Top Religious Institution in Egypt Demands Christian Television Station Shut Down
Another nail in the coffin of those Libtarded “Coexist” bumper stickers… Here’s a more apropos bumper sticker:
Egypt Muslim group orders Christian TV station off air: report
Sapa-dpa | 29 December, 2011 – Times Live
An offshoot of Egypt’s top religious institution, Al Azhar, has called on the government to take a Christian television station off the air, allegedly for offending Muslims, the semi-official Al-Ahram newspaper reported Thursday.
The Islamic Research Centre, which made the demand, is headed by Ahmed al-Tayeb, the sheikh of Al Azhar, which is the Sunni Muslim world’s oldest seat of religious learning.
The centre accused US-based Christian broadcaster Al Karma (Vineyard) of insulting Islam and inciting sectarian divisions in Egypt, at a meeting late Wednesday, the newspaper reported.
Al Karama transmits its programmes via the Egyptian state-run satellite NileSat.
Christians, who make up around 10% of Egypt’s population, often complain of being treated as second-class citizens and feel marginalised by the predominately Muslim population.
Egypt’s Christians recently criticized state television for being biased in reporting about clashes between mainly Christian protesters and army forces in October, when at least 26 people were killed.
However, liberal and secular forces have accused leaders of both faiths of promoting hatred, and of exploiting sectarian sensitivities in the country.

They will destroy all the ancient Egyptian artifacts that have only survived due to the fact that they were buried under the sand. The Pyramids will go too now that they have the means, modern explosives. Muslims like to attack the head, who do you think defaced the Sphinx?
I predicted this awhile back but pay no attention cause I don’t have any idea what I am talking about.

Of course the muzzies are gonna shut down all Christian or other religious media.
They don’t like to have competition.

What a thank you, it was just a few short months ago when Christians surrounded muslim protestors to protect them while they prayed. It is nice to see them return the favor (sarc).

The Egyptian historian al-Maqrizi, writing in the fifteenth century, attributes the vandalism to Muhammad Sa’im al-Dahr, a Sufi fanatic from the khanqah of Sa’id al-Su’ada. In 1378, upon finding the Egyptian peasants making offerings to the Sphinx in the hope of increasing their harvest, Sa’im al-Dahr was so outraged that he destroyed the nose. Al-Maqrizi describes the Sphinx as the “Nile talisman” on which the locals believed the cycle of inundation depended.
As you can see the mussies have been destroying ancient Egyptian artifacts for a very long time.
“Christians, who make up around 10% of Egypt’s population, often complain of being treated as second-class citizens”
Actually according to islamic law they are not even second class citizens they are dhimmis and it appears the jizya they are paying is not enough to save them.
If you believe April showers bring May flowers — Then the arab spring will bring the winter of theocratic totalitarian governments.

P.S. – If you have a color printer, you can buy some adhesive paper and print up the graphic for this article. Also, I’ve modified an anti-coexist bumper sticker that I’m printing up for my car:

Also, you can chop off the Islam and Peace symbols and you get “exist.” I have a PhotoShop’ed version here:

More riffs on the Coexist theme here, including other parodies:
Enough with the Coexist stickers already!

Shutting down Christian TV in Egypt is just one more part of the pogrom or a phase in the 1400+ yr. ‘total war,’ on Christianity in the Islamic world. The MSM does some reporting on the crimes perpetrated on Christians and other Infidels, however the true scope these horrific incidents and the real number of murders mayhem, and ‘religious cleansing’ will more than likely never be accurately tabulated or revealed. The MSM always ‘tap dances’ around and glosses over such issues out of fear of being shut out or even tossed out of those ‘Islamic Paradises’. How strange is was that not so long ago everyone on the Left, the pompous blowhards in the UN, and the political class in the West were on the bandwagon and rather vocal on the subject of ending apartheid in South Africa, but are strangely silent on the blatant and rather obvious daily assaults, murders, church burnings and property destruction suffered by Christians throughout the Islamic world. IMHO this is the ultimate double standard.

The entire coexist concept is flawed, it assumes that all religions and ideologies desire friendship and are willing to work toward that goal. Switch things around a bit and the truth emerges. Was there ever a time when the Nazi’s, Fascists, Communists and the west could have just decided to coexist? Did we all miss the kinder, gentler Nazi? Should we immortalize the ones that never forced a human into an oven or remember that all of them were Nazi’s? They same can be done of all violent ideologies with the same results, none of them will ever be able to simply coexist. To ignore the truth is not just intellectually dishonest, it is complacency.
