Islamists hit, torch Christian churches
2013-08-19
To their modest credit, the Associated Press actually reports the story in its gruesome details. We had a very short version of this yesterday but you might not have clicked through. It's sad, and gory, and serves as a warning to anyone who thinks that "dialog" between the Brüderbünd and the Egyptian army will solve the problem. Those who call for the army to be 'moderate' are really calling for the MB to be given back the keys to power. This article demonstrates the logical outcome of such a move.

Glenn Reynolds at the Instapundit noted yesterday, concerning the media's reporting on Egypt, that "...if they reported accurately, Americans might get angry, and that's not allowed unless it's at Republicans." This article from the AP seems almost straight-up in its reporting. Perhaps someone at AP is waking up?
CAIRO (AP) -- After torching a Franciscan school, Islamists paraded three nuns on the streets like "prisoners of war" before a Muslim woman offered them refuge. Two other women working at the school were sexually harassed and abused as they fought their way through a mob.

In the four days since security forces cleared two sit-in camps by supporters of Egypt's ousted president, Islamists have attacked dozens of Coptic churches along with homes and businesses owned by the Christian minority. The campaign of intimidation appears to be a warning to Christians outside Cairo to stand down from political activism.

#7  100% will usher in the peace of "Dar-es-Salaam"

I think it breaks down before it reaches 90%.

#6  As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness.

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply.

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris — car burnings, etc.). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam — Mohammed cartoons).

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning.

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels.

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide.

100% will usher in the peace of "Dar-es-Salaam" — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim.

Please add something more useful to the conversation, Threater Flusoper9823. You've beaten this dead horse until it's skinless.
