Exposed: The Final Conversation Between Islamist President Morsi And The Egyptian Military

07/10/2013 Leave a comment

Islamist President Mohammed Morsi vowed to “make it war” and only cared about himself and the Islamist agenda. But then again, that’s the attitude that he and the Muslim Brotherhood have always had from the very beginning …

By Raymond Ibrahim, Frontpage Mag – “On July 5, El Watan (‘the nation’), one of Egypt’s most popular newspapers, published the final dialogue between General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Dr. Muhammad Morsi, which took place on Tuesday July 2, a few hours before Morsi’s final speech to the Egyptian people.  A reporter who was taken to an adjacent room was allowed to witness and transcribe their conversation from a TV screen.  I translate the entire speech as it appears on El Watan below:

Exchange Between Morsi and Sisi

Morsi: What’s the military’s position concerning what’s going on?  Is it just going to stand by watching?  Shouldn’t it protect the legitimacy?

Sisi: What legitimacy?  The entire army is with the will of the people, and the overwhelming majority of people, according to documented reports, don’t want you.

Morsi: My supporters are many and they won’t be silent.

Sisi: The army will not allow anyone to destroy the nation, no matter what happens.

Morsi: What if I don’t want to leave?

Sisi: The matter is settled and no longer up to you.  Try to leave with your dignity and tell those whom you call supporters to go back to their homes in order to prevent bloodshed, instead of threatening the people through them.

Morsi: But this way it will be a military coup, and America won’t leave you alone.

Sisi: The people concern us, not America.  And since you’ve started to talk this way, I’ll talk to you candidly.  We have evidence to condemn you and to condemn many governmental officials of compromising Egypt’s national security.  The judiciary will have its say and you will all be judged before the whole people.

Morsi: Okay, can you permit me to make a few phone calls and then afterwards I’ll decide on what to do?

Sisi: You are not permitted; but we can let you check up on your family only.

Morsi: Am I imprisoned or what?

Sisi: You are under arrest from this moment.

Morsi: Don’t think the Brotherhood is going to stand by if I leave office.  They will set the world on fire. Read more…

Tensions Rise: Egypt Summons Turkish Ambassador In Protest Against ‘Ankara’s Interference In Egyptian Affairs’

07/10/2013 Leave a comment

Does the “king of the North” wish to see the old “king of the South” back in the reins of power? It certainly looks that way, and Egypt’s new leadership isn’t taking too kindly to it.  Although we are certain where the end ultimately leads, what we are not always certain of are some of the roads that must be trodden to get there. “Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch” …

Daniel 11:40a, “At the time of the end the king of the South will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm out against him with chariots and cavalry and a great fleet of ships …”

Friends: Ousted President Morsi with Turkish PM Erdogan

Friends: Ousted President Morsi with Turkish PM Erdogan

By Elad Benari, INN – “Egypt’s foreign ministry summoned Turkey’s ambassador to Cairo on Tuesday, in protest against ‘Ankara’s interference in Egyptian affairs,’ Al Arabiya reported.

The Egyptian move came after Turkey described the overthrow of former president Mohammed Morsi as ‘unacceptable coup’, in a reaction that was seen in Egypt as the strongest reaction from overseas.

On Friday, Turkey’s prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned the military intervention that toppled Morsi as an enemy of democracy.

Erdogan chastised the West for failing to brand the ouster a coup.

Referring to his country’s history of coups, Erdogan warned that such military uprisings come at a heavy price and must not be tolerated.

‘No matter where they are… coups are bad,’ Erdogan said in televised remarks. ‘Coups are clearly enemies of democracy.

‘Those who rely on the guns in their hands, those who rely on the power of the media cannot build democracy…. Democracy can only be built at ballot box,’ said Erdogan, who had forged friendly relations with Morsi during the Egyptian’s one-year in power.

A day earlier, in a rare show of unity, both Erdogan’s ruling AK Party and its opposition Republican People’s Party condemned Morsi’s overthrow.” Read more.

UK: Did Muslims Just Murder Another Soldier On The Streets Of Britain?

07/09/2013 1 comment

Another British soldier was murdered in the street and three have been arrested. This time, however, the police and the media have failed to identify the suspects either by name or, as often is the case in the UK, by ethnicity. Why? Was this another jihadist killing? Are they worried about another “[dubiously] sustained wave of [dubious] attacks” against the Islamic community? If not, then why were the suspects not identified? I don’t have any evidence that this was related to violent jihad, but I don’t have any evidence that it wasn’t, either …

Wirral Globe – “A 26-year-old former soldier from Moreton has died after being attacked in a taxi rank queue in the town of Rugby.

