A Christian-Free Egypt is not Beyond Imagination

Muslim Human Shields for Egyptian Christians
I posted the other night about the “moderate” Muslims in Pakistan who publicly supported the Assassination of the Governor of Pakistan and anyone who agreed with him about modifying the Blasphemy law. In response, a commenter named Al-Khwarizmi left a link to an article from Ahram Online about Egyptian Muslims who volunteered to act as “human shields” for the Copts’ Christmas mass in their cathedral in Cairo, saying that “these are moderates”. I’ll...

Infidel Bloggers Alliance
Front Page Mag : Manufactured Jihad Posted by Ryan Mauro on Jan 7th, 2011 The February 2006 riots following the publication of cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammed in a Danish newspaper killed over 100 people and showed the West the danger of offending Muslim sensibilities. New documents obtained by Wikileaks now show that the Syrian government was actively stoking these flames as a way of frightening its enemies, winning its own credibility in the Muslim world and di...

The Islamist War Against Christianity
Against the meaning of his entire history as a prince of the church and also against various dicta issued by him later as the Vicar of Christ, Pope Benedict has proclaimed that he will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the conclave convened by Pope John Paul II in the Umbrian town of Assisi. That gathering assembled eminences from the "world religions" to pray together for peace. Cardinal Ratzinger, as the present pope was then called, did not attend, and his absence was rightly seen ...

Muslims In Egypt Use Themselves As 'Human Shields' To Protect Christian Community
Over the years while condemning Muslim Extremists this blog has tried to highlight moderate Muslims that stand up against Terrorists that kill innocents in the name of religion. Today a story is reported that undoubtedly qualifies as taking a stand. On New Years Eve 21 people were murdered in an attack against the Saints Church in Alexandria by Islamic Militants in a brutal act of Terrorism. This resulted in an unprecedented show of unity where millions of Egyptians replaced their Facebook pro...

AJC, NIF share a concern: Israeli democracy
I can't recall many times when the American Jewish Committee and the New Israel Fund have been on the same page on a critical issue involving Israel, but it happened this week. David Harris, the group's Executive Director, said this: “The Knesset’s action today contravenes the democratic principles that are Israel’s greatest strength. Israel’s vibrant Democracy not only can survive criticism, but it also thrives and is improved by it.” He criticized the “selec...

US govt official: Israelis ignore everyone in the US except Tom Friedman and Jeffrey Goldberg
Just had a Jerusalem meeting with a US government official. Inevitably, as our group is a delegation from Churches for Middle East Peace, someone asks, “What can we do back home to most effectively advance the peace process?”  To persuade Israel of the desirability of the two state solution? This time the question came after we had been given a sophisticated analysis of Palestinian Prime Minister Fayyad’s state-building actions, an acute explanation of how narrow his window was, and

Egyptian Muslims Serve As Human Shields During Coptic Christmas Services

CPAC infiltrated by radical gays, radical Muslims
I noted last week that the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington is currently the target of a Boycott by social Conservatives over the inclusion of the gay Republican group GOProud. Now, CPAC has angered a separate segment of the Conservative Movement by allowing the conservative group Muslims for America to participate.  As Politico's Ben Smith quipped, "Who knew that creeping Sharia was so gay-friendly?" The conservative news site WorldNetDaily, which has been trum...

Conservatives and gays and Muslims -- oh my
Conservatives AND GAYS AND MuslimS -- OH MY.... The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), arguably the nation's largest annual right-wing gathering, kicks off in about a month. Under normal circumstances, the buzz would be about the speakers' list and the size of the crowd. And that would make sense. This should be an especially big year for CPAC -- emboldened Republican Party Leaders will be on hand to boast about their right-wing agenda, and a legion of likely presidential candida...

Bigots Still Think All Muslims are Terrorists
If there was any doubt that Frank Gaffney (the conservative National Security "expert" who has called President Obama "America's first Muslim President" and has stated that the U.S. Missle Defense Agency's logo is a secret manifestation of the President's secret Muslim faith, that the President is not an American Citizen, and that the President sends secret coded messages to Al-Qaeda and the Taliban that the United States plans to sub...

Right-Wingers Claim Muslim Brotherhood Has Infiltrated CPAC
The right-wing site World Net Daily and conservative columnist Frank Gaffney came up with a new reason this week to hate the Conservative Political Action Conference, arguing that it has been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood thanks to Grover Norquist, the Republican group Muslims For America, and Ex-Bush Staffer Suhail Khan. In an interview with TPM today, Khan described how "every few months there's a different iteration of [Gaffney] and his cohorts' wild accusations," but it is simply u...

For the record, this does bother me
I usually, as a rule, do not link to WorldNetDaily — But this story here stands out a bit…. Via Farah’s Site: WASHINGTON - Another Headache has emerged for the largest annual gathering of Conservatives slated for next month. With the Conservative Political Action Conference under fire for allowing participation by a Homosexual Activist group called GOProud and for a financial Scandal in which some $400,000 was misappropriated under the watch of current leadership, Frank Gaf...

Absurd CPAC drama continues
The infighting amongst Conservatives escalated this week as Focus on the Family became the latest sponsor of CPAC to threaten a Boycott of the conference because of the role GOProud, a gay conservative group, is playing this year: Focus on the Family and other conservative ministries are boycotting or questioning their commitment to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C., next month because a gay Advocacy Group is cosponsoring the event. Tom Minnery, senior vice ...

GAFFNEY REMINDS US WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL OF NORQUIST
Frank Gaffney has written on Big Peace about some serious downsides to CPAC, including misappropriation of funds, and even most disturbingly, Islam apologists Grover Norquist and Suhail Khan, who are covered in this important WND article here. Norquist and Khan's involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood is something that Conservatives who understand the threat of Islamofascism and shari'a are going to have to ponder, because in order to combat the threats effectively, that's why they must not b...

Conservatives claim anti-tax crusader secretly leading Muslim indoctrination
Stumble This! Are a growing cross-section of American Conservatives really secret Muslims bent on destroying western civilization? But that's not stopping right-wing Activist Frank Gaffney from claiming the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) had been infiltrated by radical Muslims because of the inclusion of Americans for Tax Reform president Grover Norquist and former Bush Staffer Suhail Khan. American Conservative Union (ACU), the oldest conservative lobbying organization in the ...

Allen West, Scapegoater of Muslims
Think Progress: Rep. Allen West (R-FL), a newly-elected member who has loudly scapegoated Muslims and campaigned on a promise to oppose religious diversity, appeared on Frank Gaffney’s radio program last week. Gaffney, who routinely says that Obama is both a secret Muslim and a member of the “Muslim Brotherhood,” asked West about how the new Republican Congress plans to “take on Sharia as the enemy threat doctrine?” West said that, although he has not spoken with a...

Sarkozy: Mideast Christians Victims of 'Cleansing'
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Friday that Christian Minorities in the Middle East are Victims of "religious cleansing", following deadly attacks on churches in the region. "We cannot accept and thereby facilitate what looks more and more like a particularly wicked programme of cleansing in the Middle East, religious cleansing," he said in an annual New Year's address to Religious Leaders.

Goldberg: Media Overlook Islamist Slaughter of Christians
Jeffrey Goldberg, national correspondent for The Atlantic, criticizes the "lackadaisical" media coverage of the December 31 Suicide bombing of a Coptic church in Alexandria, Egypt which killed 21 people and wounded 79. Jihadists are suspected in the attack, which occurred following numerous threats against Copts and other Middle East Christians by Al-Qaida linked groups.
