Muçulmano imola copta, cujo pai foi morto pela multidão

Tolerância religiosa, à maneira muçulmana: ao mínimo acto visto pelos muçulmanos como desrespeitoso, castigo severo. É consequência do estatuto dhimmi previsto para os cristãos e judeus pela sharia.

A Muslim man set fire to a Coptic young man, murdered his father and wounded his younger brother, after it was rumored that the young Copt allegedly had a relationship with the Muslim man's sister!!

The events took place in the small village of "Dmas" Meet-Ghamr, after a rumor spread around of a relationship between the 25-year-old Copt Shihata Sabri, and the sister of a Muslim man named Yasser Ahmed Qasim.

Yasser went to Coptic Shehata, holding a gasoline canister, poured it over him and set him on fire, as bystanders looked on in horror. The young Copt threw himself into the adjacent canal to try to put out the flames from his burning body. The fire left burns all over his body, leading to his death.

Following this incident, people in the village rallied and when the 60-years-old Sabri Shehata, father of the Coptic victim arrived, he was attacked by a group of Muslims stabbing him with knives and daggers; one stab penetrated his back to come out of his abdomen below the rib cage, resulting in his death, after being transferred to hospital.

A Coptic witness said that Yasser Ahmed, who is reputed to be a thug, and others have also beaten the Coptic victim's younger brother, 22-year old Rami Sabri Shehata, causing a deep injury to his head.

The security forces moved into the village of Dmas, which has a population of 60,000 people, including over 1000 Copts, surrounded the victims' house and deployed extra forces throughout the village.

The offenders were arrested together with the accused Yasser Ahmed Kassem and his friend, as well as the Copt Shehata Sabry who was held in custody in Dmas Hospital. The offenders were charged with deliberate homicide.

The body of Coptic victim Sabri Shehata was released for burial after prayers took place at the Church of Our Lady in the village of Dakados, which lies 20 kilometers from Dmas, amid a tight security siege.

A Muslim villager portrayed the incident as an honour killing stressing that it was because of Coptic Shehata Sabri teasing Yasser about a relationship he has with his sister, which prompted him and his friend to pour gasoline all over the Copt before setting him on fire. He denied that this incident will have an impact on the relations between the Muslims and Copts in the village.

The prosecution and the State Security Services are still investigating the incident amid media blackout.Read more at voiceofthecopts.org

Paquistanesa acusada de blasfémia é condenada à morte

Liberdade religiosa à maneira muçulmana:

PAQUISTÃO (14º) - Um tribunal paquistanês condenou a cristã Asia Bibi, mãe de quatro filhas, a morte por acusação de "blasfêmia", tornando-se assim a primeira mulher a receber tal punição capital.

O relatório da organização Release International diz que houve uma sessão na corte do tribunal no domingo, 7 de novembro, e foi dada a pena máxima à Asia encerrando o julgamento que durou mais de 16 meses.

O relatório disse que a Asia, uma trabalhadora rural de 37 anos, de Ittanwali, Punjab, também foi multada em mais de £ 700 ($ 1,129.76 dólares),  o equivalente a dois anos e meio do salário de um trabalhador médio.

"Parceiros do ministério Compartilhando Vida no Paquistão (SLMP, sigla em inglês), que têm apoiaram Asia e sua família durante toda a sua provação, dizem que eles e os familiares estão chocados com este resultado", afirmou.

O grupo observou que um condenado à morte por blasfêmia no Paquistão já foi executado, mas Asia poderá agora passar anos em condições desumanas no corredor da morte. Caso ela apele para o Tribunal Superior, talvez leve anos antes que seu caso seja julgado. Segundo o relatório, a polícia primeiro abriu um processo contra ela em junho de 2009, depois de muçulmanos locais a acusarem de fazer comentários depreciativos contra o profeta do islã, Maomé. "Ela disse que discutiu questões de fé com os companheiros de trabalho nos campos, quando Asia e suas filhas foram atacadas por moradores locais e clérigos muçulmanos. Ela declarou que foi forçada sob pressão de seus colegas a se converter ao islã", acrescentou o relatório. O SLMP planeja visitá-la na prisão o mais rapidamente possível. A Release International se preocupa que a condenação de Asia crie um precedente perigoso. Martha Bibi está em julgamento por blasfêmia em Lahore. Ela foi acusada em 2007, após uma disputa com os construtores, que supostamente se recusaram a devolver os equipamentos pertencentes a ela. Pedidos de oração: •    Ore para que Asia tenha confiança e paz do Senhor em seu coração, pois enfrenta um momento delicado. •    Ore pela sua família, em especial pelas filhas de Asia, que estão desoladas com a sentença. Ore por justiça Tradução: Carla Priscilla Silva Fonte: ASSIST - News Service

O tratamento dos cristão pelos otomanos

Le Traitement des Chretiens sous le Regne du Sultan Turc

Dans la litterature musulmane on nous donne un portrait idealise,que les non-musulmans etaient bien traites.En 1900 , 30% de la population de la Turquie actuelle etait chretienne.Le caliphat turc,avec son sultan, s’acheva en 1924.

