Egypt: Muslim attempts jihad suicide bombing at church, blows himself up when guards approach

Aug 11, 2018 4:56 pm By Robert Spencer

Egypt was conquered by Arab armies in 642. Its Islamization was accomplished, as I detail in my book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, by placing the humiliating and discriminatory regulations of dhimmitude upon the native Christian population. Those regulations had their intended effect: Egypt was 99% Christian at the time of the conquest, and is now around 10% Christian.

Those Christians who still live in Egypt are subjected to the constant threat of incidents such as this one.

Get the full shocking story of the 1400-year jihad against Egypt in The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS.

“Suicide bomber tries to attack a Coptic Christian church in Egypt only to blow himself to pieces when security guards approach,” by Debbie White, Mailonline, August 11, 2018 (thanks to Robert):

A suicide attack against a Coptic Christian church north of Cairo failed today when the bomber blew himself up when security guards approached him.

The man had been walking among churchgoers, while wearing an explosives belt, and tried to enter the building in the Mostorod district in Qaliubiya province.

But heightened security around the church prevented him from reaching his intended target, state media and security sources said.

He detonated the explosives about 250 meters (275 yards) from the church, killing himself. No other fatalities were reported.

The bomber was forced to detonate his suicide belt as a result of the heavy police presence around the church, state media reported.

He was hiding the explosives under a fluorescent vest, state-run newspaper Akhbar el-Youm said.

No group has as yet claimed responsibility for the attempted attack….

    Somehow I always think of Islamic Jihad when I see this clip from The Godfather Part Two:

    Michael Corleone

    “I saw an interesting thing happen today. A rebel was being arrested by the military police. And rather than being taken alive, he exploded a grenade he had hidden his jacket. He killed himself and he took the captain of the command with him.”….

    “But it occurred to me. The soldiers are paid to fight. The rebels aren’t.”

    Hyman Roth

    “What does that tell you?”

    Michael Corleone

    “They can win.”

      Dead men don’t “win” anything on this earth — especially when their god is demonic.

    Can’t say he failed totally. he got the ‘suicide’ part right. Islam needs more role models like him.

      This is true.

    Poetic Justice.

    And to add insult to injury the wretched islamic fascist will now be judged,not by his god “allah”….{at least according to christian beliefs but even in Judaism the judge is strongly connected with the Jews}

    But by a ..Jew {and the founder of Christianity}

    That’s not going to go well now, is it?I Imagine it must be similar to the situation all those nazi scumbags who committed suicide at the end of WW2 found themselves in:thinking they could escape Justice.

    ….only to stand before the throne of ……a Jew.

    God{not “allah”} will ALWAYS have the last say..and the last laugh.

    ………………….

    Horrifying. Just glad the Jihadist was the only casualty this time. No virgins for you…

    God’s true mission was accomplished… no church goers were hurt, and another jihadi hits the roasting flames of hell.

    • boakai ngombu says

      Aug 12, 2018 at 2:07 pm

      not exactly so, Lydia … God desires that all be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.

      the jihadi died physically guided by the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) which hates TRUTH and loves those who do not fear death – especially when it occurs in the war against kafirs.

      Triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) did protect the faithful; it was not their time.

    If the pope keeps asking more Muslims in Italy, all Italian churches will need ARMED GUARDS 24/7.

    Christians will be attacked every week in Italy as they are in Egypt.

      That will be the RC pope.
      The Copts have their own pope. Pope Tawadros II,

      The truth is…, that one of the most important German cardinals had said, ” give them all the churches
      in Germany to make mosque’s of it!”
      This is our western world full of socalled leaders.Full of shit and cowardly behavering.
      In the Netherlands were I live, there is the habit to send very young children to send to the mosque.

      That’s what islam is all about. Nothing less.

        video – the scene afterwards —( graphic )
        -the church is on the other side of the bridge — just behind the mosque
        -In Egypt crosses and bell towers of churches have to be lower than the minarets

          They tell them they won’t feel any pain and it’s true. That’s what makes them so dangerous. A sudden and painless death.

          Muslim terrorist bomber: “Oh Allah, I tried and could not get to the Christian church on time!”

          Allah: “It’s OK. You get the reward anyway. Gabriel!, bring us another package of raisins.”

    I am guessing the people of the Islime cult in Egypt are not handling things very well since the Coptic Church pronounced it does not support female genital mutilation anymore. They are disgusting vengeful gang raping pedophiles. May their ways parish for all time.

    The terrorist blew up himself , no other casualties

      If these poor stupid idiotic misfits, that have been brainwashed, only knew there is no paradise for them..only that awful lake of fire, maybe that would stop some of the mayhem they are committing…but all those centuries of being hard brainwashed from childhood through adulthood will probably never allow them to find the truth.

    Aside from the need to clean up the area, it turned out well.

    Mental illness?
    Lone wolf?
    Known to police?
    Motive unknown?

    Odd, isn’t it, how all these instant reactions are somehow missing?

    Soon there will need to be armed guards and metal detectors outside churches and cathedrals in Britain.

    That is the pattern. See synagogues in France.

    It is all part of the “fantastic contribution”.

  13. Giacomo Latta says

    Aug 12, 2018 at 2:02 pm

    It’s about both, life and death. Get your kicks ”raping the rapable” in this life or be patient and have your fill in the next.

    The “Muslim” part in tyre headline wasn’t necessary. We all know they’re the ONLY ones killing the Christians in Egypt.
