Syrian Church Destroyed, Christians Killed and Abducted

As the Obama-supported proxy war on freedom and Christianity in Egypt rages on, it's easy to forget that the same atrocities are being commited all around the world — and also with Obama's support. While dozens of churches in Egypt have been destroyed by the Muslim Brotherhood, so too have they been, and continue to be, destroyed in nearby Syria, where U.S. supported Islamic jihadis have been terrorizing Christians, including by beheading them and destroying their churches.

Recently in the middle of the night, a jihadi group largely consisting of foreigners and calling itself the "Lions of the Islamic Brigade" invaded the Christian village of al-Diwayr and began bombarding the Church of Isaiah the Zealous (pictured above), as well as Christian homes, leading to the killing of four, including women and children, the wounding of 20, and the abduction of four.

Egypt: Head Sufi Condemns Obama's Commitment to Brotherhood and 'Terrorism'

The Sufi orders of Egypt — representatives of a moderate form of Islam — are the latest segments of Egypt to condemn Barrack Hussein Obama's flagrant support for the Muslim Brotherhood despite the will of the Egyptian people to be rid of their oppressive rule. Dr. Abdel Hadi al-Qasi, the top leader of Egypt's Sufi orders, just delivered a message addressed to the U.S. president.

After correctly indicating that he was speaking on behalf of "millions of Sufis in Egypt," al-Qasi said, "President Obama, it seems that the U.S. administration, at this current time, instead of choosing to support love, peace, security, and constructive purpose, has chosen to support violence, destruction, vandalism, chaos, and terrorism," a reference to American (including media) support for the Muslim Brotherhood, which is currently terrorizing Egypt and, as of last count, had destroyed some 80 Christian places of worship.

Indeed, it was under Brotherhood President Morsi that Sufi leader Abdel Hadi al-Qasi's Shia counterpart, Sheikh Hassan al-Shehata, was ruthlessly slaughtered (see graphic video) — supposedly in accordance with Morsi's call to assassinate the Shia leader.

Sheikh al-Qasi concluded his message by saying, "Mr President Obama, I call on you to uphold the values of honesty, justice, and respect for the people's will. Peace."

Good luck with that.

Brotherhood 'Smiles to World' and 'Prepares' with Sword

In many ways, the above picture of a known pro-Brotherhood protester, Walid al-Khatab, is representative of the two faces of the organization. As reported by Al Dalil, he earlier called into a live show calling for the "slaughter" of every police officer in Egypt, to background cries of "Allahu Akbar!" and then later apologized, saying he was just "angry" and "didn't really mean it." Here he is, however, holding the famous yellow smiley face, with the words "Smile to the world, and it will smile back at you."

In the upper corner the sign also displays the Brotherhood's banner, two swords crossed over the Koran, with the word "prepare" underneath — a reference to Koran 8:60: “And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrorize the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know [but] whom Allah knows. And whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.”

In other words, smile to the world so that it smiles back, but prepare with the sword so "you may terrorize the enemy of Allah and your enemy" — a perfect summation of the Muslim Brotherhood and "Sharia's Sinister Smiles."