Un Traitement Humiliant:

1.Le Devchirme:

Pendant 300 ans les turcs musulmans ont enleve et vole les enfants des chretiens dans la region balkanique (Grece,Albanie,Roumanie,Yougoslavie et meme l’Hongrie).Au moins 500.000 enfants furent obliges de devenir musulmans et devenir des soldats du sultan turc(les janissaires).

Des janissaires turcs

Et si les croises chretiens avaient vole 500.000 enfants musulmans de la Palestine et la Syrie au moyen age?

Et si ces memes croises avaient oblige les enfant a devenir chretiens et à lutter contre les musulmans?Quelle serait la reaction aujourd’hui du monde musulman?On aurait de la condamnation sans cesse.

2.Le Grand Massacre des Armeniens (1895) par les Turcs Musulmans:

En 1895 (pendant le regne du sultan musulman,pendant le caliphat,qui a dure jusqu’a 1924)au moins 200.000 armeniens furent massacres….seulement parce qu’ils etaient chretiens.

3.Le Genocide des Armeniens (1915-1917)

Une scène atroce du génocide arménien de 1915 perpétré par les Turcs

De nouveau,encore sous le regne du sultan au moins 1.5 million d’armeniens furent massacres surtout parce qu’ils etaient chretiens.Parfois on dit que la raison “n’etait pas religieuse” sinon “nationaliste”.Il y avait un element nationaliste,mais nier l’element religieux n’est pas convaincant.Quelques 200.000 femmes armeniennes se sont sauvees du genocide en se convertissant a l’islam et devenant les femmes des hommes kurdes(et les kurdes sont musulmans).

4.Le Grand Massacre des Chretiens Assyriens/Chaldeens (1914-1918) par les Turcs Musulmans:

C’est encore sous le pouvoir du sultan,au moins 250.000 (mais les etudes plus recentes donnent le chiffre de 500.000-750.000) chretiens assyriens (d’une population totale d’un million) furent massacres par les musulmans,seulement pour etre chretien.

5.Le Grand Massacre des Chretiens Grecs (au moins 700.000) par les Turcs Musulmans(1914-1923):

Selon plusieurs sources la quantite des grecs tues par les musulmans en Turquie etait de 300.000-360.000 seulement dans la region appelee le Pontus.

Par exemple,selon la Ligue Internationale pour les Droits et la Liberation des Peuples entre 1916-1923 350.000 grecs de cette region furent tues dans des massacres et les mauvais traitements.L’historien Merrill Peterson donne le chiffre de 360.000 grecs(dans “Starving Armenians:America and the Armenian Genocide”(2004)).George Valavanis donne le chiffre de 353.000(dans “Contemporary General History of Pontus”(1925)).Et Constantine Hatzidimitriou it que le chiffre total,pour tous les grecs de la Turquie etait 735.000(dans “American Accounts Documentating the Destruction of Smyrna by Kemalist Turkish Forces:September 1922″,page 2).

Os tormentos dos cristãos iraquianos – considerações na sequência do recente ataque a uma igreja em Bagdad

MEMRI: uma preciosa fonte de notícias, de informação história e de imagens.

The Plight of the Iraqi Christians – An Update following the Attack on the Baghdad Church

By: Dr. Nimrod Raphaeli*

Introduction

"The Plight of Iraqi Christians" was the title of a MEMRI document published over five years ago. The document was published during a period of intense sectarian violence that affected many sectors in Iraqi society, but, as we stressed at the time, the Christians "have been specifically targeted by Islamists, who either accuse them of collaborating with the 'invading crusading army' or label them as infidels. As Islamist pressures mounted in Iraq... Christian businesses were destroyed, Christian university students were harassed and Christian women were forced to wear the veil." In the same document, a Christian was quoted as saying: "Some of the Muslims consider us infidels. We are being targeted. They will eat us alive."[1] His premonition has proven to be tragically accurate.

Islam's Treatment of Minorities throughout the Ages

Liberal writer Dr. 'Abd Al-Khaliq Hussein wrote about the suffering of Christians in the Middle East, placing it in the broader context of Islam's treatment of minorities, particularly Christians and Jews, since the time of Muhammad.

Hussein points out that, while Arab writers frequently boast about the tolerant treatment of Christians, Jews, and Sabians in the Muslim world, the reality is actually very different. He shows that while some parts of the Koran and the Hadith advocate tolerance towards non-Muslims, others do not. For example, Koran 3:85 states that "whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it shall not be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he shall be one of the losers."

Dr. Hussein points out further that, throughout Arab and Islamic history, the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims has not been as warm as some claim; in fact, it has often been tragic. Muhammad is recorded as saying that no two religions shall live side by side in the Arabian Peninsula, and the Second Caliph, 'Omar, ordered Christians and Jews to be treated harshly and expelled from the Arabian Peninsula. Prominent medieval scholar Ibn Taymiyya, revered by today's Wahhabis, described churches as polytheist temples, and said that only mosques are houses of Allah. This historical background, says Dr. Hussein, has been exploited by the Wahhabi clerics of Saudi Arabia to persecute non-Muslims, and Al-Qaeda's description of the Baghdad church as "a corrupt den of polytheism" echoes Ibn Taymiyya's teachings.

