Abu Islam tore and burned the Holy Bible in front of thousands of Muslims.

Muslim cleric Abu Islam Burns the Holy Bible in front of thousands of Muslims at protest outside the US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, on Tuesday, 9/11. His action was met with applause and anti-Christian cheers from the demonstrators.

According to Mary Abdelmassih in a story carried by the Assyrian International News Agency (www.aina.org), the cleric, before leaving the demonstration and getting into his car, told the crowds “next time I will urinate on it.”

The video — http://vladtepesblog.com/?p=52886 — shows the Muslim cleric tearing the Bible and says:

* 0.02 “the overwhelming Book, the Book of Truth and Peace. The place for these words and this book is over the heads because it is the real inspiration… (He places the Koran on his head) voices chanting Allahu Akbar.

* 0.30 He Says: message to the Egyptian Christians. Out of respect and politeness to the Egyptian Christians we will not do the same like what they did to our God’s book, we will be generous towards you today and say we will respect you “momentarily.” We will respect this book which is in the Arabic language.

* 0:54 Demonstrators’ chants “Coming, Coming O Islam”

* 1.09 Abu Islam holds another Bible and says: This is the book the dog Terry believes in, as well as those dogs with him the Egyptian Christians in America.

* 1.19 Abu Islam: Today I can only TEAR IT APART. He starts tearing the bible and throwing the leaves towards the mob, amid chants of Allahu Akbar and “Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews, the army of Mohammad is coming.”

* 2.06 Abu Islam saying: to all the cross worshippers around the world we will not keep quiet . Today, we tore it.

* 2.13 a man in blue beside him burns the bible raising it for everyone to see.

* Abu Islam: Salamu Aleycom (Peace be with you) and leaves, with mob chanting “Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews, the army of Mohammad is coming.” “Governing, governing, O Koran.” “Coming, Coming O Islam.”

Abdelmassih went on to report that Dr. Mustafa Maraghy, professor of law and Islamic law at Cairo University, filed a complaint with the Attorney General against the cleric, whose real name is Ahmed Abdullah. The complaint cited Abdullah, who is the owner of the TV channel the Islamic Nation, for contempt of religion, disturbing public security and peace.

Dr Maraghy, who is the chairman of the Coptic Coalition, said that tearing and burning the Holy Bible, which all Christians in the world believe in, is a “villainous and barbaric act.” He added that it is not permitted at all to defame religions. “The same hurt feelings we felt by the film which insulted the prophet is the same that we felt by this criminal act,” he said.

He vowed that the Coptic Coalition will not ignore such “ignorant people” but will prosecute them. The Maspero Coptic Youth Union has called on President Morsy to intervene immediately to put an end to any efforts which would kindle the fire of sedition between Muslims and Copts.

Another complaint was also filed this morning against Abu Islam by Karam Gabriel, lawyer with the Copts of Egypt Coalition, for his recent burning of the Holy Bible as well as his previous insults to Christianity through his books and through his Islamic Nation TV Channel.

Abdelmassih then stated that the Coalition, which has among its members Muslims and Copts, has issued an official statement condemning the film insulting the Prophet of Islam. Magdy Saber, spokesman for the Union, condemned Abu Islam’s tearing and burning of the Bible in front of the Copts who were present before the US Embassy, where they had gone in support of their Muslim brothers regarding to prophet’s film.

Saber demanded from officials to take the necessary measures to prevent sedition among the Egyptians. “If we condemn the film-makers of the prophet film who live outside Egypt,” he said, “we should also condemn this disgraceful act in Egypt, stressing the need to punish Abu Islam for his irresponsible actions.”

In an interview today with The Mohit newspaper, Abu Islam denied burning the Bible, saying, “I tore it apart and threw it to the demonstrators to step on it with their shoes.” He added, “Next time I will make my grandson urinate on it, as the saying goes, an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth and the starter is at fault.”

Commenting on the fact that the film producers do not represent all Copts and the masses of the American people and therefore their holy book should not be insulted in response, Abu Islam said “if someone one did something, everyone bears the guilt and bears the outcome. Did not all Muslims bear the pain of what Osama bin Laden did? Did not all Muslims bear the pain of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman being described as a terrorist? Let them taste from the cup the Islamic world had to drink.”

Coptic activist Mark Ebeid said, “Until now we have not heard any condemnation from any Muslim organization or Al-Azhar, as our church did concerning the Prophet film. We have hope that the Church will say something about our Holy Book.”

[size=14pt]So what! He tore a Bible
It's just a book,we will print billions more.
[/size]
He is only making a fool of himself.
[size=14pt]I wonder if this guys really have a brain that thinks at all.[/size]

Does he think we Christians will hate him for it.

[size=14pt]Father, forgive him, he is ignorant to know what he did (Luke 23:24 paraphrased)
[/size]

[size=15pt]Abu Islam you burned the bible and so what[/size],you probably just looking for attention,you such a joke.

absolutely.

