TEL AVIV, Israel, June 11 (UPI) -- A Palestinian couple frustrated over their inability to marry approached Israeli lines hoping to be shot together, it was reported Friday.
Soldiers suspected the couple were not militants and held their fire, the Yediot Aharonot newspaper said on its Web site.
The couple in their late 20s have been friends for six years and upon questioning, told officials they could not marry because of a dispute between their families, a military source told United Press International. They decided suicide was their only option.
They approached the Kfar Darom settlement early Wednesday. The woman dropped her bag when soldiers approached and hugged the man when soldiers pointed their guns at them. Soldiers asked the woman to move aside so they could search the man, but she would not let go of him until shots were fired in the air.
After searching and questioning the pair, the army released them, confident they were not affiliated with any terrorist organizations.

Here's an interesting "what if:" let's say it's the year 1,000 AD, and Christian missionaries have failed to convert the Norse peoples from their pagan faith. However, born amongst the Vikings is a dyanmic leader who leads a warlike reformation of the faith, doing away with all the lesser gods and turning the faith into a monotheistic belief system, with Odin as the Allfather (as Odin was known, anyway). In the process of this reformation, the reforming leader picks up some of the bits and pieces of the neighboring Christian faith (a few tales from the Old Testament, perhaps, exchanging Odin for Yahweh, blending perhaps the Deluge with Ginnungagigap and Armageddon with Ragnarok), thus linking the two religions.
A thousand years pass, and the Norse Odinist monotheism survives, in conflict with Christianity.
Now... since the two Gods share many attributes and some backstory, would it be accurate to say that Odin = Jehovah, even though the historical source of ODin is quite different from Jehovah?
That claim has been debunked numerous times. Been nice knowing you, member since 6/11/04.

AHEM! Complaints and comparisons regarding behavior, and even debates of belief, are fair. Namecalling of that type, however, seems *seriously* out of place here. Rise above it... don't be a DUer.
...Can many roads take you to the same location??In Dog we Trust....the more@ssholes I encounter from ALL creeds&colors(including my own)the more I want to start a hybrid religion...I fighure we'll get pi$$ed off Irish Catholics like myself anf a few of my Sikh friends to be ushers/collections types,Orthodow Jews to debate the Book&review the fine print,and some old hill dwelling Rastafarians from Negril to divvy out the sacramentals.Oh yeah,and instead of being referred to as a flock with the "need ofshepherds",we'll be referred to as a Dogpack,or like the Dominicans,God's Dogs....
What is your opinion regarding events in the Sudan?
Dancing the streets, the fat woman cheering. You do know that the footage shown was a Palestinian celebration back in the 90s? It had nothing to do with 9/11/2001.Careful, you're challenging a legend that has morphed into one of the mostly closely held beliefs of some here. :)
Never mind the fact that Arafat looked like he had seen a ghost and donated blood, and there are many verified examples of Palestinians showing sympathy over the attacks.

I get the hallucgenic "Sacred" wafer contract.
Yasser wasn't donating blood; He was feeding!
That pair should have been taken into Israel and settled. The nest such pair will have bombs.
If true (and I have my doubts), then you're the exception. Islam usually attracts the dregs of society -- angry young men devoid of character or direction. It's certainly not surprising that people like that would chose a cult founded by a psycho pedophile as their "religion."
He's got blood sucking down to a fine art.
As a Muslim do you denounce the enslavement of african Christians and animists by Arab Muslims?
Word is, that he does THAT recreationally with his..er... spyntriari.