Dr. Hussein reminds his readers that the massacre in the Baghdad church was not the first attack on Christians in Iraq, and not even the worst. He mentions the 1936 attack by the Iraqi army on the Assyrian Christians, in which at least 3,000 people were killed. He also mentions the infamous "farhoud" of 1941, a murderous attack on the Jews of Iraq in which hundreds were killed or wounded, and which eventually led to the emigration of the Iraqi Jewish community, that had predated Islam by at least 1,000 years. Dr. Hussein maintains that the terrorists, aided by Saudi Arabia, Syria and Iran, are seeking to empty Iraq of its Christians. [8]

In 2003, Christians constituted 3 percent of the Iraqi population (numbering 1.25-1.5 million). Since then, their numbers have continued to dwindle, and according to one Iraqi source, Christian clerics now estimate their number at no more than 400,000.[9]

The Middle East Is in Danger of Losing Its Christians

Another Iraqi commentator, 'Aziz Al-Hajj, argues that the experience of the Iraqi Christians is no different from that of other Christians in the Middle East, who all suffer blunt discrimination, aggression,  abuse of rights, and pressure to emigrate. He points out that since 2003, over 50 churches have been burned or destroyed in Iraq; a cardinal was kidnapped, three priests were murdered, and about 800 Christians have been killed.  The emigration of Christians is driven by their realization that if they stay behind, they will at best be second-class citizens. According to Al-Hajj, the number of Palestinian Christians is dwindling too: no more than 50,000 remain in the occupied territories, only 1000 of them in Gaza. Even in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Christ, the majority of the population is now Muslim.

The Truth about Islamophobia

Al-Hajj points to the difference between the Muslims' reaction to Islamophobia and their reaction to discrimination against non-Muslims in their own countries: When a Western politician makes an Islamophobic remark, or when a Western newspaper publishes what is viewed as offensive cartoons of the Prophet, Muslims scream blue murder. Yet very few raise their voice in defense of Christian Arabs, or call for the equal treatment of Christians and other non-Muslims minorities in Muslim lands.

The article also points out that, in covering the recent Catholic Synod of Eastern Churches, the Arab press focused on one point – the Israeli occupation – but ignored others, such the Synod's call for religious freedom and equality before the law. Al-Hajj mentions that even writers in the London-based daily Al-Hayat, which is considered liberal and fair compared to many other Arab papers, have described the deteriorating status of Middle East Christians as part of an overall problem afflicting both Muslims and Christians in the region. And some writers simply describe Christians and Muslims alike as "victims of Israel."

Al-Hajj highlights the difference between the state of religious minorities in the West and in the Arab countries. In the West, he says, Muslims practice their religion in freedom, and maintain thousands of mosques. Moreover, they are free to spread their religion, and openly celebrate each new convert. In contrast, Christians in the Muslim world are arrested for allegedly trying to spread Christianity, and a Muslim who converts to Christianity may face the death penalty. In the Gulf, Christians are forced to conduct prayers clandestinely at home, in hotels, or in the homes of diplomats, and even this entails a great risk.[10]

The Emigration of Minorities as Reflecting the Intolerance of Middle East Societies

Writing in Al-Hayat, columnist Houssam Itani described the crimes committed against Iraq's Christians as part of a broader problem in Arab society, which is becoming increasingly monolithic in religion and ethnicity, destroying the last vestiges of cultural diversity.

Itani says that, if one considers Al-Qaeda's threats against the Egyptian Copts, the Islamist pressure on the Lebanese Christians to make bitter and dangerous choices, and the aggression against the Christians in Iraq, the only possible way for Christians to escape this "dark environment" is to emigrate .

Itani extrapolates from the plight of the Christians to the plight of all peoples in the region. He maintains that, as a matter of fact, the Christians face a brighter future than the Muslim majority – for the latter can expect a rapid diminishing of political, ethnic, and religious tolerance and openness to the opinion of others. The destruction of the Buddhist statutes in Bamyan, Afghanistan, is a striking example of the kind of religious and cultural intolerance that awaits them, he says.[11]

Itani points out that the emigration of Christians in recent years, and of "other minorities" who left the Middle East in the past century (the reference is most likely to Jews) has coincided with the emigration of many educated and professional Muslims – which is another indication of the rejection of pluralism in the Arab and Muslim world.[12]

Conclusion

The Iraqi Christians are in a state of panic.[18] Archbishop Shlaymon Wardani, assistant to Cardinal Dali, has expressed doubts whether Al-Qaeda alone should be held responsible for the attack on the Baghdad church, and has predicted that Christians will flee – not just to the north of the country, where Christians have historically maintained their largest community, but out of the country. He added, "Every time we find a sense of hope, worse things happen that cause us to slide into despair again."[19]

Columnist Jaber Habib Jaber wrote that the Baghdad attack was "not just another Baghdad tragedy, but a warning bell to alert us to [the campaign] brewing in the region to empty Iraq of its Christians. Such a development would mean turning Iraq into something else – religiously homogenous but with a high degree of fanaticism and readiness for more bloodshed."[20]

«Porque é que os cristãos continuam calados?»

