The Christians normally preach the message of "LOVE" and "KINDNESS" towards others, not only that, but even to love your enemy however, reading what the apostle John taught in his book will show us something different!!!
"Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he has <both</i> </b>the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrineRECEIVE HIM NOT INTO YOUR HOUSE, NEITHER BID HIM GOD SPEED: FOR HE THAT BIDDETH HIM GOD SPEED IS PARTAKER OF HIS EVIL DEEDS.
As we can see, according to the Bible (<i>The Christians God's word</i>), It is not allowed for a Christian to welcome Non Christians in their home or to wish them well. and if a Christian wishes well upon the none Christian, then he or she will be sinning. So actually everytime a Christian is greeting you or wishing you well, he or she is sinning according to the Bible.
So shortly,
-Christians cannot welcome none-Christians into their homes
-Christians cannot wish well upon none Christians
-If Christians do wish well upon a none believer they will be sinning
Three years ago, I was visiting the Evangelical Church located in Qasr Al Doubara in Garden City where we had an arranged meeting there with the church's leaderships for an open dialogue.
Because it was a Friday, we went to Omar Makram Masjed for Salat then we headed to the church. Before the morning mass that the majority of churches in Egypt, specially Evangelical, insist to hold it on Friday during the time of Juma`a Salat, and I have no idea why, they were showing the movie "The Passion of Christ" for Mel Gibson. We decided to join the crowd in watching the movie, then accept the invitation of the well known Evangelical priest for tea at his office.
The Nazarine audience was extremely involved in the movie, some of them were strongly crying for what Jesus was facing of beating, humiliation and torture. Indeed, Mel Gibson did take much agony in the movie. Anyway, we are not here to write a movie critique. However, we observed two young women wearing head cover and sitting next to an older woman who seemed to be their mother. They were quite noticeable. What brought them into the church. The issue raised our concerns, we were afraid that they were deceived. Thus, before going up to the priest doctor (Ph.D holder), we decided to speak to them. After the end of the movie, one of us went up and spoke to them, We learnt that they came to the church seeking to do a magic spell to help them with their delayed marriage. Ladies and gentlemen, frankly speaking, this came as a shock.. What has the church, supposedly a place to practice religious rituals, to do with such issues.
Anyway, we admonished the two girls and their mother. We went away, nevertheless, this scene was never cleared off my mind.
During one of Pope Beshoy's sermons, a woman stood up addressing him and said, I am a young woman who is baptized according to Orthodox church, but honestly I do attend some of the Protestant meetings. under a false impression that they are much interest in Biblical studies.
Recently, I attended a ladies meeting in the Orthodox church, during the sermon that focused on witchcraft, our father said Protestant adopt the witchcraft approach. And they will end up in destruction. I sent a blaming note to our father with a friend telling him that not all Protestants follow witchcraft. Our father then asked where is this lady asking the question, I want to meet her. Frankly, if she has some Protestant related inclinations, I do not want her to attend this meeting ever again. I do not like for a Protestant to attend an Orthodox meeting.
What is the opinion of your reverence and thank you. Pope Beshoy replied saying:
When our father responded to your question, he told you they use witchcraft, but I tell you no using witchcraft is more widely used among us.
We have monks who practice witchcraft.
Yaqoub Al Ghozamy practices witchcraft and the whole situation is a big mess.
But we are not taking a silent position about it. Immediately, when we receive a complain, it is communicated to reverend Pope and he commands to transfer his file to the Mutfi (this is a joke as one who is sentenced to death penalty, the verdict would state of transferring his file to the Grand Mufti to finalize the verdict), The audience cracked laughing and applauding. One who wants to verify the incident may search You tube where the recording is uploaded.
This issue, gentlemen, is serious. What would motivate Egyptian churches to use witchcraft on people either Muslims or Nazarenes, witchcraft became quite widespread in churchs in an ugly unacceptable manner.
Actually, in this regard, Makari Younan is the big boss. His church is perceived as the primary rescue for those who are suffering. Kakari Younan claims that he takes magic off people and exorcists. Younan also claims that daemons run away from him just when they hear his voice.
For instance, a man or a young girl would come seeking his help, they might be either psychologically ill or suffering a Jin. Makari would scream at his louder voice saying I command you to come out now. They he would ask the victim about his/her name in order to know if the person is Muslim or Nazarene. In case it was a Nazarene victim, he would say, Jesus the Lord healed you, come on get up.. Otherwise, if the person is a Muslim, he would say, het up the alive Jesus healed you. Certainly the person in question was neither healed nor improved. Now I want to tell you a story before I continue!!!
A female student in the Faculty of Applied Art never imagined that visiting the hanging church in Old Cairo will turn her life to hell. She did not go there for entertainment, or curiosity, though, like some Muslims would do. But as I explained, she is a student with the Faculty of Applied Art and went among a group of her colleagues to do a research on the Coptic designs on the church.
Until this point, the situation is just normal. But after her visit, she went into a deteriorated psychological status that she said she was unable to perform Salat in her house. But she performs all of them outside the house.
Not only this, but she explained that she hardly slept and in case she did, she would experience terrible nightmares always involving images of priests and crosses.
After that, she met a Nazarene young man who wanted to play an act on her. He told her, it is obvious in your eyes that you are suffering a Jin touch and I know the remedy. But only Allah Saved her to remain away from him, otherwise, she would have faced an unpleasant fate.
Two months ago, I met a similar case. The young man's father swore to me that his only son went to visit his uncle in Suez and came back a totally different person. I swear to Allah the All Mighty, that when I spoke with the young man, and he was an outstanding student with the Faculty of Commerce, he told me something that I would never forget all my life. The young poor man told me that he does not see his respected old father except as a priest.
He continued explaining that, during his visit to Suez, he went into a church and since then, he was no longer the same.
Respected people, the issue is really serious, we are facing cases involving some of our best young men and women. I know them. They are all around us. In some cases, they were fooled and deceived, others were lost due to the witchcraft practiced in some churches.
I have the recording on Pope Beshoy which is also available to watch on the Internet. IN that recording, he openly admits that most Orthodox and Evangelical churches are involved in witchcraft.
Recordings of priest Makari Younan is available on You Tube while he is claiming to treat witchcraft victims who include Muslim young men and women.
Those young people are still alive. But the question is.
What is does the Egyptian churches want from Muslims?
Why the church uses witchcraft on people in its Christianization attempts? What is the guilt of our youth, male and female, to turn from stable to patients or victims of Jin as a result to the practices of churches?
Who owns the power to stop the church?
Many questions are running around my mind with no answer.
Or may be there is an answer, but the time is not due yet.