David Ryding was so badly injured in the assault, which happened in the early hours of Sunday morning, he was put on a life-support machine at University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire.

A statement from Warwickshire Police today said: ‘It soon became apparent that nothing could be done to save him and life was pronounced extinct at 3.30am this morning and his life-support machine has been turned off.’

Police arrested a 21-year-old man from Rugby on suspicion of murder following the incident, which occurred at the Clock Tower in Market Place, Rugby.

Two further men aged 25 and 27 have been arrested on suspicion of affray.

All three are currently in police custody while the investigation progresses.

Mr Ryding, who lived in Moreton with his wife Nicola and young daughter, was in the First Battalion the Mercian Regiment but retired from the service in 2011.

Friends of Mr Ryding have paid tribute to him on their Facebook sites.

One, Aaron Dunbar, who is also a former soldier, wrote: ‘Absolutely devastated, good friend taken too soon.'” Read more.

UK: Muslim Father Physically Abused His Children While Forcing Them To Read Their ‘Holy’ Qur’an

07/09/2013 2 comments

People like this accuse Jews and Christians of being “the vilest of animals”, yet are the ones often behaving like vicious monsters …

Qur’an Sura 8:55, “Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve [non-Muslims] …”

Qur’an Sura 3:110, “Ye [Muslims] are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind …”

By JULIA SUTTON, Bedfordshire On Sunday – “A father punished his children by making them stand by a window reciting the Koran whilst he assaulted him, a jury was told today (July 9).

It was part of ‘physical, psychological and emotional abuse’ allegedly carried out by the 49-year-old man from Bedford on his wife and six children.

Prosecutor Beverly Cripps told Luton Crown Court: ‘The abuse occurred on a regular basis and became the norm at the home. It was carried out by a domineering and controlling man.

‘School was a refuge for the children. They were all exemplary students, but their childhood has been marred by continuous abuse. They have been hit by belts, shoes, large heavy cooking spoons and plates.

‘They have been tied to door handles, bound up and locked in their bedrooms.

‘The Koran was used as a punishment. They were made to stand in front of a window, holding their Holy Book and, from time to time, were being assaulted while reading from it.

‘He has spat on their food and made them eat it. He has spat in their mouths and made them swallow his spittle.

‘They became prisoners in their own home. He called his daughters ‘fat bitches’ and the sons ‘bastards’.

‘He would withdraw food and turn off water in the house.'” Read more.

Anti-Semitic NFL Player Oday Aboushi Speaks At Radical Muslim Conference Denying Israel’s Right To Exist

07/09/2013 1 comment

By Joe Kaufman, Frontpage Mag – “Oday Aboushi has been touted as being the first Palestinian-American player in the National Football League (NFL), but his radical behavior since being drafted by the New York Jets less than three months ago could get him sent home early. His latest infraction was made as he gave a speech at a radical Muslim conference sponsored by a group denying Israel’s right to exist and associated with blatantly anti-Semitic and terrorist propaganda.

When the New York Jets chose Offensive Lineman Oday Aboushi in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL draft, they did so because of Aboushi’s athletic skills. It seems, though, that his personal life was not a consideration, at least not enough to stop the team from picking him. Problems in the NFL usually revolve around drugs or alcohol abuse or players being bad influences in the locker rooms. Aboushi’s problem is an unusual one for pro sports. He’s a Muslim extremist.

In January, Aboushi posted a photo to his personal Twitter page depicting an old woman looking down while three clearly Orthodox Jews converse with one another in the background. The photo, which is attributed to the anti-Israel publication Middle East Monitor (MEM), was part of a large-scale smear campaign against the Jewish state. The caption over Aboushi’s tweet reads, ’88 year-old Palestinian evicted from home in Jerusalem by Israel authorities to make room 4 Orthodox Jews.’

Aboushi might have gotten the idea to post the propaganda from his relative, Fatina Abuzahrieh, who also grew up in and resides in New York City. In November of last year, Abuzahrieh posted on her Facebook page a shockingly anti-Semitic cartoon portraying an evil looking Orthodox Jew with a huge smile on his face, wearing an Israeli flag across his chest, and an old Palestinian woman looking down, crying, claiming to be ‘thrown out’ of her ‘own home.’