Destaques:

«La Iglesia Católica se calla porque teme que las denuncias acrecentarán la persecución. De hecho, en un reciente Sínodo para el Oriente Medio, los principales clérigos católicos de la región, criticaron a Israel y hablaron sobre lo maravillosamente bien que son tratados en los países de mayoría musulmana. Irak fue destacado como un país donde no existen problemas en las relaciones entre musulmanes y cristianos. Al parecer, sin embargo, la política de apaciguamiento no funciona.»

«El patriarca Católica Sirio Ignacio José III Younan (la iglesia atacada es sirio católica) tomó una posición más dura, instando al gobierno iraquí a que proteja las iglesias y agregó: "Los cristianos son asesinados en Irak, en sus casas e iglesias, y el llamado ´mundo libre´ observa con total indiferencia, interesado en responder solamente de una manera políticamente correcta y económicamente oportuna, pero en realidad es hipócrita".»

«No puedo entender cómo este hecho y estos ataques pasan a menudo desapercibidos, y desde luego sin protesta. ¿No es hora que los cristianos traten de ayudar a sus hermanos perseguidos antes de que sean eliminados totalmente – o, en el mejor caso, obligados a huir -?»

¿Por qué los cristianos callan?  Por Barry Rubin Los cristianos en Irak han sido, y no por primera vez, blanco de un grave y premeditado ataque terrorista. Desde Indonesia a Pakistán e Irak, desde la Franja de Gaza a Egipto, Sudán y Nigeria, los cristianos están siendo asaltados, intimidados y asesinados por militantes musulmanes.  Sin embargo, los cristianos en cualquiera de estos países - tal vez con algunas excepciones ocasionales en la India – prácticamente nunca atacan a musulmanes. En Occidente, no se han producido ni ataques terroristas ni asesinatos premeditados en contra de musulmanes. No existe ni siquiera un solo grupo que promueva este tipo de comportamiento. ¿Ha visto algo de esto en los medios de comunicación occidentales? ¿Se ha mencionado a alguno de esos grupos de la Iglesia cristiana - que siempre encuentran tiempo para criticar a Israel- siquiera mencionar este ataque sistemático? De hecho, en las raras ocasiones en que se menciona la emigración de los cristianos, siempre se culpa a Israel, como lo demostró recientemente una red de noticias norteamericana. No estoy escribiendo esto para quejarme sobre un doble rasero, ya que se tiene a este problema como un supuesto básico, sino por puro asombro. Presumiblemente, gran parte de los medios de comunicación y la intelectualidad occidentales – al igual que los líderes de la Iglesia suponen que es imposible que un grupo no-occidental "no blanco" tenga prejuicios. También existe la creencia de que si alguien se atreve a informar sobre los pogromos que llevan a cabo los musulmanes contra los cristianos se activarán automáticamente los pogromos de cristianos contra musulmanes. Bueno, la Iglesia Presbiteriana (EE.UU.) emitió una declaración condenando el ataque contra la iglesia de Bagdad, pero omitió mencionar quienes fueron los autores. Interrogado en privado por qué actuó de esta manera, un funcionario de alto rango de aquella congregación religiosa respondió: "Nuestro objetivo es alentar al gobierno a ser más eficaz en la protección de las minorías religiosas en Irak". En otras palabras, esperan que al no criticar nunca ni señalar las raíces del problema se forzará al régimen a que haga algo. Sin embargo, no lo hará. La Iglesia Católica se calla porque teme que las denuncias acrecentarán la persecución. De hecho, en un reciente Sínodo para el Oriente Medio, los principales clérigos católicos de la región, criticaron a Israel y hablaron sobre lo maravillosamente bien que son tratados en los países de mayoría musulmana. Irak fue destacado como un país donde no existen problemas en las relaciones entre musulmanes y cristianos. Al parecer, sin embargo, la política de apaciguamiento no funciona. Un destacado cardenal de EE.UU., nada menos que el presidente de la Conferencia de Obispos Católicos, sugirió que la violencia es culpa de los Estados Unidos, o al menos así es como el liberal National Catholic Reporter lo cuenta: Tras congratular la retirada de EE.UU., el cardenal dijo que: "El gobierno de EE.UU. - que invadió Irak y luego retiró todas las fuerzas combatientes - tiene la obligación moral de no abandonar a los iraquíes que no pueden defenderse". No es claro, sin embargo, que Estados Unidos pueda hacer eso, ya que Irak es un país soberano y el cardenal ha elogiado el hecho de que las tropas norteamericanas, se supone que, ya no entrarán en combate. El patriarca Católica Sirio Ignacio José III Younan (la iglesia atacada es sirio católica) tomó una posición más dura, instando al gobierno iraquí a que proteja las iglesias y agregó: "Los cristianos son asesinados en Irak, en sus casas e iglesias, y el llamado ´mundo libre´ observa con total indiferencia, interesado en responder solamente de una manera políticamente correcta y económicamente oportuna, pero en realidad es hipócrita". Sin embargo no explicó exactamente lo que esto significaba, tal vez porque él vive actualmente en Siria. En cuanto al ataque en Bagdad, los terroristas de Al Qaeda dijeron que todos los cristianos de Irak serían "exterminados" si dos "mujeres musulmanas" no eran liberadas en Egipto. Al parecer, se trataba de dos jóvenes casadas con sacerdotes cristianos coptos, candidatas poco probables para una conversión al Islam. En realidad, ellas fueron secuestradas, "convertidas" por la fuerza al Islam y luego lograron escapar, o fueron rescatadas por sus familias. Por lo tanto, la agresión contra los cristianos se convirtió en una justificación para perseguirlos, un patrón que hemos visto muy a menudo usado en otras partes por los islamistas. Sin embargo, muchos de los ataques en estos países no son realizados por grupos islamistas revolucionarios, sino simplemente por la gente común, a veces en grandes grupos. Según la declaración de los terroristas iraquíes, la iglesia era un "lugar sucio que los infieles cristianos iraquíes han usado durante mucho tiempo como una base para luchar contra el Islam". En forma creciente, los islamistas están dejando en claro que cualquier presencia de cristianos en los países de mayoría musulmana es inaceptable, de la misma manera que la existencia de un Estado judío en el Medio Oriente es inaceptable. No puedo entender cómo este hecho y estos ataques pasan a menudo desapercibidos, y desde luego sin protesta. ¿No es hora que los cristianos traten de ayudar a sus hermanos perseguidos antes de que sean eliminados totalmente – o, en el mejor caso, obligados a huir -? PD: Estoy tentado a escribir un artículo titulado "¿Por qué las feministas callan la persecución que sufre la mujer en las sociedades de mayoría musulmana?.

