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

Islamic State urges Muslims to turn holiday hotspots in Egypt into bloodbaths by murdering Christian tourists

Mar 4, 2018 9:30 am By Robert Spencer

Relax. Keep your reservations. This is nothing that a bit of “Muslim-Christian dialogue” won’t fix, right? Right?

“ISIS fanatics urge jihadis to turn Brit holiday hot-spots in Egypt into bloodbaths by deliberately targeting Christian tourists,” by Matthew Acton, The Sun, February 28, 2018:

ISIS killers have urged fighters to turn holiday hot-spots in Egypt into bloodbaths by murdering “Christian” tourists.

Fanatics also called on jihadists to kidnap foreign travellers to embarrass the government and damage the valuable tourist economy.

UK tour operators stopped flying to the popular resort of Sharm el Sheikh after the downing of a Russian holiday jet in 2015 – killing all 224 people on board.

But now the terror group – which controls areas of the Sinai region to the north of the Red Sea resort – is demanding attacks to destabilise the Egyptian government ahead of elections in late March.

An editorial in the ISIS weekly Al-Naba, which was released online, explicitly threatens attacks.

It tells ISIS operatives to intensify their attacks against “belligerent” Christians and tourists in the country.

The article says: “And it is worth mentioning in these days that the mujahideen in all regions of Egypt aim to escalate their attacks against the apostates, belligerent Christians, and the polytheists from among the tourists [i.e. Christian and Jewish tourists], and others.”

And the Middle East monitoring group MEMRI revealed that one ISIS supporter in the region wrote on the messaging channel Telegram: “The infidel Egyptian regime is attempting to demonstrate its presence, flaunt its power and take pride in itself therefore:

“Operations targeting the Christians and seizing their property will embarrass the regime and show it up more than targeting the military and police.

“Kidnapping foreigners and tourists will greatly embarrass the regime and destroy its economy.”…

    Egyptians already murder and torment Copts without any encouragement.

    In some ways ISIS is the best thing that’s happened to Islam. Every terror act is now framed as a 1-off that would never have happened without their influence. The constant parroting of this narrative has been enough to take the pressure off Islam’s doctrines of Jihad violence and Muslims who would prefer not to think too much about it or speak publically against their religion.

      Whenever a Muslim tells me ISIS aren’t Muslim, I point out they’re Orthodox Muslims following Moh’s behaviour from the Medina part, and onwards. There’s never a response.

        Isis has not invented anything. Isis is Islam.

          Never said ISIS invented anything. Where precisely did I say that?!?! I’m negatively critiquing Islam by saying ISIS represents pure Islam. Do, please, think prior to responding.

          I notice now you’re Spanish. Please DO brush up on your understanding of English. You decided to stupidly reply to me when you didn’t understand English. I’d quite like an apology.

    It’s a shame that Obama (and other leaders) allowed ISIL to metastasize as it had.

    There were earlier chances to lance the boil, and preempt ISIL’s growth of influence.

    Just as the War vs Afghanistan and Iraq cost far too much treasure and time, when the real war should’ve been Ideologically fought, by calling out the correct enemy and educating the West, rather than focussing on a smaller element of the bigger problem: ISLAM.

    • mortimer says

      C, the globalists are using Islam to ‘lance the boil’ of European nationhood. I believe your pseudonym is half as clever as you think. A real crusader would not advertise it to anyone.

      • CRUSADER says

        Mar 5, 2018 at 8:38 pm

        I guess that now leaves out Dr Bill Warner, of Center for Political Islamic Studies ….

        It’s his assessment, after all.

        Small potatoes of an argument you have on this, nevertheless, Mortimer.
        Let’s not set your gaze on the finger when the aim of the moon is what is most imperative.

        A real Crusader makes honest assessments, and ensures that others are fully aware of the cost of a wrong strategy…. We are need of a major shift to up the PsyOps Warfare we conduct vs Islam….

        Sebastian Gorka and Michael Flynn were correct from the onset, in regards to this.

