Muslim Brotherhood Are Crucifying People
Live and Local ^ | August 18, 2012 | Bill Hitchcock

The Muslim Brotherhood are crucifying people according to several prominent Arabic News agencies including Arab News, Al Khabar News, Dostor Watany, and Egypt Now. Christians are warned to leave Egypt.

Sky News, “confirmed that 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.”

“The Copts (Egyptian Christians) 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,” said Center for Security Policy Senior Fellow Clare Lopez .

“Crucifixion is a hadd punishment, stipulated in the Quran, Sura 5:33, and therefore an obligatory part of Shariah,” Lopez said. “It’s been a traditional punishment within Islam since the beginning, even though it’s not exclusively Islamic. The Romans used it too.

“So, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood haven’t the option to not include crucifixion within their legal code. It’s obligatory to comply with Shariah. And yes, it’s for shock value also to be sure,” Lopez said.

For complete details on this breaking story about Muslims Crucifying Christians and anti-Morsi protesters go to WND and Algemeiner.

" If they nailed them to a tree, that’s not really crucifixion"

Not really. Nailing people to a post or tree is crucifixion. Sure it is. Remember the passage, cursed is anyone hung on a tree, applied to Jesus? http://bible.cc/galatians/3-13.htm

Sometimes the Greek word for wood is used of the cross. The word ξύλον "wood" occurs a total of 20 times in the New Testament.

Jesus was crucified on a post with a cross bar as we know to die for our sins. He was cursed on our behalf.

But, I think that nailing someone to a literal tree would still qualify as an act of crucifixion.

This from Wikipedia:

Ancient Greek has two verbs for crucify: ana-stauro (ἀνασταυρόω), from stauros, "stake", and apo-tumpanizo (ἀποτυμπανίζω) "crucify on a plank." [4] together with anaskolopizo (ἀνασκολοπίζω "impale"). In earlier pre-Roman Greek texts anastauro usually means "impale."[5][6][7] The word xylon "piece of wood" was also used, but for a gallows, not a stake, as in the Aristophanes comedy The Frogs; "if you stumble, at least you'll hang from a respectable tree."[8]

The Latin term crux may mean a gallows[9][10] or a stake.[11]

The English term crucifix derives from the Latin crucifixus or cruci fixus, past participle passive of crucifigere or cruci figere, meaning "to crucify" or "to fix to a cross".[12]

I wouldn’t think of dispelling it, only adding to it. Those subordinate generals did some incredibly brutal, and effective stuff, and be assured the worst tale or two you have read is just the tip of the iceberg, as it were.

But that was their job. Pershing, on the other hand, played the “gentle, grandfatherly role” of a commander perfectly—and this is characteristic of real ass-kickers of commanders. At first glance you can imagine them on an easy chair at home, dawdling their grandchildren on their knee.

Even their own soldiers often think of their commanders as real softies, the truth of the matter known only to the senior officers of their command. From the soldier’s point of view, the real terror is the commander’s executive officer, who plays the “bad cop”, usually with the Command Sergeant Major in tow, as his “henchman”.

It should also be noted that at the lower levels of command in the Philippines, a lot of the junior officers were real swashbuckler types, who pulled off some of the most amazing stunts to disrupt enemy operations.

One of my favorites were three guys who dressed up as Moros, one with his leg in a splint hobbling alone with the other two holding him up. Then they sat in the front row of a rally led by an effective Moro commander to perhaps several hundred of his followers.

The splint was a shotgun. And in the ensuing hubbub, the three managed to make good their escape. By the time their own command found out what they had done, they had returned home, cleaned up and changed back into uniform, gone to the officer’s club and were drunk.

Nah, barry isn’t the anti-Christ. Evil, yes, however; the anti-Christ will NOT need a teleprompter.