Profanação e vandalismo contra igreja católica

Enquanto os sacerdotes católicos continuam a não vislumbrar qualquer relação entre actos de vandalismo e profanação contra igrejas e a doutrina islâmica, os clérigos muçulmanos vão continuando o seu jogo duplo: enquanto dentro das mesquitas e madrassas lêem o Alcorão (cheio de referências depreciativas e de incitamento ao ódio contra cristãos e judeus, já para não falar dos politeístas e dos ateus) e ensinam os muçulmanos a imitar o profeta Mafoma (o qual, entre outros mimos, jurou expulsar os judeus e os cristãos da Península Arábica), para fora da comunidade lançam apelos de paz e de respeito pelas "religiões do livro".
Enquanto os não-muçulmanos não estudarem a doutrina muçulmana, o islão terá vantagem, podendo continuar com a taqiyya e dizendo que estes actos nada têm a ver com a sua doutrina, uma flagrante falsidade.

Comme nous le relations hier, des actes de vandalisme à l’encontre de l’église Saint-Jean et des menaces proférées envers les fidèles ont été dénoncées mercredi par le curé de la paroisse, le père Gabriel. Celui-ci sera reçu en mairie ce lundi à 8 h 30 avec au programme la constitution d’un groupe de travail autour de la sécurité du lieu. Concernant le signalement des faits, il semblerait qu’aucun courrier n’ait été transmis de la paroisse à la Ville. De plus, la plainte déposée par le père Gabriel au commissariat, où l’on a considéré qu’il s’agissait d’incivilité, n’aurait pas été transmise non plus aux élus concernés. Un faisceau de manquement qui amène la réaction de Monseigneur Cattenoz, archevêque du diocèse d’Avignon. Réaction que nous avons sollicitée. Interview.

-Les actes répertoriés sont-ils pour vous de l’incivilité ou de la profanation?

« Je constate qu’il y a eu, il y a quelques années, un incendie à l’Eglise Jean XXIII sur la rocade, une tentative d’incendie à l’église Saint-Jean et depuis deux ou trois ans des vols répétés de vases sacrés dans nos églises. J’ai demandé la création, comme à Marseille, d’un regroupement des chefs religieux pour apporter une parole unie d’apaisement. Et devant ce qu’il s’est passé à Saint-Jean, je vais inviter les chefs religieux juifs et musulmans à nous rencontrer dès le début du mois de décembre pour nous entendre ».

- Mais vous ne répondez pas à la question. Ces agissements sont-ils pour vous la démonstration d’une tension interreligions?

« Sur le plan de la sécurité autour de nos églises, j’avoue que je suis un peu inquiet. Je pense qu’il faut distinguer des petits voyous qui font les idiots dans les églises et de véritables actes de malveillance. Je suis heureux de lire (ndlr dans la Provence) que Mohamed Moussaoui, président du Conseil français du culte musulman (CFCM), condamne fermement ces agissements et demande que les gens qui ont fait ça soit sanctionnés. Le racisme est inadmissible, quelque soit la religion, nous devons être, les uns et les autres, des artisans de paix. Il ne s’agit pas de crier aux tensions mais il me parait intolérable qu’on tague une église, comme une mosquée ou une synagogue. Mais je constate que lorsqu’on tague une mosquée, le président de la République se déplace… Ici je trouve qu’on réagit… mollement »

- Avez-vous le sentiment qu’à Avignon ou en Vaucluse il existe des tensions entre communautés chrétiennes et musulmanes?

