Catholic leader fears Islamic takeover in Egypt
Catholic culture ^ | 9 May 2011 | Catholic Culture

Posted on 05/10/2011 2:56:35 AM PDT by Cronos

A spokesman for Egypt’s small Catholic community has appealed to international leaders to support the country’s existing military regime, in order to prevent a takeover by Islamic fundamentalists.

Father Rafic Greich, the press officer for the Egyptian Catholic hierarchy, told the AsiaNews service that the situation for all Christians is “very critical” in the wake of widespread sectarian violence in Cairo. Police have closed down the capital, hoping to curb the violence, in which militant Muslims have attacked Coptic Orthodox churches. While no Catholic churches have yet been attacked, all Christians face an unsettled future, as Islamic fundamentalists show their rising power.

The “Arab spring” uprising that led to the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak was primarily a secular movement, Father Greich says, but the leaders of that movement have not made any subsequent impact on the national political scene, while Islamic groups like the Muslim Brotherhood have moved to augment their power.

So now we see what the whole nation-building plan has been all along.

The United States is building Islamic nations, even if it means eradicating the Christian presence in these countries.

Better stop appealing and start buying some kind of weapon, Christians are about to be holocausted in Egypt and all over the Middle East.

This is the real Islam, Convert or die. Rumors of a Religion of Peace are pure Horse dung.

I am not Prescient but the way things are going I believe it is predictable to say, that one day in the future the Hispanics and the Muslims will be fighting for control of America , while we Anglo Christians will have become so diversified ,so Hybridised, so Homosexualised, so integrated with the blood lines of blacks ,Hispanics, and anything else liberals wish to push on us ,as to not be a force at all.

After all it is racist and homophobic to even argue with those and their thinking that is so superior to ours.

I would say the future of the United States of America is dim, Unless thousands, millions, of Americans wake up and see that we cannot sustain the debt, the social patterns, the entitlement generation that has been propagated by the Socialist thought that everyone is entitled to live the same as his neighbor, whether they work and contribute or not.

Certainly the United States was once considered a Chrisitan nation, perhaps that is the rub. Our Christianity has been taken advantage of. Our Freedoms are being used against us.

People are awakening in europe despite MSM and political croocks. Many political parties are gaining ground which want to stick to their core values and leave the buraucratic EU....

When all of the attacks that you have just described happened in Yugoslavia in the nineties, we sent in American troops to stop the “ethnic cleansing”. What is it about the muslim attacks on Christians and other non-muslims that are happening now are any different from the ethnic cleansing that went on in Yugoslavia? Yet, do we ever hear the term “ethnic cleansing” or “religious cleansing” in the news reports? This religious cleansing is going on in many countries, with the muslims always being the aggressors against their neighbors. Most of the attacks do not make it to television news, when they are mentioned in the news at all, they are referred to as “sectarian conflicts”. The news media are clearly on the side of the aggressor muslims.

The European Union deliberately let in many millions of muslims in order to break down the European culture and cohesiveness. The European Union is pure evil.

Yes and ObaHamas approves EU and that european move toward a big Lebanon where islamism will be more and more powerfull and influent...if we don’t stop it by any means...

That’s probably what Obasama wants for USA.

But the game is not over, europeans are awakening and nationalist and/or conservative political movements are more and more important and EU could explode...

Otherwise i fear civil wars...If we have no choice

In addition, it is obvious for me that ObHamas perfectly knew that the chaos in Egypt, Lybia, Tunisia, Syria, Maroco...in the arabo-muslim world at the same time , would dramatically increase the arabo-muzzlim immigration in Europe...

When Obasama told Mubarak, Ghadafi and Ben Ali ...to leave and give up, he certainly and deliberatly launched the chaos.

Persecution against christians, war against Israel and bigger immigration in Europe are and will be the results of that lunatic policy/ideology
