Christians flee from coming Shariah law
WORLDNET DAILY Michael Carl
The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood says they want to institute Shariah law, while intelligence sources report al-Qaida is now staging attacks in the nation, prompting Egypt's Coptic Christians to believe that they'll soon be driven from their homeland.
International Christian Concern's Aidan Clay says the Copts' attitude has gone from uncertainty to fear. That fear is driving many Coptic Christians to try to leave Egypt.
"A report from a very prominent Coptic says he's getting hundreds of calls a week from Coptic Christians who are trying to get out of the country," Clay told WND in an interview. "That's an extremely sad thing considering we're seeing that throughout the Middle East. We're seeing the quick removal of ancient Christian communities. Egypt has the highest Christian population of any country and a very old Christian church there."
Clay places responsibility for the growing pressure to the growing influence of the Muslim Brotherhood.
"The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic groups are gaining a lot of political influence," Clay explained. "Actually the Muslim Brotherhood is really the only organized Islamic group forming a political party.
"So really, there is a fear that the Muslim Brotherhood could take power. It's the same with the Salafis. They're now saying they're willing to run for Parliament," Clay added.
..."Anytime Shariah law is created in a government like that, it is created so that it will delete any other religion," Hakim explained. "As we know over the years, Islam cannot really live with any other religion, especially when it's controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda or the Wahhabi."
Hakim says that what's happening in Egypt is a natural result of Muslims exerting control. He also says that the West doesn't understand the dynamic of Muslims flexing their muscles.
"So the crisis in Egypt is normal. It's what's expected," Hakim asserted. "The Western World never really sees things or has enough knowledge about what radical Islam is."
Editor's note: America needs to wake up to the reality of the salafist jihadists who are the tip of the Islamic sword wielded by the Muslim Brotherhood. A sword cloaked by political correctness allegedly in the name of democratic reform. Sharia law is diametrically opposed to democracy.

Lest anyone think Coptic Christian are the equivalent to believers in the Lord Jesus Christ... check out the following info:
ReplyDelete"Coptic Christianity" is an heretical gnostic tradition which originated in Syria and proliferated in the early centuries A.D. through Clement's Alexandrian School in Egypt. 1. Later history associates the Coptic Church with Druidism, euphemistically called "Celtic Christianity." This pagan sect, which migrated to the British Isles, claims that the literal bloodline of Jesus Christ exists today in a royal lineage called the Merovingian Dynasty. Today, the Coptic/Celtic Church is a formidable movement which is spreading its gnostic heresy -- based on counterfeit Scriptures -- via the popular Grail legends. In his book, The Occult Conspiracy, Michael Howard connects Coptic Christianity with Druidism, Gnosticism, Neo-Platonism, the Secret Gospel of Mark and the Prieuré de Sion:
"In addition to Druidism, the Celtic Church had been influenced by Coptic Christianity. This unorthodox version of the new faith was founded by Clement of Alexandria who had blended the teachings of Jesus with Gnosticism, Judaism and Neo-Platonism. Clement founded his Coptic Church on the Secret Gospel of Mark, written by the evangelist in Alexandria following the death of Jesus. This gospel preserved the inner teachings given by Jesus to his closest disciple who had been initiated into the Christian mysteries. It is interesting that Ormus, the legendary first-century founder of the secret society which became the Priory of Sion, lived in Alexandria and was converted to Christianity by Mark." 2.
The Columbia Encyclopedia identifies the doctrine of the Coptic Church as Monophysitism, which was declared a heresy in the 5th century by the Council of Chalcedon. Monophysites maintained that the human and divine in Jesus Christ constituted but one composite nature. The Council of Chalcedon labored to determine the correct terminology which would define the doctrine of the Incarnate Christ as existing in two natures, united in one person. Note in the next citation from the Columbia Encyclopedia that the Coptic Church is in communion with the Jacobite Church, which led the Monophysite opposition to the affirmation of the two natures of Christ by the Council of Chalcedon. The Jacobite Church confesses the "one divine-human nature" of Christ and has historically been separated from the Roman Catholic Church:
ReplyDelete"Most Copts belong to the Coptic Church, an autonomous Christian sect that officially adheres to Monophysitism, which was declared (451) a heresy by the Council of Chalcedon. The Church is in communion with the Jacobite Church (also Monophysite) . . .the chief bishop, the Patriarch of Alexandria is in direct succession to the 5th century Patriarchs who embraced Monophysitism. Among the Copts a small minority are in communion with the Pope; these 'Catholic Copts' have their own organizations and churches but share the rites and practices of the Coptic Church. This community began to develop in the 18th cent. Protestant missions have had some success among the Copts. Besides Copts there are orthodox communities, mainly Greek and Syrian; the Orthodox Patriarch of Alexandria traces his succession to the Catholics of the 5th century. There are also many Catholic Syrians, mainly Melkites and Maronites." 3, 4.
During his visit to Egypt, Pope John Paul II said Mass at the Catholic Coptic Cathedral. This would appear to be the "Catholic Copts" mentioned above which share the rites and practices of the Coptic Church. Research of the liturgy of the Coptic Mass disclosed that this ritual is the ancient worship of Horus, the Sun-god, as the Egyptian "Christ". Dr Ragheb Moftah, whom the Coptic patriarch called "the father of hymnology," and his British colleague, Ernest Newlandsmith, have spent their lives collecting the hymns to be chanted in Coptic Masses and syncretizing Ancient Egyptian and Western hymnology.
