While Western media, following the lead of pro-Brotherhood Al- Jazeera, continue demonizing the Egyptian military’s attempts to neutralize the Muslim Brotherhood terror bases, where people have been tortured, raped, and killed, all according to Islamist fatwas (including rape) the media portray them as ‘sit- ins’ where Islamists are holding vigil only to be slaughtered by the military. Conversely, the media are virtually silent about the violence against Egypt’s Coptic Christians, the nation’s original inhabitants, by the same people in the sit- ins.
BNI has not been silent:
morsimuslim-brotherhood-supports-have-attacked-at-least-10-coptic-churches-in-sohad-menya-and-dilga
Raymond Ibrahim For starters, and as CBN’s Gary Lane just put it, “What do Muslim Brotherhood members do when Egyptian Security Forces launch a forewarned operation to clear them from Cairo tent cities? Attack Christians. That’s right. Morsi supporters responded with a monumental attack — unprecedented in modern times — on churches throughout Egypt. The torching and destruction of churches occured within six hours of the start of the military crackdown.”
Indeed, the abuse of Egypt’s Christians has reached unprecedented levels in the modern era. Al-Qaeda’s flag has been raised above their churches; their pope is in hiding under threat of death; a priest was shot in front of his church, and another Copt beheaded; their children are being abducted; nary a day goes by without a church being attacked or set aflame; hate filled graffiti covers their homes and churches.
And why has the persecution reached unprecedented levels? Because the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohamed Morsi was ousted by a revolution that saw as many as 30 million Egyptians, most of them Muslims, take to the streets. But of course, the Brotherhood does not want to admit that Muslim majorities do not favor their rule, so they scapegoat the already-hated Christians, portraying them as fundamental to the ousting of Morsi.
Any number of Brotherhood leaders — from the general guide, Mohammed Badie, to the group’s spiritual father, Sheikh Yusif al-Qaradawi, all of whom publicly denounced the Coptic pope for being supportive of the revolution and supposedly even killing Muslims – are responsible for this rise in persecution of Copts.
Accordingly, among some Islamists, anti-Christian fury has taken on genocidal proportions. Recently a Libyan Muslim named Tamar Rashad called in to a talk show, saying “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.”
In fact, it has become difficult in the last few days to keep up with the attacks on Egypt’s Christians, so many and nonstop are the reports emanating from human-rights organizations in Egypt. Especially 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.
Also often left untold by the major media is that Copts suffered unprecedented abuses under Morsi’s one year of rule – through legal measures as well as extralegal ones.
For example, in April, after Christians mourned several Copts who were killed by Muslims in St. Mark’s Cathedral, Coptic Christianity’s holiest site and home to the Coptic pope (before he went into hiding from recent death threats), Muslim mobs who had waited outside launched yet another attack.
Eyewitnesses said as many as 40–50 tear gas canisters targeted the mourners, many of whom were women and children hiding in the cathedral. Two more Copts were killed and many dozens wounded as other officers stood by while the Muslim mob tried to destroy the cathedral. As one Egyptian political commentator pointed out at the time, under Mubarak, not even a pebble was thrown at St. Mark’s Cathedral.
Similarly, under the one year of Morsi rule, over a dozen cases of Copts being attacked, arrested, and given sentences double the maximum for supposedly insulting Islam, took place; under Mubarak’s thirty year rule, less than a handful of cases was ever registered—proof that, under the Brotherhood, Coptic persecution became legally codified in the context of “blasphemy.”
One can go on and on. Yet you won’t find out about the persecution of Egypt’s Christians – certainly nowhere near its true extent nor the historical continuity and patterns evinced throughout the centuries – following the so-called mainstream media or academia, as can be seen even now in their skewed coverage of the military’s attempts to disperse the Brotherhood bases.
It’s time the full, ugly truth about Muslim persecution of Christians was known – and acted upon.
omta says
in the western world noone gives a hoot about the christians suffering in the muslim countries, I am sure if it was a civil issue or defending muslim rights, the people would be in the streets in droves , solution, everytime a christian is killed all western countries should kick a thousand muslim asylum seekers out, they come here to collect social assistance by breeding like roches, imagine 6 kids x $ 300.00or more a month, with this money they donate to their terrorist charity organization, so this money is becoming bullets killing us, our countries need to wake up other wise we will say goodbye to all our christian symblos in our own countries.
please see all the videos relating to the current events in Egypt, see the suffering of the christians and do something about is
Emanuelle Goldstein says
I had a conversation with a colleague at UC Berkeley yesterday. His take on Christians in Egypt: “Egypt is a Muslim county, Christians shouldn’t be there.” I pointed out to him that Christians lived in Egypt long before Islam was invented (and I do mean “invented” not revealed).
He doubled down: “Egypt is a Muslim county. If the Christians don’t like it, they should leave.”
“Great idea! They should be allowed asylum in the U.S.” I replied.
He got flustered and had to think for a minute. “Absolutely not. The U.S. is not a Christian nation. They don’t belong here either.”
The U.S. is not a Christian nation. They don’t belong here either.
Christians beware. The Left sees you as the next target.
BareNakedIslam says
EG, are you the not totally liberal EG from the Hannity board?
Emanuelle Goldstein says
No, not me. I don’t post at Hannity. Of course, you realize the name comes from Orwell’s 1984? Only difference is that I use the feminine version of Emmanuel.
BareNakedIslam says
EG, so did she. That’s why I thought you might be her. Sorry. It was 5 – 6 years ago however. She was a liberal, but not about Islam, which is why we were friends.

