Egypt: Fatwa Bans Christian Priests from Public Transportation to Church
Raymond Ibrahim ^ | 7/24/12 | Raymond Ibrahim

Dr. Yassir al-Burhami, a prominent figure in Egypt's Salafi movement and vice president of the Salafi Call—the same sheikh who seeks to punish Muslim apostates, condemns Mother's Day, and advocates deceiving Israel—has just issued a fatwa, published in the "Voice of the Righteous Salaf," forbidding Muslim taxi-drivers and bus-drivers from transporting Coptic Christian priests to their churches, which he depicted as "more forbidden than taking someone to a liquor bar."

This analogy, of course, does not begin with Sheikh Burhami, but traces back to some of Islam's early giants, including Ibn Taymiyya and Ibn Qayyim, who agreed that "building churches is worse than building bars and brothels, for those [churches] symbolize infidelity, whereas these [bars and brothels] represent immorality.

The logic is simple: It is better to profess Islam and be immoral, than to profess Christianity—for the latter denies the veracity of Islam, and hence is much more abominable. In this context, the Muslim who transports a priest to his church where he will preach Christianity—a message that contradicts Islam—is a terrible crime.

Just the start of Christian harrassment.

Killing Christians to follow soon.

Sadly true. If this country had any guts left, they’d tear up every fatwa, skinnywa, chubbywa and muscleboundwa and throw them back in these death-cultists’ faces.

Those Muslims must be awfully afraid of the Christians to behave with such vile hostility.

If you are a Christian and living in Egypt, and you want to die a natural death, you might as well leave Egypt.

My God MAN!!! Do you not know PEACE when you see it? He didn’t blow the priest up or call for taxi jihad! This is peace! I’m shocked...shocked I tell you...that people do not understand that Islam is a religion of PEACE!!! Do you not feel the love and compassion?

/s

If you added up all the people like the idiot in this article that the MSM/Dem/Libs claim to be not ‘representative’ of Islam, there wouldn’t be enough Muslims left to call it a religion in the first place.

What a Islamophobic thing to say. Don’t you know that Islam is a very moderate religion—it is the religion of peace as George W. once proclaimed. And not just George W. but Boehner, McConnel and other Republicans and Democrats including some of the top people in the military. Who are you, little person to suggest otherwise. You must be some bigoted, backward person. When your betters say that it is the religion of peace, who are you to question them?

Muslims know what they did to the Christians when they conquered the country. Muslims never want people to know their country’s history because they would then learn the bloody history of Islam. The Muslim party of Pakistan went so far as to try to ban history books that go back before the Islamic period. They call the pre-Islamic period the Jahaliya or the period of ignorance because nothing before Islam is worth knowing about. That shows you the extremes they have to go to to maintain the hold of Islam. The Palestinians (Arabs) are even digging out the land under the temple mount to destroy any vestage of Jewish history. They claim that the Jewish temple never existed on the temple mount. Bizarre!

There are many websites dedicate to Islam but I wish there was one that would be dedicated exclusively to the ridiculous things that these mullahs say. Remember the taboo against women touching zuccini, cucumbers, carrots and postmorten sex, sex slaves are a good thing etc. etc.

Maybe someone from the MSM will ask Jay Carney about this tomorrow. Maybe Hillary will ask Huma why this is happening. Maybe the rest of us will ask how some Americans could vote for a socialist, anti-Semitic, anti-Christian pig who pushed for this to happen.

If a Protestant Preacher, Jewish Rabbi or Catholic Priest issued a pulpit decree to kill or maim those of the Islamic faith... would that be consider that okay by the Liberal Politically Correct crowd that runs the Democrat Party?

Of course it would not... because it would not help the children, women and minorities they champion!

You need to go to Ask the Imam . They answer such deep questions as "it is permissible for a woman to pluck her eyebrows" or "are muslim males allowed to wear earings"? Did you know that a muslim is allowed to have the shower in the same room than the commode BUT that prevents him from reciting the Koran in the shower? And on, and on, and on...
