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

Egypt: Muslims murder at least four, injure 11 in bombing of tourist bus near Pyramids

Dec 29, 2018 12:56 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic jihadists generally hate tourists and tourism. In Egypt, the main attractions are artifacts of the nation’s pre-Islamic civilization, and as far as they are concerned, that is jahiliyyah, the society of unbelievers, and thus worthless trash worthy of no respect.

“At least 4 dead in Egypt tourist bus bombing near pyramids,” by Mohammed Tawfeeq and Hossam Ahmed, CNN, December 29, 2018:

Cairo (CNN)At least three Vietnamese tourists and an Egyptian tour guide were killed Friday when a roadside bomb struck a tourist bus in Egypt, Prosecutor-General Nabil Sadek announced Friday night , according to state-run Ahram Online.

The bombing took place in the Giza region near Cairo, where the pyramids are located.

At least 11 people were wounded, Sadek said. Authorities said earlier the wounded include 10 Vietnamese tourists and the Egyptian bus driver.

The incident occurred on El-Maryoutiya Street in Giza’s Haram district, where an improvised explosive device was hidden near a wall. The bomb went off when the bus went by, authorities said….

No one has claimed responsibility.

Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ahmed Hafez called the attack an act of terrorism.

“The bombing of the tourist bus in El-Maryoutiya, a despicable, cowardly terrorist act which targets what cannot be targeted: The determination of Egypt and the Egyptians,” Hafez wrote on Twitter….

      MURDER, RAPE, ENSLAVEMENT only a few of Islam’s bad stuff.
      I can hear it now…”Well you know the murder of these Four tourist does not really reflect what Islam is all about” WRONG! Murder for the sake of Islam is NOT murder in their sight and that’s what the West must understand or there will be non stop Murder…
      Friends…… Murder is murder and the sooner the West understands that murder along with all the other bad stuff in Islam is sanctioned in their writings and teachings the sooner they just might be able to reverse the thinking of those who can do something about it….
      Now people won’t like this but the West needs to put their military alongside the police, to work in their cities clean out deport and jail the bad guys and make them understand their free-run is over with…too much political correctness etc. as well as letting them over reach our religious freedoms is ruining the West…

    Only one article that I read over the past few days mentioned that the bus driver deviated from the normal route used by the tour bus. Why is no one questioning the motives and affiliations of the driver?

      @ Ed Lee…Islam is the answer to your question but those in charge can’t see it won’t see that Islam is THE PROBLEM world wide…Nothing serious in the whole world is causing major problems except islam.
      If one sees the news and one isn’t blind and deaf then one should see Islam IS THE PROBLEM…is that racist or islamophobic?? In the eyes of the elites I suppose it is.

      Plus the Sphinz was under water for a longgggg time, causing water damage 3/4 s of the way up. One suspects the original head was demolished around then.??

    This will do wonders for Egyptian tourism, especially from East Asia.

    Muslim terrorist mind stream while googling and reading:
    Kill somebody. Let people know we matter. If a few Muslims die it’s OK in the long run. They’ll pay attention when tourism drops. Muslims who lose their livelihood are heroes even though they don’t know it. We should put the crescent on top of the Great Pyramid, or just tear it down and auction off the rocks. Your kidding, there wasn’t a single white devil on that bus? The dead driver was Muslim, really? But aren’t Vietnamese people just like Thailand people who love to kill Muslims? No, well they’re definitely not Muslim. Allah, phlub, please forgive them for killing the wrong people, they were just following your commandments to the best of their ability. The Jews distracted probably distracted them.

    They should re-do it but this time kill white people, except for Canadians.

    If this keeps up, Egypt can kiss its tourist industry good-bye.

      Yes. I always wanted to see the pyramids. Was told quite recently that if I went via a tour it would be safe. Well maybe safe before, but not now. It is such a shame that one group controls the world, and has the blessings of the all the major powers of the world.

    I do not go to any muslim country unless absolutely necessary. No tourism. I advise anyone I know that the risks of attack by self appointed holy warriors is NOT worth the risk. Furthermore, unless you know where a private hospital is located and run by western trained or better yet westerners, do not go there and do not use the local healthcare system. Lack of training, lack of knowledge, lack of hygiene, lack of up to date supplies is well known.

    Jihadis target all non Muslims or Kaffirs. If you are white-European, or white east Asian you are perceptibly non Muslim. East Asians are safe at home where there are hardly any Muslims, less safe in Europe where there are many and least safe in Muslim majority countries —- Remember the Japanese newly weds who were killed at Luxor in 1997.

    Watching videos, it seems a lot of people from Slavic countries vacation in the Middle East. Maybe they feel safe because they are not Westerners? I can assure you they would love to kill an Eastern European Slav just as much as any American.

    Another Islamic TRUISM from the annals of the infidel.

    My friends 12 year old summed it up the best: He said ..”Uncle, while Hindus and Buddhists and Jains and Sikhs pray for Universal welfare and Christians even pray for sinners and those who do them wrong, Muslims are the only people who pray for the destruction of the Khafir aka non Muslim.

    The so called “expert” Robert Spencer says that this is islamists.. How can he be shure about that? This looks more like right wing satanists.
    OK, I go back to sleep.

    • Westman says

      Dec 31, 2018 at 5:02 am

      It’s simple. Islamists would have already run off or killed any right wing kafirs, so the bomb was not from Amish, republicans, gays, athiests, Christians, etc. It was a deliberate message to tourists, any tourists, since there is no national discord with Vietnam.

      Perhaps you’re unaware that Islam forbids fealty to any non-sharia-comliant nation so they don’t care if they hurt the Egyptian economy. To the Islamists, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is just another Anwar Sadat.
