Marxists in Egypt, like the left in the West, will help pave the way to an Islamic Egypt. It must be remembered that not so long ago it was the Marxists in Egyp, alongside Muslims, who had called for the downfall of Mubarek. Now, Abdel Moneium Abul Fotouh, a politician who is one of the most likely to win the Egyptian presidency, has a marxist by the name of Rahab El-Mahdy, as his political advisor. While many in the West praise this as a sign of diversity on Fotouh’s part, one must surpass the common prejudices of modern eyes.

Aboul Fotouh has stated his plan in making a Sharia state, but of course with the common pre-qualification, without which the modern mind goes hysterical. “Sharia is truth,” said Fotouh in a conference in Minya, “justice, mercy, benefit and solidarity”. In the same conference Fotouh wished to clarify to the Coptic Christians of Egypt that their fear of a tyrannical Islamic state was false and had come from, in the words of one commentator, “ignorant forces”.

Fotouh had also promulgated his belief that Egyptian politicians must apply Sharia as the law of the land in accordance with Islamic scholars, and “not everyone who claims they are experts on religion.”

Fothouh’s claims on Sharia being about peace and justice, is a mere masquerading of the truth. Firstly, in one conference Fotouh made it clear that “The Palestinian cause is not an Arab-Zionist struggle, but it is an Egyptian Security issue. We need to stand steadfast against this exchange because this exchange is dangerous for not only Egypt, but the entire Arab world.” (translated by Walid Shoebat) The quote speaks for itself: Fotouh is not only perfidious to the western world, but an enemy to our greatest ally in the Middle East.

Secondly, it is not insignificant that the most influential thinker in the Sunni world, and for the Muslim Brotherhood, Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, had endorsed Fotouh, describing him as one “who has patience and how he treats people’s interest”. “I prefer Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh”, said Qaradawi. An endorsement from Qaradawi is not something one should take pride in. The French government under Sarkozy saw the sheikh as a threat to their nation, and for that reason had him banned from entering. In 2009, Al-Jazeera had aired a speech by Qaradawi in which he encouraged Muslims to do unto the Jews what Hitler had committed:

“The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them – even though they exaggerated this issue – he managed to put them in their place. This was divine punishment for them. Allah willing, the next time will be at the hands of the believers.”

This speech is enough for one to conclude that for Fotouh to receive an endorsement from Qaradawi, signifies that he his backed by the most elite of the Muslim Brotherhood ideologues.

Overall, if Fotouh wins, the hope of the moderns will be held in vain; it is best to step to the right side of history than to be remembered as the fool who modishly praised a tyrant. When Egypt becomes a fully Islamic country, it is emphatic that a holocaust will be perpetrated upon the small Coptic community of Egypt. Persecution upon the Egyptian Christians was first begun by the pagans of Egypt and Rome, and now it is being done by the Muslims; and all of this has been thrown into the realm of obscurity by the modern thinker who esteems democracy as the remedy to all tyranny. It is not the system of government which makes a civil people, but the ideology and beliefs lodged within their souls. As long as Islam is the majority, or the sole religion of the masses, civil government will never prevail in the land.

The leftists will of course condemn such an opinion as intolerant. But, we are indeed in the age in which the Christian must be tolerant toward everything except that which is good. The support of an Islamic revolution by a leftist is not phenomenal; for both leftism and Islam are for the death of Christendom. In 1979, a French homosexual philosopher named Michel Foucault had praised the return of the Ayatollah Khomeini to Iran during the country’s Islamic revolution, which had replaced the regime of the Shah Reza Pahlavi, with a Sharia state. Foucault had praised Khomeini as “a kind of mystic saint”, and had reverenced Iran’s new “Islamic government” as a form of “political spirituality” which could inspire hardline leftists to vanquish the capitalists in the west.

While many of the moderns today would declare their disdain for the tyranny of Islamic Iran, they see no ill in supporting revolutions which are merely forming new nations reminiscent to Iran.

The truth is right in front of us, all one has to do is open the eyes of his mind, to realize that darkness which had once blinded him, and that Light which will, one day, prevail over all the principalities of evil.

