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

Raymond Ibrahim: Islam’s ‘Slow Motion Genocide’ of Christians

Mar 14, 2018 5:10 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Iraqi Archbishop Bashar Warda made the following observation during a recent speech: “Having faced for 1,400 years the slow-motion genocide that began long before the ongoing ISIS genocide today, the time for excusing this inhuman behavior and its causes is long since passed.” That Muslims have cleansed non-Muslim peoples by the sword since the seventh century to the present is […]

Forget the “Terrorists,” What about Your Own Government, Mr. Sisi?

Feb 21, 2018 7:34 am By Raymond Ibrahim

It is one thing for Egyptian President Sisi not to be able to prevent surprise Islamic terror attacks against Egypt’s Christians, the Copts. But what does one make of the fact that his own government also discriminates against and persecutes the Copts? Most recently, a court sentenced 19 Muslim defendants to a one-year suspended sentence for attacking […]

Egypt: Muslims who attacked church get no jail time, Christian fined $20,383 for unlicensed church

Feb 3, 2018 10:53 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic law forbids Christians to build new churches: “The subject peoples … are forbidden to build new churches.” (Reliance of the Traveller, o11.5). Islamic law also forbids Christians to repair old ones. And so in this case, the Muslims who attacked the church get off scot-free, while the Christian who set up the unlicensed church […]

Egypt: Muslims murder Christian for having cross tattoo, vow to “kill more Copts”

Jan 17, 2018 7:08 am By Robert Spencer

The cross is an affront to Islam. The Qur’an claims that Jesus was not crucified, although in somewhat equivocal language for what is supposed to be the perfect word of an omniscient god: “And their saying, ‘Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.’ And they did not […]

Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Palestinian territories are among most dangerous places on earth for Christians

Jan 17, 2018 6:13 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Egypt, Jordan, Syria and the Palestinian territories are amongst the most dangerous places on earth for Christians, according to a new report. Another report by the European-based Catholic Charity Aid to the Church in Need reported before Christmas that Christians are the most persecuted religious group in the world, and that Christianity could be wiped out […]

Egypt: Muslim gunmen shoot and kill Christian in Sinai

Jan 15, 2018 6:00 am By Robert Spencer

Either al-Sisi cannot stop this ongoing Muslim persecution of Christians, or he will not. If he cannot, then he is a weak and ineffective ruler. If he will not, it may be that he is practicing steam control, as did Nasser, Sadat and Mubarak before him. That is, despite his affirmations of support for the […]

New report says Christians in Egypt face unprecedented persecution from Muslims

Jan 11, 2018 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

It may be that al-Sisi is practicing steam control, as did Nasser, Sadat and Mubarak before him. Despite his affirmations of support for the Christian community, he may be allowing this escalating Muslim persecution as a way to placate the pro-Muslim Brotherhood elements within Egypt, and keep them from turning against his regime. Meanwhile, Christian […]

Ancient Egyptian monastery closed and Christmas canceled

Jan 8, 2018 9:00 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Local authorities decided to close down the Saint Catherine Monastery in the Sinai Peninsula, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on January 5 and January 6, when Christmas church services are held according to the Coptic Orthodox calendar. The general directorate of tourist police further ordered all tourist companies not to lead tours to the historic monastery. Although […]

Egypt: Muslim murders two Christians in New Year attack on liquor store

Jan 1, 2018 10:43 am By Robert Spencer

The Muslim persecution of the Christians in Egypt is ongoing, but has aroused little interest in the international media and even less in the “human rights community.” The victims are of the wrong creed. “Two Christians killed in New Year attack on Egypt liquor store,” Coptic World, January 1, 2018: A gunman killed two Copts […]

Egypt: Muslims murder nine people in gun attack on church near Cairo

Dec 29, 2017 8:16 am By Robert Spencer

“According to our correspondent, the explosives belt discovered on the dead assailant suggested an even more deadly attack was planned.” Of course. It’s never enough. “Kill them wherever you find them” has neither limit nor expiration date. “Egypt attack: Nine dead in gun attack on church near Cairo,” BBC, December 29, 2017: Nine people died […]

Islamic State threatens Egyptian Christians with “a river of blood”

Dec 28, 2017 3:55 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Islamic State “has warned Christians living in Egypt that they will pay for their faith with ‘a river of blood.’” It is appalling that while Christians continue to be persecuted by jihadists, far too many Westerners are concerned instead about the victimization of Muslims in the West, which is bogus. “God gave orders to […]

Egypt: Security forces arrest 14 Muslims and three Christians over jihad attack on church

Dec 25, 2017 5:38 pm By Robert Spencer

“The incident itself was sparked by the circulation of a rumor within the village’s Muslim population that church officials were installing a bell. This led to villagers with extremist views to incite the village’s Muslims to attack the church.” That’s not “extremist views,” that’s mainstream Islam. Islamic law forbids the subjugated People of the Book […]

Egypt: Hundreds of Muslims storm church, destroy its contents, assault Christians inside it

Dec 23, 2017 12:06 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic law forbids Christians to build new churches or repair old ones. The international establishment media will take little notice of this. But imagine the international outcry if non-Muslims anywhere stormed a mosque. From the ubiquitous “Islamophobia” propaganda, one might get the impression that such things happen all the time. In reality, they never do. […]

Egypt: Muslim who hacked priest to death had been looking for “any priest” to kill

Dec 2, 2017 11:39 am By Robert Spencer

“Another day in Egypt with another Coptic Christian murdered. Why should a priest not be able to walk safely down a street?” Because to do so is “Islamophobic.” Behold the future of the U.S. and Western Europe: “Priest ‘hacked to death’ in Egypt ambush – ‘Can we not walk down a street anymore?,’” by Joey […]

Egypt: Muslim TV host says jihad massacres of Christians “okay,” but not jihad massacre in mosque

“We saw attacks by terrorists on the police and army, and we said this is mutual violence. These extremist groups have attacked churches and we said that they think it is a [different] religion, not Islam, and it is hostile to them, and then we said it is okay, but how [can these groups attack] […]

Egypt: Enraged Muslim mob of 1,000 attacks church, Christians lock themselves inside

Nov 18, 2017 9:39 am By Robert Spencer

“Churches are closed, the Coptic Christians are being attacked and their property destroyed, and there is no deterrent. The Copts always pay the price of this coexistence, not the aggressors. The reactions of officials are disappointing, and when there is any dispute or an attack, the first alternative is to close the church and put […]

Graphic video from Egypt: Muslim chases, stabs Coptic bishop to death, authorities claim killer “mentally ill”

Oct 13, 2017 5:37 pm By Robert Spencer

Yesterday Jihad Watch reported on the murder of Samaan Shehata, but the initial report was light on detail, and had some of the facts wrong. This account is much fuller. Warning: this video is graphic. A persecuted Christian from Egypt sent it to me with the note: “It is heartbreaking, not for the faint hearted.” […]

Egypt: Muslim blocks priest’s car and asks him to get out, then murders him

Oct 12, 2017 9:10 am By Robert Spencer

Daily life for Coptic Christians in Egypt is always precarious. Something like this can always happen, and often does. “Breaking: Coptic priest killed in stabbing incident in Cairo outskirts,” by Taha Sakr, Egypt Independent, October 12, 2017: A Coptic priest affiliated with a church in Upper Egypt’s governorate of Beni Suef was killed on Thursday […]
