Egypt: Muslims burn Christian man alive, stab his father to death

"When this story was first reported, the media described it the way it always describes Coptic persecution at the hands of Muslims -- as a 'sectarian-clash.' As this more revealing report makes clear, however, it was anything but a 'sectarian-clash' (which suggests Christians and Muslims, in more or less equal numbers, fighting and rioting). Instead, a Muslim set a Christian on fire, and then other Muslims attacked his father, stabbing him to death -- this in a village where Christians make up maybe 3-4% of the total population. Keep this in mind the next time you hear about "sectarian clashes" occurring where Muslims predominate and non-Muslims live as minorities.

'Egyptian Christian Burned Alive; Father Murdered Also,' by Ethan Cole for the Christian Post, March 10:


'A young Christian man was suddenly set on fire by a Muslim man in Egypt after a rumor circulated that the Christian man had a relationship with the Muslim man's sister.

Yasser Ahmed Qasim approached 25-year-old Sabri Shihata and poured gasoline on the Coptic Christian and then set him on fire, reported the Voice of the Copts on Friday. The young Copt tried to put out the fire by throwing himself into a nearby canal, but the burns were too severe and he later died.

His 60-year-old father, Sabri Shihata, later arrived at a village rally where a group of Muslims stabbed him to death. One stab reportedly entered his back and came out of his abdomen below the rib cage, according to Voice of the Copts. The elder Shihata was taken to the hospital but nevertheless died from the attacks.

The Muslim group also attacked the Coptic man’s younger brother, 22-year-old Rami Sabri Shihata, causing a deep injury to his head...'"


How can anyone be so heartless? First, a teenage girl must endure a rape. Then, because she brought shame on her family, an uncle murders her in an honor killing. Islam: a true "religion of peace". More like a religion of horror.

Jordanian Man Gets 10 Years for Honor Killing His Raped Niece…

"Remember, Islam has nothing to do with it…


(AFP) – 'A Jordanian man was condemned to death on Wednesday for killing his raped teenage niece to “cleanse” the family’s honor, but the sentence was later commuted to 10 years in jail.

“The victim’s family has urged the court to reduce the sentence, and it was commuted to 10 years in prison,” a criminal court official told AFP.

Murder is punishable by the death penalty in Jordan, but in the case of so-called “honor killings,” a court usually commutes or reduces sentences, particularly if the victim’s family urges leniency.

Last year, Jamil, 41, shot his 16-year-old niece Abir eight times in different parts of her body after she was raped in 2008. The court did not provide the surnames of the victim or her uncle.

“In his confession, he claimed that he killed the girl to cleanse his family’s honor,” the official said, citing court papers.

Abir gave birth to a baby boy two months before her murder, and her family kept the child, he added.'"