        Graven, You are very correct about being a tourist since the Arab winter. In 2005 my wife and I arranged for her father, who taught Inca Studies in Lima, Peru, to meet us in Cairo for a Christmas holiday. We visited everywhere in the country. We even drove from Cairo to Alexandria and from Cairo to El Faiyum near where the palace of a thousand rooms (where Joseph read the Pharaoh’s dreams). Don’t remember the name of the lake but there is a salt lake nearby and a lovely city. We went to almost every major city of antiquity with no fear of attack. From Luxor to Hurghada we had to travel in a convoy with an obligatory military escort and in Cairo’s central market, we were told by the tourist police which taxis were safe and we were obliged to use them. Since I view spring as the season which brings flowers and days of joy, I will never understand how a muslim brotherhood led mob could be looked upon with joy. As my wife reflects often, we were so lucky to have had the chance to travel throughout the Middle East when we did as I am not even sure I would drive from Ammon to Jarash or Petra. As you have written before I too hate muslims.

          Why spend your money on such places of folly?

          It’s not as if Greece or Rome or Egypt exist much in these Islamized places.

          Far better to bolster and support the places of the West that still linger and resound with Western civilization.

          Maybe look into Victor Davis Hanson?

  5. Ragdoll says

    Mar 4, 2018 at 3:28 pm

    I would never, ever visit any Muslim country, as a tourist or for work.

    Witholding the infidel $ / £ is one of the few peaceful weapons we have against them, especially Muslim countries like Egypt and Turkey whose economies rely on providing ‘cheap’ holidays for gullible Westerners.

      ………………..

      Ibrahim itace muhammed has made this ludicrous claim before, even though he has not been able to cite a single thing about ISIS that is *not* perfectly Islamic. In fact, he has himself affirmed that any Christians or other Infidels who have not submitted to Islam may be killed.

      • mortimer says

        Mar 4, 2018 at 4:42 pm

        Ibrahim’s head-banging on the floor has deranged him… otherwise … only the 50 generations of inbreeding can account for this total DETATCHMENT FROM REALITY.

        When Muslims have accepted that Mohammed flew to paradise on a FLYING DONKEY and SPLIT THE MOON IN TWO… they have no trouble BELIEVING THE MOST PREPOSTEROUS RUMORS !

        GROSS CREDULITY and BLIND FOLLOWING (believing the mullahs without asking for proof) are REQUIREMENTS of Islam called TAQLID.

          Ignorant mortimer, Taqlid simply means imitation in the interpretations of Islamic sources if one is not knowledgeable enough to form an independant opinion. It is not blind imitation as in mithraist christian dogmas

    Vacationing in a Muslim-majority country at this point is just plain stupid.

    I try to avoid even buying products from those countries. I sure as hell wouldn’t give them my tourist dollars AND put my life at risk in that way. I don’t need to see the pyramids that badly.

    These days it’s pretty *unwise* to travel to a lot of places.

    Places that are still okay for your relaxing vacation:

    Most of the US and Latin America. (Be picky, not Michigan, etc.) Maybe New Zealand.
    If the tropics is your thing, I recommend Costa Rica, I was there a few years ago and it was dynamite!

    I would AVOID:
    The Middle East obviously, Africa, all of the Orient for various reasons, all of Europe due to the migrant invasion, Iceland, Australia, Indonesia, islands in the Caribbean (some), India, the Philippines, Canada.
    Yup, it’s gotten pretty bad! Of course the plane alone can be the target of terrorism.

    Thankfully I’ve done my travelling and now I just relax locally, which is a blessing also.

    • Lydia Church says

      Mar 4, 2018 at 9:36 pm

      P.S. This is also a form of boycott. There are exceptions of course, like missionary work, visiting family, etc.

      Ibrahim, did you see my comment above concerning the man who tested God by entering the cage full of lions? So yes, I do believe you may have seen such an event and as incredible as it seems I do believe that some people have jumped off of cliffs and fallen into the ocean thinking that their faith in God will let them fly directly to heaven. But these people are actually testing God and are assuming they have achieved on this Earth all that God wants of them. Such people are wrong. I must agree with you that it is a form of madness. But I have to say that Muhammad displayed the same type of madness ….. only he was a bit more devious in his insanity, (having been inspired by Satan). He promised OTHERS that they would go to heaven if they risked THEIR lives (or even killed for him). And that, in my opinion, ranks Muhammad among the most despicable of all the world’s madmen.

        Ibrahim was espousing verbal diarrhoea. He flew up on a donkey.