From there, Aboushi’s conduct has continued to get more extreme.

On April 19th, just one week prior to the draft, Aboushi praised a conference sponsored by Islamic Relief (IR), a charity that the Israeli government has labeled a front for Hamas and that has been cited for both receiving and giving huge sums of money to al-Qaeda related groups.

Only weeks after the draft, Aboushi tweeted the following: ‘65th anniversary of the Nakba and palestinians all across the world are still thriving.’ For persons unaware of the term ‘Nakba,’ the statement might seem innocuous, but for those who care about Israel, the term is a very dangerous and provocative one. The Nakba or Catastrophe is a derogatory reference to Israel’s May 1948 founding as an independent Jewish state. It is used to spread enmity against Israel and to fuel terrorist attacks from groups like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ)…

In a previous article, this author detailed the extremist ties and behavior of football player Oday Aboushi, which resulted in Aboushi removing material from his Facebook site. Yet, to this day, the New York Jets have ignored the actions of their Islamist draft pick, only to see his behavior get worse. So far, the team has appeared to put Aboushi’s athletic ability over his ties to Muslim fanaticism.” Read more.

Flashback: The New York Jets Keep Shedding Jews – “The Jewish minyan that once made up the front office of the New York Jets is starting to look more and more like an empty shul. The first sign of danger: The firing of Jets General Manager Mike Tannenbaum, who (to quote Scroll Editor Emeritus), ‘despite coming from outside Boston, looking the part, and being named Mike Tannenbaum’ isn’t actually Jewish. Then today, came the real news: ‘Two more high-ranking Jets officials will not be retained as John Idzik continues his purge of the previous regime. The latest departures are Scott Cohen, the assistant general manager, and Ari Nissim, the director of football administration.'” Read more.

Egypt: Morsi Supporters Open Fire On Mar Mina Church As Islamists Declare ‘Change Comes By The Bullet Alone; NOT The Ballot’

07/09/2013 Leave a comment

Thank goodness the Muslim Brotherhood and their supporters are “moderates”, otherwise they would have opted for bigger bullets …

By Mohamed Rashed, Egypt Independent – “Masked gunmen opened fire at Mar Mina Church in Port Said’s al-Manakh early Tuesday and managed to get away, according to state-run news agency MENA. No casualties were reported.

Army and police squads arrived at the scene of the attack and efforts are being undertaken to identify the perpetrators.

This is the third such attack in 24 hours. Yesterday, unknown attackers assaulted Port Said’s western seaport and the province’s traffic police department.

A priest was killed Saturday in Masaeed in North Sinai.

The attacks come days after Egypt’s army toppled Islamist president Mohamed Morsy, yielding to mass protests demanding early elections. Morsy’s Islamist supporters have protested the army’s decision.

Several Jiahdist leaders have been quoted in media reports as saying they vow to fight to defend Morsy’s legitimacy.” Source – Egypt Independent.

Turkey: PM Erdogan Insults Blacks As State Media Continues Anti-Semitic Campaign

07/08/2013 Leave a comment

Rembember, if the “prophet” of Islam — the most “perfect man” to ever walk the face the earth — was a staunch racist, then any good Muslim would be crazy not to be one, too …

Qur’an Sura 33:21, “Indeed in Allah’s Messenger (Mohammad) you have an excellent example to follow for him who hopes in (meeting with) Allah and the Last Day…”

The Algemeiner – “Not sated by his anti-Semitism, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has tried his hand at another form of blatant racism.

In comments made about Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, the leader of the center-left and secular Republican Peoples Party (CHP), Erdoğan declared, ‘Kılıçdaroğlu is striving every bit he can to raise himself from the level of a black person to the level of a white man.’

The comments were made during a weekly meeting of his Justice and Development Party (AKP).

Commentary Magazine, which spotted the report in Turkey’s Gazeticiler online newspaper, notes that ‘President Obama has described Erdoğan as one of the few leaders with whom he has developed bonds of trust,’ calling into question the US’s awareness of how Erdoğan speaks for domestic consumption.

Meanwhile, in keeping with the Turkish government’s anti-Semitic tone that has been on the rise since unrest began in the country May 28th, the website Al-Monitor reports that its coverage of the protests has earned it the label ‘subcontractor of the Zionist lobby‘ by Medyagundem, a website said to be under the control of Turkey’s state-run Sabah daily.

