Hosni Mubarak: “President DAMAGE CONTROL”

Dear Brothers and sisters in Humanity,

As you maybe aware, some of our peace loving Muslims, (supposed fellow humans) have devised a new method of welcoming the New Year and decade. Their method is rather unique, as it is a very new means of celebration. An improvised “Islamic firework” designed to murder and not delight.
The Improvised “Islamic Firework” was created solely for the Coptic Church in Alexandria and took the form of a high powered explosive.
The indigenous Copts were victims of radical Islamic extremist terrorists that killed 22 people and injured 79 Saturday 1/1/2011 12.30am after celebrating Mass on New Years Eve.
“The victims weren’t leaving a night club after a night of wild rebelling and celebration, drunk and high on drugs. They were leaving a holy place of worship after celebrating the New Year with the grace of God almighty”

To add insult to injury, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, “President Damage Control”, quickly engaged in rhetoric blaming external forces for the vile sinister barbaric ungodly attack perpetrated by his fellow Muslim brothers in Alexandria.

I note dear President Damage control did not mention that fabricated Islamic lies in EGYPT are solely behind this act of butchery on innocent God fearing people.

Sadly the cheap Islamic rhetoric did not end there,
Hezbollah (an Islamic terrorists organization) had the repulsive audacity and indignation to claim the attack “comes as part of the most dangerous conspiracies aimed at religious diversity in more than one Arab and Muslim country to serve the Zionist scheme in occupied Palestine and the American scheme aimed at fragmenting our Arab and Islamic countries.”
The words of this barbaric Islamic sect are a disgrace, another Islamic lie “Taqqiya” and an opportunity they could not pass up, they use this horrific incident committed by their vile Islamic brothers into a “Cheap attack on the innocent Jewish Nation of Israel”. Islamic lying is alive and well, flourishing in the Islamic world.

President Damage Control, you are a failure. You assurances of guaranteed security for the Copts have proved to be hollow worthless words, and resulted in Coptic families mourning and burying their loved ones rather than celebrate the New Year.

President Damage Control, I remind you that your government sent an army of 5000 armed security officers on 24 November 2010 to storm a Coptic church “over the use of the building” and resulted in the murder of 4 Copts and 23 of my Coptic brothers are still been detained with out charge.


President Damage Control you security forces, instead of storming a church & “firing live ammunition at unarmed Copts”, they should have been working tirelessly on hunting down radical islamists terrorists not terrorizing innocent Christians who were deceived by your governor over the use of a building as a church prior to the attack?

Please see the previous article from AINA.ORG for the whole story. But I felt this was worth doing separately. This cannot be let down the memory hole. If they are correct, then Amnesty International, the current administration in the US and elsewhere, must take a stand.

Egyptian Security Guards Withdrew One Hour Before Church Blast, Say Eyewitnesses

Posted on by

AINA News:

(AINA) — The car explosion that went off in front of Saints Coptic Orthodox Church in Alexandria killed 21 and injured 96 parishioners who were attending a New Year’s Eve Mass. According to church officials and eyewitnesses, there are many more victims that are still unidentified and whose body parts were strewn all over the street outside the church. The body parts were covered with newspapers until they were brought inside the church after some Muslims started stepping on them and chanting Jihadi chants (video showing dead bodies and limbs covered with newspapers in the street).

According to eyewitnesses, a green Skoda car pull up outside the church shortly after midnight. Two men got out , one of them talked shortly on his mobile phone, and the explosion occurred almost immediately after they left the scene. On the back of the Skoda was a sticker with the words “the rest is coming” (video of car explosion and Muslims shouting “Allah Akbar”).

It was reported that the bomb, locally made, had 100KG of explosives in addition to having nails, glass and iron balls inside. The strength of it not only caused glass panes to be shattered in all the neighborhood, but also made body parts fly into the building’s fourth floor, and to the mosque facing the church.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility but officials hastily blamed either Al-Qaida or the Israeli Mousad of being behind the blast, but none of them mentioned the Egyptian state security which is viewed by Copts as the real culprit.

