MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD LEADER CALLS EGYPT’S MILITARY CHIEF WORSE THAN PHARAOH, ReallY? read below.


Muslim Brotherhood and the killing and persecution of Christians in Egypt

But, this Arab Spring has a darker side. With the rise of Islamization comes the rise of oppression and violence against Christians across the Middle East.
Now, embolden by the Muslim Brotherhood rising to power in Egypt, Muslim jihadist organizations are openly calling for genocide against the Egyptian 

Christian population. The extremist group El Fagr openly distributed leaflets 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” (bit.ly/PjQep0). The next day, Christian Refaat Eskander was murdered while tending to his shoe store in Asyut.

After their churches were repeatedly attacked and burned in October 2011, Egypt’s Coptic Christians took to the streets of Alexandria in protest. The response from the Egyptian military was swift and brutal. The army opened fire into the crowd and then charged in with armored personnel carriers, running over the Christians. At least 25 Christians were killed and many more injured.

The Muslim Brotherhood is now turning also to crucifixion as a form of punishment. During a protest in Cairo on 16 August 2012, according to a Sky News Arabic reporter “protestors belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood crucified those opposing Egyptian President Muhammad Morsi naked on trees in front of the presidential palace while abusing others. Likewise, Muslim Brotherhood supporters locked the doors of the media production facilities of 6-October [a major media region in Cairo], where they proceeded to attack several popular journalists” (bit.ly/N4gm1u).

Crucifixion is sanctioned by the Koran which states “The punishment of anyone who fight against Allah and His apostle and do mischief in the land is to be killed or crucified or to have their hands and feet from opposite ends or be banished from the land.” (Quran: The table spread). According to Clare Lopez, a Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy, “Crucifixion is a hadd punishment, stipulated in the Quran, Sura 5:33, and therefore an obligatory part of Shariah” (bit.ly/OGKKF1).

Al Azhar, Egypt’s most authoritative Islamic institution, has just issued a fatwa calling for more violence and oppression, saying that “fighting participants in anti-Muslim Brotherhood demonstrations planned for 24 August is a religious obligation” (bit.ly/N4gm1u). But the worst persecution is reserved for Christians.“The Copts must get out of Egypt as soon as possible – for the many millions who will not be able to get out, I expect things will continue to deteriorate – just as they did for Germany’s and Europe’s Jews from the 1930s onward,” Lopez said.
“The warnings were there long before the ghettos and round-ups and one-way train trips to the concentration camps began in the 1940s,” she said (bit.ly/N4gm1u).




The Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Leader is accusing Egypt’s military chief who forced former President Mohammed Morsi out of power of acting worse than Pharaoh, comparing his behavior in recent days to “the bitter Zionist enemies and their treacherous agents.”
This latest tirade from Supreme Leader Mohammed Badie comes on the heels of bloody weekend clashes between supporters of Morsi and security forces that claimed the lives of 72 people, according to the Health Ministry, Egypt Independent reports.
Badie is accusing Defense Minister and Commander of the Egyptian Military Gen. Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of “committing massacres the likes of which we have only seen committed by the bitter Zionist enemies and their treacherous agents.”

He also accused Israel of pulling the strings behind the scenes of the so-called Arab Spring protests that have gripped the Arab world for the past two years, attributing to the Jewish state expansionist ambitions. “Zionist fingers are at play in countries of the Arab Spring, so as to fulfill the vision of the Great Israel.”
Badie continued with his theory, accusing the “Zionists” (i.e. Israel) of planting assassins in Libya and Tunisia to target more secular political activists opposed to Islamist rule.
Ynet reports that Badie suggested that Gen. Sisi is worse than the biblical Pharaoh. Badie said that Pharaoh killed children of believers and let women live, while Sisi and the security forces “are worse; you kill everybody.”
The Egyptian presidency says it is “saddened” by the weekend bloodshed but linked the killings to “terrorism.”
Al Arabiya reports that Mostafa Hegazy, an adviser to interim President Adly Mansour, told reporters, “We are saddened by the spilling of blood on the 27th.” But he added “we cannot decouple this [incident] from the context of terrorism.”

For their part, demonstrators and Morsi supporters accuse security forces of having used live fire against unarmed protesters on Saturday. Al Arabiya reports that the Interior Ministry insists security forces fired only tear gas.
An investigation has been launched into the circumstances behind Saturday’s bloody events. Hegazy says the Egyptian leadership will “be taking a stance after investigation ends, regardless of whoever is found responsible.”
But even before the investigation ends, he is calling the protest site in Cairo a “terror-originating spot,” adding “There is a wave of terror and we will break this wave.”

Besides Badie, other Brotherhood officials are also firing back against the new Egyptian leadership. Ynet reports that senior Freedom and Justice Party [linked with the Muslim Brotherhood] official Essam el-Erian posted on Facebook, “They will not be content until they bring back everything from the era of the corrupt, murderous security and intelligence state.”
“They’ve stepped up their efforts to do so by committing massacres never before seen in Egyptian history,” he added.
Badie has made a variety of anti-Israel statements in the past including a call for Muslims to wage“Holy Jihad” to conquer Jerusalem from Israel.
He has also referred to Jews repeatedly as “apes” and “pigs” in his speeches.  Here is oneexample cited by the Investigative Project: “The Zionists, the West and the lackey rulers conspired together. If the Muslim Brotherhood had remained in the field, the Zionist Entity would not have stood not its flag raised. Of old God forced the Jews to become pigs,” Badie said in a 2010 sermon.
