Muslims Behead Another Christian Pastor (The religion of peace?)

Muslims Behead Another Christian Pastor

February 22, 2013 | Raymond Ibrahim

Published by Gatestone Institute

A Christian pastor was recently slaughtered in the Muslim-majority African nation of Tanzania.  While butchering Christian minorities is becoming increasingly common in that part of the Muslim world, the context for this latest slaughter is somewhat different than the usual forms of Christian persecution under Islam—such as allegations of “blaspheming” the name of Muslim prophet Muhammad.  And yet, as in most forms of modern-day Muslim attacks on Christians, it too fits patterns and precedents.

On February 11, Pastor Mathayo Kachili of the Tanzania Assemblies of God Church was beheaded by Muslims.  According to the report, a spokesperson from the local police department

said conflicts had been boiling for quite a while now in the area where a section of what are believed to be Muslim leaders had demanded immediate closure of butcheries owned by Christians.  He said that a group of youths believed to be Muslims assaulted several Christians using sticks and machetes and attacked a butchery owner at Buseresere town. During the confrontations pastor Kachili was beheaded.

According to Religious Liberty Monitoring this latest slaying “has its source in a debate presently raging in Tanzania. Apparently it is a ‘long-standing tradition’ in Tanzania that Muslims have a monopoly on the meat industry.  Recently however, Christians in Geita district, Mwanza region—on the southern shores of Lake Victoria—have entered the butchery trade, causing outrage amongst Muslims.”

Tensions got to the point that the Minister of State in the President’s Office responsible for social relations “categorically directed that the task of slaughtering animals for public consumption should be executed only by Muslims. He said that people of other faiths may slaughter animals if the meat is solely for family/private consumption—but certainly not for sale to, or consumption by, the general public.”

But if they still insist on working in the trade, then they must, according to Karl Lyimo of the Citizen, be “ready, willing, able and glad to follow the Islamic rituals to the letter”—which is tantamount to saying Christians need to convert to Islam if they want to remain in the business.

Does this conflict simply revolve around Muslim fears of mistakenly eating non-halal meat, or, as has been known to happen, are Muslims attacking and killing non-Muslims for being business competitors, while articulating their hostility in the garb of Islamic piety?

For instance, in March 2010 in Pakistan—a nation which shares neither race, language nor culture with Tanzania, which shares only Islam—Rasheed Masih, described as a “devoted Christian,” was butchered by Muslim men “with multiple axe blows for refusing to convert to Islam.” Earlier, the “six men had threatened to kill 36-year-old Rasheed Masih unless he converted to Islam when they grew resentful of his potato business succeeding beyond their own.”… Continue reading.

Indonesian Muslims Scale Church Gates to Threaten, Strangle Minister

Posted on February 17, 2013 by creeping

Interfaith tolerance in the Muslim world. via Indonesia Church Officials Face Violence, Jail Time for Conducting Services | The Jakarta Globe. h/t bukan

The wife of a church minister who was jailed two weeks ago for allegedly conducting a service without a permit also faces arrest for defying an order from local authorities to stop holding services at a church in Sumedang, West Java.

Minister Bernhard Maukar and his wife, Corry, were holding a service at their Pentecostal church (GPdI) in Mekargalih village, Jatinangor subdistrict, on Jan. 27, when it was attacked by members of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), who claimed that the church did not have a valid permit to operate.

CCTV footage obtained by the Jakarta Globe shows details of the attack where a gang of about 50 members from the hard-line organization scaled the gates of the religious facility, caused havoc and destruction within the place of worship and physically threatened the minister — at one point using Bernhard’s necktie to strangle him.

Bernhard was arrested by officials from the Sumedang Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) two days later for continuing to hold services without a valid permit, which breaks a 2005 local government law.

The minister is currently serving a three-month sentence at the Sumedang prison as he could not pay the Rp 25 million ($2,600) fine ordered by the district court.

