More Islamic Jew-hatred on Egyptian television, along with a bit of 9/11 conspiracy-mongering. Note that al-‘Ashri only questions whether 9/11 was jihad because he doesn’t think Muslims did it. If he thought Muslims did it, he’d have no problem acknowledging it as jihad. Muslim spokesmen in the U.S. constantly insist that it wasn’t jihad, that […]
Newly released video — Morsi in 2010: “we must not forget to nurse our children and grandchildren on hatred towards those Zionists and Jews”
When video came out a couple of weeks ago in which he called Jews “apes and pigs” (which the Qur’an calls them in three places, 2:63-65, 5:59-60, and 7:166), Morsi said he was quoted “out of context.” Now it looks as if he is going to have more contextual issues. “Egypt’s Morsi in 2010: Obama […]
Oldest Islamic supremacist dodge in the book: Morsi says his remarks calling Jews “bloodsuckers” and “apes and pigs” were taken out of context
Just what would be a good context in which to say such things? The illustrious Muslim Brotherhood president didn’t say. But even he should be embarrassed to retail this tiredest of all the tired Islamic supremacist evasions. On the other hand, there are legions of foolish kuffar eager to buy it, so why not? “Morsi […]
Egypt: 5,000 Muslims stream out of mosques, demolish church building while chanting “Allahu akbar”
The Tiny Minority of Extremists always seems to be able to muster a violent kuffar-hating mob, without any opposition from the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims. “Muslims Demolish Church Building in Egypt,” by Mary Abdelmassih for AINA, January 16: (AINA) — Hundreds of Muslims came out of mosques today with hammers and destroyed a social […]
Egypt imprisons entire family for converting to Christianity
Muhammad said: “Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him” (Bukhari 9.84.57). The death penalty for apostasy is part of Islamic law according to all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence. But this mother and her seven children just got fifteen years in prison in brave new democratic “Arab Spring” Egypt. The criminal court of Beni […]
Egyptian historian: “Muslim Brotherhood bears much of the responsibility for the fleeing of the Jews from Egypt”
This is noteworthy not only because it is an example of an extremely rare phenomenon: a Muslim being forthright about wrongdoing by Muslims, but also because of what Fahmi says about how Islamic supremacists in 1930s Egypt blamed Jews for British colonialism. I’ve noted many times that while the pretexts and grievances that jihadists use […]
Tens of thousands of “Islamophobes” discovered in Egypt: Christians leaving country in droves in wake of Muslim Brotherhood takeover
Those Islamophobes! Don’t they realize that Islamic law is benign and tolerant? Where did the Copts get the crazy idea that the imposition of Sharia in Egypt would victimize them? “Egypt’s Coptic Christians fleeing country after Islamist takeover,” by Richard Spencer in the Telegraph, January 13 (thanks to Nicholas): Tens of thousands of Egyptian Christians […]
U.S. negotiating to sell F-16s and tanks to Egypt despite lawmakers’ objections
They will most likely be used against genuine pro-democracy protesters and/or Israel, but we are not supposed to think about that. “Higher strategic interests” are involved here. “Military source: US arms deal continuing despite lawmakers’ objections,” from DPA, January 13: Egypt’s negotiations with the US to acquire F-16 aircraft and M1A1 Abrams tanks are proceeding […]
A “Sudanese Genocide” in Egypt?
Over at FrontPage Magazine (via RaymondIbrahim.com), I discuss how the road to Sharia Egypt has taken is akin to the Sudanese pattern, which culminated in genocide for all who reject Sharia: The current tensions in Egypt between the Muslim Brotherhood-led government and a fragmented populace that includes large segments of people who oppose the Islamization […]
Egypt: Muslim preacher says Christian women should wear veils unless “they want to get raped on the streets”
This reflects the core Islamic assumption that male self-control is the female’s responsibility. She has to cover up, and if she doesn’t and gets attacked, that’s her own fault. “FEATURE-Preacher alarms many in Egypt with calls for Islamist vice police,” by Yasmine Saleh and Shaimaa Fayed for Reuters, January 9 (thanks to Block Ness): Jan […]
