Whence this hatred? The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love […]

Egypt: Muslim mobs force closure of four churches, cops arrest priests instead of attackers
“The subject peoples … are forbidden to build new churches.” (Reliance of the Traveller, o11.5). Islamic law also forbids Christians to repair existing churches.

Egypt: Police officer killed while defusing jihad bomb outside church
Christians in Egypt live a precarious existence. They’re victimized by jihadis fairly regularly, and never know when or where it may happen.

A day after jihadis murder four tourists, Vatican ambassador to Egypt says “dialogue” prevents terrorism
“The absence of dialogue between Al-Azhar and Vatican is the greatest gift for terrorism, Musarò added.” He said that on December 29. “Two Vietnamese tourists were killed earlier on Dec. 28 and ten others were injured in a tourist bus explosion in Marioteya district, near Giza governorate.” Apparently the jihadis who killed those tourists didn’t […]
Egypt: Muslims murder at least four, injure 11 in bombing of tourist bus near Pyramids
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 […]

Egypt’s el-Sisi: “If you go to a country that welcomes you, you must respect its laws, traditions and culture”
A remarkably clear-sighted and honest statement. Be sure to read it all. If a European leader spoke this way, he would be excoriated as a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” “Immigration: El Sissi more honest than Macron, Merkel and Trudeau,” translated from “Immigration: El Sissi plus honnête que Macron, Merkel et Trudeau,” Dreuz.info, December 9, 2018 (thanks […]
Egypt’s silent epidemic: Christian girls kidnapped by Muslim gangs to strengthen Islam and weaken Christianity
“Once a victim is delivered to a radical Islamist organization, he explained, her price tag, payable to the kidnappers, is big money in a cash-strapped country like Egypt. The kidnappers are happy with their share of the loot. However, their radical Islamist handlers have a ‘higher’ aim: to strengthen Islam and weaken Christianity.” The kidnappers […]
