DEVOUT MUSLIMS IN SINAI PROVE THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ISLAM NOT IN EGYPTIANS’ BEST INTERESTS

Why anyone would be risking their lives to visit Egypt at this juncture in history, is simply beyond me. It’s a classic example of why the hardcore Left is fixated on Israel, they simply haven’t the nerve to tackle real human rights abusing Islamic states, so ”kicking the Jew in the region” is the preferred method in showing their faux humanitarianism.

Sinai-based Islamist group warns tourists to leave Egypt

A militant Islamist group has told tourists to leave Egypt and threatened to attack those who remain in the country after February 20, warning that a deadly weekend attack on a tourist bus was part of a new “economic war”.

The Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis group, which claimed responsibility for a Sunday suicide bombing near the resort of Taba that killed two South Korean tourists and an Egyptian, made the statement on an affiliated Twitter account.

“We recommend tourists to get out safely before the expiry of the deadline,” read the tweet, written in English.

FRANCE 24’s sister station RFI (Radio France Internationale) also reported that the Sinai-based group was behind the attack, citing General Abdel Fattah Osman, a high-ranking official in the Egyptian interior ministry.

The jihadist group said the bus attack was part of an “economic war” on the country’s military rulers, an apparent bid to further devastate Egypt’s tourism industry, once a vital source of income.
