"For some pious Muslims in Egypt today, the act of repairing a church is a flagrant provocation, a breach of the peace, which amounts to a deliberate revocation of one's right to exist in the land." As such, it "becomes a legitimate topic for sermons in the mosque (where) the faithful are urged ... to uphold the honor of Islam." In Islamic terms, then, the destruction of the church is no injustice, as Durie writes. It is "even a duty to destroy the church and even the lives of Christians who have the temerity to repair their churches."

The sxriptures teach, you repair with the trowel in one hand and hold a sword in the other.

So refreshing to see the MSM politely posing these issues to our politicians, from both sides of the aisle, for their comment. /sarc

PC has destroyed civil discourse on any contentious matter as it was designed to do. That leaves us rushing to our doom with the Left standing to the side, braying their approval and not realizing that they will be caught up in the inevitable conflagration along with the rest of us.

Destruction of Copts Is Islamically CorrectOf course it is. And I don't need images, books, or anything else.

What part of, "KILL THE INFIDEL," is hard to understand?

If you're not a Moslem, they will kill you. Simple.

the cross irritates Muslims and their children

And many people in this country as well.

The Egyptian Copts are remnants of the very early Christian Church, even earlier than the Christian church which came to being under Emperor Constantine. The Muslim religion came 600+ years after the Coptic religion.

Ten percent of Egypt’s people are Copts and their survival this long has to be a miracle of God as they have been persecuted by the Christian church as begun by Constantine and later when the Muslims took Egypt and North Africa. The miracle is wearing thin as the Salafists or Muslim extremists of Egypt are killing Copts every day. The military government is not protecting the Copts at all.

THE PACT OF UMAR

In the name of God, the Merciful and Compassionate. This is a letter to the servant of God Umar [ibn al-Khattab], Commander of the Faithful, from the Christians of such-and-such a city. When you came against us, we asked you for safe-conduct (aman) for ourselves, our descendants, our property, and the people of our community, and we undertook the following obligations toward you:

We shall not build, in our cities or in their neighborhood, new monasteries, Churches, convents, or monks’ cells, nor shall we repair, by day or by night, such of them as fall in ruins or are situated in the quarters of the Muslims.

We shall keep our gates wide open for passersby and travelers. We shall give board and lodging to all Muslims who pass our way for three days.

We shall not give shelter in our churches or in our dwellings to any spy, nor bide him from the Muslims.

We shall not teach the Qur’an to our children.

We shall not manifest our religion publicly nor convert anyone to it. We shall not prevent any of our kin from entering Islam if they wish it.

We shall show respect toward the Muslims, and we shall rise from our seats when they wish to sit.

We shall not seek to resemble the Muslims by imitating any of their garments, the qalansuwa, the turban, footwear, or the parting of the hair. We shall not speak as they do, nor shall we adopt their kunyas.

We shall not mount on saddles, nor shall we gird swords nor bear any kind of arms nor carry them on our- persons.

We shall not engrave Arabic inscriptions on our seals.

We shall not sell fermented drinks.

We shall clip the fronts of our heads.

We shall always dress in the same way wherever we may be, and we shall bind the zunar round our waists

We shall not display our crosses or our books in the roads or markets of the Muslims. We shall use only clappers in our churches very softly. We shall not raise our voices when following our dead. We shall not show lights on any of the roads of the Muslims or in their markets. We shall not bury our dead near the Muslims.

We shall not take slaves who have beenallotted to Muslims.

We shall not build houses overtopping the houses of the Muslims.

(When I brought the letter to Umar, may God be pleased with him, he added, “We shall not strike a Muslim.”)

We accept these conditions for ourselves and for the people of our community, and in return we receive safe-conduct.

If we in any way violate these undertakings for which we ourselves stand surety, we forfeit our covenant [dhimma], and we become liable to the penalties for contumacy and sedition.

Umar ibn al-Khittab replied: Sign what they ask, but add two clauses and impose them in addition to those which they have undertaken. They are: “They shall not buy anyone made prisoner by the Muslims,” and “Whoever strikes a Muslim with deliberate intent shall forfeit the protection of this pact.”

No crosses or bells——but we are expected to listen to the “Call to Prayers” 4 times a day, 24/7/365.

This has to start resonating here in the USA & we have to end the current occupation before it gets worse.
