“The narrator goes on to say that Christians were no longer ‘Dhimmis’ – a term used in Islam in reference to non-Muslims who enjoy a degree of state protection. Instead, the group describes Egyptian Christians as ‘infidels who are empowering the West against Muslim nations.'”
This is Islamic law: Christians and other “People of the Book” may enjoy the “protection” of the Islamic state if they submit, pay the jizya, and accept other humiliating and discriminatory regulations designed to ensure that they “feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29). But if they violate this contract of “protection,” they are kuffar harbi, infidels at war with Islam, and their lives are forfeit.
And did Allah give orders to kill every infidel? Variations on the statement “kill them wherever you find them” appear at Qur’an 2:191, 4:89 and 9:5.
“‘God gave orders to kill every infidel’ ISIS vows to massacre Christians in chilling video,” by Sofia Petkar, Express, February 21, 2017:
ISLAMIC State militants in Egypt have threatened to increase attacks against Christians in the country, vowing to “liberate” Cairo, in a chilling new video….
In the 20-minute clip, the group singles out prominent Christian Egyptians, identifying the Coptic Pope and a number of wealthy businessmen as the group’s “favourite prey”.
The footage features a masked jihadi, identified as Abu Abdallah al-Masri, who promises to see the release of imprisoned Islamists when the group takes control of the capital.
Al-Masri — which means “The Egyptian” — was the nom de guerre that ISIS gave the militant behind the suicide bombing at St. Mark’s Cathedral….
In the video, the militant is seen clutching an assault rifle while standing in a wheat field.
He says: “Finally, to my brothers in captivity: rejoice, you believers, do not falter or grieve. I swear to God we will very soon liberate Cairo and free you from captivity.
“We will come bearing explosives, I swear we will, so rejoice you believers.”
The narrator goes on to say that Christians were no longer “Dhimmis” – a term used in Islam in reference to non-Muslims who enjoy a degree of state protection.
Instead, the group describes Egyptian Christians as “infidels who are empowering the West against Muslim nations”.
One of the militants, carrying an AK-47 assault rifle, says in the video: “God gave orders to kill every infidel.
“Oh worshippers of the cross, the soldiers of the state are watching you,” says another masked militant – identified as Abu Zubair al-Masri.
The video also contains the group’s new logo – “Islamic State in Egypt” — as opposed to “Sinai Province,” the original name for the ISIS presence in the country.