Who cares.

It's just to highlight that Christians will never resort to violence despite these endless provocations.

The Imam has just proved himself to be an immature bigot with thousands of followers who think like him.




For his information burning or tearing the Bible does not hurt any one or his beliefs. If what he did is really an insult to God, then we Christians leave God to judge him accordingly.




I know that many Christian pastors are not perfect, but I know for sure that they are relatively more mature than this Imam.

Lol. He tore the bible thinking we'll act like savage humans with no direction. He's a joker.
No christian will act on this.

The religion of peace who cares

let him burn 50 more

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass

if anyone would leave christianity, its better for such one to become an atheist than become a muslim. Islam was founded on evil and i pray God'll never allow any generation of mine belong to such blood sucking group.

No but its only a few extremists who give Islam a bad image.

proo212: No but its only a few extremists who give Islam a bad image.

@Toba:

and those few extremists got their extremism from the quran, especially from the life and times of the prophet. not so? lipsrsealed

You may have to explain the bold here or i shall remind you in front of the crew in the muslim section. I will like you to tell us the extremism in Quran and especially from the life and time of the noble messenger [sa]. Your ideas remind me of those who will argue that crusade, spanish inquisition, the pogrom and others and the actions of 3rd reich is from christianity. did i mention segregations in americas, european oppressions of the brown people and apartheid of south africa?

@plappville: Quran is not telling anyone to start hostility or extends it. Quran does not tell anyone to disrespect the God of others or their books. If you find anything that anyone can draw inspiration to do either, show it. Anyways. How are the kids?


@Seyibrown: Howdy? I have a thread on the holy spirit as the another comforter. How he could speak to humans so that he corrected their mistakes, glorify Jesus, etc, in front of the disciples. You can help answer this very simple question since no one will address the issue clearly.


@All: The "cleric" is not representing anyone but his clique of misfits. It is not permissible to tear the religious book of anyone because they may retaliate and tear yours even further. The arabs do not represent Islam for me. Islam represents itself; Quran and Sunnan/Hadith.

Frosbel, Plappville, you guys did not recognise my sarcasm....I wish to God it was only few that give Islam a bad image. The attack, we now know was coordinated and it DEFINITELY WASNT BECAUSE OF THE FILM..The way Chris Stevens was tortured and r@ped before he was murdered according to a Lebanese news is sickening, if those reports are true.

@Sweetnecta, taqqiya might work on the liberals, definitely not here. How did the Mideast become Islam? It definitely was not because prophet Mohammed preached nicely to them...

Chris Stevens here - http://4international.me/tag/chris-stevens/

The Phrase "ISLAM is a peaceful religion" reminds me of the popular Nigerian Sayings "Police is your friend"..."Bail is free".i tire for this people jare. i no know why blood dey always hungry dis people sef.

If they want they can tear the whole bibles in Egypt, it won't stop christians from worshiping God...instead the world would see them for what they really are.

seyibrown: Chris Stevens here - http://4international.me/tag/chris-stevens/

The website shows how Christians like you and the blogger spread the gospel of hate and lies to promote the ministry of paul and till date the holy ghost has not come to advise perverse individuals like you on why lies can never take a religion anywhere except to its demise.

plappville: They are the true Muslim who do according to the Koran's instruction.

The same you christians on Nairaland lie, insult and blaspheme other people religion are true Christian? right? the same way those who acted the satanic movie are the real christians right?

@vedaxcool, before you post stuff like this, at least do some groundwork. A Lebanese news website posted the story as well. I do not like posting websites lest we be accused of deliberately insulting propaganda against Islam. The page was in Arabic by the way to give it some credibility

http://www.tayyar.org/Tayyar/News/PoliticalNews/ar-LB/usa-killed-lybia-zek-970.htm. If you dont understand Arabic, you can translate into English. The gist is the same.

But a true Muslim will want to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet now? Abi?

but a true Christian will want to follow the way of Jesus abi? and that way seems to be to you NL christains the same rants of bigotry, lies, incessant blasphemy and hypocrite behaviour?
So anything in Arabic is credible to you right? they are no arab christians? you Christians desperation seems to know no bounds.

Yes a true Christian tries to live a Christ-like life. We strive but we realise that we are not perfect the more we draw nearer to him. But Christ also told us through the letter to the Corinthians that His grace is sufficient for us. Also the Holy Spirit helps to strengthen us by bringing to our remembrance the things that Christ taught us as we are aware in John 14,15 and 16

Of course there are a few Arab Christians left just like the Copt who was responsible for the movie. You and I know the persecution they live under in these countries, the Egyptians, Syriac, Assyrians and many more (but this is not news to the west), so some rightly or wrongly will resort to avenues like to air their grievances but this is not the topic for that.
