"It's open Season on Christians."
Posted on 08/08/2013 12:51:07 AM PDT by bronxville
Days ago, al-Qaeda’s Egyptian leader, Ayman Zawahiri, portrayed the overthrow of Muhammad Morsi and the Brotherhood as a “Crusader” campaign led by Coptic Pope Tawadros II who, according to Zawahiri and other terrorists, is trying to create a Coptic state in Egypt.
Since then, not only are Egypt’s Christians and churches now being attacked in ways unprecedented in the modern era, but new reports indicate that al-Qaeda’s black flag has been raised on some of them, specifically St. George Church in Sohag. Considering that it was al-Qaeda linked terrorists who initiated one of the bloodiest church attacks in recent history, the 2010 Baghdad church attack where nearly 60 Christians were slaughtered (click here for graphic images), that al-Qaeda is singling out Egypt’s Christians bodes ill.
The Islamic terrorist organization’s incitements against the Copts are just the latest to emanate from Islamists—from the top of the Brotherhood leadership to the bottom of the “Muslim street”—creating something of an “open season” on Egypt’s Christians....
...This anti-Christian fury is far from sated and has taken on genocidal proportions. While Al Jazeera was covering (and distorting) events in Egypt, a Libyan man named Tamar Rashad called in and said “I want to offer the good news to [Pope] Tawadros that, Allah willing, the day is coming when no Copt will ever again tread the ground of Egypt—and no churches. We will no longer allow churches to exist.” When the TV host appeared to protest, Rashad interrupted him saying, “It’s already decided, take your cameras and go to the churches and you’ll see what’s going to happen soon, Allah willing.”
To make matters worse, Sheikh Yusif al-Qaradawi, one of the Islamic world’s leading preachers and spiritual father of the Muslim Brotherhood, has given his formal stamp of approval to persecute Copts, recently posting a video saying that “Christians” and others “were recruited [by Egypt’s military] to kill innocent Muslims.”
As expected, all these incitements against the Copts issued by several top Islamist leaders have so upped anti-Copt sentiment that it has become difficult in the last few days to keep up with the attacks on them—so many and nonstop are the reports emanating from Egypt. All throughout Upper Egypt—in Minya, Asyut, Sohag—Christians and their churches are under attack; dozens of Coptic homes and businesses have been set on fire. Due to the risk to Christian lives, many churches are no longer holding regular worship services.
The situation has gotten so dire that Ibrahim Eissa, a popular Egyptian journalist and TV personality, apparently unable to keep silent over the plight of the Copts, recently said on live TV: “The Christians have suffered in Egypt, over the course of 2 ½ years. Their churches have been burned, their children killed. The Maspero Massacre occurred, where several Copts were slain. Catastrophic fatwas appeared, calling them infidels and inciting against them…. No one has suffered as much as they. Today, if any Christian attempts to join a protest, he does so at the risk of defying dozens of fatwas calling for his death and decapitation and the burning of churches, especially in Upper Egypt.”

With the ouster of Muhammad Morsi, Egypt’s Islamists have finally gotten the pretext they need to cleanse the nation of its Christian minority, the Copt’s—ironically, Egypt’s most native sons.
The unprecedented hate currently being visited on them is fueled by Islam’s “How Dare You?” phenomenon: As conquered non-Muslims, Christians must live as dhimmis, that is, according to traditional Islamic teaching, barely tolerated “infidels” who must be humble and submissive—to the point that they are not permitted to raise their hands to Muslims even when attacked.
Far from assuming their “proper place,” Egypt’s Christians supported the June 30 Revolution against the will and threats of the Brotherhood. Thus, to Egypt’s disenfranchised and bitter Brotherhood and its supporters, Egypt’s Christians, beginning with their pope, are all now free game.

"It's open Season on Christians."
There’s a picture of a Christian beheading at the site.
This is real islam and real muslim brotherhood
This is the religion of pieces (not peace)
This is what you support every time you repeat the lie that islam is a peaceful religion
This is what Israel has to deal with on a regular basis
This is what the immigration law is suppose to help legalize (has provisions in it for an influx of more muslims)
This is what 0 care is about - a tax for non muslims and an transfer of your wealth to them since they are exempt
our president has said he is not “taking sides”
we are officially neutral to this genocide
this MB is what John McCain and Linsey Lightloafers met with in Egypt this week to urge a “return to an inclusive government”
the MB is who we backed to rule Egypt and who we continue to back by our silence
Islam is at war with itself and all other faiths. This is called Dahr-Al_Hareb (literally, world on the sword) = war until such time that all the peoples of this world will be Muslim (Dahr-Al-Islam, literally, A world of [where everybody is] Muslim.
Problem is, even if they achieve this world state, G-d forbid, they will still be killing each other so where is the harmony or bliss at the end of the Islamic Rainbow? When all Muslims have killed off all Muslims, then we shall be able to relax.
Despite the fact that Israel is in the trenches for the West, that doesn’t stop Europe from appeasing the Arabs by trying to DIVEST from the Middle East's ONLY stable, viable, Democratic and liberal western power that represents all that the West cherishes. It is foolhardy to attack Israel as Israel is us, our values and our hopes.
Appeasement never worked.
I’m sure McCain has denounced this.
Obama is supporting these animals. The Christians are almost completely wiped out in Iraq. The Syriac church is being martyred.
The NWO doesn’t want Christianity. Obama may not be a practicing muslim, but I do believe he is a cultural muslim with all that entails. I also believe he has no allegiance except to whomever it is that placed him in the highest office.
And we keep sending them Billions.
Obama cries over Trayvon while thousands are dying in Egypt and he never mentions them.
POTUS is a cultural SUNNI moslem. HOMOsexual agenda makes no sense on the surface, as it is abhorant to faithful moslems. Yet this Jihadi is intent on America’s destruction.
There is none...nor will there be.... it's a Cult of death that glorifies dying and blood shed.....even to kneeling down and kissing the blood of their fallen.
As you know. they see dying for their cause as something which not only allows them entrance to their so called heavenly place....but will open the way for other family members to attain this by their so called Martyrdom....and why family members seldom object to their sons and daughters strapping themselves with explosions....for those family members it's a “get out of jail Free” card for their own failures............
....an evil and sick culture that has not nor will it change in the future, though it will always mask itself otherwise when in the modern world...and those masks are working to deceive the world as they infiltrate nations and their governance's..
