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.

In Best Brother Dave voice...

highway out of it!".
Big Leon, I like it.
What do you think Digger?
Woof! Woof!
(She thinks so too.)
If this situation was the other way around, then this would never happend.
The phrase is freely given, as it was to me!
Well, the Koran orders these things. The Koran is a product of Mohammed (a crazed homicidal maniac, and yes, that was his personal record).
So, the entity appearing for Mohammed was not God, whatever it was. Maybe you should look around un the Djinni ranks. And a Godly prohibition against the Koran would seem to be natural.

the religion of ISLAM is perfect and all inclusive.
Yeah, right. Tell it to the Clintons, they need the votes.
Too bad you didn't discover the Church of the Future tm. first.
Still, I'll be sending you some hydro-meditation next time
I take a shower.
If a Christian country were to practice slavery and genocide against blacks, would you make the same excuses?
if you believe in God you shouldnt mock him, no matter which of his names are used.So what you're saying is that if a Mexican Catholic prays to "Dios", or a German Lutheran prays to "Gott", they don't worship the same God as American Christians?G-d has only one name.
Maybe it's Allah, maybe it's YHWH, but the two are not the same.
Jesus of Nazareth spoke Aramaic. The Aramaic word for "God" is "alah".
I don't know about the various Protestant faiths, but the Roman Catholic Church officially recognizes Muslims as worshipping the same God they do.

"just some advise. if you believe in God you shouldnt mock him, no matter which of his names are used. and God is the greatest(Allahu Akbar). just some friendly advise."
are a threat and a challenge.
The offered 'advice' before and after a statement belies innocent intent.
You will be challenged here in FR regarding your 'religion'.
Many of us have no 'religion' ... we have a personal relationship with God through the person of Jesus Christ.
Which, amazingly, no matter what language His name is spoken in, it always seems to come out unconfusedly Jesus and Christ.
As for allah? (sbuh)
Great tag line.
I guess Bin Ladin is not a real Muslim.
Could you please start telling the FBI who are the false Muslims bent on killing Americans so they can be thrown into Gitmo?