To clear his security forces of negligence, the Minister of Interior said that the blast was an “individual” case, caused by a single suicide terrorist detonating his vest, and has nothing to do with an exploding car. The governor of Alexandria claimed the attack as being aimed at Muslims and Christians alike.

After the blast, traumatized Copts were angered by chants of “Allah Akbar” from Muslims and began hurling stones at the mosque. Immediately security forces which were absent during the car blast and the ensuing events, appeared and starting shooting tear gas at the Copts, and they in turn hurled stones at them, said an eyewitness. Fifteen Copts were rounded up from their homes by the authorities. Continue Reading →

The attack on the Coptic church in Alexandria last night:

Here are two important clips. One, from Al Jazeera English, which tends to be far more charitable to the truth than its Arabic sister station, and a CTV clip which has a short segment of Egypt’s reaction to the attack.

Below that, the documentary I recommend in the clip. For anyone who has not seen the Dispatches documentary on Egypt’s rubbish people, now is a good time to watch it. It gives stark perspective on the relative rights of Christians in Egypt Vs. Muslims. I doubt many people in the Western world can believe a group can still be treated this way, although with growing awareness of Islam and it’s ‘values’ perhaps that number is shrinking.

Gothenburg: Coptic Church closed down due to internet threats

Posted on by

This from Islam in Europe. Please visit there for the whole article. It would appear the threat to the Coptic peoples of Egypt, the original peoples of Egypt before the Islamic invasion and bloody conquering, are in danger now well beyond the Egyptian borders.

Gothenburg: Coptic Church closed down due to internet threats

The Coptic Christian church in Agnesberg (Gothenburg) was closed down after receiving an internet threat. The threat was vague, but the Swedish security service was called in .


There are about 400 Coptic families in Sweden, most living in the Stockholm area. The community in Gothenburg has about 200 members.

On Christmas Eve the community’s pastor, Father Shenouda, was visited by four police officers who said that there were calls on the internet for what the police called ‘activities’ against certain Christian churches in Europe.

Father Shenouda contacted his community members and told them that Sunday’s mass was canceled. The church is closed for up to two weeks, to enable the police to look for possible bombs. The Coptic Christmas Eve is on Jan. 6th, and they hope to be able to use the church by then.

Egypt arrests 4 citizens over spying for Israel

Any bets as to the truth of this AP report?

Associated Press

CAIRO (AP) – Egyptian authorities arrested four suspects on suspicion of spying for Israel and plotting to damage the economy by kidnapping tourists, a security official said.

The official revealed Sunday that the suspects, all Egyptian nationals, set up offices in Egypt, Britain, Israel, and Gaza to allegedly record officials’ phone conversations and collect information about Japanese and Chinese tourists visiting the Sinai Peninsula.

The plan, according to the official, was for agents of Israel to then briefly kidnap the tourists, disrupting the Egypt’s vital tourism sector and damaging the economy.

Israel said that it had no information about the case. Continue Reading →

House Converted Into Mosque Overnight In Egypt to Prevent Church Services

Posted on by

H/T Gates of Vienna:

From Assyrian News:

(AINA) — In an effort to end any hope of the Coptic Christians using the Church of St. Mary and St. Michaels in Talbiya for prayer services, the Giza Governorate converted overnight a house facing the church into a mosque.

The new so-called “Ekhlass” mosque was converted secretly Thursday evening when a cloth sign was hastily hung outside a 4 story house. It was used on Friday morning, when over 3000 Muslims prayed there, despite the presence of a large mosque on the other side of the bridge, not far from the new mosque. It was reported that the owner of the house, which is still under construction, donated it.

“Of course the new mosque did not have to get a building license, local council or state security permission, as is the case with churches,” said Coptic activist Mark Ebeid.