Corry said this is the third major act of violence the FPI has inflicted upon them in the past two years.

The grandmother explained that the latest attack on the church, which has been running for 26 years, had significantly traumatized the 400-member congregation, many of whom are now too afraid to return.

Muslims burn churches, “hitting the Serbs where it hurts them the most”

Muslims burn churches, “hitting the Serbs where it hurts them the most”

via BosNewsLife » Kosovo’s Serb Christians Face “Rising Attacks” Against Orthodox Sites.

Serbian Orthodox Christians in Kosovo struggle with a “sharp rise” in threats and vandalism against their churches and other religious sites, human rights investigators told BosNewsLife Tuesday, January 22.

Since this month’s Orthodox Christmas assailants attacked a monastery, set on fire a chapel and wooden crosses, and destroyed over 100 Orthodox tombstones, reported Belgrade-based Balkan rights group Centar 9.

The clashes are linked to anger within Kosovo’s mainly Muslim Albanian population about the removal of a memorial to fallen fighters in neighboring Serbia.

A memorial to Islamic terrorists the US failed to condemn.

Thousands of ethnic Albanians protested after some 200 masked Serbian police officers backed by armored personnel carriers removed the monument Sunday, January 20, in the town of Presevo.

It bore the names of 27 ethnic Albanian fighters killed during the 2000 conflict in the Presevo Valley, a spillover from the 1999 war in Kosovo, Serbia’s former province.

Local media reported that the ‘Albanian National Army’ group asked supporters on social website Facebook to retaliate by “hitting the Serbs where it hurts them the most,” an apparent reference to churches and other religious sites.

Soon after, dozens of men were seen marching to the Serbian monastery

‘Assumption of the Holy Mother of God’ in Kosovo, which was recently rebuild after being demolished in a 2004 demonstration.

Kosovo police, backed by international police and peacekeepers, dispersed the crowd after they threw stones and firecrackers in last Sunday’s unrest, witnesses said.

Elsewhere, a small chapel was set on fire at an Orthodox graveyard in the ethnically mixed village of Milosevo, while in Priluzje village unknown attackers burned several wooden crosses and exploded a large tombstone, Centar 9 told BosNewsLife.

The January 20-21 unrest also saw the destruction of dozens of Orthodox tombstones, including 27 in Klokot village, Centar 9 said.

The monument also remembers Serbian children killed in ethnic clashes in 2003 near the Bistrica river.

“This [shooting] incident greatly disturbed thousands of Serbs still living in this area,” the group explained.

Tensions have risen since earlier this month 56 Orthodox tombstones were destroyed at the Kosovo Polje graveyard, “in the midst of Serbian Eastern Orthodox celebrations of Christmas holidays,” Centar 9 added.

Kosovo police has been blamed for playing down the violence by reportedly saying the Christmas incident happened at the same location of previous graveyard vandalism. “The incident occurred in Kosovo Polje, in central Kosovo, and not in the village of Makarabe,” as claimed by police, Centar 9 said.

United Nations representatives condemned the attacks.

Fewer than 100,000 Serbs, many of them Orthodx Christians, have remained in Kosovo following a post-war exodus of non-Albanians. They live in separate areas watched over by NATO peacekeepers.

Western diplomats have expressed frustration over the slow progress towards reconciliation among the different groups. Kosovo, which broke away and later declared independence from Serbia in 2008, is recognized by some 90 nations, but not by Serbia and its key veto-wielding ally Russia.

NY: Muslim Gang Attacks Catholic Student with Bat, Tire Iron (video)

Posted on January 18, 2013 by creeping

#MyJihad is catching on all over the U.S. from the White House to the streets of your town. via “Palestinian Prince” and Muslim Gang Savagely Assault Catholic Student Committed to Non-Violence (VIDEO).