I guess the Western media doesn’t include the NY Times and the Washington Post.
“And they lashed out at Christians, attacking or burning seven churches, according to the interior minister. Coptic Christian and human rights groups said the number was far higher.”

“Violence spread Thursday, with government buildings set afire near the pyramids, policemen gunned down and scores of Christian churches attacked.”

Funny how Obama posts a bounty on those who kill muslims and never says a word about the tens of thousands of Christians being butchered, raped yearly in predominant Muslims Countries, the same people he sends money and weapons tom he knows they are wiping out Christians and Shii muslims and doesn’t care, why should he, he is a Saudi supporter and a Sunni and supports his brothers in the MB
Satan has a willing helper under Obama, Clinton, Biden, Kerry are all willing servants of satan as well

I wonder if there will be a spontaneous Re-Christianization of the European.
Anyone looking at the Copts must know that they are next unless a crusade starts again.

Retire Marine your post was and I say this with all due respect sir Just awesome Hooorawwwww
Ret. Marine says
My personal jihad these days is to expose what I know to be true to all concerned Patriots, both on our soil and every where else it is read. Thanks of the comment. There will be more exposing coming your way. I don’t do it for the good feeling of it all, it is my concern to all to get the truth out so they can do the research themselves to determine truth, from fiction. Keep the prayers going people, the truth shall set all of us free in the end. Never apologize for it either, its a sign of weakness.

The Muslims brotherhood has been known for its hostility and hatred toward Christian for a long time, I am not surprise by their savage and barbaric action. You know the book by its cover and know the Muslims brotherhood by their flag which consist of two crossed swords the Quran on top and the ward( Wa eddo lahum) means and prepare for them, this is the first ward of the Quranic verse “.And prepare for them with all your strength and might, for that you will inflict fear and horror in the hearts of your enemy and the enemies of Allah, and fight them unti they say “there is no God but one GOD and mohammad is his prophet “,and they consider Christians as their worst enemy.The Muslims brotherhood organisation is wicked and evil .

Muslim persecution of Christians is known – and NOT acted upon.
marcia says
Bonni, it is coming to fruition, everything we, the “ISLAMOPHOBES”, have been saying will occur. This is not an “I told you so” moment, any azz-hole could see this and more if they would just take the blinders off! Lebanon had an unexpected blast occur today, I believe that Jordan is the next to experience this civil war as we have been saying as well. The Copts are being burned out of Egypt and Odumbo remains IGNANT to their plight while he STILL backs the M.B. If Egypt does become an Islamic country like Iran or Pakistan, the entire M.E. will become a cesspool within 50 years.

Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood Defiant After Bloody Crackdown
While Cairo was quiet Thursday, ousted President Mohammed Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood supporters vowed to continue to oppose the interim military regime and called for new protests. The government has warned it will not tolerate further unrest and more violent crackdowns are likely, especially after Friday prayers. The attacks on more than 20 churches and Christian institutions in Egypt on Wednesday reflected the growing radicalism of the Muslim Brotherhood and its determination to target groups that supported Morsi’s removal. Egyptian officials said 525 people were killed during Wednesday’s crackdown on Muslim Brotherhood protest camps in Cairo.

I’m not terribly surprised- the MSM has been anti Christian for decades.
Linda Rivera says
U.S. leaders worked behind the scenes to oust U.S. ally, moderate Mubarak, in order to bring to power their top FAVORITES, the Muslim Brotherhood, whose stated goal in the U.S. is global Islamic conquest and the DESTRUCTION of civilization.
Muslim Brotherhood operatives have been placed into positions of enormous power in the U.S. government. The MB help to make both U.S. domestic and foreign policy.
Despicable Western media are profoundly EVIL in sympathizing with cruel, barbaric Muslim Brotherhood predators who are savagely attacking defenseless Christians.
Wicked Western media ruthlessly ignore and DELIBERATELY HIDE the terrifying attacks on Christians, their churches, shops, homes and businesses.
SILENCE IS CONSENT.