Medyagundem writes: ‘There is a website called Al-Monitor. It is a platform that translates news and comments from Turkish, Arabic, Kurdish, Hebrew and Persian. Obviously, it is a costly operation. You can find local language articles in English on this site. Its selections of news and articles is meticulously made and is highly professional. Its main theme is the news and analysis that will serve the interests of Israel and the global Zionist network.’

‘The site’s stated goal is to tell the Western world about the Middle East. They have only one condition while doing that. Works of anyone who is a sworn enemy of Islamists and conservative administrations and actors are translated immediately into English.’

‘In addition to translations, they also have regular writers. Some of its Turkish writers are interesting. This team that complains about their own country to the West in an Islamophobic, Zionist media organ has not come together by coincidence.’

The author of the Al-Monitor article that addresses the accusation, Cengiz Candar, writes that a list of Turkish writers accompanying the Medyagundem article includes him, ‘someone known as one of the most critical writers against Israel for decades,’ before broaching whether Erdogan’s administration has ‘lost its bearings and [is] heading in a McCarthyist direction.'” Source – The Algemeiner.

They started knocking, they came in saying ‘murtazaka’. They locked my mother inside a toilet. Six of them raped me. They took our belongings and money.

Brother Against Brother: Fears Of Muslim Sectarian Violence In London After Sunnis Attack Shiites

Five men have been arrested following the attack, which took place in Edgware Road on 10 May after a rally against the Syrian regime, where radical cleric Anjem Choudary was a speaker.

SO15, the Metropolitan Police’s counter-terrorism branch, has been drafted in to conduct the investigation into violent disorder and suspected grievous bodily harm.

The suspects, all aged between 18 and 38, are on bail pending further inquiries.

In a second incident at the same event a Sunni man was attacked after being mistaken for a Shi’ite, according to reports. No arrests have been made.

‘It’s Time To Get Out’: Jewish Life In Europe Is ‘Dying A Slow Death’

07/08/2013 4 comments

What the article fails to fully address, however, is how or why anti-Semitism and violent acts against Jews in Europe have escalated considerably as of late. One of those reasons is the direct result of Muslim immigration and their leftist enablers …

By Raphael Ahren, The Times of Israel – “When Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay this week accused the ‘Jewish Diaspora’ of orchestrating anti-government protests in his country, almost the entire Jewish Diaspora was up in arms. Oskar Deutsch, the president of the Vienna community, went so far as to call on the European Union to suspend its accession negotiations with Ankara. But anti-Semitism could also be found last week deep in the European heartland: the editors of Germany’s Süddeutsche Zeitung considered a painting of a ravenous moloch to be the right type of illustration for a story about Israel. Critics pointed out that this might have been a problematic choice, yet the paper initially responded that ‘a hungry monster with horns has nothing to do with anti-Semitic cliches’ (and only later apologized).

Clearly, anti-Semitic tendencies in Europe are alive and kicking. But how widespread, and how grave?

According to one Jerusalem-based researcher, the situation is dire, and he claims to have the numbers to prove it: More than 150 million European adults have anti-Semitic views, he asserts, in that they believe that Israel is waging a war of extermination against the Palestinians. ‘Numerical data from various studies provide evidence that well over 150 million citizens of the European Union embrace a demonic view of Israel,’ Manfred Gerstenfeld, a former chairman of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, writes in his new book, ‘Demonizing Israel and the Jews.’

However high and curiously justified it is, some experts believe the figure might be accurate. Others who contend that Gerstenfeld’s line of argument doesn’t make much sense, scientifically speaking, argue nonetheless that anti-Semitism has become an irreversible trend that will soon make life unbearable for the continent’s remaining Jews. European officials hesitate to comment, though some say they are stunned to hear such a statistic. The EU is currently compiling its first comprehensive study on anti-Semitism, whose preliminary findings show an alarming number of Jews reporting to have been the victims of harassment.

Gerstenfeld, who immigrated to Israel many years ago from the Netherlands, bases his controversial claim mainly on a 2012 study conducted by the University of Bielefeld and published by the German-based Friedrich Ebert Foundation. The study, which surveyed 8,000 people across eight EU member states, found that ‘around 40 percent of respondents in most participating countries affirm the drastic assessment that the Israeli state is conducting a war of extermination against the Palestinians.'” Read more.

Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood Supporters ‘Rage’ Against Christians, ‘Their Priority Was … Establishing An Islamic Caliphate’

07/08/2013 1 comment

By Joseph DeCaro, Worthy News – “Mobs of Muslims enraged over the forceful removal of the Muslim Brotherhood-backed Mohamed Morsi from office have retaliated against Christians across Egypt, according to Morning Star News.

The attacks came as part of nation-wide protests that culminated Friday in what Morsi supporters called a ‘Day of Rage’.

And it was: hours after the Egyptian military announced that it had expelled Morsi and his cabinet from office, reports of attacks against Christians and their properties by Brotherhood supporters began to surface.

The first attack came Wednesday in the village of Delgia where dozens of Morsi supporters attacked Al Eslah Church, looting the building and attacking local Coptic-owned homes; the mob then moved on to St. George Catholic church in Delgia, pelting it with rocks and setting its rectory on fire, according to Morning Star.

Later that same day, Egyptian troops prevented Muslim mobs from attacking both the Church of the Holy Virgin in Marsa Matrouh and the Coptic cathedral in Qena, so the mobs looted local Christian-owned homes and businesses instead.

On Friday, The Egypt Independent reported that after a Muslim was killed in a fight with a Copt in Naga Hassan, west of Luxor, Muslims began looting and burning dozens of Christian-owned homes and businesses, later attacking the Church of the Virgin Mary in downtown Luxor.

Samia Sidhom, managing editor of the Weekly Watani, said attacks by Morsi suppporters came as no surprise.

‘Everyone was expecting they would take their revenge.’

Sidhom said people wanted Morsi out because he was more interested in consolidating the power of his Freedom and Justice Party, a political proxy of the Muslim Brotherhood, than putting Egypt on the path to prosperity.

Egypt: Military Closes Muslim Brotherhood Headquarters In Cairo After Finding Stockpile Of Weapons Inside

07/08/2013 Leave a comment

Since they planned on using the weapons to maim and even kill for “peaceful purposes”, does that still make the Muslim Brotherhood a “peaceful” organization? …

Middle East Online – “Egypt’s prosecution ordered the closure of the Cairo headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party after police found weapons inside it on Monday, a security official said.

Police found ‘flammable liquid, knives and arms to be used against the June 30 protests,’ the official said, in reference to demonstrations that saw millions take to the streets to demand the resignation of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi.

Forty-two loyalists of Egypt’s ousted president were killed on Monday while demonstrating against last week’s military coup, triggering an Islamist uprising call and dashing the army’s hopes for an interim civilian administration.

The Muslim Brotherhood, which has led demonstrations against the overthrow of Morsi last Wednesday, said its supporters were ‘massacred’ when police and troops fired on them during dawn prayers outside an elite army headquarters in Cairo.

The military blamed ‘terrorists’ while witnesses, including Brotherhood supporters at the scene, said that the armed forces fired only tear gas and warning shots and that ‘thugs’ in civilian clothes had carried out the deadly shooting.

Prominent liberal leader Mohamed ElBaradei called for an independent inquiry into the bloodshed. Turkey strongly condemned the killings.

The conservative Islamist Al-Nur party, which won almost a quarter of votes in a 2011 parliamentary election and had given its support to the army’s overthrow of Morsi, said it was pulling out of talks on a new government in response to the ‘massacre’.

The bloodshed happened outside the headquarters of the elite Republican Guard, whom the Brotherhood accuses of betraying Morsi.” Read more.

Al-Qaeda Leader Calls For ‘Victims And Sacrifices’ In Egypt To Create Islamist State, ‘The Battle Isn’t Over, It Has Just Started’

07/08/2013 3 comments

By Nouran El-Behairy, Daily News Egypt – “Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri commented on the current events in Egypt in a video released online, in which he criticised Islamists for losing power and not uniting to implement Sharia.

‘The battle isn’t over, it has just started…the Islamic nation should offer victims and sacrifices to achieve what it wants and restore power from the corrupt authority governing Egypt,’ Al-Zawahiri said.

He said that the struggle in Egypt was clear, claiming that secular groups united with the church and empowered by ‘Mubarak’s armed forces’ supported by the West waged a battle against Islamist forces in Egypt that strove to implement Sharia.

He scorned the Supreme Constitutional Court, labelling it a ‘secular’ court.
