Egypt: Mob of 20K Rampaging Islamists Try To Kill Pastor, Torch Church…




Welcome to post-Arab Spring Egypt.


(AINA) — A mob of nearly 20,000 radical Muslims, mainly Salafis, attempted this evening to break into and torch the Church of St. Mary and St. Abram in the village of Meet Bashar,in Zagazig, Sharqia province. They were demanding the death of Reverend Guirgis Gameel, pastor of the church, who has been unable to leave his home since yesterday. Nearly 100 terrorized Copts sought refuge inside the church, while Muslim rioters were pelting the church with stones in an effort to break into the church, assault the Copts and torch the building. A home of a Copt living near the church and the home of the church’s porter were torched, as well as three cars.

The mob demanded the return Rania of Khalil Ibrahim, 15, to her father. She has been held with the Security Directorate since yesterday. Christian-born Rania had converted to Islam three months ago after her father, who had converted to Islam two years ago and took custody of her. She had disappeared from the village on Saturday, after claiming to go shopping. According to Reverend Guirgis Gameel, she had a disagreement with her father, who had arranged a marriage for her with a Muslim man.

Her father, Khalil Ibrahim, went to the police on Saturday and accused the priest of being behind her disappearance, and said she had gone to live with her Coptic mother.

Yesterday a Salafi mob of 2000 went to the priest’s home and destroyed his furniture and his car, surrounded the church and pelted it with stones. They demolished a large section of the church fence. In the evening security forces announced that they had found Rania in Cairo and that she was not abducted by Christians; she was brought to the police station in Meet Bashar.

Obama budget funds persecution of Christians in “Arab Spring” Egypt


Obama’s freshly unveiled 2013 budget includes a $770 million haul for “young democracies” in Islamic nations—places where it is known that Christians are being killed and persecuted due to the very Arab Spring that calls itself “democracy.” RT.com reports,

The White House revealed its plans to help the Arab Spring states on Monday. The grim outlook of the US economy and the continuing mass protests at home do not seem to deter Obama from nursing the countries that the US wants to see as heading to a better, truly “democratic” future.

Nor does he seem inclined to end military support to Egypt. Obama wants to keep aid to Egypt at recent levels, which is $1.3 billion a year despite a crisis triggered by an Egyptian investigation targeting American democracy activists, Reuters reports. Egypt has been getting about $1.6 billion annually, mostly in military assistance, and is thus regarded as one of the top recipients of US aid. In the fiscal year 2012, $250 million of aid approved for Egypt was economic; $1.3 billion was military and there was a $60 million “enterprise fund” approved by Congress.

Most of the economic aid for the Arab Spring countries – $770 million – is expected to be spent on establishing a new “Middle East and North Africa Incentive Fund,” Obama said.

Indonesian Artist Holds Protest Against Religious Violence – Promptly Attacked By Islamists…




Symbolism at its finest.


(Jakarta Globe) — An Indonesian artist is the latest person to fall victim to hard-line religious organizations after he was attacked during a peaceful protest outside the headquarters of Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia’s office in Yogyakarta on Wednesday.

Bramantyo Prijosusilo, an East Java-based artist and journalist who has published a number of opinion pieces in the Jakarta Globe, was attacked by dozens of MMI members and supporters during a perfomance piece titled ‘Membanting Macan Kerah’.

Bramantyo told the Globe the performance was intended to inspire people to fight against radicalism, anarchy, intimidation and violence.

He said his glasses were broken in the attack but his injuries were not serious.

The MMI — once headed by convicted terrorist Abu Bakar Bashir before he was ousted in a power struggle — has filed blasphemy charges against the artist and called on him to apologize.
