International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that on the evening of January 13, 2018, three armed men killed a Coptic Christian named Bassem Attala as he was returning home from work. Bassem and his family were among the hundreds of Christian families who originally fled el-Arish last year after the Islamic State killed seven Copts. Bassem and his family had returned to el-Arish in August 2017 because they could not find employment elsewhere.
"Let us look... at the parallel legal system that is gradually creeping into the EU....The emergence of these enclaves, reinforced by elite policies of multiculturalism, group identity politics, and the deconstruction of Western heritage, has contributed to the fracturing of Western European nations and has weakened the overall sense of mutual responsibility for one's fellow citizens." — Andrew Michta, The American Interest, June 6, 2017
The roots of the radical Muslim behavior that is now sweeping Europe can be traced to elements of Islamic law and doctrine created in the 7th century that are being maintained today. These include polygamy for men; allowing men to buy and sell women as sex slaves or concubines; divorce rights [for men that] discriminate against women; insistence on a dress code for women that includes hiding their faces; and discriminatory inheritance laws.
These are the types of laws that Muslim communities in Europe are pushing for and adhering to, and they are based on inequality of gender, religion, ethnicity and social status. In sharia law, there is no freedom of religion, speech, thought, artistic expression or the press...There is no united protection for all people. Justice is different for Muslims and non-Muslims, for men and women... There is no democracy... Jews and Christians are dhimmi, third-class citizens...
WITH STREET protests raging in Iran and North Korea’s dictator appearing to offer a rare olive branch, President Trump chose to dedicate his first tweet of 2018 to . . . Pakistan. “The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the past 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit,” he virtually bellowed. “They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!” Not surprisingly, the outburst caught Pakistan’s elected government by surprise; emergency cabinet meetings and angry rebuttals from senior Pakistani officials soon followed.
قبل أن يودعنا عام 2017 ويطل علينا عام 2018 استلم الاقباط فى يوم الجمعة 29 ديسمبر هدية راس السنة فى صورة اعتداء مروع على كنيسة مارمينا بحلوان. استشهد 9 افراد منهم الحارس المعين لحماية الكنيسة. هذا عدا المصابين الذين يبلغ عددهم حوالى 15 فردا وبعضهم فى حالة حرجة.
كان العام المنصرم مزدحما بمثل تلك الاحداث التى يصعب سردها فى مقال. وعلى سبيل المثال: فى فبراير تم تهجير اقباط العريش بعد تعرضهم للاعتداءت- وتعرية وسحل سيدة الكرم دون عقاب للمتورطين. وفى ابريل تم تفجير كنيسة مارجرجس بطنطا وكنيسة مارمرقس بالاسكندرية وقتل حوالى 50 واصابة نحو 110 فى الحادثتين. وفى مايو تم استهداف حافلة متجهة لدير الانبا صموئيل المعترف وقتل حوالى 29 واصابة 26. وفى اكتوبر تم غلق عدة كنائس بواسطة الامن منها 4 بمحافظة المنيا. وفى ديسمبر وبالاضافة الى الاعتداء على كنيسة مارمينا بحلوان تم الاعتداء على كنيسة افطيح واتلاف ايقوناتها ومحتوياتها ثم غلقها بواسطة الامن ومحاكمة بعض الاقباط بتهمة انشاء كنيسة بدون ترخيص مع ان الكنيسة قائمة على مدى 15 سنة وتعتبر قانونية طبقا لقانون بناء الكنائس الجديد.
سلام لكنيسة أبينا البكر مارمرقس كاروز الإسكندرية، ولأبينا بطرس خاتم الشهداء أصحاب بيعة الشهداء الذين تميرنت كنيستهم وتخضبت مدشنة بدماء غالية. نالوا بركات من سخاء الله وأثبتوا محبتهم لسيد جميع البشر. زينوا مدينة الإسكندرية بشهادتهم للإيمان المسيحي وجعلوها كالمدينة الإيمانية النموذجية أم المدائن العظمى من جديد.
تخضبت الأعتاب والطرق والأعمدة والمداخل والحوائط بدمائكم أيها الشهداء، وجمعوا أجسادكم ممتزجة مختلطة متشابكة لا لشيء إلا لأنكم أتباع الطريق، ولا لشيء إلا لأنكم تعبدون الإله الحق من الإله الحق. صارت رفاتكم للبركة وتجنيزكم ليتورجية سماوية، فَضَحَت إبليس المنجوس القتّال للناس منذ البدء، وقد أُودِعت أجسادكم مع قديسي الكنيسة .

