Graffiti scribbled on a mosque in the village of Bnai Elias, calling Mohammed “a pig,” sparked Arab riots in Samaria Sunday afternoon. An Israeli motorist was wounded and evacuated to the hospital.
The motorist was lightly wounded when her car was stoned on the Azoun bypass road. After being struck in the head by a rock, she continued driving to the community of Karnei Shomron where she received first aid before being evacuated to the hospital.
Four other Israelis were treated for shock after their vehicles were attacked by stone throwing mobs.
Hundreds of Arabs rioted in the towns of Bnai Elias, Fundak, and Azoun, where mobs burned tires and threw cinder blocks onto IDF troops and Israeli civilians.
In Azoun, after being attacked with cinder blocks, IDF troops opened fire, aiming for the legs of the attackers. Three Arabs were wounded and evacuated by the local Red Crescent, affiliated with the Red Cross.
The IDF apologized for the graffiti, in a statement saying “The IDF apologizes for the incident and declares that the state is obligated to preserve the dignity of all religions and freedom of worship.”
Arabs from Bnai Elias, a village near Kalkilya, claimed that the graffiti was sprayed onto the mosque at 4:30 A.M. Sunday. They told Israel’s Civil Administration for Judea and Samaria that a number of people got out of a vehicle bearing Israeli plates and sprayed “Mohammed is a pig” on the mosque’s exterior wall.
Representatives of the Civil Administration rushed to the village, condemned the graffiti, and erased the scrawl with the assistance of IDF troops.
The identity of the perpetrators is unknown, but many in the Israeli media have already accused Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria for the provocation. The village of Bnai Elias, however, is frequently visited by Israeli Jews and Arabs (Moslem and Christian) shopping for bargains, so vehicles with Israeli plates are not uncommon in the town. The incident is under police investigation.
Arab residents of Jerusalem rioted yesterday over the caricatures of Mohammed that were published in Denmark and other European countries. Rioters threw stones at police and attempted to burn the Danish flag near the Shechem gate to the Old City. Border police fired shock grenades to disperse the mob. No injuries were reported.
I completely agree.
After first taking a quite cautious attitude, I have now come to feel that it is incumbent on free Western media to deliberately break the taboo on dipicting the Prophet.
I'd like to see a lot of somber cartoons along the lines of some eye-shaded editor type telling the Prophet (drawn as a cartoon but not a ridiculing caricature) that Islamic taboos do not bind non-Islamic people.
Showing too much deference is as dangerous as deliberately baiting them. I think they must feel pretty puffed up right now having backed down most Western media, nearly all U.S. media. (Who would ever have expected that the backbone would be in Europe?)
I am waiting for them to bash jesus, oh wait, they have and do every time they pray to hell and moon the heavens.
Was it IDF troops that did the grafitti? IF not the what the heck is the IDF doing appologizing? Who rioted?
Christians are being martyered all over the world even today, yet I don't see Christians rioting. Christian Churches were burned in Alabama recently - I don't see any rioting for that. JEws are murdered in cold blood every day by Muslims - and I don't see the Jews rioting. The closest to a Jewish riot I have seen is the civil disobedience by the Jews that were being removed forcibly by the Israeli government from land they were GIVEN and ALLOWED to settle in by the same-said government.
ditto
Idiots. If only they had the nads their ancestors did in medina. Just think how different things would be if they had the weapons the IDF has today.
They are just following Muhammed's lead, though. History records that Muhammed led raids on Arabian villages. Eventually, the villagers gave up fighting him and made peace with him.
I'm hoping we don't make the same mistake.
We could just drop "Mohammed is a pig" leaflets from 10,000 feet and let nature take its course.
Good plan.
We could call it "Survival of the Craziest"
Is there any doubt? To bad the IDF didn't think before opening their mouth.
Just to try and make sense of who they claim Mo and Allah to be requires they bash Jesus.
They deny His deity and his resurrection. He was just another prophet, but a lesser one than Mo---Talk about insults, for any sane mortal to be called less than that murdering scum, but the Son of God? Yet they get off with impunity.
It's high time we start calling them on their offenses and stop letting them bully and whine to get their way all the time. And the same goes for the homofascists and all others who have exploited their "minority" and "victim" status waaaay beyond reason.
You don't think a muslim did this to have an excuse to riot, do you?
I seriously doubt even that would stop the media showing the footage of the destruction, while at the same time saying Islam is a religion of peace. If a nuke is going to go off, I hope vaporizes the NYT building at least, and an anual meeting of all it's journalists is going on at the time... traitors all.
What have they done to deserve such an insult, indeed?!?!!?
We could have even more fun. Grab a bunch of these religious leaders and tattoo pig koranic messages on their cheeks. Turn them loose into society and see the human pinata's at work.
The IDF apologized for the graffiti
But it is ok to bulldoze a synagogue""
WHY is the IDF apologizing?
Does anyone KNOW who did this graffitti?
I wouldn't put it past the Muzzies to do it themselves, just to incite trouble.
Great cartoon!!!
As Homer says, Pigs are a magical beast and taste so good!
It won't be long before Muzzies demand nasty pork be hidden out of view in grocery stores because the sight of it offends them. There has already been some noise about it. Now that they know rioting works, expect more of them for every reason.
Pigs everywhere raise their squeals in protest!
Everyone should get a pet pig to walk around, especially if there are a lot of muzzies in the 'hood. I wonder if a muzzie would start smoking and dissolve if it stepped in pig poo?
Here are links to three faked cartoons the mohammedans are using to inflame others. These are not a part of the origional 12.

Just find the one in the Arab town who can read and write, and you will have nailed him.
