ISIS Celebrates Egypt Terror Attack at Coptic Church as 'Blessed Act'

http://www.christianpost.com/news/isis-celebrates-egypt-terror-attack-coptic-church-blessed-act-172059/

BBC News reports that President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi has declared a three-day period of national mourning over the attack, and vowed to hunt down and punish the perpetrators.

"Vicious terrorism is being waged against the country's Copts and Muslims. Egypt will emerge stronger and more united from this situation," al-Sisi said.

The explosion on Sunday, caused by a device containing at least 26 pounds of TNT, was carried out inside the chapel adjoining the main hall of the church, officials said.

Mena Adel, a church member, told International Christian Concern, a persecution watchdog group, "The church bombing was planned and carried out meticulously. The explosion took place in the pews of the women."

"I think that someone seized the opportunity of overcrowding Copts who were entering the church and was able to enter the church among them and put the bomb under the church pews and then went out," Adel added.

Cathedral worker Attiya Mahrous told The Associated Press, "I found bodies, many of them women, lying on the pews, it was a horrible scene."

Reuters reports that although no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, supporters of the Islamic State terror group celebrated the deaths of the victims on social media.

"God bless the person who did this blessed act," one IS supporter wrote on Telegram.

The terror group, which is fighting to keep hold of its captured territory in Iraq and Syria, has committed extreme abuses against Coptic Christians, and in February 2015 released a video showing the mass beheading of 21 Copts in a recording titled "A Message Signed With Blood to the Nation of the Cross."

IS has carried out various other attacks on Copts, who make up only 10 percent of the Egyptian population, and in July it was reported that an IS branch in the Sinai Peninsula shot and killed 46-year-old Coptic Priest Raphael Moussa in the town of El-Arish.

World powers, including the U.N., the U.S., and the Vatican, have all condemned Sunday's attack, with the Obama administration vowing to "continue to work with its partners to defeat such terrorist acts."

Pope Francis also spoke out against what he called the continuation of "brutal terrorist attacks," and said he was praying for the dead and wounded.

William Stark, ICC's Regional Manager, said that the latest attack was both shocking and devastating.

"We mourn for the families that have been destroyed by this bombing and condemn the people or groups responsible for it. This must come as a wakeup call to the Egyptian government and the international community that the Christian population in Egypt is in grave danger from religious attacks," Stark said.

"Entire Christian communities have been assaulted by mobs of Muslim radicals on four separate occasions in 2016 because there was a rumor that a church was being constructed. Now, we have witnessed one of the worst assaults on Egypt's Christian community in years. More must be done to protect Christians and their places of worship in Egypt," he urged.

Hong Kong Disneyland holding its own since opening of Shanghai Disneyland

Five months after a bigger Disney park opened in Shanghai, its smaller cousin in Hong Kong still appears to be pulling in the crowds.  

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/hong-kong-disneyland-holding-its-own-since-opening-of-shanghai/3299990.html

HONG KONG: It was always expected that Hong Kong Disneyland would be facing stiff competition for tourism dollars after Shanghai Disneyland opened its doors in June.

Questions were asked about whether people from mainland China would prefer to visit a newer and bigger park that is, for many, easier to get to. And would tourists from around the region be drawn to visit Disney’s latest addition to its roster of Asian parks at the expense of its smaller cousin?

But now that Shanghai Disney has been up and running for five months, concerns about the impact on the Hong Kong attraction appear to be somewhat unfounded.

When Channel NewsAsia visited the park recently, visitors appeared generally happy at what was on offer.

“We hear that there are just too many people at Shanghai Disneyland,” said theme park fan Aiko Kitano, who was visiting from Japan. “We’ve been to Hong Kong Disneyland twice now and we like it because the queues are not as long as the ones in Tokyo Disneyland. We get to go on the Space Mountain (known as Hyperspace Mountain in Hong Kong) ride so many more times here!”

Hong Kong resident Happy Chan, who is a big fan of Hong Kong Disneyland and has come many times a year ever since the park opened, told Channel NewsAsia that going to the Shanghai park has no appeal.

“I like the fact that Hong Kong Disneyland is small and concentrated, which means I can finish (going around) the park in one day,” said Chan, adding that he has no intention of visiting Shanghai Disneyland because he has all the entertainment he wants on his doorstep.

NEW ATTRACTIONS

But some other visitors, while satisfied with the current offerings at Hong Kong Disneyland, felt that the park needs to be proactive in ensuring it stays relevant and appealing. 

"I think first of all, Hong Kong Disney has to differentiate itself from Shanghai Disney. Because both Hong Kong and Shanghai Disneyland are under the same umbrella, they probably focus on the same things,” said Misha Chou, a Taiwanese who has been working in Hong Kong for three years. “Space is one question too, because I heard that Shanghai Disneyland is much bigger.”