“And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.” (Genesis 10: 8-9)

In the Bible, the first tyrant, Nimrod, is described as a great and mighty rebel against God, and king of Mesopotamia. It was this Nimrod who commenced the building of the Tower of Babel, man’s first image symbolizing the attempt by human beings to surpass God by glory and ascendency. Today, we have a new tyrant in our midst, this time in Sudan, who wishes to make himself supreme at the expense of making men slaves, without life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. His name is Eltayeb Mustafa; he his indeed a mighty hunter of people’s lives, a tyrant against God, and he too wishes for ascendancy at the expense of human blood. And just as the Tower of Babel was a symbol of religious supremacy over the true religion of God, Mustafa’s doctrine – Islam – is emphatically one which seeks to surpass Christianity.

The tension between North and South Sudan is not secular in nature; it is religious. It is a result of Jihad against Christians, which has been taking place ever since the inception of Islam. To label the conflict between the two as a mere fight over land and oil would be to ignore what lies beneath the surface. Western media focuses on symptoms instead of the disease of Islamic fundamentalism. Omar Al-Bashir, the president of Sudan and head of the National Party, has an uncle by the name of Eltayeb Mustafa, an obscure individual to the English reader; his words incite carnage unknown to most of the media. Last year, Mustafa supported a fatwa from Abdul Hai Yusuf, which we have translated from the Arabic, which states:

Of the greatest calamities and evils is to permit an exhibition entitled ‘the Holy Bible,’ this lying forgery, which allows the kufars [non-Muslims] to spread their religion amongst Muslims, and to fascinate the common man, that Christianity prevents them from carrying out the path of Allah. After all, hearts are weak, and people are not equal in distinguishing truth from falsehood, and this work should not be allowed for any sane person. These things are destructive and are of great mischief. The duty for whomever Allah has given a hand by leader or man of responsibility is to prevent this evil, or else he is a traitor to Allah, and his prophet, and to the Muslim community.

Freedom of Religion anyone?

On October 10th, 2011, with this fatwa now declared, thugs working for Omar al-Bashir’s National Party, armed with sticks and machetes, attacked South Sudanese Christians celebrating in front of Kambouni playground. This slaughter, as we learn from William Sunday D. Tor, was repeated quite recently on Sunday, April 22nd, in which mobs of Sudanese Muslims, instigated by Eltayeb Mustafa, set fire to a church in Khartoum.

These acts are in accordance with not only Omar al-Bashir’s agenda, but Islamic teachings. The Qur’an makes very specific how non-Muslims, especially Christians, are to be treated:

“The punishment for anyone who fights against Allah and His apostle and do mischief in the land is that he be killed or crucified or to have his hands and feet from opposite ends (cut off) or be banished from the land.” (Quran: The table spread)

This Qur’anic verse is what is used in Islamic jurisprudence, or Sharia, the same precept which Omar al-Bashir seeks to fully establish.

In one frenzied speech, Bashir declared that if he:

“…had a victory the constitution would be fixed, we will make Sharia the source for all law, and the main source for religion.”

If the dispute is all secular, then why is Bashir calling for Sharia state while Mustafa destroys churches? The reality is that this is not a secular battle, but a religious one. And therefore the recent attacks on Christians by Bashir’s regime are based on what Islam provokes its believers to commit.

According to Brad Philips, the hatred which is harbored by Bashir and his ilk – for Christians and other non-Muslims – has caused the deaths of over three million people. If we are to be on the right side of history, and not like those who ignored the ideology of the Nazis, we must not turn our eyes from the obvious ideological connections with the current holocaust being inflicted upon the South Sudanese people.

The dispute between the North and the South is not one between mere tribes, but between the Cross and the Crescent; the Bible and the Qur’an; Jesus and Muhammad.

Westerners need to admit this or it will be forced upon them.

Although the motive for the North Sudanese is the control over the South’s oil, there lies an even deeper motivation: a hatred for Christianity. For those who would disagree, one only needs to point to the recent burning of a church in Khartoum by a Muslim mob just this Sunday. If the tensions between the North and South are merely secular, then what is the purpose of burning a church, which emphatically is innocent? It does us no justice to describe this tragedy as merely a secular problem, when we find Muslims doing what they have been doing since the very beginnings of Islam’s history.

According to Fox News, the North launched an attack inside South Sudan just in a matter of days after the South declared that it would pull out from disputed land, in order to avoid a full out war. It then so happens that a church is burned by people who are of the same religion which preaches for the death of Christians.  Let us not forget history; Umar, a leading disciple of the prophet Muhammad,  conquered Jerusalem in 638 AD where he had prohibited Christians from building churches, while at the same time permitting Muslims from taking any church they desired. It is now more than appropriate to bridge the violence we see being committed by Muslims, with their own ideology.

