Muslims urinate on Torah scrolls in Hebron
Israel Today ^ | September 07, 2008 | Staff

Posted on 09/07/2008 7:51:29 AM PDT by forkinsocket

Jewish worshippers returning to Hebron's Cave of the Patriarchs after Muslims were given exclusive access to the holy site at the weekend reported that the cabinet containing their Torah scrolls had been urinated on.

One Jewish resident of Hebron told Israel National News that he and several other men had to move the cabinet to another part of the room because of the strong smell of urine in the area where it is usually positioned.

Additionally, green Hamas flags were found placed in the windows that mark the burial sites of Abraham, Isaac, Sara, Rebecca and Leah.

The Cave of the Patriarchs is split into Jewish and Muslim sections, as both groups revere Abraham.

Several times a year, the holy site is given over to one or the other group exclusively to mark special holy days. Muslims were given exclusive access to the Cave of the Patriarchs on Friday to mark their holy month of Ramadan.

Another Jewish resident of Hebron said that some damage to Jewish religious articles or the Jewish side of the site is found every time the Muslims take over.

Islam isn’t a religion- it’s a mental illness

I’m gonna sit and wait for Jews worldwide to riot over this incident and issue death threats to all involved and then I’m gonna wait for world leaders in government and media to condemn it and then......I’m gonna run downstairs and see if the Easter Bunny left me anything early this year.

There is absolutely NO reason that muzzies should be given access to what they consider to be “common” holy sites whether it be Christian , Jewish or Hindu. These pigs of devils deface anything they touch.

When Pali’s initiated their In-ta-Fat-ta in 2000 they took over the Church of Nativiety in Bethleham and they urinated and destroyed everything. I went there on a State Department Armed Escort trip (more security than us visitors) and we went this CHURCH over the site of the Manger where Jesus was born and then over the Grotto where Mary nursed him. The shame of Islam is evident everywhere it mixes with other religions and cultures.

Will we will see any masked protestors with ‘’Behead those who insult the Torah’’ signs?

Fortunately, the Torah is always the Torah.

Just one more reason to vote for Sarah Palin. She had an Israeli flag in her office in Alaska, and she probably won't have it in her White House office, but I'll bet she has it in the Vice Presidential quarters on the National Observatory grounds.

Islam has to be a mental disease because the "rules" date from the seventh-eighth century but the adherents live in 2008. Sixteen hundred years is a lot of years to try to justify living under seventh-eighth century regulations. Islam either has to grow-up or die out. There aren't any other options for it. Modern Muslims understand this. Unfortunately, their numbers are few.

But a Koran in a toilet at Guantanamo caused worldwide disdain. We won’t hear a word from the UN about this (not that I care).