« Lorsqu’il y en a, comme à Orange où durant le ramadan les soeurs Carmélites étaient importunées, j’ai alerté le représentant du culte musulman qui est intervenu et cela a cessé immédiatement. C’est pour cela que je prône une réunion régulièrement à l’échelle du département, des chefs religieux. Car si nous n’y prêtons pas garde dès maintenant, nous pourrions avoir des phénomènes durs, très rapidement ». Read more at extremecentre.org

Papa pede liberdade religiosa para os cristãos nos países muçulmanos

Leia a notícia da Reuters e os comentários de Marisol que a seguem:

"Pope calls for religious freedom in Muslim states," by Phillip Pullella for Reuters, November 11:

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict Thursday said all states must guarantee the freedom for everyone to practice their faith publicly, a clear criticism of some Muslim countries where religious rights are restricted. The pope issued the call in a document of nearly 200 pages called an "apostolic exhortation," in which he offered his reflections on a synod of bishops that met in the Vatican in 2008 on the theme the "Word of God." He said the Catholic Church respected all religions and a separate section of the document was dedicated to relations with Muslims. "All the same, dialogue would not prove fruitful unless it included authentic respect for each person and the ability of all freely to practice their religion," he said. "Respect and dialogue require reciprocity in all spheres," he said, adding that this had to include the right to profess religion "privately and publicly and (for) freedom of conscience to be effectively guaranteed to all believers." "Reciprocity" is the term the Roman Catholic Church uses in demanding full rights for Christians in Islamic states where laws prohibit them from practicing their faith openly. It has often asked for reciprocity with Saudi Arabia. At least 3.5 million Christians of all denominations live in the Gulf Arab region, the birthplace of Islam and home to some of the most conservative Arab Muslim societies in the world. The freedom to practice Christianity, or any religion other than Islam, is not always permitted in the Gulf and varies from country to country. Saudi Arabia, which observes an austere form of Sunni Islam, has the tightest restrictions. The Vatican says Christians in predominantly Muslim countries should be allowed to practice their faith openly, just as Muslims can in predominantly Christian countries in Europe. In Saudi Arabia, home to Islam's holiest sites, any form of non-Muslim worship takes place in private. Converting Muslims is punishable by death, although such sentences are rare.

Services and prayer meetings are often held in diplomats' homes but access is limited, so Christians meet to worship in hotel conference rooms, at great risk. The Vatican has expressed concern about the fate of Christians in predominantly Muslim Iraq, where 52 hostages and police were killed Sunday when security forces stormed a church that had been raided by al-Qaeda-linked gunmen. In the document, the pope re-stated Vatican opposition to the use of violence in the name of religion.

Posted by Marisol on November 11, 2010 11:11 AM

Makes sense, right? What could possibly stand in the way of that? Just Islamic law, whose very purpose is to establish Islam's dominance, and the subjugation of other religions under it. That imperative follows the commands of Qur'an 9:29, which provides unbelievers the options of conversion, subjugation, or war -- not reciprocal respect and dignity. Indeed, the entire purpose of jihad in all its forms is to impose the rule of Sharia, and this unjust social order that is enshrined in it.

Saudi Arabia is given particular attention in this story. Ultimately, the Saudis are only carrying out Muhammad's intentions according to authoritative (sahih, or "solid," "reliable") Islamic texts:

"I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim." - Sahih Muslim 19.4366.

Indeed, we are repeatedly told Islam in its "true" form is tolerant, but Islam is tolerant on Islam's own terms, and by its own definition of the proper extent of religious tolerance. The inherent instability and frequently violent conditions for non-Muslims in Muslim countries are direct consequences of Islam's utter rejection of the notion of reciprocity and equality between believers and non-believers.

It will be interesting to see what response Pope Benedict's comments elicit from Muslim leaders, beyond the usual generalities about "tolerance," "respect," and "justice," made with the hope that non-Muslim listeners will project their own cultural understanding onto those terms.Read more at www.jihadwatch.org