Barbarians, absolute Barbarians. There’s obviously an agenda of compliance to the breakdown of western values by the Main Stream Media. They can be trusted about as much as the Government and the Federal Police.

Ret. Marine says
Well lets see now, Christians, being equated as traitors in uniform, Weinstein, recent meeting with the Dept. Of Def. recent moves to silence the Christian/Priest Corp in all branches, demanding Christians not be able to exercise their 1st Amendment rights because they are in uniform while at the same time equating their actions, (passing on the word of GOD) as treason. Obama’s bin lyn’ supplying, financially supporting the enemies of these United States with the American tax monies, all illegally, and without the support of We The Patriots ( tax payers authorization) , arms, allowed 400 Stinger MANPADS to fall into the hands of his bro’s, our declared enemies, al-qaeda, looked the other way allowed these brothers from their hood, islam to kill our Diplomat and three associates, says nothing at all about the outcome of the hoodrats involvement killing and persecuting Christian Copts under his lend and leased attack dog Morsi, again nothing to see here, all is going as planned. Why this trash squatting in our house hates Christians is still a mystery, but, if you believe him to be one, and doubt he’s really an enemy agent from the hoodrats of islam, supported by the demonrat party, good on you, too bad for these United States, we are the TARGETS of his scorn-period.
But, hey did you hear from the alternative news sites of the brothers from their hood, islam are now threatening to expose Obama as a sunni-muslim, unofficial head of the coming caliphate, that he is not even an American citizen, that they have secured the original birth certificate from kenya and are threatening to expose this fraud for who he really is, and we wonder why the mc lame, and his side kick Gramnasty, so called esteemed senators, were in Egypt lately, maybe to sweeten the pot a tad bit more if they keep their mouths shut about it. Yeah they went there to secure the release of the “lend and leashed attack dog” Morsi, his personal hoodrat representative in Egypt, with the support of the brothers from their hood islam in cahoots with this regime, and to threaten the military with withholding financial support if they didn’t release Obama’s lend and leashed attack dog, morsi. Makes sense doesn’t it? The time is fast approaching where this fraud is going to get called out for the mess he and his brand of traitors are involved in with the leadership actually coming from the House of Saud, (Saudi Arabia) Qatar, and the United Arab Emerate. Yeah usually in the mob’s dealings when things get hairy, its internal conflict which brings the dons down, by the underlings, can we be witnessing the same with this so-called pResident, and his merry band of TRAITOR’s, maybe!!!
I think maybe, just maybe this mutt has pissed off the wrong guy, GOD. We’ll see soon I guess. Oh and by the way, it is being reported by physicians at the front lines all across Egypt, over 2,0000-killed and as many as 10,000 injured in the past two days of military actions against the brothers from their hood, islam and supporters. Unfortunate for the Copt Christians, they are being used as fodder as it cannot and must not be exposed the treason being allowed by a cowardice CONgresscritter/whores, and we wonder why the media is silent about it, its happening right here on our soil against our own Christians, so who you gonna believe, the liars (our supposed news outlets) covering this mutts (Obama’s) ass, or our lying eyes?
I, mohareb………………………………………………..approve this message.

Media is dangerous double edged sword, naive readers risk being swayed by reputation than facts.
Another more balanced coverage, clearly indicates revenge attacks by violent protesters and local support for army curfew in Cairo.

I’ve watched it on CNN in Canada, have they covered it in the US?
http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/15/world/meast/egypt-church-attacks/
“Christians all around Egypt are cleaning up in the aftermath of a spate of attacks, which came on the country’s deadliest day since the 2011 revolution that overthrew longtime President Hosni Mubarak.”
“Bishop Angaelos, the Cairo-born head of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom, said he was told by colleagues in Egypt that 52 churches were attacked in a 24-hour span that started Wednesday, as well as numerous Christians’ homes and businesses.”
Does “Kristallnacht” ring a bell? What says the MB?
First the Saturday people – fertig.
Now the Sunday people – we’re working on it.
Comment? cair? obuMBoy?
Three more things:
1/. Maybe Copts are a reminder that mohammedans are ‘johnny-cum-latelys’ and not the real Egyptians; DNA maybe, but their heritage bastardized by mohammed. So they feel inferior (what’s new?) and feel bound to exterminate the true Egypt.
2/. The Copts were supposed to be responsible, in some degree, for the D-grade movie “Innocence of mohammed”, so that’s another score to settle.
3/. A Morsi mohammedan (Momo) suggested on one CNN clip that there were disguised Coptic ‘heavies’ among the Egyptian Army, firing at said Momos. I don’t know how he knew, if they were heavily disguised, but the important thing to do is to spread that rumor.
True – or not true.