" مدحت قلادة "- رئيس اتحاد المنظمات القبطية في أوروبا
أكد " مدحت قلادة "- رئيس اتحاد المنظمات القبطية في أوروبا - أن حادث كنيسة مارمينا والبابا كيرلس بحلوان جاء نتيجة التكاسل في محاربة الارهاب ، لأن الدولة تحاربه من المصب وليس من المنبع ، والمنبع الذي يخرج هؤلاء الارهابيين هو الفتاوى الملغمة التي يدلي بها بعض المشايخ في الأزهر فتترسخ في عقول الشباب أن العمليات الإرهابية جهاد في سبيل الله وانهم سيدخلون الجنة لو قتلوا المسيحيين ، محملاً الأزهر مسئولية ما حدث اليوم مؤكدا أن التكفير لا يزال موجوداً في كتبه .
Coptic diocese says hundreds attack church in Egypt
The Associated Press
CAIRO (AP) — Hundreds of Muslim demonstrators attacked an unlicensed church south of Cairo wounding three people, an Egyptian Coptic Christian diocese said on Saturday, in the latest assault on members of the country’s Christian minority.
The incident took place after Friday prayers when dozens of demonstrators gathered outside the building and stormed it. The demonstrators chanted hostile slogans and called for the church’s demolition, the diocese in Atfih said. The demonstrators destroyed the church’s contents and assaulted Christians inside before security personnel arrived and dispersed them.
America and our allies have made major progress against ISIS and other radical Islamic terrorists this year, but as we head toward 2018 the battle against these murderers is shifting into a new phase. Unfortunately, the terrorists are far from being eliminated.
ISIS – which stands for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria – lost most of the territory it controlled in those countries this year, making a mockery of its claim to be a “state.” The liberation of Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria, with the help of U.S. military advisers and air bombardments, sent ISIS fighters fleeing like rats from a sinking ship.
From countering Iran and its proxies to working directly with Israel, Egyptian survey respondents seem remarkably willing to follow Washington's lead on multiple regional issues.
As President Trump rolls out his plan for confronting Iran, a credible new poll in Egypt reveals that this posture enjoys a remarkable degree of public support in the most populous Arab country. A mere 1% of Egyptians rate Iran's regional policies favorably, and in the ongoing intra-Arab dispute with Qatar, two-thirds agree that "the most important issue" is "to find the maximum degree of Arab cooperation against Iran."

Salafists hold Western society in contempt and accuse it of consisting of "pornography, naturist and swingers clubs;" their recruitment techniques are becoming more and more sophisticated, former German Salafist Dominic Schmitz, author of a book on life as a German Islamist, told Sputnik Deutschland.
The ranks of Salafists in Germany have swollen in recent years as an increasing number of young Germans turn to radical Islam. The Bundesamt fuer Verfassungsschutz (BfV), Germany's domestic intelligence service, is aware of 10,300 Salafists; in 2011 the authorities were aware of 3,800 Salafist followers.
Dominic Schmitz is one such person. He turned to radical Islam in the early 2000s, when he was 17 years old. He has now left the organization and written a book about his experiences called "I was a Salafist" (Ich war ein Salafist).

Schmitz says that he entered the world of Salafism in search of answers to some of life's difficult questions, about justice and the meaning of life. At the time, he "really did not realize that this was such a drastic step."
