Coptic Christian Pope Blasts Egypt’s Islamist President

The Jihad continues on Egyptian Christians. But few will hear much about it, thanks to the enemedia.

The leader of Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Church on Tuesday blasted the country’s Islamist president over his handling of the recent deadly sectarian violence, including an attack on the main cathedral in Cairo.

The remarks by Pope Tawadros II underscore rising Muslim-Christian tensions in Egypt — and they show a level of boldness, especially considering the abuses that many Christians have faced in the region. They were Tawadros’ first direct criticism of President Mohammed Morsi since he was enthroned in November as the spiritual leader of Egypt’s Orthodox Christians.

Muslims Slaughter 50 Christians on Easter Sunday

A man playing the role of Jesus Christ is escorted by guards during a ritual procession re-enacting the death of Christ in Lagos while in Jos more than 50 have been killed after officials pleaded for peace over the easter weekend (Reuters)

This is so shocking. While we here in the West enjoy our peace and tranquility on Easter Sunday, our fellow Christians in other lands, especially Muslim lands, are being butchered. Truly it makes me want to march over to the local Muslim community and demand an answer to the question: "Why are your people killing my people?"

It's Easter so Christians must fear jihad. 50 are dead in Nigeria. When these news stories are written by Muslims the reportage is sanitized and compromised. In this article, the slaughter and ongoing genocide of Christians by Muslims is described as "unrest between Christians and Muslims." Jihad aided and abetted by stealth jihad.

Drunk Muslim Upholding the Honour of the Prophet

In this op-ed published by Pakistan Today, Hashim bin Rashid, a Muslim, looks at the hypocrisy of the Muslim attack, where a drunken Muslim’s accusations of blasphemy against a Christian man was enough to legitimize the mob’s vengeance against an entire Christian community.

The irony in the ground reality was lost on most Muslim Pakistanis – but certainly not on the city’s 500,000 strong Christian community. Protests began the same day and lasted till Tuesday. But more reason for outrage should have been found. The same police force that stood by and watched 3,000 people loot and plunder Joseph Colony, fired over 500 tear gas canisters on Youhanabad, the largest Christian settlement in the country, with over 4,000 households. Over a hundred Christians were arrested at a point when no one had been arrested for the Joseph Colony mob attack. Policemen in riot gear told a reporter in this newspaper: “These are choorhas.”

Nigeria Turning into Killing Field of Dead Christians

And so I ask my local NL Muslim neighbours “Why are your people killing my people?

I fear they will have no answer really, other than perhaps to deny they had anything to do with such violence and then to accuse me of Islamophobia.

So what accountability is there, what recourse to justice is there, in Islam, the wonderful “religion of peace” for those who are clearly the victims of that ideology, or for those loved ones left behind?

Survivors recall terrifying scene of suicide attack in Nigeria as death ...

The attack yesterday saw two suicide bombers ram their car into the bus station in Kano, Nigeria’s second largest city, setting off a huge explosion that hit five buses, police spokesman Magaji Majia told AFP.

A rescue official said late today that the attack left 41 people dead, while Majia said 65 were injured.

Memorial University of Newfoundland Students Protest Muslim Violence

 

So why is this getting such little coverage locally? I didn’t see any coverage in yesterday’s Telegram or on the CBC News website. I did an online search but no story surfaced. I do see today a story about Muslim burial grounds in Torbay but nothing else under the banner Muslim. Even in this YouTube video there seems to be great reluctance to identify the perpetrators of violence. Are they Muslims or not? If they were Christians do you think it might have received mention?

VOCM carried the story on Wednesday with a picture of local students. The only reference to Muslim was connecting the story to an Islamic leader who was sentenced to death earlier this year.

The MUN students pictured in the stories are seeking support from Canada and the US in order that pressure might be put on the perpetrators in their home country of Bangladesh. I hope it works. Canada released a statement recently condemning the violence. Once again, the word “Muslim” is nowhere to be seen in the article.

Hindus have suffered a “relentless jihad” over centuries. It continues. Is this jihad coming our way? Silly question.

Saint Eulogius Exposes Myth of Tolerant Islam

In what way exactly has Islam changed since the days of Muhammed?

Let’s keep our eyes open.

In 859, the clergy and people of Toledo elected Eulogius bishop; he was never installed in that see. His past made him objectionable to the caliph, who monitored episcopal elections. The caliph’s officials knew not only that Eulogius had earlier advised imprisoned Christians, but that he had also hidden a young girl named Leocritia, who had converted to Christianity from Islam. Like many Muslim girls who are abused today for having non-Muslim friends, Leocritia’s parents beat her cruelly to compel her to return to the Muslim religion. She sought the protection of Eulogius, who gave her sanctuary among his friends and family. She was found out, however, and all those who had helped her were brought before the qadi, or judge. When he appeared in court Eulogius denounced Muhammad as a false prophet. He was told that he could recant, save his life, and then resume his position as a leader among the Christians. Eulogius refused; he chose to die for Christ and was soon after beheaded.
