The line between “moderate” and “radical” Muslim continues to fade. On the question of apostasy in Islam—whether a born or converted Muslim has the right to abandon Islam for another or no religion—the radical position is well known: unrepentant apostates are to be punished with death.

“Thanks to Allah, Caliphate soldiers were able to target platoon affiliated to apostate Egyptian Armed Forces”
During Ramadan, Muslims are exhorted to renew and deepen their devotion to Allah. Hence it is a time when they’re supposed to grow more generous and kind toward their fellow Muslims. However, the Qur’an says: “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves” […]
Muslim cleric says astrologist affronts Islam, threatens him with shoe
The host has to hold back the Muslim cleric Mohammad Al-Mallah from assaulting the astrologist.

Egypt: Muslims strip 70-year-old Christian woman naked, parade her through village

The idea is that the non-Muslim community must perpetually be kept in a state of decline. A Coptic source inside Egypt […]
Downed EgyptAir jetliner had been tagged with graffiti: “We will bring this plane down”
“Three EgyptAir security officials said the threatening graffiti, which appeared about two years ago, had been the work of aviation workers at Cairo Airport. Playing on the phonetic similarity between the last two letters in the plane’s registration, SU-GCC, and the surname of Egypt’s president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, some workers also wrote ‘traitor’ and ‘murderer.’” […]

EgyptAir flight attendant posted picture on Facebook of plane crashing a year before she died in flight MS804
What a coincidence. Might Samar Ezz Eldin have been part of a jihad cell that worked to take down the plane? The possibility cannot be dismissed out of hand. “EgyptAir cabin crew posted picture of plane crashing on Facebook year before tragic flight MS804,” by Simon Robb, Metro.co.uk, May 20, 2016: A flight attendant on […]