A string of anti-Christian bombings has cost six more lives in the wake of the Baghdad church bloodbath, sowing panic in Iraq's 2,000-year-old minority on Wednesday, many of whom now want to flee. "Since Tuesday evening, there have been 13 bombs and two mortar attacks on homes and shops of Christians in which a total of six people were killed and 33 injured," a defence ministry official said. "A church was also damaged." An interior ministry official earlier gave a casualty toll of three dead in 12 of the attacks across the Iraqi capital early on Wednesday. The attacks come less than two weeks after 44 Christian worshippers, two priests and seven security personnel died in the seizure of a Baghdad cathedral by Islamist gunmen and the ensuing shootout when it was stormed by troops. On November 3, Al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for the cathedral hostage-taking and warned it would step up attacks on Christians. As Christian converged on their churches on Wednesday to seek counsel from their religious leaders, a Syriac Catholic archbishop made an emotional appeal for Western countries to come to their rescue. "It would be criminal on the part of the international community not to take care of the security of the Christians," Athanase Matti Shaba Matoka said inside the church targeted on October 31 where he tried to console his flock. "Everybody is scared," he said. "People are asking who is going to protect them, how are they going to stay on in Iraq. We are trying to encourage them to stay patient." The scarred church in the central district of Karrada became a focus of the fears of Christian families. "For the past two years now my wife has been trying to persuade me to leave the country, but I didn't agree," said 42-year-old labourer Raed Wissam from the Dora district of southern Baghdad. "Today, I feel sure she's right because I don't want to feel guilty if something bad happens to one of my children." Wissam said he was woken up at 6:00 am (0300 GMT) by an explosion. "I ran up to the roof to see what was going on and I heard three more blasts, with three Christian homes targeted. My two children wept." Emmanuel Karim, a 27-year-old IT worker, was about to go to work from his home in Camp Sara, central Baghdad, when a bomb exploded. The apparent target was the car of his uncle, who was among those killed on October 31. "Fifteen minutes later, a second bomb exploded, killing a neighbour who was trying to put out the fire in the car ... He was a Muslim. He was my friend," said Karim, fighting back the tears. He said devotees were gathering at churches to try to join the Christian exodus which has been picking up pace since the US-led invasion of 2003 of now violence-plagued Iraq, where their community's roots date back two millennia. Monsignor Pius Kasha, also of the church in the hostage-taking at the end of last month, said a four-month-old baby was among three people wounded in bombings of Christian homes in Baghdad's Mansur district late on Tuesday. "We don't know what is the aim of these criminals but what is certain is that this will push even more Christians to emigrate ... Where is the security the government is supposed to provide to all citizens, Christians and Muslims?" A senior Iraqi clergyman based in London said at the weekend that Christians should quit Iraq or face being killed at the hands of Al-Qaeda. "The countries that have welcomed the victims ... of this attack (on the church) have done a noble thing, but that should not encourage emigration," the premier said. An estimated 800,000 Christians lived in Iraq before the 2003 invasion but that number has since shrunk to around 500,000 in the face of repeated attacks against their community and churches. Christians in Baghdad have now dwindled to around 150,000, a third of their former population in the capital.

When will we start hearing more about the Muslim massacres of Christians in Iraq (as well as in Pakistan, etc.)? We’ve heard far, far more about the so-called ‘genocide’ of Turkish Islamists during the flotilla event. But they were Muslim deaths. The deaths of the Brown Exotic platonic Oppressed. Worse that that. Much worse than that. They were killed by Jews… sorry, by Israelis! And ‘international crimes’ are always far worse when they are committed by the Jews… sorry, by the Zionists. Less than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israelis in the last ten years. Yet Hamas, and their Leftist enablers in the West, call it a ‘genocide ’ and sometimes even a ‘holocaust’! I’ll tell you about a genocide that we hear much less about. That is the Muslim genocide of southern Sudanese Christians and animists. Again, Hamas and co. have managed to control and manipulate not only what gullible Western journalists report, but the actual words they use (e.g., Israeli ‘crimes’, Jewish ‘apartheid’, Palestinian ‘genocide’, the Gaza ‘concentration camp’, etc.) All masterful words of hyperbole and utter shit. Iraqi Christians have been in Iraq for around two thousand years. Some of the Palestinians in Palestine, when the Jews declared the state of Israel, had only been there for as little a two years. Many others were from Syria, Jordan and other Arab countries. The Israeli army only used firearms and even paintball guns on the Islamist flotilla. In four days alone, Christian homes and shops have experienced 13 bombs and two mortar attacks. Can you imagine the uproar if the Israeli soldiers had used bombs and mortar fire against the Islamist flotilla? Councillor Salma Yaqoob would have drowned in her own crocodile tears and Yvonne Ridley would have become a suicide bomber. To say it again. More Iraqi Christians have been murdered by Iraqi Muslims in the last four days than were killed on the Islamist flotilla. Yet, again, masses of people, even Christians, have absolutely no idea what’s going on in Iraq – primarily because UK Christian leaders are frightened of ‘offending’ Muslims with the brutal truth! Oh, I forgot. Only two weeks ago, 44 Christian worshippers, two priests and seven security personnel were murdered by Muslims after they seized a Christian cathedral in Baghdad. That’s four times more than the Turks who died on the Islamist flotilla! Al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for the cathedral genocide. That’s the same Al-Qaeda which is loved by two of our very own Islamist groups – Muslims Against Crusaders and Islam4UK. That is, they support the killing of Christian civilians almost as much as they support the killing of Israeli citizens. So I hope that everyone has listened to the words of the Syriac Catholic archbishop of Baghdad. He wants Western countries ‘to come to their rescue’. I doubt it. Those that are being killed aren’t Palestinians. And we all know that Palestinian lives are far more important than Iraqi Christian lives, as well as Sudanese Christian lives, Pakistani Christian lives, etc. What Iraqi Muslims want, and what many other Muslims want, is for Iraq to be Christian-free, just as they want ‘Palestine’ to be Judenrein. Iraqi Muslims have almost reached that target; but they will need to keep up the jihad! That is, before 2003 there were 800,000 Christians in Iraq. Now there are less than 500,000. That’s quite a successful jihad, isn’t it? Who’s next? Read more at theenglishdefenceleagueextra.blogspot.com

