Christian convert gets Muslim death threat

A Muslim convert to Christianity who discusses his faith with Muslims on a popular Internet chat site has received a death threat.

The threat posted on the New York-based site PalTalk came after a WorldNetDaily column published the man's name and comments on the slaying of four members of a New Jersey Coptic Christian family, reported the weblog Jihad Watch.

The message is similar to others aimed at a number of Christians who are tracked systematically by a radical Islamic website, barsomyat.com.

The target of the threat, Ahmed Mohamed, a convert to the Coptic Christian Church, uses the moniker "Ahmed_love_Jesus" on PalTalk.

The message sent March 6 reads:

Know this, Ahmed_love_Jesus, we tracked you and being in America will not help you. Your blood is lawful and we will kill you soon.

If you were with me I would have killed you.

I will know where you are and kill you someday.

Ahmed_Love_Jesus, by the life of your mother's [obscenity deleted], your blood is lawful. We know where you are in America and we will slaughter you like the lamb that you worship.

A WND column March 1 by Maria Sliwa said Mohamed was one of the targeted Christians whose photo and contact information were posted on barsomyat.com because he debated Muslims on PalTalk.

Mohamed told Sliwa that while sometimes afraid, he is prepared to die for his faith.

Hossam Armanious, the Coptic Christian from Jersey City, N.J., who was found slain Jan. 14 with his wife and two daughters, received a death threat from a Muslim PalTalk user two months before his murder: "You'd better stop this bull ... or we are going to track you down like a chicken and kill you."

As WorldNetDaily reported, a Christian aid worker who writes for an evangelical news service has been targeted for death by contributors to an Islamist website.

Posting on the Houston-based site Al Ansar, the Islamists blamed Jeremy Reynalds, director of Joy Junction in New Mexico, for the demise of another website, mawsuat.com, and asked if anyone else had more information on him, according to Internet Haganah.

Internet Haganah describes itself as a "global open-source intelligence network dedicated to confronting Internet use by Islamist terrorist organizations, their supporters, enablers and apologists."

In the subsequent discussion thread on Al Ansar, the Islamists posted Reynalds' home address so he would be "visited" and then a photograph with the wish that his ribs would be broken.

Another offered prayers to Allah that Reynalds' "fatty neck" would be delivered to them, a reference to Islamists' common execution method of decapitation.

The FBI reportedly is investigating barsomyat.com