Kevin McCarron, a 24 year old student who graduated from Providence College, had stopped by Artichoke Basille’s Pizza, an upscale pizza place on one of Greenwich Village’s narrow tree-lined streets where cafes, taverns and restaurants cater to the large student population in nearby New York University.

But while McCarron, his brother and his friends, had stopped by Artichoke Basille’s, at 111 McDougal Street, Sherif Rizk was celebrating his graduation as a Political Science student at Brooklyn College, along with a gang of Muslim friends a little way down at 119 McDougal Street where Mamoun’s Falafel Restaurant to the left of a sleazy ATM and the Comedy Cellar.

In the seventies, the Village Voice had claimed that Henry Kissinger could take a lesson from Mamoun’s where “Arabs and Jews” eat the same table. But the lesson that would be tonight was of a very different kind.

The Muslim group was sitting on the car that McCarron and his friends were planning to drive home from their New York City outing and became aggressive when they were asked to get off.

McCarron, who had graduated with a degree in public and community services studies and participated in a Catholic church’s ministry for “the study and practice of nonviolence”, tried to defuse the situation.

“We are going to f— you up,”  one of the Muslims answered. Arming themselves with a baseball and tire irons from the trunk of their car, at least seven of them assaulted Kevin McCarron, fracturing his skull.

Sherif Rizk was arrested by the police. As was Hatem Farsakh. Facebook and MySpace profiles that may belong to Farsakh show that he calls himself the “Palestinian Prince.” Sherif Rizk’s “Likes” apparently include, “Daily Dawah”, “I need Allah in my life”, “Occupy Wall Street”, “Prophet Mohammed”, “Sucka 4 Blondes”, “I’m a Muslim and I’m Proud”,  “Israel is Not a Country” and “Please Say Yes to Support a Ban on Cartoons of Prophet Mohammed.”

The other five are still at large. Kevin McCarron is in critical condition at the hospital and may have permanent damage to his motor skills. However Hatem is already out on $5,000 bail. Sherif Rizk Rizk’s bail was set at $30,000 after being charged with attempted murder, gang assault and assault.

Rizk’s father claims that the assault was really self-defense.

Egyptian (religion of peace) Cleric Threatens Christian Copts with Genocide

Egyptian Cleric Threatens Christian Copts with Genocide

December 28, 2012 | Raymond Ibrahim

Published by Gatestone Institute

Islamic leaders continue to portray the popular protests against President Morsi and his recently passed Sharia-heavy constitution as products of Egypt’s Christians. Recently, Muslim Brotherhood leader Safwat Hegazy said in an open rally, as captured on video:

A message to the church of Egypt, from an Egyptian Muslim: I tell the church — by Allah, and again, by Allah — if you conspire and unite with the remnants [opposition] to bring Morsi down, that will be another matter…. our red line is the legitimacy of Dr. Muhammad Morsi. Whoever splashes water on it, we will splash blood on him.”

Dr. Wagdi Ghoneim

More recently, Dr. Wagdi Ghoneim — who earlier praised Allah for the death of the late Coptic Pope Shenouda, cursing him to hell and damnation on video — made another video, entitled, “A Notice and Warning to the Crusaders in Egypt,” a reference to the nation’s Copts, which he began by saying, “You are playing with fire in Egypt, I swear, the first people to be burned by the fire are you [Copts].” The video was made in the context of the Tahrir protests against Morsi: Islamic leaders, such as Hegazy and Ghoneim, seek to portray the Copts as dominant elements in those protests; according to them, no real Muslim would participate. Ghoneim even went on to say that most of the people at the protests were Copts, “and we know you hid your [wrist] crosses by lowering your sleeves.”

The heart of Ghoneim’s message was genocidal: “The day Egyptians — and I don’t even mean the Muslim Brotherhood or Salafis, regular Egyptians — feel that you are against them, you will be wiped off the face of the earth. I’m warning you now: do not play with fire!”