Imã de Nazaré é indiciado por incitar a violência contra o Papa Bento XVI e por apoio a "Jihad global"

Notícias sobre a jihad global e em português, graças aos préstimos dos nossos irmãos brasileiros:

Amplify’d from olhonajihad.blogspot.com

Segundo a imformação do The Jerusalem Post o Imã de Nazaré foi indiciado nesse domingo, por apoiar organizações terroristas, mas precisamente a al-Qaeda e por incitar a violência contra o Papa Bento XVI.

Nazim Salim Mahmoud, foi preso pelo Shin Bet (Agência de Segurança Israelense), depois que um dos assassinos do tezista Judeu Yafim Weinstein, ter confessado que os sermões de Nazim serviu de inspiração para a sua Jihad.

A acusação afirma que Salim deu sermões distribuiu e panfletos aos fiéis em sua mesquita encitando-os a atentar contra o Estado. Ele foi acusado de chamar seus seguidores a agir com violência em várias ocasiões. Além disso, a acusação afirma que ele criou um site para apoiar a jihad global.

Além da Shihab-Din uma mesquita em Nazaré, Salim também pregou em várias outras mesquitas, incluindo a Mesquita al-Asqa em Jerusalém, a terceira mais sagrada do Islã.

Salim já tinha chamado à jihad contra soldados israelenses, o papa, e todos os alvos que segundo ele "causam danos ao Islã". O imã foi citado como tendo dito que "os judeus são Satanás," e " Osama bin Laden é amado por Deus ", segundo a Rádio do Exército.

O Estado solicitou que a prisão de Salim seja prorrogada até o fim do processo contra ele.

Quando o Papa Bento XVI visitou à Terra Santa em Maio de 2009, Salim preferiu um sermão em al-Aqsa dizendo: "O Papa deixa os portões do Vaticano à frente de uma cruzada contra o mundo islâmico ... vamos expulsar o papa da Nazaré ..."

A prisão de Salim veio poucos meses depois da condenação do líder do braço norte do Movimento Islâmico o xeque Raed Salah, que foi condenado a cinco meses de prisão por atacar um oficial da polícia de Jerusalém.

Condenado à morte por se ter convertido ao cristianismo

No Irão:

Alcorão 16:106

Shakir

«He who disbelieves in Allah after his having believed, not he who is compelled while his heart is at rest on account of faith, but he who opens (his) breast to disbelief-- on these is the wrath of Allah, and they shall have a grievous chastisement.»

Português (El-Hayek)

«Aquele que renegar Deus, depois de ter crido - salvo quem houver sido obrigado a isso e cujo coração se mantenhafirme na fé - e aquele que abre seu coração à incredulidade, esses serão abominados por Deus e sofrerão um severo castigo.»

Alcorão 3:85

Pickthall
And whoso seeketh as religion other than the Surrender (to Allah) it will not be accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the Hereafter.

Português (El-Hayek)
«E quem quer que almeje (impingir) outra religião, que não seja o Islão, (aquela) jamais será aceita e, no outro mundo,essa pessoa contar-se-á entre os desventurados.»

Hadith sahih al-Bukhari (84:57)

«[In the words of] Allah's Apostle, 'Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.'»

Según Persecution.org, la ejecución de un ex-musulmán convertido al cristianismo y condenado a muerte por esa razón, se ha aplazado. Youcef Nadarkhani fue detenido el 13 de octubre de 2009 tras oponerse a la práctica de obligar a los estudiantes cristianos de la escuela, también a sus propios hijos, a leer el Corán. Fue sentenciado a muerte el 24 de octubre.

Se cree que Nadarkhani está encarcelado en la prisión de seguridad de Lakan, Irán, donde ha sido presionado en el último año a retractarse de su fe y volver al islam.

“Actualmente se encuentra bajo pena de muerte, pero están retrasando la sentencia con el fin de presionarle para que renuncie a Cristo”, informa DeMars, que pertenece al mismo grupo religioso (“la verdad actual”) que ha seguido de cerca el caso de Nadarkhani. “Una vez que el veredicto por escrito se entrega, habrá 20 días para apelar a la Corte Suprema”, agrega DeMars en la página web de su ministerio.

Según informa Infocatolica, su caso ha sido mencionado por la Oficina de las Naciones Unidas del Alto Comisionado para los Derechos Humanos (ACNUDH) y otros organismos que vigilan la persecución a cristianos en países islámicos, como Release Internacional y la Voz de los Mártires. Según este último, si la pena de muerte finalmente se ejecuta, la suya sería la primera ejecución judicial de un cristiano en Irán en dos décadas. Nadarkhani es padre de dos niños pequeños.
