Sheik in Egypt Says: “if the Christians make problems for the Muslims, I will exterminate them. I am guided by the shari’a”

This is the so-called "religion of peace". Huh. How are we of other faiths supposed to negotiate with such a narrow-minded intolerant people? 

Q: “But we Egyptians have never regarded the Christians as infidels. [In fact,] many of us have Christian friends even closer than our Muslim friends.”

Shehato: “As a Muslim, I must support the Muslim and oppose the Christian. If there is a Christian who does me no harm, I will maintain limited contact with him. Islam [discusses] certain degrees of contact with the Christian, namely: keeping promises [that were made him], dealing honestly with him, treating him kindly, and befriending him. The first three are allowed, but the fourth [i.e., befriending the Christian] is deemed dangerous, for it contravenes the verse that says, ‘O you who believe! Do not take my enemy and your enemy for friends: would you offer them love while they deny what has come to you of the truth’ [Koran 60:1]. It is inconceivable that they should serve in judiciary or executive posts, for instance in the army or the police.”

Q: “Are you against blowing up churches?”

Shehato: “Yes and no. The Christian is free to worship his god in his church, but if the Christians make problems for the Muslims, I will exterminate them. I am guided by the shari’a, and it stipulates that they must pay the jizya tax while in a state of humiliation…”

Q: “These positions of yours frighten us, as Egyptians.”

Shehato: “I will not act [in ways] that contradict my faith just in order to please the people… We say to the Christians, convert to Islam or pay the jizya, otherwise we will fight you. The shari’a is not based on [human] logic but on divine law. That is why we oppose universal, manmade constitutions.”

If the Muslims Rise to Power in Egypt, They Will Form Muslim Battalions to Enforce the Shari’a Worldwide

Q: “If you rise to power in Egypt, will you launch a campaign of Islamic conquest?”

Shehato: “Of course we will launch a campaign of Islamic conquest, throughout the world. As soon as the Muslims and Islam control Egypt and implement the shari’a [there], we will turn to the neighboring regions, [such as] Libya [to the west] and Sudan to the south. All the Muslims in the world who wish to see the shari’a implemented worldwide will join the Egyptian army in order to form Islamic battalions, whose task will be to bring about the victory of [our] faith. We hope that, with Allah’s help, Egypt will be the spark [that sets off this process]…”

Q: “You said that you endorse the ideology of Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri. Does this mean that your way of implementing shari’a in Egypt will be through violence and war, like their [way]?”

Shehato: “No, we will implement the shari’a through da’wa [preaching], while violence will be directed only at the infidel Arab rulers. In their case, there is no choice but to use force, though the shari’a does not call it ‘violence’ but ‘jihad for the sake of Allah.’ There is no other way… because they have power and weapons…”

FYI, U.S. taxpayers have wasted given upwards of $64 BILLION in taxpayer dollars to Egypt - the majority for military assistance. When one reads Shehato, and this US lawmaker, it sure sounds like jizya.

Robert Spencer debates Moustafa Zayed: "Does Islam Guarantee Women Equality of Rights with Men?"

Robert Spencer does a great job in this debate. He stays on topic and refutes the Imam's misinformation about how women are to be viewed and treated according to Islam.  The last quarter of the video consists of a questions and answers session following the debate.

U.S. Government Treats Koran as "Holy" and the Bible as "Trash" What?!?

This is despicable!! Our government should not be treating the Christian holy book, the bible, as if it was garbage that needed to be thrown out.  That shows an utter lack of respect for Christians and Christians holy book. The U.S. government had many options when deciding what to do with the bibles but yet they treat it as trash?  WTH??? Muslims are so "tolerant" that they won't allow another religious text or holy book to be handed out in the countries where they live, and if that had happened Muslims would have most likely turned to violence to express their discontent because their religious beliefs would have been challenged.  It is so absurd how our military is being forced to bow to Muslims intolerance.  We should not be accommodating Muslims intolerance.  We are supposed to be spreading principles of freedom and certain rights for individuals in the countries that we are helping and not aiding in the spread of their intolerance. The U.S. is not supposed to choose favorites with religious texts or religions. The constitution affords every person the right to freedom of religion and our government has no right to cherry pick which religion deserves special treatment and is holier, better, or more legitimate according to them.  We need to keep on speaking out against this intolerance being perpetrated against Christians or else there is a great chance that all of our religious rights will be stripped away before you know it.  Staying silent would essentially be aiding in the attacks against Christians. Silence is not an option. Freedom of speech and freedom of religion is essential to our Republic and must be defended.

Islamists Scream "Allahu Akbar" Outside Coptic Church After New Year's Blast

Gates of Vienna reported this from AINA:

The car explosion that went off in front of Saints Coptic Orthodox Church in Alexandria killed 21 and injured 96 parishioners who were attending a New Year’s Eve Mass. According to church officials and eyewitnesses, there are many more victims that are still unidentified and whose body parts were strewn all over the street outside the church. The body parts were covered with newspapers until they were brought inside the church after some Muslims started stepping on them and chanting Jihadi chants (video showing dead bodies and limbs covered with newspapers in the street).

According to eyewitnesses, a green Skoda car pulled up outside the church shortly after midnight. Two men got out, one of them talked shortly on his mobile phone, and the explosion occurred almost immediately after they left the scene. On the back of the Skoda was a sticker with the words “the rest is coming” (video of car explosion and Muslims shouting “Allah Akbar”).

This is evil, pure evil. I am praying for those who were killed and for the healing of those who were injured. May justice prevail and retribution be fulfilled.
