EGYPT WATCH…MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IS FASCIST
IN THE FACE OF GREAT LYING ABOUT THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD 4INTERNATIONAL IS DOCUMENTING THE TRUTH
“Egyptian Cleric Hashem Islam Issues Fatwa Permitting the Killing of Anti-Morsi Demonstrators,” from MEMRI, n.d.:
Following are excerpts from a TV show, posted on the Internet on August 14, 2012, in which Egyptian cleric Hashem Islam, a member of the Al-Azhar Fatwa Committee, issues a fatwa against potential demonstrators on August 24, and from a later TV show, which aired on Dream 1 TV on August 15.
The Internet, August 14, 2012:
Hashem Islam: The revolution planned for August 24 is a par excellence revolution of kharijite apostasy against democracy and freedom. I am currently working on a relevant fatwa.
[…]
The legitimate president is Dr. Mohamed Morsi, and anyone who goes out [to protest] on August 24 will be revolution against the January 25 Revolution, and will be committing the crimes of hiraba and high treason against the country, against Allah, against his messenger, and against the believers.
Therefore, I convey the following fatwa to the Egyptian people: Confront these people, and if they fight you, fight them. Oh people of Egypt, confront these people, and if they fight you, fight them. If some of you are killed by them, you will go to Paradise, and if you kill them, no “blood money” will be warranted, because their killing is permissible. Allah’s mercy and blessings upon you….
Egypt’s Jihad Organizations Call for Christian Genocide
{FROM JIHADWATCH}According to today’s issue of El Fegr, “Elements of terrorist, jihadi organizations distributed leaflets today inciting for the killing of Copts in Suez, Ismailia, and Upper Egypt, promising them [Copts] a tragic end if they do not return to the truth.”
An image of a copy of the letter appears on El Fegr’s website. Titled “An Urgent and Important Notice,” it begins by calling on “all brothers and sisters” to “kill or physically attack the enemies of the religion of Allah—the Christians in all of Egypt’s provinces, the slaves of the Cross, Allah’s curse upon them…”
It proceeds to promise a monetary reward for whoever helps “achieve Allah’s rights against his enemies.”
As a testimony to how safe the jihadi organizations of today’s Egypt feel under the new president, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Muhammad Morsi, the usual cryptic language is dropped, as the letter names contact points and even a mosque, Sheikh Ahmed Mosque in Kasfrit, where those interested should rally “after Friday prayers where new members to the organization will be welcomed.”
This genocide has been called until Egypt’s Christians “return to the truth,” a reference apparently meaning that Egypt’s Christians must either embrace “the truth”—that is, Islam, which they must convert to—or else return to the truths of the religion, which holds that Christians must embrace their subhuman dhimmi status (Koran 9:29).
Both forced conversions and dhimmi status for Christians are a regular feature of Egypt’s landscape, past and present.
Subsequent news reports cite the growing fear and terror among Egypt’s Christian population.

BREAKING TREATIES…A GREAT TREACHERY
{FROM JIHADWATCH} “Morsi ‘to Make Changes in Camp David Accords,'” by Gil Ronen for Arutz Sheva, August 14 (thanks to Voice of the Copts):
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi will discuss, in coming days, making changes in the Camp David Accord signed with Israel. The changes will allow Egypt “to implement its full sovereignty over the Sinai Peninsula.”
The Camp David Accord was in essence about making peace with the Jews, and also partly being bribed by the US, and also through this the US building up a large army in Egypt to use against Israel. It was peace of a kind, and a cold peace at that. But Morsi is 180 degrees different.
The Muslim Brotherhood is 100 degrees immersed in Antisemitism
It cannot be otherwise because the origin of Islam was based on the massacre of Jews. And the Muslim Brotherhood is (Antisemi
THE CHRISTIAN COPTS IN GREAT DANGER
{FROM ATLAS SHRUGS-PAMELA GELLER}
“This is Obama’s legacy, the malignancy of his anti-freedom, pro-jihad foreign policy. American history is forever stained with our tacit sanction of the persecution, slaughter, and oppression of non-Muslim minorities in countries we helped enslave. We will live with this for generations, and our children will pay an unimaginable price.
This is our nightmare, and he is the nightmare of freedom-loving peoples across the world”.
“U.S. ignores abuse of Christian women in Egypt” Washington Times, August 14, 2012 (thanks to David)
[….] Coptic Christian women are routinely victimized and forcibly converted by Muslims in Egypt, Miss Ghaly says.
In its annual Religious Freedom Report, released July 30, the U.S. State Department acknowledged the problem, but at the same time appeared to downplay it. The report described forcible conversions as “disputed,” asserting that while there were “occasional claims” of Muslim men forcing Coptic women (and sometimes girls younger than legal age) to convert to Islam, these accounts “often included inflammatory allegations and categorical denials of kidnapping and rape.”
Miss Ghaly has no faith in the current U.S. administration. “I feel that politically the United States will look after its own interests,” Miss Ghaly said. “I feel that they favor the Muslim Brotherhood and [Egyptian President Mohammed] Morsi more than the human rights of the Copts.”
Miss Ghaly has devoted the past 15 years to researching the problem of forced conversion in Egypt. In 2004, she teamed up with John Eibner, president of Christian Solidarity International, a human rights organization that has focused on the maltreatment of Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East.
Mr. Eibner introduced Miss Ghaly to anti-trafficking activist Michelle Clark. Ms. Clark, an adjunct professor with the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University, is former head of the Anti-Trafficking Assistance Unit at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
The women wrote two reports for Christian Solidarity International on the forced conversion issue, the latest released last month. The State Department report mentioned their July study, but said “local human rights groups were unable to verify such cases.”
The report’s co-authors took issue with this. “They do not believe reports and findings such as this one, but they believe Muslims who say that these stories are full of lies,” Miss Ghaly said.
“We stand by the report,” Ms. Clark said. “We did this work through good and professional methodology. We know who we talked to.”
Their research reveals a climate where women and their families are often afraid to talk for fear of Muslim retribution. “We met in hushed rooms and church courtyards because people feel safe there,” Ms. Clark said. “The Coptic community is afraid of any reprisal, afraid of what might happen.”
[…]Egypt’s Copts are no strangers to discrimination and violence. Church burnings were common during the regime of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. A car bomb last Christmas Eve killed 21 Christians. Since Mr. Mubarak was overthrown, U.S. immigration courts have seen an escalation in Coptic requests for asylum, specifically from Christian women who either escape abduction or fear abduction by Muslim men.
This is happening although the country’s new president, a former member of the Muslim Brotherhood, has pledged to be a “president for all Egyptians,” including Christians. “We will face together the strife and conspiracies that target our national unity,” he said.
Miss Ghaly does not believe President Morsi. Indeed, she believes he will “make things worse for the Copts.” When she visited Egypt recently, she said she saw heightened religious discrimination. She was spat on, insulted and humiliated for wearing a cross, she says.
