Youhanabad lynching: Christian suspects asked to convert in return for release

LAHORE: A prosecutor has reportedly asked members of a minority community facing trial in an anti-terrorism court over lynching of two men that he ‘can guarantee their acquittal’ if they renounce their faith and embrace Islam, rights activists claim.
Some 42 Christians have been charged with lynching the two men after twin suicide blasts targeting a Sunday Mass in two churches in the Christian neighbourhood of Youhanabad in Lahore on March 15, 2015.
Human Rights Watch, an organization that is supposed to look out for victims of human rights abuses, not abusers of human rights is begging US decision makers not to designate the Muslim Brotherhood -- which, if it had its way, would take away everyone's human rights and substitute them with sharia law -- a foreign terrorist organization.
"Allah is our objective; the Prophet is our leader; the Quran is our law; Jihad is our way; dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope". — Muslim Brotherhood motto.
Conveniently, Hamas -- which according to article two of its charter, is "one of the wings of Moslem Brotherhood in Palestine" -- is, it seems, working on a new charter. The new charter would declare that Hamas is not a part of the Muslim Brotherhood, despite its always having been so. That way, is the Muslim Brotherhood's "narrative" of newfound "nonviolence" suddenly supposed to become believable?
لا توجد جوهرة عند اى اب أو أم اكثر قيمة من فلذة أكبادهم. فاذا حاول احدهم خطفها منك، واردت ان تحميها من ذلك الخاطف، كيف يتصور انك اصبحت أنت معتديا بينما هو صاحب حق؟ كيف تتحول أنت فجأة الى انسان غريب بينما البلطجية اصبحوا أخوة للفتاة واصبحوا يطالبون بحقهم فى أختهم؟ يا لوقاحة تلك النفوس المريضة، ويا لشذوذ ذلك المجتمع الذى يرضى عنهم ويمكنهم من تحقيق اهدافهم.
هذا رغم ان أميرة لم تعلن يوما تغيير دينها او الزواج من اى انسان ولكنها استهدفت لعملية خطف لم تكتمل الاركان وعندما احست بالمؤامرة التى تحاك لها هربت لتحتمى باسرتها وهنا قامت القيامة بعد ان احسوا ان صيدهم الثمين قد فلت من الفخ.

وصف الدكتور ميخائيل قديس احد القيادات القبطية بالأقصر ما يحدث بقرية المهيدات التابعة لقرية العديسات بالاقصر ضد الاقباط بالخزى وقال :”اللى اختشوا ماتوا “محذرا من هجمات قد تحدث على الاقباط اذا لم يتحرك الامن
وقال قديس ” الازمة بسبب شاب عاطل يدعى ابراهيم محمد احمد نور 19 سنة يدعى انه بيحب اميرة جرجس خليل 17 سنة ويريد ان يتجزوها بالغصب ومعه مجموعة محرضين 1- عمار حباشى احمد مزارع 2- احمد جمال حماد مزارع وتاجر 3- حسين سيد درويش عامل اجرى 4- رأفت محمد ادم مدرس انجليزى يطلبون ان يشاهدوا الفتاة ويسألوها :”عاوزة الولد وتروح عندهم من عدمه”
وتابع قائلا ” :فعلا اللى اختشوا ماتوا” الوضع الطائفي متردي للغاية في قرية المهيدات ( القريبة من قرية العديسات بمحافظة الأقصر ) نتيجة للشائعات الإجرامية المغرضة التي ينشرها بعض المتعصبين ضد الاقباط .
وقال قديس بالطبع الحكومة والامن بمحافظة الاقصر يعلمان علم اليقين ان قرية المهيدات هى وكر للاخوان المسلمين والاخوان يفعلون ذلك ليضربوا الوحدة الوطنية فى مقتل لذا نطالب من مدير الامن اخذ الحيطة من الاحداث وعدم الالتفات حول مطالب الارهابيين تحت مسمى الحرية الدينية لان هذا خطف علنى لقاصر ويجب القبض على كل من يريد ضرب الوحدة الوطنية .
A dangerous message is being sent to the Muslim world by the West: There is nothing that moderate Muslims or anyone else should fear from radical Islamic terrorism! Look at us Western governments! We are bringing in refugees who cannot be vetted even if they are ISIS infiltrators. In fact, we in the West are so goodhearted that we are encouraging many organizations to operate legally in the West under the banner of the Muslim Brotherhood -- even organizations that are sympathetic to the terrorist group Hamas and that are pledging to overthrow us!
The West, by taking all the Syrian refugees, is emptying Syria of any kind of resistance to the Caliphate (ISIS). The West's compassion, by taking in the refugees escaping ISIS, will end up leaving only the radicals to rule unopposed in Syria and Iraq. This, in US foreign policy, is not compassion; it is gross negligence and reckless endangerment.
"Tough love" is badly needed when dealing with the Muslim world. We must say: No, we cannot accept your jihadist aspirations. We cannot accept you forcing your way of life on the world; your way of life is unacceptable to us. Before you send your refugees, you must end your "us against them" jihadist culture. The civilized world no longer finds your aspirations for an Islamic Caliphate tolerable.
The Sunni Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) has boasted that key U.S. Middle East ally Saudi Arabia is the top provider of terrorists for the jihadist group in Iraq, reports Fox News, citing Iraqi military sources.
Sunni Saudi Arabia shares an estimated 500-mile-long border with war-ravaged Iraq.
Nevertheless, Fox News reports that the Saudi jihadists crossed into Iraq over the border the country shares with both Turkey and Syria.
The news outlet learned from unnamed Iraqi intelligence sources that jihadist from the Saudi kingdom comprise nearly one-third (up to 30 percent) of all ISIS terrorists in Iraq, adding that “Saudis comprise the largest single contingent of ISIS fighters, with Russian Chechens making up the second-largest contingent.”
Is it safe to go to Egypt? The short answer is “yes”. If you have glanced at your country’s travel warning for Egypt, go back and read it carefully – there are no travel warnings in place for Cairo, Alexandria, Red Sea, Luxor, Aswan or Nile Cruises – in fact those areas have a green light.
Egypt is as safe as anywhere else in the world, and safer that many western countries.
Like anywhere you go in the world, be it a metropolis, a small town or even the quiet countryside, you use common sense. You should do in Egypt what you would do at home. What NOT to do:
A copy of One Hundred Questions in Islam by Dr. Muhammad al-Ghazali, found in the Ottawa Public Library. The image at right shows the inside cover of the book, with the Ottawa Public Library Stamp.
How is it possible that books that advocate violence and extremism meet the "selection criteria" of the Ottawa Public Library, but those that speak out against violence and extremism do not?
The presence of these Islamic books, and these books alone, in Canada's public libraries, without any others to contradict them, gives them legitimacy. They are seen to represent a certain form of Islam that the government of Canada and the City of Ottawa recognize.
This indicates that there is official support for the extremist and terrorist version of Islam, and at the same time no support for a humanist interpretation of Islam.
This surah [4:74] also indicates that if you are a Muslim living in a non-Muslim country, then you are in a state of war against your host country. If you are a Muslim living in a non-Muslim country, then you are living with the enemy.
If we are to reject this danger, it is important that libraries and other institutions have books that reject these Islamist views and confront their hatred, extremism and violence.