It is wrong to assert that a small unrepresentative group of Muslim activits tried to Islamicise a state primary school in Woking. The silent majority of Muslim parents would like to send their children to state funded Muslim schools. They are not extremists who want to change of ethos of those schools where Muslim children are in majority. It is the democratic right of every Muslim parents to see that their children recieve balanced education, so that when their children grow up, they do not find themselves cut off from their cultural roots and linguistic skills. It is a question of common sense, humanity and reason that bilingual Muslim children must be educated in state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. Politicians like Damian Green and David Blunkett believe that those children who speak two or three languages are the cause of problems in education. The whole world believes that people who speak more than one language is a vital economic asset.Pupils awho speak more than one language do not cause difficulities. It is the politicians and monolingual teachgers who are the problems for bilingual pupils.
Funding Muslim groups is not going to prevent anger, frustration and extremism. Muslim youths have been educated in a wrong place at a wrong time. They have been mis-educated and de-educated by state and church schools with non-Muslim monolingual teachers during their developmental periods. Muslim youths are being detained without trial in the war on terror. The policy of detention is radicalising young people in the United Kingdom.
Egypt says Hezbollah leader Nasrallah appointed members to carry out attacks (File)
CAIRO (Agencies, AlArabiya.net)
Egypt's state prosecutor on Wednesday accused the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah of plotting to carry out attacks inside the country .
"The state prosecutor has received a statement from state security which shows that leaders from the Lebanese Hezbollah have called on its cadres to recruit members to its movement," according to a statement from the prosecutor obtained by AFP.
It charged that the campaign was launched with "the aim of carrying out acts of aggression inside the country," while Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had appointed members to carry out such actions.
Egyptian police have arrested 43 people in connection with the case, the prosecutor said, although it was not immediately clear when the arrests were carried out.
The men are suspected of having bought or rented homes in Rafah on the border with Gaza to smuggle weapons and contraband into the Palestinian enclave which is ruled by Hamas, a judicial source told AFP.
In January, Nasrallah, whose group is supported by Damascus and Tehran, slammed Egypt for keeping its Rafah border post with Gaza closed during an Israeli military offensive against the territory.
He accused Cairo of complicity in longstanding Israeli blockade on Gaza and cast doubt on Egypt's neutrality in efforts at the time to mediate a ceasefire.

As-salamu Alaykum Wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu everyone
The treatise by Imam ibn Hanbal, the Imam of the Hanbali school of juristic reasoning, renowned for his steep knowledge, was written several hundred years ago to the inhabitants of a town where the Imam stayed for a period of time. It contains a full and clear description of the prayer and includes detailed observations of the mistakes, which Imam Ahmad observed during his time in that town. It was and remains an invaluable work for all Muslims. Detailing as it does many common errors made during prayers, some of which are serious enough to invalidate the act of worship. The book includes several explanatory notes by the translator, Sameh Strauch, a convert to Islam from England

As-salamu Alaykum Wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu everyone
Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali
This is a treatise we have written concerning humility (Khushu') and the hearts meekness and breaking (inkisar) before the Lord. The basic meaning of Khushu', is the softness of the heart, its being gentle, still, submissive, broken, and yearning. When the heart is humble, so too is the hearing, seeing, heard, and face; indeed all the limbs and their actions are humbled, even speech. This is why the Prophet (saw) would say in his bowing (ruku), "My hearing, sight, bones, and marrow are humbled to You," another narration has, "and whatever my foot carries." One of the Salaf saw a man fidgeting in his prayer and remarked, 'If the heart of this person was humble, so too would his limbs be.' The source of the Khushu, that takes place in the heart is the gnosis of Allah's greatness, magnificence, and perfection. Teh more gnosis a person has of Allah, the more Khushu' he has. The greatest action of worship which manifests the Khushu, of the body to Allah is the prayer (Salaah). Allah has praised those who have Khushu' in the prayer.
