Post-Zionist Jewish Academic Converts to Islam
Arutz 7 ^ | Hillel Fendel

Posted on 08/25/2008 11:20:05 AM PDT by Nachum

(IsraelNN.com) Dr. Uri Davis, who has often termed Israel an "apartheid state" and refused to serve in the IDF, converted to Islam about a week ago and married a Fatah activist in Ramallah. The conversion ceremony involved two oaths in which Davis recognized Allah and the Muslim prophet Mohammed. Davis said he plans to follow the laws of Islam, but not devoutly.

The conversion took place in a Moslem religious court in Baka el-Garbiye, an Israeli-Arab town just outside northwestern Samaria (Shomron).

Davis's lawyer explained that the Arabs of the Palestinian Authority know him for his great sacrifices on behalf of the "Palestinian problem" and the "realization of their rights." He noted that the consent of the Arab woman and her family to the marriage to a Jewish activist is an "admirable social development."

Just two months ago, David took part in an Arab-sponsored "Haifa Conference," billed as "defend[ing] a secular democratic state in historic Palestine." A summary of the conference written by Yoav Bar states that the Conference "was our moment to raise our heads from the exhausting daily struggle and promise ourselves and the world that the suffering of the Palestinian people may be brought to an end and there can be a bright future for everybody in Palestine after we get rid of the racist Zionist disorder."

Bar himself, an initiator of the Haifa Conference, is an Israeli member of the political bureau of Abnaa el-Balad - Sons of the Land, a secular movement that seeks the return of all Arab refugees, the abolishment of Israel as a Jewish state and the establishment of a Palestinian state in its place.

Dr. Davis gave one of the three Hebrew speeches at the Conference; the others were delivered by Yehuda Kupferman of the "Committee for a Secular and Democratic state in the Whole of Palestine," and Dr. Anat Matar, a leading supporter of the rights of Palestinian prisoners and the rights of Israeli youth to refuse to serve in the IDF.

Davis, who has described himself as an "anti-Zionist Palestinian Hebrew," has been advocating support for Palestinian issues for over 40 years, and was arrested more than once on charges of illegal activities in this connection. He is a founding member of the Movement Against Israeli Apartheid in Palestine, is a former member of the Executive Committee of the Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding, and is actually an Observer Member of the Palestine National Council.

He was already a Muslim in his heart anyway, he just made it official.

Well, then his head can stay attached to his neck, but not devoutly, when he breaks an Islamic law.

Gosh, sounds like the good doctor has figuratively lost his head and may lose it literally should he ever visit one of the neighboring muslim countries.

The palis won’t accept this former Jew as one of their own. It was different when he remained a Jew, because he was a novelty who could be used for propaganda purposes. Now? He’s just one more muzzie, but not a real one.

A traitor to Jews, and a traitor to Israel.

Now that he's no longer Jewish it shouldn't be tough for the Israeli government's “citizenship bureau” to yank his Israeli citizenship.Sounds like this clown would be happier living in Gaza...or Iran....than in an apartheid state.

“Davis said he plans to follow the laws of Islam, but not devoutly.”

Translation: Just devout enough to get his hands on large amounts of untreaceable Arab money...

Amazing, an honest Muslim! If only he’d admitted it before masquerading as a Jew for so long ...

The immortal Bugs Bunny put it best when he spoke about such a yahoo: “What a maroon!” The kindest words (the ones I can use that won’t get me a 7 day suspension) I can use for “doctor” Davis is that he’s a low-down, no-count scalawag that is lower than a rattlesnake’s bunion! May the Lord raise up three pro-Israel Christians and six true Jewish Israelis in his place.

Sounds like the type of guy that couldn't be a devout anything. Methinks this was all for a piece of tail.
