“I can’t remember such dirty behavior in sports”: Israeli wrestler attacked by Egyptian rival
“I felt some kind of hatred towards me and I don’t know why…” Maybe because the Qur’an designates the Jews as the worst enemies of Muslims (5:82) and says they are under Allah’s curse (9:30). “Israeli wrestler attacked by Egyptian rival,” by Oren Aharoni for Ynet News, June 2: Israeli wrestler Ilana Kartysh won a […]
Egypt: Three women murdered in Islamic honor killing
Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. A manual of Islamic law certified as a reliable guide to Sunni orthodoxy by Al-Azhar University, the most respected authority in Sunni Islam, says that “retaliation is obligatory against anyone who kills a human being purely intentionally and without right.” However, “not subject to retaliation” is “a […]
Egypt: Anti-Morsi petition gathers over 2 million signatures
This is a staggering number in a country in which the electorate numbers fifty million. It is a manifestation of the widespread Egyptian discontent with the Muslim Brotherhood and Sharia rule.

Egypt: Over 20,000 Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” attack Christian church with birdshot and bricks
More fruit of the glorious Obama-endorsed “Arab Spring.” And look at how the Associated Press covered this atrocity. “Two Christian Churches in Egypt Attacked By Muslims This Week,” by Mary Abdelmassih for AINA, May 18: (AINA) — The escalation of Muslim attacks on Christian churches in Egypt continues unabated. This week two attacks were carried […]
Egypt: One Christian dead as Muslims attack Christians yet again
This AP story suggests that both sides threw birdshot and Molotov cocktails and that the Christians began the conflict, but this is wildly unlikely. Muslim mobs brutalize Christians in Egypt on an increasingly frequent basis. The Christian community is small and embattled and doesn’t go around picking fights. “Egypt Muslim-Christian Clashes Leave 1 Dead,” from […]
Egyptian Muslim cleric: “Oh Allah, annihilate the Jews”
They are the worst enemies of the Muslims (cf. Qur’an 5:82). So this is not unexpected. What is worst about it is that the international media and “human rights community” will not even bat an eye. But imagine if a Christian cleric said something even a tenth this hateful and evil — it would be […]
Egypt: Muslim mob attacks Christians and their businesses
The Copts have to know their place: as dhimmis, subservient to the Muslims. That is their place in the new, Obama-endorsed Muslim Brotherhood Egypt. If they don’t accept it, the mobs will come. “Mob Attack Copts and their Businesses in Northern Egypt,” from the Christian Post, May 15 (thanks to AINA): Coptic-owned businesses and pharmacies […]