Along with trying to incite Egypt’s Muslims against the Copts, and threatening them with annihilation, Ghoneim made other telling assertions, including:

  • Addressing the Christians of Egypt as “Crusaders,” once again showing Islam’s simplistic, black-and-white vision, which clumps all Christians — of all nations, past and present, regardless of historical context and denomination — as one, in accordance with an Islamic tradition that states “All infidels are one religion.”
  • Comparing Christian Copts to animals: “Respect yourselves and live with us and we will protect you… Why?… because Allah has forbidden me to be cruel to animals. I’m not trying to compare you to animals … but if I am not cruel to animals or plants, shall I be cruel to a soul created by Allah? You are an infidel in Allah’s sight — and it is for him to judge you. However, when you live in my country, it is forbidden for me to be unjust to you — but that doesn’t mean we are equal. No, oh no.”
  • Telling Copts: “I want to remind you that Egypt is a Muslim country…. if you don’t like the Muslim Sharia, you have eight countries that have a Cross on their flag [in Europe], so go to them. However, if you want to stay here in Egypt with us, know your place and be respectful. You already have all your rights — by Allah, even more than Muslims… No one investigates your homes, no one investigates your churches. In fact, in the past, the Islamic groups used to fake their IDs and put Christian names on them when they would go out for [jihadi] operations, so that when the police would catch them, they would see they are Christians and be left alone.” Ghoneim misses the irony of what he says: Police know that Egyptian Christians are not going to engage in terror; Egyptian Muslims are suspect.
  • Saying, in mocking tones, towards the end: “What do you think — that America will protect you? Let’s be very clear, America will not protect you. If so, it would have protected the Christians of Iraq when they were being butchered!” — a reference to the fact that, after the U.S. ousted Saddam Hussein, half of Iraq’s Christian population has either been butchered or fled the nation, and all under U.S. auspices.
  • Claiming that the Copts are only four million while the Muslims are 85 million — even as Coptic Orthodox Church registries maintain that there are more than 15 million Copts, and most outside analysts say 10 million, in Egypt— and adding that Morsi was only being nice by saying, as he did during one of his speeches: “There are no minorities in Egypt.” Ghoneim fails to explain, if Copts are so few — four million compared to 85 million — how could they be so influential, and flood the Tahrir protests with such large numbers?
  • Mocking new Coptic Pope Tawadros—not surprising considering his great hate for the former Pope—by claiming that the new Pope urged Copts to protest; that the new Pope wants to see Morsi and Sharia law fall, and by adding, “Is it not enough that you have all those monasteries?”

Bandits in Syrian Opposition Behead Christian, Feed Him to Dogs

As I wrote on Dec. 9, while Obama was taking a ‘wait and see’ approach to Syria insurgents, those affiliated with Al Qaeda flooded the ranks of the Syrian opposition. Even supporters of the Free Syrian Army describe these men as "bandits" — as "rogue elements" within the Free Syrian Army that carry out "atrocities."

And now, the news has gotten even worse with reports that these "bandits" kidnapped and beheaded a Christian named Andrei Arbashe, allegedly because his brother had spoken negatively about them.

Moreover, after they beheaded him they fed him to dogs.

This brings to light what Breitbart News has been warning about throughout the Obama administration’s increased funding for the Syrian Opposition and the Dec. 13th recognition of the Syrian Opposition as the legitimate authority in Syria — how can the Obama admin tell the Al Qaeda operatives and/or bandits from the true Syrian opposition?

How do we know money isn’t going to those who wish to behead Christians and feed them to dogs?

When Sister Agnes-Mariam addressed the media on behalf of Arbashe’s family she raised these very concerns. Speaking critically of the U.S. and Britain she said: "The free and democratic world is supporting extremists [that] want to impose Sharia law and create an Islamic State in Syria."