While America was made to be, in the words of John Adams, “the illumination of the ignorant, and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth”, today’s president sees despotic countries like Egypt as a fountain of enlightenment for us primitive patriots.  An attestant for this is the Obama administration’s giving away $1.5 billion to the new government of Egypt, whose parliament is over fifty percent Islamist–consisting mostly of either Muslim Brotherhood or Salafist members–with the rest being a minuscule group of some Christians and women. Hilary Clinton has said that the Obama administration will make sure that Egyptian politicians conduct themselves peaceably toward every Egyptian. But, as far as the behavior of the Islamists goes, this is surely not the case.  The Muslim Brotherhood promised that they would prevent their membership in parliament from going over fifty-percent–this never happened. Dardery, a top member of the Muslim Brotherhood has stated that Christians and women will be seen as full citizens of Egypt–this is another failed promise.

When Egypt’s committee for forming a new constitution was being configured,  Christians were virtually not invited, the panel consisting of mostly Islamists. The Muslim Brotherhood said they would not nominate a presidential candidate–yet another lie which has been left without contention from our government. The Muslim Brotherhood has nominated Khairat el-Shater, an Islamic fundamentalist who plans on implementing Sharia law. Why hasn’t Clinton admonished the Islamic politicians for conducting such despotic methods of ruling? Because the Left, as usual, loves tyrannical revolutions. Whether it be the revolutions of France, Mexico, Cuba, Russia, Iran, etc., the progressives are uplifted at the sight of the collectivists masses ousting out their governments for a socialist utopia.

Now this same administration is giving away $1.5 billion of our tax dollars to support a tyranny. The Left has always supported despotism over liberty; from the French Revolution to today, they have exalted the enemies of the church and individualism, for the espousers of collectivism and state worship, under which Egypt will soon be fully subjugated. Under an Islamic government, Allah and the state are inseparable, and thus all those who go against Allah, are enemies of the collective (or Umma, the universal Islamic community).

Christians in Egypt are not a part of the Umma, and thus will have all of their liberties confiscated by the state. Their rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness will be but a far away dream in a land ruled under the Koran, which commands that enemies of Allah be punished by different forms of mutilation, including “Salb” or crucifixion. Its the Roman Empire all over again, but instead of Christians being executed for refusing to worship Jupiter and his Caesar, they will now be punished for not paying worship to Allah and his prophet Muhammad.

Such a state of tyranny will now be being supported by our government. We as Americans, as members who are to be a light to the world, should be at serious odds at such a horrendous, and sinister, enactment by our administration.

When 138 Muslim clerics signed a document entitled, “A Common Word between Us and You,” it
was portrayed as an attempt to unite Muslims and Christians. The document, however, asserted that the
Islamic God known as “Allah” and the Christian God known as “Yawheh” are one in the same, that
Christians and Muslims worship the same God.

Ted Shoebat, son of a former Muslim terrorist who was once a Muslim Brotherhood activist
and PLO member, sees the act of signing the document, “Loving God and Neighbor Together,” as
one that necessarily includes a renouncing of Christianity. “The push for Chrisitans to beg for Islamic
acceptance and to express tolerance by declaring Allah as one with the Christian God,” Shoebat
says, “leaves us to wonder as to why Muslims are not the ones apologizing for past atrocities and
accepting Jesus Christ.”

In a video – link below – it’s pointed out that there is a verse in the Qur’an itself which explains the
intent of the use of the phrase, “a Common Word.” It says the following in Sura 3:64:

“O people of the Book (Christians)! Come to a common word between us and you, that we worship
none but Allah, and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords
besides Allah.”

There are two very fundamental differences between the Islamic and Christian Gods. Muslims believe
that their God is without a Son and denies the Trinity. Christians believe the opposite. Any common
word between the two must reconcile those things. For Christians to believe that Muslims worship the
same God, Muslims must accept the Holy Trinity and Jesus.

Interestingly, one of the signatures on “A Common Word” is none other thatn Ground Zero mosque
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, whose NYC mosque was going to be called the Cordoba House. This carried
historical significance because Cordoba, Spain is where Muslims transformed a Church into a Mosque
hundreds of years ago. In the case of Cordoba, the Ground Zero mosque was named after a conquest. In
the case of “A Common Word,” the signatories follow their own Qur’an’s instructions on how to pursue
forced conversions while using stealth.