For Singaporean YouTuber DisneyDwayne, who has been to every Disney park across the world, Hong Kong Disneyland looks set to rise to the challenge of keeping up its competitive edge.

“I think the park has been keeping itself in the game,” he said.  “It is special in itself being the smallest park, having a more intimate atmosphere and it has its own unique features no other park has, like Toy Story Land. The new thing coming this year-end is the Iron Man Experience. I believe it will rival the Transformers ride we have at Universal Studios Singapore.”

The Iron Man Experience is one of two new attractions Hong Kong Disneyland will be unveiling as part of a US$1.4 billion upgrade to ensure it retains its appeal.  

“Hong Kong Disneyland is excited to bring the first-ever Marvel-themed ride in a Disney Park to Hong Kong,” said Samuel Lau, executive vice president and managing director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.

“The Iron Man Experience is a unique immersive motion experience using Hong Kong as the story background for the very first time. We are proud to give local and overseas guests a different perspective and experience of Hong Kong while promoting our vibrant city to the world at the same time.”

The park spent more than three years to design and create the multi-sensory immersive motion experience - complete with flight simulators, 3D projection, surround sound and other special effects. The attraction is scheduled to open in January 2017.

APPEALING TO INTERNATIONAL VISITORS

According to experts, new attractions like these are essential for Hong Kong Disney to ensure that it does not lose out to its Shanghai equivalent.

“The theme park in Hong Kong has been established for 11 years, equipped with lots of operating experience as well as high quality of service,” said Catherine So, general manager of North Eastern Asia Region at online travel company Expedia. “Hong Kong Disneyland has a more international outlook as there are popular (temporary) attractions like the Frozen Village for Frozen and the upcoming Iron Man-themed areas, whilst Shanghai Disneyland puts strong emphasis on its Chinese features.”

She added that while Shanghai Disneyland proved to be an instant hit when it first opened in June, with tickets sold out and hotels fully booked, Expedia has seen signs that the number of visitors in the third quarter “receded a bit”.

“One of the reasons is that the ticket prices of Shanghai Disneyland are the most expensive in Asia,” she explained. “Shanghai Disneyland responded by taking 25 per cent off their prices in September to attract visitors.”

Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Greg So Kam-leung weighed in on the issue earlier this year, also suggesting that there is room for both parks to flourish.

“Shanghai Disneyland highlights more Chinese characteristics ... (Hong Kong is an) international playground,” he was quoted as saying, reiterating that Hong Kong catered more to international travellers while Shanghai targeted mainland visitors. He added that the Hong Kong government and Disney were in discussions for the park’s further expansion.

The Hong Kong government has a vested interest in maintaining the success of the Disney park as it owns 53 per cent of the attraction.

Park expansion and new special attractions are on the wishlist of some Hong Kong Disneyland visitors. 

"I think they have to build more roller coasters ... and a bigger venue," said Andrew Wong from Hong Kong. "They could build something special that other Disneylands do not have, like a zoo or some freaky roller coasters."

Catherine So pointed out that even though Shanghai Disney is bigger, its Hong Kong equivalent fits into a tourism landscape that offers a multitude of attractions.

“Hong Kong Disneyland can always keep up to its game. Furthermore, Hong Kong Disneyland can have further synergy with other tourist attractions in Lantau Island such as Ngong Ping 360, the Big Buddha and Tai O Stilt Houses to offer the true diversity of Hong Kong to visitors around the world.”

Charlie Hebdo attack: Three days of terror

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-30708237

Who - Paris people, Muslim, the police

What - There are some terror attacks happened in Paris for three days

When - 7-9 January, 2016

Where - Rock Pub, and many places in Paris 

How - ISIS hates European and American countries, so they took the action 

France is emerging from one of its worst security crises in decades after three days of attacks by gunmen brought bloodshed to the capital Paris and its surrounding areas. It began with a massacre at the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday 7 January and ended with a huge police operation and two sieges two days later.

Here is what we know about how events unfolded:

Sequence of events: 7-9 January

At 11:30 local time (10:30 GMT) on Wednesday 7 January, a black Citroen C3 drove up to the Charlie Hebdo building in Rue Nicolas-Appert. Two masked gunmen, dressed in black and armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles got out and approached the offices.

They burst into number 6, Rue Nicolas-Appert, before realising they had the wrong address. They then moved down the street to number 10 - where the Charlie Hebdo offices are on the second floor.

Once inside, the men - now known to be brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi - asked maintenance staff in reception where the magazine's offices were, before shooting dead caretaker Frederic Boisseau.