Pakistani Muslim Mob Beats Man to Death over "Blasphemy"

Posted: 22 Dec 2012 12:38 PM PST

But Muslim organizations in the U.S. continue to assure us that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. Question: Why are Muslim groups like CAIR and ISNA so desperate to convince non-Muslims that Islam is peaceful, when they could be focusing their efforts on showing violent Muslims that Islam is peaceful?

PAKISTAN–A mob in Pakistan has stormed a police station and beaten to death a Muslim man accused of desecrating the Koran.
The victim’s body was then set alight, according to witnesses.
The unnamed victim had earlier been handed over to the police after burnt pages of the Koran were found in a mosque in Dadu district, 330km (200 miles) north of Karachi, where he had been staying overnight.
Hours later a mob went to the police station, seized the man and killed him.
The district police chief, Usman Ghani, told the BBC the gruesome incident was filmed on mobile phones. He said the footage was being reviewed to identify culprits.
Thirty people have so far been detained in connection with the attack.
The local police chief and five of his officers have been arrested for failing to protect the man.
The BBC’s Shahzeb Jillani says blasphemy is a highly sensitive issue in Pakistan, where scores of people have been killed by mobs or vigilantes.
Our correspondent in Karachi adds that the controversial laws are often misused to persecute minorities or settle scores. (Continue Reading.)

Buffalo: Somali Muslim gets 25 years for gagging, beating 10-year old stepson to death with rolling pin

Posted on December 20, 2012 by creeping

Not news in the U.S. the brutal crime took place. Ali-Mohamed Mohamud found guilty of beating stepson to death with rolling pin | Mail Online.

Ali-Mohamed Mohamud was convicted Thursday of second-degree murder for beating to death his 10-year-old stepson.

Homicide detectives and prosecutors in Buffalo, New York, said the case was one of the worst they had ever seen.

After duct-taping a sock in the boy’s mouth and binding his hands with electrical cord, the stepfather savagely beat the boy so bad he separated the his head from the spinal cord, crushing the back of his head and exposing his brain, according to court testimony.

An autopsy found he had been struck 70 times.

It was almost a year before his death that police were called to the house by the frightened ten-year-old, who told them he was being abused, calling back shortly after to tell them to hurry.

Officers reported they did not see any physical signs of abuse on the child when they arrived on April 18, 2011, though they did not ask him to take his clothes off for a closer examination.

According to the Buffalo News, Mohamud downplayed the boy’s claims of abuse by saying he and his stepson were at odds over him doing homework.

School administrators and teachers said that Abdifatah was a good student who always submitted his homework on time. Two essays he wrote revealed he won awards for his work and was at one stage a top student in his class. He also said his teacher Miss Poole was his hero.

Mohamud is married to the boy’s mother, Shukri, and both have children from previous relationships totaling six children, according to the Buffalo News.

Principal at International Preparatory School, where the ten-year-old was a fifth-grade student, said there were troubling warning signs, but the family did a good job of covering it up.

Or the Islamic school that teaches the Koran ignored the obvious.

Kathy Jamil said in June 2011 he came to school badly beaten up with a swollen forehead and two swollen, black eyes. His father told his teacher he had been in a fight on the bus with another boy.

article-2135646-12C8B191000005DC-491_634x366

He had that day been ‘horsing around’ with another student but no one actually witnessed the alleged fight.

Principal Jamil said: ‘It was very suspicious. But because the student had admitted to wrestling with him and pushing him, it was very possible that he had just got hit the wrong way on the window.

‘I tried to stress in him that he would be safe with me, and he said, “I just had a fight on the bus.”CPS officials were also said to have investigated after the boy showed up severely bruised at school but never saw fit to remove him from the home.

Principal Jamil also revealed to WIVB 4 that Abdifatah would say alarming things like: ‘I’m going to get killed, I’m going to be in so much trouble’, but then would follow it by laughing so no one was really sure if he was telling the truth.

The cops were likely scared to do anything for fear of being labeled Islamophobic and the Islamic school kept it within their community.
