New Year slaughter of Christians in Egypt shows we’re all in it together against Islamism

by Robin Shepherd

It will be interesting to observe the international response following last night’s slaughter of at least 21 Christians by Islamists outside a Church in Alexandria, Egypt. If it had been the other way around (heaven forfend that it had been carried out by Jews) there would have been mass protests around the world, condemnations from leading politicians and, given that this comes on the heels of other such massacres, could well have ended up with a resolution at the United Nations.

But don’t hold your breath. The politically correct multi-culturalism that holds sway across Europe and increasing sections of the United States (I hardly need mention the UN) dictates that we must always beware of enflaming Muslim sensitivities. The great diversionary spectre of “Islamophobia” silences all that go before it.

But last night’s bomb attack in Egypt is no isolated event. During a Christmas Day mass in the Philippines 11 were injured in a bombing in a Christian chapel. Also in December 38 Christians were slaughtered by Muslim extremists in Nigeria, a country where church burnings are starting to become commonplace. In Iraq last Autumn 68 Christians were massacred in the Our Lady of Salvation church in Baghdad by a group threatening that Christians will be “exterminated”. Across the Middle East, Christians increasingly live in fear of their Muslim neighbours, and the region’s Christian population is diminishing fast. So at what point does a series of “isolated events” start to form a pattern?

The best answer to that question is: at the point when you have opened your eyes sufficiently to see what is really going on. The pattern has been observable for many years now and it is something which proceeds directly from an Islamist ideology whose central precepts enjoy widespread support across the Islamic world.

It is precisely at this stage in the discussion that we should (but, due to multiculturalist pathologies, do not) bring in the question of Israel and the Jews. For what we are now seeing against Christians has been going on with regard to the Jews for decades. The genocidal anti-Semitism long rife across the Middle East (and long ignored by the media) forms part of a much bigger picture. In common with previous totalitarianisms, it may be Jews first, but there are plenty of others on the list of targets.

Jews, Christians and, indeed, liberal secularists are all on that list, and no amount of denial or appeasement will take them off it.

21 Christian families lost a loved one last night in Egypt. For them, no more tragic start to 2011 could be imagined. For the rest of us, we can either count our lucky stars, put it out of our minds, and move on, or we can mourn the dead, face the new reality, and pull together as one to fight it. So which is it to be?

Assyrian Int'l News Agency: Egyptian Security Guards Withdrew One Hour Before Church Blast, Say Eyewitnesses

On January 6 2010, just before the Christmas Eve Massacre in Nag Hammadi, security withdrew its forces from guarding the church a couple of hours before the shooting of the Coptic congregation took place.
Attorney Mamdouh Nakhla, Head of Al-Kalema Human Rights Center, wondered if state security is an accomplice or just too cowardly to confront the Islamists in Egypt who carried out the Church massacre.
"The crime is local and those who committed it are known, in addition there was a demonstration on the same day using the same rhetoric like al-Qaida. The Al Mujahedeen website threatens to repeat the attack in more churches. The site has addresses of churches and even how to make a bomb. Does security not know about it?"

"Anyone who says that it was a foreign or Israeli plot is trying to play down the crime and is trying to clear those murderers of this massacre, and I consider them their accomplices," said Nakhla.

Nakhla said that he was preparing a complaint to be presented to President Mubarak asking for the resignation of Interior Minister Habib el Adly for failing in his duty of protecting the Copts, and for not telling the truth by saying that it was a suicide attack by one individual, when everyone could see the detonated car, just to clear his security personnel of the responsibility of letting the Skoda park in front of the church. "This 100KG bomb could not have been transported by one individual as the Interior Minister wants us to believe."

Islamists exploit Nazi propaganda tactics to mollify, infiltrate West

As demonstrated by Ahmadenijad's regime, Islamists fabricate a 'Jewish enemy,' influence foreign journalists to reflect demonization, and manipulate racism-averse Western audiences into embracing Islamist imperialist 'victims'.

Systematized anti-Semitic propaganda is historically used to unite and control masses under dogmatic rule, (i.e. Nazism, Islam, sects of Christianity). Muslim countries are using it to brainwash the Muslim world, and the foreign journalists who report to the world from there. This sociopathic anti-Semitism is sublimated into anti-Israel or anti-Zionist biased reporting and resulting sentiments.

In the year since Britain's Channel 5 audiences first watched "No Excuses for Terror?," how much progress has been made recognizing the roots of Islamic terrorism? British journalist David Aaronovitch debunked the double-standard of justifying Islamic terrorism as 'Israel/Palestine-inspired.' Why does the West hyper-criticize and punish Israel for defending against Palestinian terror, in contrast with Arab countries' far more egregious treatment of Palestinians?

In (Black) September 1970, Jordan's King Hussein killed 5,000 Palestinians in refugee camps in Jordan - with no Western political or economic repercussion.

In 1976, Syria's President Assad (supporting Christian militias) killed 3,500 Palestinians in camps in Lebanon. In 2007, mayhem between the Lebanese army and Fatah Islam militants in the Nahr el-Bared ('Cold River') Palestinian refugee camp killed 250 innocent civilians and Lebanese soldiers.

Youseef Ibrahim in the NY Sun writes about double standards applied to Palestinian camps in Lebanon

"... Jordan, which has nearly 1 million Palestinian Arab refugees, nor Syria, which is harboring tens of thousands. The secret police mandate runs wide and deep for Palestinian Arab encampments in those two countries. Indeed, back in September 1970, the late King Hussein of Jordan spent nearly a year disarming the camps in his country by burning them down— and won universal Arab applause for doing so. The late, unlamented Yasser Arafat was undeterred when he fled to Lebanon, from which he once used the camps to stock arms, indoctrinate his people in terrorism, and, eventually, wage war on Lebanon and Israel — until he was kicked out and forced to move to Tunisia.

Yet in the face of such Palestinian Arab irresponsibility — and of a 15-year Lebanese civil war largely provoked by its Palestinians — the rest of the Arab world has insisted that Lebanon remains an exception to the rule of sovereignty.

What motivates the Muslim world and Western world to single-out Israel for condemnation? In contradiction to Western presumptions about Islamic enmity originating from perceptions on the Israel vs. Palestine crisis, David Aaronovitch reveals Islamic countries' institutionalized Nazi-esque propaganda techniques (repeated by Muslim reporters for global press agencies and satellite channels serving the Muslim world, e.g., BBC in Arabic, Al-Jazeera Int'l, CNN Int'l, Link-TV, Mosaic-TV, Bridges TV, al-Manar TV) which brainwash the publics against Jews as a faith. The foreign Western journalists in the Middle-East, upon constant exposure to this anti-Jewish state droning, absorb and reflect this bias back to their home audiences through their editing (e.g., France2TV and the Mohammed al-Dura fauxtography Affair).
