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

Egypt: Muslim with Qur’an and “sharp tool” attacks Christians while screaming “Allahu akbar”

Nov 16, 2018 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Nothing that a little “interfaith dialogue” won’t fix, no?

“Christianity crackdown: Horror as ‘man with sharp tool’ attacks prayer service – ‘Awful,’” by Tom Nellist, Express, November 15, 2018:

CHRISTIANS in Egypt were attacked during a prayer service by a man wielding a “sharp tool” and shouting Islamic slogans.

According to Egyptian Sunday newspaper Watani, based in Cairo, and human rights NGO International Christian Concern (ICC), two people were injured in the violence, which is the latest in a string of anti-Christian attacks.

ICC said a 22-year-old man injured two Christians who were attending the Church of St George in the Egyptian capital.

The man is said to have been shouting Islamic slogans before police rushed to the scene and arrested him.

ICC said local Christians have criticised the Egyptian authorities explanation that the man carried out the attack because of mental health problems and drug use.

They say the claim is “an attempt to hide Islamic extremism” in Egypt.

The man reportedly entered the church through a side room in which clergy baked bread for use in services.

He struck a baker on the head with an iron rod while shouting “Allah is great”.

When another Christian tried to help, he was also injured.

Ehad, a Christian worshipper in Egypt, told ICC: “The media uses words which don’t reveal the truth.

“Now we have discovered that this was a young man, not an old one.

“Also, he was holding a Koran and sharp tool, injuring some people on their heads.

“The media’s role is to reveal the reality and not to hide information to make the Coptic Christians calm down.”…

    The Egyptian media are complicit in covering up RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION when the job of the media is to REVEAL THE FACTS to people so they the electorate may be fully informed on political issues in order to elect representatives who can make WISE DECISIONS that will solve the problems and promote order, prosperity and human rights.

    If there are not HUMAN RIGHTS in Egypt, Egypt will NOT be PROSPEROUS.

      Mortimer, I’m afraid this is only the job of the press in civilized nations–not in Dar-al-Islam, where promulgating Islam heads the list, shortly followed by propping up the regime in power.

    Say what you want about Egypt, their media is actually on par with first world media outlets…

      The Egyptian media is not in par with the first world media outlets. The Egyptian media is known among Egyptians as of low credibility and overly biased and prejudiced with the political regime objectives. Most of the Egyptians main stream news outlets lost their credibility after Jan. 25 revolution after they had showed their ugly face.

    This is what Islam is and have always been! Try to listen to this extraordinary realistic presentation of Islam without saying nothing derogatory on the Muslims.

      i prefer not to watch videos; text gets the message across with much less bandwidth. as muhammed (excuse me, allah … forgot myself for a moment there) said, the quran is very clear, so there is no need to “look for a deeper meaning.” it says what its words mean when taken at face value, or allah lied about the quran. allah says that muhammed is a good example for muslims to follow, furthermore, the kutub alsittah goes into great detail about muhammed’s behavior for that very reason: so that muslims will know how to act in all circumstances. and according to the kutub alsittah, muhammed was a rapist, a slaver, a mass murderer, and liked to rape little girls, calling it marriage. if U are muslim and say that muhammed didn’t do those things, then U are calling much more than half of all islamic scripture into question, which is blasphemy. and they don’t smack U with miswaks for blasphemy. OTOH, if U are *lying* to promote the cause of islam and the ummah, then U are beloved of allah, and are simply telling holy lies to mislead infidels so that they will let down their guard so that they can be attacked and killed – exactly what pervert muhammed (s**t be in his face) did.

      maybe mo shouldn’t have had the rules for the cult written down; then pious muslim holy lies would be more difficult to disprove. either that, or the ulema should never have allowed islamic scripture to be translated into *any* other language. too late now, though, dude; islam is 1000 kg. of s**t with no bag to contain the stench.

        I am with the wonderful Christians from Egypt who suffer for 14 centuries the islamic suppression.
        Once again sorry for the mistake,

    Egypt: Muslim with Qur’an and “sharp tool” attacks Christians while screaming “Allahu akbar”
    …………………..

    This is how Islam works–a Qur’an in one hand, a sword in the other.

    Here’s a little Muslim child with a Qur’an and a large knife:

    And if the Christians had tried to defend themselves, *they* would have been arrested by Egyptian police. This has happened there before.

    Clearly he’s not the sharpest tool in the box.

    And he had a koran: revealed in that ‘holy’ book is koran 5:46 “We gave to Jesus the Gospel wherein are guidance and a light”

    Like most moslems he probbaly doesn’t get that.

    There are very few sharp tools in the box of islam.

    Folks, are you aware of the fact that the media in Egypt as in all Muslim countries is a government’s voice. In other words it is censored. The terrorists CONTINUE their criminal Islamic attacks against the Christians.
    Nothing changes. El Sisi is Muslim. The difference from his predecessor is that he is sneaky politician. He uses sweet empty words, and goes to the cathedral on Christmas eve to WISH Merry Christmas to the naïve Copts, meanwhile, he keep close eyes at the atrocities against them. He does not fool me.

    These muslim attackers clearly do have mental problems, but that is definitely not a excuse for their insane attacks.The cause of the problem is of course, the Koran. The cure is banning the sale of the book because it preaches Hatred.

    If only mulisms would see the light.
