Muslim Brotherhood's Reprisal's on Coptic Christians

EGYPT'S COPTIC CHRISTIANS FACE UNPRECEDENTED REPRISALS FROM THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD


 


Islamists have been assaulting Coptic Christians since the 2011 revolution that overthrew the dictator Mubarak.  Islamist mobs have torched schools and businesses owned by Christians and looted churches throughout country.  This violent campaign of killing and arson only intensified after the military coup that ousted President Mohammed Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood government. The Muslim Brotherhood were the ones who called for aggression against Christians. They are responsible," said the Rev. Khalil Fawzi, a pastor at Kasr El Dubarrah Evangelical Church, “Either they are in control or they burn Egypt.”  


In the seven weeks following Morsi’s oust form power, his supporters have burned at least 44 churches and ransacked more than 20 Christian institutions throughout Egypt.  The most shocking assault against Christians occurred at a Roman Catholic school in the Bani Suef province south of Cairo when Islamists captured three nuns & several school employees. The extremists "paraded us like prisoners of war," said Sister Manal.  After six hours of abuse, they escaped from the mob and a Muslim woman who taught at the school sheltered them in her home.

Human rights advocates criticize the Egyptian police and military for failing to protect Christians.  "The police have never come to protect the churches or to respond after the attacks," said Ishak Ibrahim, a researcher who is tracking the attacks on the Christian community for the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, a Cairo-based nonprofit. "Also, no firetrucks have been sent."  These attacks by Islamists and inaction by Egyptian police still continues today.

Apartheid in the Middle East

THE MIDDLE EAST'S REAL APARTHEID By Efraim Karsh "Israel Apartheid Week his cities and campuses throughout the world.  This charge, of course, is not only completely false, but the inverse of the truth.  If apartheid is indeed a crime against humanity, Israel is actually the only apartheid-free state in the Middle East.  By contrast, apartheid has been an integral part of the Middle East for over a millennium, and the Arab Muslim nations continue to legally, politically, and socially enforce this discriminatory practice against their hapless minorities. Religious Intolerance:  Muslims historically viewed themselves as distinct from, and superior to, all non-Muslims.  Non-Muslims, known in history as "Dhimmis," never enjoyed equal rights under Islam.  Even non-ruling Muslim factions have been historically oppressed by their dominant co-religionists Ethnic inequality:  This legacy of intolerance extends beyond the religious sphere...

Palestinian Arabs Confess that Arab Leaders Created the Palestinian Refugees

Image
Former PLO Terrorist Tass Saada was born  in a tent in a refugee camp in Gaza City in 1951.   Prior to the outbreak of the 1948 War, his father co-owned an Orange Grove in Jaffa with a Jewish friend and business partner.  When the 1948 War broke out, his father's friend and business partner begged him not to leave, pleading with him to stay and wait until the fighting ended to make his decision.   Unfortunately, Tass's father followed the orders of the Arab governments of Jordan, Syria, & Egypt and “stepped aside” so the Arab League could drive the Zionists into the sea.   These leaders told the "Palestinian Arabs via radio, leaflets, and numerous other outlets to leave their homes and make room for the Arab combat legions to get through, assuring them that they would return to their homes after their victory.   As a result, over 700,000 Arabs became displaced, and most of their descendants have remained displaced due to the cruel polic...

Khartoum 1967: No Peace, No Recognition, & No Negotiation

Image
After Israel's victory over the Arab Nations in June of 1967, the Arab nations called for a summit in Khartoum in September 1st, 1967.  Representatives from the Arab Nations of Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, and the Sudan met to discuss their policy with Israel.  The decision, was simple & to the point: "No Peace, No Recognition, No Negotiation."  Time and again, Israel offered land back in exchange for lasting peace, and the response has always been the same: No.  It would make no difference if Israel was willing to give back all of the West Bank and Gaza in order to create another Arab State; the war against Israel would continue until Israel no longer existed.   When some nations tried later to defy the "Three No's" the responses where brutal.  Anwar Sadat, the Egyptian President who made peace with Israel, was soon assassinated after doing so and Egypt was expelled from the Arab League.  Yaser Arafat himself stat...
