Atrocity in Egypt

Hat tip Ahram Online, MRCTV and Vlad Tepes


The below video comes here via MRCTV and Vlad Tepes. It has just been posted and shows a rioting mob of Sunni Muslims attacking a Shia home yesterday  in Giza (That's the area on the outskirts of Cairo where the pyramids are located in case you are planning to visit them soon.) Four are dead. The video is quite graphic. You should watch it, however, so you can better understand the threat we are facing and what is happening in Egypt and across the Islamic world.

Here is a more detailed report from Ahram Online. It also contains the video.

This attack was not a case of rival criminal gangs or drug cartels exacting vengeance. It was not a soccer mob. There were no chants of "Go Jets" or "Make'em an offer they can't refuse." The screams were, as always,  "Allahu Akhbar" (God is Great).

I can't seem to figure out why God would want some of His children to kill other of His children. I can't seem to figure out why God needs anyone on earth to defend and protect Him. Is God really so hateful as this?

Not to my way of thinking.

This comes in the wake of my post yesterday about a professor at the University of North Carolina who has used President Obama's speech in Berlin last week to call on him to say, "Tear down (the Israeli) wall".

As soon as Israel tears down that wall, the only thing that protects them from scenes like the above is their army. On the contrary, this illustrates the need for the Israelis-and the rest of us to build our own walls and build them even higher.

Once again, it becomes clear that the West cannot continue to import this mad mentality into our countries. Until this madness stops, it has to be contained in its own neighborhood. That means we must examine (again) our immigration policies. Yet, Obama is trying to increase the numbers of people coming here from these countries. It is pure madness.

Keep in mind, the victims here were not Christians or Jews (this time), but Shia Muslims. This is what is going on across the Middle East, where these two sects of Islam are killing each other over a theological issue involving who should have been the successor to the Prophet Mohammed when he died 1400 years ago!

It has taken me a long time to come to this position on immigration because I have always and still do favor immigration in general. I realize that this penalizes innocent Muslims who have no desire to act out in this manner toward anybody. The problem is, however, that innocent Muslims are making themselves irrelevant because they will not or cannot rise up and clean up this mess within their religion. Maybe it is silent acquiescence; maybe it is fear of retribution against themselves and their families. Keep in mind that many American Muslims have families in the old country who can be and have been subject to retaliation if an American family member challenges the extremists.

What is it we in the West can do to stop this fanaticism? Sadly, I think nothing. Only Muslims can solve this, and I don't see it happening. We have no wish to go to war with any religion, let alone one that has over a billion followers world-wide. We have to protect ourselves, however. It seems to me the only solution for the West is to stop this wave of Islamic immigration into our countries.