One of the magazine's cartoonists, Corinne Rey, described how she had just returned to the building after picking up her daughter from day care when the gunmen threatened her, forcing her to enter the code for the keypad entry to the newsroom on the second floor - where a weekly editorial meeting was taking place.

The men opened fire and killed the editor's police bodyguard, Franck Brinsolaro, before asking for editor Stephane Charbonnier, known as Charb, and other four cartoonists by name and killing them, along with three other editorial staff and a guest attending the meeting.

Witnesses said they had heard the gunmen shouting "We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad" and "God is Great" in Arabic while calling out the names of the journalists.

Police, alerted to a shooting incident, arrived at the scene as the gunmen were leaving the building.

A police car blocked the gunmen's escape route down the narrow street Allee Vert and the gunmen opened fire.

Journalists and workers who had taken refuge on nearby rooftops filmed the gunmen getting out of the car and shooting at the police vehicle, before driving off.

One of the attackers then walked up to the injured officer on the pavement and shot him dead at close range. The gunman returned to the car and drove away with his accomplice.

The getaway car was found abandoned - after apparently crashing into another vehicle about 3km (1.8 miles) north of the Charlie Hebdo offices. Investigators found Molotov cocktails and two jihadist flags in the car, French media report.

Thanks to the widespread coverage of the conflict in Syria by world and Israeli media, the world has not remained silent in condemning the slaughter in Aleppo.

http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/From-Aleppo-to-Darfur-Jews-must-not-stay-silent-470778What

Who - The Refugee, Israeli media, European country good people

What - Thanks to the widespread coverage of the conflict in Syria by world and Israeli media, the world has not remained silent in condemning the slaughter in Aleppo

When - Since terrorists attack

Where - Syria

How - Israel should support the call for a no-fly zone in Darfur and terminate its flirtation with the Bashir regime.

In response to the unrelenting bombing of defenseless men, women and children in Aleppo, Israel’s Sephardi Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef had this to say: “As Jews, we must not stay silent. The call must be heard from here. A genocide will not be allowed to go by quietly – not in Syria and not anywhere else.”

These remarks, delivered a day after Yom Kippur at an interreligious meeting bringing together Palestinian Muslim clerics and Israeli religious leaders made headlines in the Israeli media. They also won the praise of Yair Lapid, the head of Yesh Atid, who described them as “the words of a true spiritual leader.”

Just a day before Yom Kippur, hundreds of protesters led by Sudanese asylum seekers marched from Levinsky Park in south Tel Aviv to the European Union Embassy in Ramat Gan to condemn the use of chemical weapons against the civilian populations in the Jebel Marra area of Darfur. They also demanded that the international community take action to stop the genocide in Darfur and hold Sudan’s rulers accountable for their war crimes.

Thanks to the widespread coverage of the conflict in Syria by world and Israeli media, the world has not remained silent in condemning the slaughter in Aleppo. However, the United States and Europe have not intervened to stop the carnage. Security and diplomatic concerns have precluded Israel’s getting involved in the civil war there. However, to its credit, Israel has provided medical care to thousands of Syrians.

There was a time when Jews in Israel and the Diaspora spoke out strongly against genocide in Sudan.

Eli Wiesel led the way in America.

In 2004, the horrors of Darfur were widely shown on television and the front pages of newspapers – human beings uprooted, children dying of disease, hunger and violence.

Wiesel had this to say: “How can a person, whether religious or secular, not be moved by compassion? And above all, how can anyone who remembers remain silent? We must be involved. How can we reproach the indifference of non-Jews to Jewish suffering if we remain indifferent to another people’s plight?” When the first contingent of refugees from Sudan came to Israel about a decade ago, secular and religious Israelis condemned the genocide. On Global Day for Darfur, chairman of the Yad Vashem Council, Tommy Lapid and Avner Shalev, the executive secretary of Yad Vashem sent a letter in April, 2007 to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urging him to do everything in his power to stop the genocide in Darfur: “As the heads of the Jewish people’s central organization for commemorating the Holocaust – a genocide that took place while the world stood silently by – we feel a special obligation to sound the alarm on Darfur.”

That same year, former chief rabbi Yisrael Lau appealed to prime minister Ehud Olmert on the eve of Shavuot to release the Sudanese refugees held in Israeli jails and to grant them refugee status. He said, “As Jews, we cannot turn our heads from the suffering of another nation.”

A decade later, the radical Islamist regime which came to power in 1989 is still in place. Indicted by the International Court of Justice for crimes against humanity and genocide in 2007, Omar al-Bashir continues to pursue the same crimes that drew the world’s attention to and condemnation of the Assad regime in Syria.

