Egypt: Muslim tries to kill Christian, says he did not know the victim, but hated him for being Christian

Mar 31, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the fire of hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the most vile of created beings.” (Qur’an 98:6)

“Muhammad is the apostle of Allah. Those who follow him are ruthless to unbelievers, merciful to one another.” (Qur’an 48:29)

“Man who stabbed Copt referred to criminal court,” by Nader Shukry, WataniNet, February 12, 2020:

A man who admitted to an attempt to slaughter a Copt, and who was referred to the Misdemeanours Court has been referred to the Criminal Court instead.

Muhammad Awad, 32, a bearded Muslim, had on the evening of 14 January 2020 approached the Copt Rafiq Karam, 56, who was then sitting at the vehicle paintshop which he owns in the district of al-Marg, northeast Cairo. Cursing Christians and branding them “sons of Lot”, Mr Awad tried to slit Mr Karam’s throat with a cutter, and ended up causing him a 7-centimetre gash from the ear to the front of his throat. Locals rushed to move Mr Karam to hospital where his wound was stitched and he was given the necessary treatment.

Mr Awad was caught and handed to the police. He admitted to attempting to kill Mr Karam who he said he did not personally know, but hated him for being a Christian. Copts, he said, were “sinful sons of Lot” who warranted execution according to Islamic hudoud. Hudoud are legal Islamic penalties that must be meted for certain crimes; in this case, according to Mr Awad, the penalty was death. Mr Awad said he hated “al-Nassara” which literally means Nazarenes and is commonly used as a derogatory term to denote Christians. He said he never knew Mr Karam, but assaulted him on account of his infidel Christian religion….

    Wouldn’t it be amazing if one could be swallowed up by hate in the literal sense.

      A pious, practicing Muslim who observes Islam’s teaching of hatred … AL WALAA WAL BARAA …

      Mr Awad said he hated “al-Nassara” … (and) assaulted Mr. Karam on account of his infidel religion.

      Awad is implementing AL WALAA WAL BARAA the motivating PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGIOUSLY-SOURCED HATE that is normative Islam.

      -Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed (Islamic faith) and act upon it, and yet not be HOSTILE against the mushrikeen (i.e. wrong worshippers). So anyone who isn’t HOSTILE against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]

      – “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.” – from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”

      -“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca.

      – Dr. Muhammad Saeed Al-Qahtaani said: “Thus, it is clear that Al-Wala’ Wal-Bara calls on Muslims to “love” their fellow Muslims and hate the non-Muslim (or Kafir).”

      – from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show ANIMOSITY and HATRED towards disbelievers and NEVER support them.”

      – “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as ENEMIES and HATE them because of their kufr (wrong belief), just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.” – from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”

      – “As a Muslim, I must have hatred for anything non-Islam” – Anjem Choudary.

    Where does the Bible say Lot had any sons? I see that he had only two daughters. Also, don’t Muslims consider Lot to be a prophet? Why would it be shameful to be his son? Did Muhammad say that Lot had sons who were gay? What? That’s something new to me.

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      Mar 31, 2020 at 1:14 pm

      Okay, now I get it. After Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed Lot’s daughters had sex with their father while he was drunk … because they thought they were the last women left on Earth and Lot was the last man. Still, they call him a prophet though.

      • CogitoErgoSum says

        Mar 31, 2020 at 2:07 pm

        I keep trying to understand the reference to Christians as being “sons of Lot.” So Muslims believe that Lot was a prophet and prophets are outstanding examples of moral behavior. Therefore, Muslims would not believe that Lot would ever have become drunk and definitely would never have had sex with his daughters. So in the mind of a Muslim the part in the Bible that says such things did happened is a corruption. So a Muslim would not believe such a story about Lot is true … yet he is calling Christians the sons of Lot as if it were true. So that leaves me still confused about his use of “sons of Lot” as an insult. The Muslim mindset is a hard one a for non-Muslim to understand.

          CogitoErgoSum, Lot is supposed to have had two sons with his his daughters–Moab and Ben-Ammi, the father of the people of Ammon.

