Egypt: Muslims murder Christian for having cross tattoo, vow to “kill more Copts”

28

Largely ignored by mainstream media and western politicians is the relentless persecution and slaughter of Christians in the Middle East. Christians continue to be slaughtered in Egypt on a regular basis, but the world yawns. The Muslim persecution of Christians in the Middle East has decimated centuries-old communities and has the Christians of Egypt living under constant threat, and all the enemedia ever talks about is islamofauxbia.

There won’t be any reprisals, no cruise missiles, no outrage in the UN.

The carnage brought to us by the religion of peace will continue so long as the root cause is ignored. While the West continues to deny the truth about Islam and the directives within the Quran demanding bloody Jihad, there is no hope of stopping this. The doctrine of Islam is fundamentally violent — period. We can expect no reform, as the core text requires the kuffar to submit or be slain. Allah says Islam is perfected. How can one reform what is perfected?

And Pope Francis will continue to exhort us that Islam is peace, even as Christians continued to be targeted by Muslims in Egypt. One day, the way things are going, they will attack the Vatican, and the Pope will lock himself inside and ponder what he has enabled as the Muslim mob rages outside.

“Egypt: Sinai militants pledge to ‘kill more Copts’ after murdering man over cross tattoo,” World Watch Monitor, January 15, 2018:

Militants belonging to the ‘State of Sinai’ group in Egypt have promised to “kill more Copts” after murdering a 27-year-old Coptic man because of the tattoo of a cross on his wrist.

Bassem Herz Attalhah, also known as Haythem Shehata, was on his way home from work in El-Arish, capital of North Sinai governorate, on Saturday evening (13 January), with his brother Osama and neighbour and friend Mohamed, when they were stopped by three armed men, aged between 23 and 25.

“We thought they were policemen because they weren’t masked… They were wearing black jackets,” Osama, 38, told World Watch Monitor. “They approached us and asked Bassem to show them the wrist of his right hand, and when they saw the tattoo of the cross, they asked him: ‘Are you Christian?’ Bassem answered ‘Yes, I am Christian’, and repeated that again in a loud voice.”

The men then asked Mohamed his name and made him show his wrist. When they saw he had no tattoo, he was allowed to leave.

Then they turned to Osama.

Osama is a common name, also among Muslims, and the men didn’t know he was Bassem’s brother.

“Bassem told them that I had children,” Osama recalls. “They asked me to show them the wrist of my right hand and, when they didn’t see any cross, they thought that I was Muslim.” The men didn’t see the cross that Osama has tattooed on the top of his hand because it was hidden under his sleeve.

“They fired two shots on the ground close to my legs and asked me to leave,” he recalled. “And then they shot Bassem in the head. I could not believe what happened to my brother. He fell on the ground in front of me and I was unable to do anything.”

On his way to find help, Osama says his legs gave way from the shock. Their mother, upon hearing the news, fainted and had to be taken to hospital.

“We lost a person dear to our hearts. My brother Bassem was a very good and kind man. He had a strong relationship with God. He was always reading in the Bible, praying and going to the church. He was loved by all people,” Osama said.

String of killings

When Bassem’s close friend Milad Wasfi heard he had been killed, he couldn’t believe it and called his friend’s phone. His call was answered, but not by his friend.

“The terrorists answered me and said they belong to State of Sinai and promised to kill more Copts before they put down the phone,” he told World Watch Monitor.

Scores of Coptic Christian families left for Ismailia and Suez, about 200km away, after a string of killings in El-Arish last year – including one incident where a woman witnessed her husband and son killed by a gunman who then ticked them off an IS hit-list. In March 2017 it was estimated that 70 per cent of the 160 Coptic Christian families living in the city had left.

Bassem, Osama and their parents had been among those who fled the city. Struggling to find work in Ismailia, however, the two brothers left for Cairo, and when things did not work out for them there either, they decided to return to El-Arish in September….

Muslims intend to gain the whole world, and then some, whether they are provoked or not.

And IF they gain the whole world, then what? Life here on earth is a mere breath, and all — yes ALL — whether they be muslim, Jew, Christian or any other “religion”, will have to face the same JUDGE, and give an account of themselves. Everything will be wide open for the JUDGE to see, and very few will make it, because “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 16:25 NKJV). There will be no 72 virgins for you. And, “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Mark 836-37 NKJV).

Also, “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise” (Proverbs 12:15 NKJV). Therefore, as Jesus said, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV).

If only Christendom had managed to take back Egypt from Islamic rule, restore Christianity to its people while liberating them from Arab control.

Sadly, not all muslims or “infidels” will convert to Christianity.

Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship, and those who do submit to Master Yeshua will find the love, joy, and peace which surpasses all understanding. I know, because I have it. No one will find that in islam.

This does not mean that I have fully arrived, but I press on to the finish line, when Yeshua calls me to my eternal home.

Yes, that’s true & another reason is that those who leave Islam face a death penalty.

Yes, because islam does not have what Christianity has, muslims will make sure that Christians will not live out that peace that only Yeshua gives. One of the things which attracted me to a real relationship with Him was His own words: “And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!” (Luke 12:4-5 NKJV). It’s better to obey God than men.

Don’t forget that the muslim arabs in Egypt are actually the descendants of invaders who came from the arabian peninsula and fought and massacred jews and christians all the way through until they reached Morocco. The true inheritors of the ancient Pharaoes are the Copts. In fact, Egypt is theirs and theirs only!
The fate of the Copts are a very good example of what can happen to you in your own fatherland if you allow muslims to conquer your country!

Yes vercingetorix and that is the same truth everywhere the muslim invaders have infected. They bring Nothing to the table of any country but poverty, misery and death. It makes no sense to invite this miserable cult of death into your house.

This is another DISGRACE that can be placed at the FEET of the CATHOLIC CHURCH & WESTERN LEADERS!
This ignoring the plight of Christians & not only in the Middle East but in Nigeria & Pakistan!

They are regularly beaten , raped & blown up but the WEST for the MOST PART IGNORES this !
There are TWO STANDARDS of behaviour allowed & ISLAM in the MAJORITY COUNTRIES is free to abuse CHRISTIANS at will with the full knowledge that the WEST will REMAIN SILENT as will the CATHOLIC & OTHER CHRISTIAN CHURCHES !

It is a DISGRACE that they will pay for LATER!

RIP Mr. Attalhah, my condolences to his family. We all know he won’t be the last Coptic Christian to die at the hands of muslums in Egyptistan.