Due to the minimum distance required by law between a church and a mosque, Copts view this conversion of the house into a new mosque “as a trick on the part of the government to make the completion and use of St. Mary’s Church an impossibility.”

“We are devastated,” said a local Copt. “This church cost the poor people 7 million Egyptian pounds, which we collected by having to go without a lot in our homes, and there comes the governor and state security, angry because we built a dome and destroy it, kill our children, leave others maimed and the rest in prison for a very long time.”

Church building in Egypt is still partly governed by the Haayoni Decree of 1856, when Egypt was under Ottoman rule. After gaining independence in 1922, Egypt abolished all laws except for the Hamayouni Decree, which required the permission of the king or the president to build a church. In addition, in 1934 the Interior Minister, Al-Ezaby Pacha, issued a decree that stipulated 10 conditions that must be met prior to issuance of a presidential decree permitting the construction of a church. The conditions include the requirement that the distance between a church and a mosque be not less than 100 meters and the approval of the neighboring Muslim community. Additional considerations or conditions are the number of Christians in the area and whether or not the proposed church is near the Nile, public utility or a railway.

The new Coptic Church of St. Mary and St. Michael’s, in Talbiya, Giza, was the scene on November 24 of security forces fire and using tear gas on women, children and youth who were present at the church, in order to halt construction of the church and demolish the building (video). The clashes between security and the Copts resulted in the death of three Coptic men from bullet wounds and a four year old child from a tear gas being thrown inside the chapel. More than 79 Copts were wounded, some severely, and 157 people including women and children, were all charged, with premeditated murder of a police officer, assaulting security officers, rioting, theft and destruction of public property (AINA 11-30-2010).

Video of Christian Copts being shot in Egypt

Posted on by

This is the reality today. The call by the Islamic Brotherhood and Al Qeada to attack Christians throughout the middle east has been heeded. It is open season on non-Muslims wherever Muslims have the numbers to grant impunity. Caveat Infidel.

from this webstite:

The story courtesy of Gates of Vienna:

(AINA) —

Clashes broke out between Christian protesters and Egyptian security forces over the construction of St. Mary and St. Michael church in Talbiya, within the Omraniya neighborhood of Giza, resulting in the killing of two Copts, hundreds of injuries and the arrest of more than 200 Copts.

Nearly 5,000 security forces with over 45 vehicles cordoned off the church site at 3:00 am on Wednesday November 24 , while builders were working on the roof. They used tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition (video of Copts being shot at http://www.fcv2.com/show-2,N-5956-Qatar-Saudi-Arabia-United-Arab-Emirates-Dubai-f-c-v.html Continue Reading →

Egypt: Mob burns Christian homes

Posted on by

From ADNKRONOS by way of The Religion of Peace

Cairo, 16 Nov. (AKI) – A group of Islamic radicals set fire to 10 houses belonging to Christians in a village approximately 500 kilometres south of Cairo, less than a month after Al-Qaeda said it would target the northern African country’s religious minority.

Local security forces said the assailants would have caused far more damage had they not been arrested.

Following an October attack on a Baghdad church that killed at least 58 people, Al-Qaeda said it would target Christians in the Middle East and northern Africa and singled out those in Egypt.

Attacks on Christians have increased despite announcements of support by Muslim leaders.

Coptic Christians make up around 10 percent of Egypt’s population of 80 million.

The Tundra Tabloids comes across this hot one, from the blog Arabist.net:

“That’s what al-Ahram thinks, apparently, since it cannot bear to see Mubarak not be the first on the red carpet at the recent Washington Middle East peace meeting. BloggerWaELK uncovered the photoshop job carried out by the al-Ahram editors, which has making the rounds on the internet:”

Zero takes lead of the entourage

After Al-Ahram gets done with it, Egyptian president 
for life Hosni Mubarak leads the group

The copy and past Mubarak in front of Zero himself, which is after all, fitting, for that’s how the Islamic world views him anyways. KGS
