Egyptian Sheikh Behind Mubarak Assassination Plot Released (Morsi pardons Luxor leader)
Ahram ^ | Wednesday, September 26, 2012

Al-Jamaa Al-Islamiya leader Mostafa Hamza, detained for terrorist activity and attempt on Hosni Mubarak's life, released Tuesday by President Morsi's pardon

Egypt's security authorities released, Tuesday, Mostafa Hamza, a prominent radical Sheikh charged with attempting to assassinate former president Hosni Mubarak in Ethiopia in1995.

Hamza, a leading member of Islamic organisation Al-Jamaa Al-Islamiya, was extradited to Egypt from Iran in 2004. He was detained following terrorism-related charges that included being a member of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.

(The wire services are ignoring this news. We learned about it via FrontPageMag which highlighted that Hamza was behind the Luxor massacre. FPM excerpted several articles detailing the 1997 massacre of 58 foreign tourists at the Egyptian tourist destination and noted, "The Luxor Massacre has been mostly forgotten, but it deserves to be remembered as a template of the Islamist soul. The full horror of what happened there needs to be understood for us to understand what Morsi has just done."

The former headof news for Egypt's state television, Abdul Latif Minawi, wrote at Al Arabiya:

"It seems we are about to lose the ability to feel astonished at what is happening in Egypt, one day after another. Take, for example, the release of a large number of Islamist militants who were charged with terrorism and the killing of innocent civilians. The last of those was Mustafa Hamza, the mastermind of the attempt on the former president’s life in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa. I don’t think readers need to be told about Hamza’s ideological and organizational stance, but I would just like to remind them that all his co-militants stressed in their interviews and memoirs that he did not only plan the assassination of the president, but was also involved in the killing of tourists in Luxor in 1997."

There should be a policy of “no prisoners” for such. If captured alive, they should be reported as killed, information extracted, and then quietly executed afterwards.

Absolutely incredible. This was a truly ghastly attack and it’s hard to believe that even the Islamists in charge of Egypt now would want to let themselves be associated with it. But I think they’ve realized that they can do absolutely anything they want and they don’t have to hide their real intentions in any way now. Horrible, horrible.

0bama’s Muslim Brotherhood (Al Qaeda in Egypt, really) buddies are pardoning known terrorists.

What could possibly go wrong?

“Wise man ducks, before the camel spits”

Ignore these Islamofascists and get far away. As far away as you can. Coptic Christians were only barely tolerated.

I thank God every day my parents came to America.

Won’t happen, at least not in our near future. Americas children are held hostage in government schools where liberals indoctrinate them. Those generations, raised without any moral compass, are taught that America is the atrocity. We’re guilty and we, along with the West, deserve what we get. These people are victims, not terrorists. They’re oppressed and we did it. This is justice (have you not seen the stamps?).

Note the rapes. You have a religion that denigrates women and this is what you get, not chivalry, but rape.

Rape is a crime of violence in which sex is the weapon.