          The Israelites did have some conflict with the people of Moab and those of Ammon at some points, but this was pretty minor–and I don’t recall there being any record of this in any Islamic texts.

          My guess is that–even though this makes no sense at all given Lot’s role re Sodom and Gomorrah–that “sinful sons of Lot” is some sort of implication that Christians are all homosexual.

          Muslims frequently misunderstand Christianity–but this does not prevent Muslims from murdering Christians over this ignorance.

        • CogitoErgoSum says

          Mar 31, 2020 at 10:17 pm

          Thanks, graven. I missed that. Yes, the Bible does say the daughters each had a son and it seems as if Lot was their father. I still can’t figure out how that makes those sons (or their descendants) Christians or homosexuals. I thought Muhammad said everyone is born a Muslim … so I guess Lot didn’t raise his children right (or grandchildren or whatever) and that makes Lot look bad as a prophet. Strange way for a Muslim to honor one of his prophets.

          Thanks for your reply, CogitoErgoSum. Muslims have never been known for their logic, of course.

          CES, You wrote (later) that “Muhammad said everyone is born a Muslim”.

          This illustrates once again just how idiotic Islam is. The cerebral cortex of a new-born baby is virtually a ‘clean slate’, with very few if any memories stored or understood by the child. Given that religion is a system of belief, it requires that a person’s mind be a veritable storehouse of memories about supernatural concepts, tenets and rituals – and in the case of Islam, political ideology – which are necessary to form a belief system. Normally, that is not possible until a person reaches a level of cognitive and emotional maturity.

          However, religions don’t employ that approach; they short-circuit the normal learning process with indoctrination – teaching concepts which the child can neither understand nor refute. And of course, Islam is the worst of all because combined with the supernatural concepts upon which all religions rely, it also includes its own odious hatred and violence against unbelievers.

          Sadly, Muhammad was wrong once again. Innately, no one can be born a Muslim – or an adherent of any other religion or belief system – because, although all religions are faiths, they require a degree of personal or individual acceptance by the believer. And that is simply impossible for a new-born child. Otherwise why wait until the child is more mature before they are formally accepted into the faith?

          The world would be much better off without Muhammad’s medieval madness.

          Aussie Infidel says,

          “…religions…short-circuit the normal learning process with indoctrination – teaching concepts which the child can neither understand nor refute.”

          That is a true statement. I was personally brought up in a traditional Christian household. The biggest thing that I got out of it where the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

          As I got older. I was certainly free to leave Christianity for something else.

          I did not, but I had the choice.

          I also find other religions interesting – with the exception of islam – and I have had friends and coworkers, etc. from other faiths – with the exception of muslims.

          Contrast that with islam. Very difficult to leave that religious/political ideology in the West, impossible in islamic republics.

          The only way that you can leave islam in a country like say Pakistan, is in a pine box.

    “Egypt: Muslim tries to kill Christian, says he did not know the victim, but hated him for being Christian”.

    Well, that should make us all optimistic for the future of the Great Multicultural Society.

    • FYI says

      You could easily replace the word Christian:

      “Muslim tries to kill…”…Hindu/Buddhist/Sikh/Jain/Jew/Atheist/Wiccan pagans/ex-muslim “Apostates”…as ALL are considered infidels in islam.

      “Diversity is our strength” the Lefties,Treasonous politicians,UN immigration czars ,Mr Soros and the “open border” Globalists keep telling us.

      ALL non-muslims are classed as “infidels”:allowing mass islamic immigration into our countries increases the threat of violence and hatred towards “infidels”.

    That pretty much sums it up. Just glad he did not succeed.

    If assaulting and murdering a Copt is an act of worship then Awad is the wrong worshiper. Awad hypocrisy.

    Islam the religion of love and peace? Can’t find much love among its members other than they love to KILL and RAPE. If this is the face of diversity, multiculturalism its not vary appealing and I rather have a country that puts freedom of thought first. Islam is anything but freedom.
