque) to prevent them from attacking the Suez Canal. The town of El Arish in North Queensland was named in honor of that battle.

And now a hundred years later, the jihadists are at it again.
There will be no peace until Islam is banished from the face of the Earth.

Heather says
The Satanic verses is the real I-slam. The devil tempted Jesus but Jesus is the Truth. NoHam proved his evilness by selling himself to Satan and consequently deceiving all moslems. Poor, silly fools are living under a spell. Still they have a choice to see the light so only have themselves to blame.
