Islamic State Cites 'Grievances,' Claims Victimhood against Murdered Christians
American Thinker.com ^ | April 28, 2021 | Raymond Ibrahim

The Islamic State in Sinai recently executed another Christian on video. In a clip recorded before the execution, the slain Copt, Nabil H. Salama, 62, "confessed" to his crime: building the only church in Bir al-Abd in Sinai — a church that was supposedly "cooperating with the Egyptian army's and intelligence's war on the Islamic State."

Although Salama offered this "confession" only after being tortured — after his front teeth were busted out of his mouth — the charge that Coptic churches are actively and nefariously working to undermine the Islamic order is as widespread among Egypt's Islamists as it is constantly morphing in absurd directions.

Thus, in an unrestrained tirade back in 2010, Muhammad Salim al-Awwa, former secretary-general of the International Union for Muslim Scholars, appeared on Al-Jazeera and accused the Copts, not of "cooperating" with the Egyptian military, but of "stocking arms and ammunitions in their churches and monasteries" — imported from Israel no less, "the heart of the Coptic Cause" — and "preparing to wage war against Muslims." He warned that if nothing is done, the "country will burn" and incited Muslims to "counteract the strength of the [Coptic] Church."

In reality, all that ever "burns" are Coptic churches at the hands of Muslims — as when nearly 70 churches were attacked and many destroyed following the ouster of the Muslim Brotherhood's Muhammad Morsi. This is to say nothing of all the Coptic churches that have been bombed, leaving scores of Christian worshipers dead, by terrorists. To name just some of the more notable incidents: On Palm Sunday, 2017, two Coptic churches were bombed and 50 worshipers killed; on Sunday, December 11, 2016,

Same game plan that turned a once prosperous North Africa into a depopulated wasteland reclaimed by the Sahara.

We need a new version of the Crusades. This time from planes overhead is OK with me.

Rules of Engagement with Muslims (hasn’t changed in 1200 years) -

1. If Infidels are present, Sunni with unite with Shi’a sect to enslave (physical, sexual, financial), convert, or annihilate remaining infidels

2. If no Infidels are present, Sunni will turn against Shi’a sects to annihilate one another until there is a ‘winner’.
