Egyptian Elections: Islamophobes Will Be Unable to Explain this Picture

Posted on 24 May 2012 by Garibaldi

Of course anti-Islam bigots like “John C. Drew, Ph.D” will be unable to explain the picture below. According to them, Muslims are all persecuting Christians in Egypt, who are supposedly in the same position as Jews on the eve of the Kristalnacht (h/t: Amir):

The picture is taken from the Facebook group, The Official Page for the Coalition of Coptic Egyptians.

They wrote this as a caption for the picture:
دى بقى من أجمل صور المصراوية فى الإنتخابات الرئاسية لمصوّر جريدة الأهرام “بسّام الزغبى” .. سأختارها حتما ضمن أفضل صور العام.
انشرها وعرف غيرك اننا هنفضل مسلم ومسيحى مش كلام لكن حقيقة

Translation: “One of the most beautiful photos of Egyptians during the presidential elections from photographer for Al-Ahram newspaper, “Bustaam Al-Zoghbi.” We choose it amongst the best pictures of the year. Spread it. And let others besides yourself know that verily we remain Muslims and Christians, not just “talk” but “reality.”

But who wants to hear the voice of Copts themselves, when “John C. Drew, PhD” can speak for them?

    Stop lying Abdul! Muslim Brotherhood is not a threat to Egypt and if you really knew these coptic Christians, you would know that! LIAR!

  • InPeace

    whereas there are those like John C. Drew who can’t countenance that fact even when the likes of an Egyptian Coptic group says as much!

    Why? Did John C. Drew claim an entire nation was racist as David recently has of France?

    Funny when the loons aren’t even the least bit consistent.
    (if you were, you wouldn’t be loons)

    Abdul, what is your point about the Muslim Brotherhood? Do you think the woman above, in hijab is part of the Muslim Brotherhood?

    Of course good relations between Christians and Muslims exist, that’s the point of this, whereas there are those like John C. Drew who can’t countenance that fact even when the likes of an Egyptian Coptic group says as much!

  • Abdul

    I know many Coptic Christians and they are to a man, all scared of the Muslim Brotherhood. Trying to pretend that this isn’t so by a few photographs of good relations between muslims and christians (which of course exist) is rather sad and shows you as not remotely awake to the reality (or do not wish to be).

  • khushboo

    Exactly Sir D! There is discrimination there just like there’s discrimination everywhere else but it’s always exaggerated tenfold by some evangelicals. I know of people who actually lived there and have laughed at their accusations. Some of them are missionaries trying to convert Muslims by crying “persecution of Christians” instead of being more positive about their own religion. It has and will backfire!

    Ho ho What wit . Well I am half right anyway.
    “So because John C. Drew lived in Egypt his stories are not silly but factual.”
    John C Drew said he visited egypt not lived there and he seemed to think that gave him the basis, bizarrely to speak as an expert on that country.
    He like yourself seems to think that knowing a little and shouting is better than knowing a lot and realising there is so much more to learn

    @InPeace,

    Even if John C Drew did live in Egypt at one point, it doesn’t prove that his view is correct. Its possible to be a minority and be bigoted against the majority. Here’s one such example, there are blacks living in the United States who are anti white racists.

    In fact one the political ideologies the Southern Poverty Law is worried about is Black Separatism
    http://splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/ideology/black-separatist

    Tell me, how do you think an American black separatist would describe the typical white American if you were to ask him? Do you think you’d get a accurate picture of what most white Americans are like based on what his description would be?

    Granted Islam is not a race, but the analogy is still valid.

  • khushboo

    InPeace, what makes you think John Drew lived in Egypt??

  • InPeace

    Do you live in France ?
    I do .
    The stories are not silly but factual.

    Wow David. That’s a brilliant argument. So because John C. Drew lived in Egypt his stories are not silly but factual.

    Thank you for agreeing with him, joker.

    “However, the society is far more tolerant than people like Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller make it out to be, in addition to people like John C Drew.”

    I am sure it is, it would be a very strange society indeed if everybody from one particular group all thought with one mind, there wouldn’t be any need for elections if that was the case.

    I do .
    The stories are not silly but factual.
    Do you get paid for writing such lies on the internet ?

  • Haddock

    That’s right! Anything that makes Muslims look human, is “taqiyya.”

    You’re Welcome!

  • http://www.loonwatch.com Garibaldi

    Thank you Critical, you explained that very well. I would like to add that I love seeing positive stories, they are my favorite.

    Stories of co-operation, peace building, solidarity, etc. all are vital. So photos of French people from all backgrounds coming together and celebrating is lovely too.

    I know what you’re trying to do. But it doesn’t work that way. This story is in no way meant to prove that there is no bigotry against Christians in Egypt, but this does prove that it is far less of an epidemic than people make it out to be. We’re not saying that no Egyptian Muslims are intolerant. Off course some are intolerant. However, the society is far more tolerant than people like Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller make it out to be, in addition to people like John C Drew.

    Did you read that story I linked to in my previous comment about the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood endorsing a Coptic Christian candidate regardless of the fact that they knew he wasn’t a Muslim? Christians in Egypt certainly have it far better than Jews just prior to Kristalnacht as Garibaldi put it. If they’re openly running their own political organizations, they hardly fear for their lives if they proclaim their faith openly, not to mention if the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood has recently supported one of them, it doesn’t sound like its intent on forcing them all to convert, submit to Muslim rule or die.

    They could say that the Muslim woman was about to use the stool to hit them! LOL I wouldn’t be surprised.

    Sure is a nice photo – not a photo fox news or other such media would promote.

  • khushboo

    shhh…christian friend, don’t give them any ideas. :/

    @Garibaldi

    You know out of a sort of morbid curiosity, I went back on those stupid Islamophobic blogs that I used to frequent, to see if anyone them would try to explain this away, and as far as I could see none of them even mentioned this. I can see why, it goes against everything they claim is going on over there. Obviously Egypt doesn’t treat its Christian or Jewish minorities anywhere nearly as bad as they claim they do.

    I also remember this story from awhile back, Its old, but still very important, and it also debunks anti Muslim bigots.

    Don’t worry; Islamophobes shall find a way. I bet they’ll say the nuns are either harassed in this photo or they are secretly Muslim women