Ironically, the breakup of Syria, which fueled Europe’s current refugee crisis, Assad’s alliance with Iran and the fight against Islamic State (ISIS) have relieved pressure on the Bashir regime in Sudan.

Thus, Europe has tempered its criticism of Sudan and offered millions of dollars in development aid to keep asylum seekers transiting through Sudan out of Europe. America has toned down its condemnation of Sudan and sees Sudan as cooperating with the West’s efforts to defeat ISIS and stop Islamist terrorist attacks.  

After abandoning its long standing alliance with Iran last year and aligning itself with Saudi Arabia, Sudan has received billions of Saudi dollars to shore up its faltering economy. And now that Sudan is aligned with Saudi Arabia to reduce Iranian influence in the Middle East, the Israeli government has quietly asked America to ease economic sanctions against Sudan and Europe to offer more economic aid to save the Bashir regime from economic collapse.

Meanwhile, Sudan has been accelerating its military campaigns against the populations in Darfur, Nuba Mountains and the Blue Nile.

The photos of the charred flesh of young children in Jebel Marra are as chilling as those shown of Syrian children in Aleppo. Over 300,000 Sudanese in 12 refugee camps in Chad have refused to return to Darfur because they fear for their safety.

It is time for Israelis to follow Sephardi Chief Rabbi Yosef’s exhortation not to remain silent in condemning genocide anywhere and to provide sympathy and support for its victims in Syria and Darfur.

Israel should support the call for a no-fly zone in Darfur and terminate its flirtation with the Bashir regime.

Given the dire situation in Darfur spanning more than a decade, it is ludicrous to assume that Mutasim Ali, who was recently granted refugee status, is the only one from Darfur to deserve it. One need only to listen to the stories of many of the thousands of Darfurians who came to Israel for protection to understand that their appeals for refugee status are well-grounded.

Writing in 2012 when hostility toward asylum seekers was at its height, Rabbi Dov Lipman asked Israelis: “What is the greater threat to the Jewish state – infiltrators who seek asylum and refuge or our failure to act with the most fundamental of Jewish values?” His answer: “...as Jews we absolutely must accept human beings who flee to our midst to seek refuge. That is the price that we must pay for establishing such a wonderful, democratic state based on Jewish values.”

In First UN Address As Leader, Aung San Suu Kyi Defends Efforts On Rohingyas

Suu Kyi has been criticized for doing too little to address the plight of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar’s Rakhine State.

What - Myanmar’s former political prisoner and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi defended her government’s efforts to resolve a crisis over treatment of the country’s Muslim minority.

When - September 2016

Where - New York City

導言  

UNITED NATIONS, Sept 21 (Reuters) - In her first address to the U.N. General Assembly as national leader, Myanmar’s former political prisoner and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi defended her government’s efforts to resolve a crisis over treatment of the country’s Muslim minority.

UNITED NATIONS, Sept 21 (Reuters) - In her first address to the U.N. General Assembly as national leader, Myanmar’s former political prisoner and Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi defended her government’s efforts to resolve a crisis over treatment of the country’s Muslim minority.

Suu Kyi, who has been criticized for doing too little to address the plight of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, said the government did not fear international scrutiny, but asked “for the understanding and the constructive contribution of the international community.”

“We are committed to a sustainable solution that will lead to peace, stability and development for all communities within the State,” she said.

“Our government is taking a holistic approach that makes development central to both short- and long-term programs aimed at promoting understanding and trust.”

Suu Kyi pointed to the establishment of an advisory commission for Rakhine State chaired by former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, with a mandate covering basic rights and security issues.

Suu Kyi said there had been “persistent opposition from some quarters” to the establishment of the commission. She said the government would persevere in its efforts to achieve peace in Rakhine.

“By standing firm against the forces of prejudice and intolerance, we are reaffirming our faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person.”

Increased freedom of speech since the military stepped back from direct rule in 2011 has allowed for the unleashing of long-held anti-Muslim sentiment in Myanmar. More than 100 people were killed and some neighborhoods were razed to the ground in 2012 when ethnic Rakhine Buddhists clashed with Rohingya Muslims.

Some 125,000 people are still displaced, the vast majority of them Rohingya, who are prevented from moving freely.

The Rohingya have long been persecuted, being seen by much of the majority Buddhist population as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, even though many have lived in the country for generations. Most were stripped of their ability to vote in last year’s election, which brought Suu Kyi to power as de facto leader.

In Washington last Thursday, Suu Kyi urged businesses to invest in Myanmar as a way to advance its democratic transition, a day after U.S. President Barack Obama pledged to lift long-standing sanctions on the country.
