‘It Never Occurred to Us that Muslim Neighbors Would Betray Us…’

A post by Robert Spencer bringing us up-to-date on the latest evidence of the true nature of Islam. In Syria, (remember Syria? It was in the news a lot before the Budget Shutdown.)

It’s amazing to me that even people with a interest in history, especially classical history (Greeks, Christianized Romans and other ancient peoples) never ask themselves what happened to those peoples and those nations. The answer is that they were destroyed, destroyed by a fanatical death cult, many were forced to convert at swords point, many forced to accept a form of slavery to continue to live and practice their religion, and many were killed.

Did you know that many villages and even small towns, mostly populated by Christians continued to exist within the nations controlled by Islam into the 21st Century?  The Coptic Christians in Egypt have been (barely) mentioned in the news lately. Mostly in regard to a new wave of murder, burning and oppression by Muslims.  Robert Spencers article is about the most recent incident but reads very much like the stories of pogrom and genocide from Armenian, Lebanon, Bosnia at any time in the last eight hundred years.

An anecdote from the Ottoman Empire in the late nineteenth century:

Then one night, my husband came home and told me that the padisha had sent word that we were to kill all the Christians in our village, and that we would have to kill our neighbours. I was very angry, and told him that I did not care who gave such orders, they were wrong. These neighbours had always been kind to us, and if he dared to kill them Allah would pay us out. I tried all I could to stop him, but he killed them — killed them with his own hand. (Sir Edwin Pears, Turkey and Its People, London: Methuen and Co., 1911, p. 39)

To speak about instances when Muslims betrayed their non-Muslim friends and neighbors in today’s environment is to commit the cardinal sin of “Islamophobia,”…

What’s the word for Islamo-hatred, Knowledge. What’s the punishment, Freedom.

Title of this post comes from an old Mid-eastern proverb, if you don’t know it, ask in the comments.
