The Egyptian priest, who is an authority on Islam, discusses the factors driving the murderous attacks on Christians and what he hopes the Pope will say when he visits Egypt this month.
VATICAN CITY — Oil money, Wahhabi extremism and an Islam unwilling to reform itself are the principal reasons for the terrorist attacks on two Egyptian churches on Palm Sunday and the rise of Islamism over the past 100 years.
This is according to Jesuit Father Samir Khalil Samir, professor of Islamic studies at the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome, who says it is false when people say such attacks have nothing to do with Islam. “ISIS is not doing anything which is neither in the Quran nor in the Mohammedan tradition,” he says.
In this April 10 interview with the Register, Father Samir — who is Egyptian himself — discusses the main motivations behind Islamic violence, why it’s important to say exactly how things are within Islam and help reform it, and his hopes for Pope Francis’ April 28-29 visit to Egypt.
What are the primary causes of these attacks? What’s behind them? Is it primarily to do with Islam, politics or something else?
For a year or more, the Muslim Brotherhood were attacking regularly during the presidency of Mohamed Morsi (2012-2013); they were attacking Christians, for any reason. For instance, they alleged a Christian who was building a house for his two children was in fact not building a house, but a church, so they are trying to make problems for the Christians. This happens regularly, but it became much more intense.
Now this time, what we hear from Egypt is that ISIS is saying they are behind these attacks, but there’s also support from the Muslim Brotherhood because they were ejected from the political system. The feeling....

Islam is evil.
Allah is Satan.
Know Islam, No Peace - No Islam, Know Peace
Mad Mo made it so
A sickness within a malady. Not treatable.
It’s a feature, not a bug.
Islam is a lot like the KKK. The hatred is part of their scripture, and part of their daily lives. The Muslim Brotherhood has been burning churches in Egypt for years, and no coverage from the western press.
Islam seeks to destroy those unlike themselves, or force them into a lesser social status of dhimmitude, i.e. make them pay a tax, the Jizya, and wear certain identifying clothes, and enforce the inability to repair their religious buildings, and the demand that they never pray that loud that a Muslim can hear you. And yes, they were not allowed weapons - sound familiar. It was Islam that made Jews wear the yellow star, over 1000 years ago. Hitler learned from them, and that’s why he loved them so much. Islam was a conquering, militaristic, unforgiving, Jew-hating imperialistic religion that appealed to Hitler very much. The feelings were reciprocated.

Well father Samir- that aint the only thing that proves there is a demonic sickness in islam:

Hate and violence are key features in Islam/Koran and Hadiths. Repeated many times, not mere imperfections. Islam needs to be defeated not just amended.
Islam IS a sickness. Needs to be exterminated like deadly bacteria.
The sickness IS islam.
Where are the mass protests by “moderate Muslims” against this highjacking of Islam and in solidarity with their Egyptian Christian brothers?
Won’t happen...and if it does they’ll just send women out...their scapegoats for everything.
What ISIS fails to grasp is they can do no real harm to those who belong to Christ. When they martyr a Christian all they accomplish is sending the person to Heaven to rest in Christs arms forever and spreading the Christian faith further. The person that trusts Christ for salvation can never be truly harmed.
Islam feels the same way.
Difference is we don’t kill people if they don’t convert or want to leave...and they will go to hell thought they won’t know it til they get there.
As I understand Islam the only way they can be sure of attaining paradise is to die while killing infidels Christian’s have a blest assurance and peace no one can take from them And regardless of what ISIS believes they will never see the inside of Heaven without a saving faith in Jesus Christ
This is likely the reason Egyptian churches will be full on Easter I often wonder if we in the US would have such a clear witness in the face of persecution I suspect we will find out
There is no sickness within *slam. *slam is the sickness.
Islam is a blight devastating mankind nothing more. It was dreamed up by a homicidal pervert and forced on the people. It still is being forced on people. Many lesser intelligent life forms AKA liberals in the USA seem to want to perpetuate Islam even though its teachings are against the same liberals
Rotten at its core and at its core is Mohammed.
“...and what he hopes the Pope will say when he visits Egypt this month.”
Get a life. Like words from the pope hold any weight.
AMEN!
The Christian churches are always full on Easter Sunday.
