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

Egypt: Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” throw bricks at Christian homes over Facebook post showing “contempt to Islam”

Jul 11, 2018 2:45 pm By Robert Spencer

The Muslims also chanted: “We will displace you and the priest from our village, oh kaffir [infidels], oh the worshipers of the cross, oh defiled people.’”

One Copt recounted: “We lived very terrible moments while the mob were attacking our homes. Our children were screaming. All of us have stayed in our homes. We are afraid to get out to the village streets. There is a state of panic and fear among all of us here. I cannot open my shop. Despite the presence of security forces in the village, we are still receiving threats from our Muslim neighbours. They say they will take revenge on all of us as soon as the security forces leave the village. We are afraid that they will attack us this Friday after their noon prayers.”

That’s very possible, since they would consider such an attack to be a pious act, pleasing to Allah. Islam mandates death for non-Muslim subjects of the Islamic state who mention “something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam” (Reliance of the Traveller, o11.10), and such laws are based upon passages in the Hadith and Sira in which Muhammad orders the murders of people who have insulted him.

These include Abu Afak, who was over one hundred years old, and the poetess Asma bint Marwan. Abu Afak was killed in his sleep, in response to Muhammad’s question, “Who will avenge me on this scoundrel?” Similarly, Muhammad on another occasion cried out, “Will no one rid me of this daughter of Marwan?” One of his followers, Umayr ibn Adi, went to her house that night, where he found her sleeping next to her children. The youngest, a nursing babe, was in her arms. But that didn’t stop Umayr from murdering her and the baby as well. Muhammad commended him: “You have done a great service to Allah and His Messenger, Umayr!” (Ibn Ishaq, 674-676)

Then there was Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf. Muhammad asked: “Who is willing to kill Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?” One of the Muslims, Muhammad
bin Maslama answered, “O Allah’s Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?” When Muhammad said that he would, Muhammad bin Maslama said, “Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab).” Muhammad responded: “You may say it.” Muhammad bin Maslama duly lied to Ka’b, luring him into his trap, and murdered him. (Sahih Bukhari, volume 5, book 59, number 369)

“Egypt: Copts attacked after Facebook post showing ‘contempt of Islam,’” World Watch Monitor, July 11, 2018:

…Monday’s attack took place after Muslim villagers in Menbal, which has a population of 45,000, 30% of whom are Copts, accused a Coptic Christian of publishing a post on his Facebook page that insulted Islam, said the source, who did not wish to be named. In his post, published last Thursday (5 July), the 35-year-old Abdo Adel had compared Islam’s prophet, Muhammad, with Jesus.

The Muslim villagers filed a complaint with the police in the nearby city of Matay. Adel was arrested the following day (Friday 6 July) on charges of insulting Muhammad and contempt of Islam. He was put in custody pending further investigation.

On the day of his arrest, a group of young Muslim men tried to attack his house and had to be dispersed by police who were guarding the Copt’s home, according to the source.

‘We will displace you’

Three days later, on Monday evening, the police were called in at 11.30pm because a mob was attacking Copts and their properties in the village.

“The Muslim extremists in our village and the nearby villages incited the Muslim villagers against us …. They began pelting the Coptic-owned houses with stones and bricks, while shouting ‘Allahu akbar’ [Allah is the greatest] and chanting slogans against Copts, such as ‘We will displace you and the priest from our village, oh kaffir [infidels], oh the worshipers of the cross, oh defiled people’,” Girgis Shawky, a 32-year-old resident told World Watch Monitor.

Windows were smashed and some of the Copts sustained minor injuries. The attackers also attempted to break into the St. Tadros Church and the house of the priest, Fr. Makarious El-Kommas Antoun, but security personnel who were guarding the properties stopped them by firing in the air, he said….

“We lived very terrible moments while the mob were attacking our homes. Our children were screaming,” said Hany Adly, a Copt who owns an electrical-supplies shop in the village.

“All of us [Copts] have stayed in our homes. We are afraid to get out to the village streets. There is a state of panic and fear among all of us here. I cannot open my shop. Despite the presence of security forces in the village, we are still receiving threats from our Muslim neighbours. They say they will take revenge on all of us as soon as the security forces leave the village. We are afraid that they will attack us this Friday after their noon prayers.”…

Meanwhile, Fr. Antoun posted a formal apology on his Facebook page on Friday, saying: “We strongly denounce what was published on the Facebook page of this man, which is understood as an abuse to our Muslim brothers.” However, he added: “We do not accept this abuse. May God protect our country from evil.”

    When will the inhumanity end?

      it certainly will not end.

      although followers of the exemplar to mankind, Muhammad (lately contrived; full of lusts; having no compassion) say that it will end when all is submitted to the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) … that will never happen

      Egyptian followers of the FRONTAL-LOBE EPILEPTIC MOHAMMED prove the thesis of Robert Spencer: that ISLAM MANDATES EXTERMINATING WARFARE AGAINST THE DISBELIEVING KUFAAR.

      Koran 8.60: “TURHIBUNNA” (terrorize them).

    “The truth hurts.” And moslims are allergic to truth and to the pain it causes them. So, to sticks and stones they turn rather than turn to the truth. satan’s slaves, they are, and only lies satisfy them.

      somehistory says ‘allergic to the truth’. Archeology demolishes Islam because there were FOUR QIBLAS when there should be only two in early mosques.

      This proves that Islam’s foundational narrative is UNBELIEVABLE. Therefore, Muslims may abandon Islam with confidence.

        Yeah, except for that whole “Whoever changes his islamic religion, then kill him” thing.

    Egypt: Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” throw bricks at Christian homes over Facebook post showing “contempt to Islam”
    …………………………..

    Several things here: note the collective punishment. The entire Christian community is attacked.

    Then, that the victims especially fear the period after Friday prayers–since the Imam will probably preach an attack on Christians. This is *always* a dangerous time for Infidels in Muslim lands.

    Then, the lack of freedom of speech in a Muslim state–a man is arrested for a peaceful Facebook post. Muslims reported this to the police.

    Will any Muslims be arrested for attacking Christians? Highly unlikely…

      Muslim mobs have attacked over young guys being told not to skinny dip where Coptic women could see them.

      Expect this to just go to reconciliation (community mediation)

      • gravenimage says

        Jul 12, 2018 at 12:28 am

        I know what such “mediation” is like–the victims are told that they are as responsible as those attacking.

    Show contempt and disgust of islam. Islam deserves it.

    • mortimer says

      Jul 11, 2018 at 10:16 pm

      Ren, there is no moral, logical or historical argument with which Islam may be defended. Because Islam is so mentally and morally sick, a thoughtful Muslims should abandon it with confidence … especially after reading THE HISTORY OF JIHAD by Robert Spencer.

        @mortimer

        The biggest enigma is that a billion people still adhere to a doctrine of disgust.

    The Copts should be able to ask for asylum in the West. They are millions and in that way it would be demonstrated that xenophobia and racism is not the biggest problem ….. I prefer that black atheists / Christians / animists come to live in my city than blue-eyed blond Chechen Muslims.

      Yes–this is not about race.

    Islam is a contemptuous geopolitical system that thinks its a relidgion , its not at all . They are brainless humans that are demon possessed people trying to kill you ! Throw them all out of the country now !

    Islam is so evil. It makes me sick how most in the West believe the lie about Islam being a “religion of peace.” It is NOT.
