RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) -- Arsonists torched a mosque in a West Bank village Monday, scrawling "revenge" on a wall in Hebrew and charring copies of the Muslim holy book in an attack that threatened to stoke tensions over deadlocked Mideast peacemaking.

Palestinians say they suspect hard-line Jewish settlers of setting the fire in the village of Beit Fajjar, near the city of Hebron. The attack is likely to hamper U.S. efforts to sustain month-old between Israelis and Palestinians, now deadlocked over settlement construction.

Sorry, Islamists...the Joooooooooos didn’t do this.

However, if you and your silly believers keep doing it to yourselves, for the first time, I’ll support you.

Keep building up and set your sorry sights on Mecca.

Might a setup, like the Reichstag Fire, to kickoff the new Infatada.

Yup.

That was the very first thing that entered my mind, too.

As if Israelis would enter the West Bank, torch a mosque, and then take some extra time to burn a few copies of MoHamHead’s “Mein Kampf” without being caught.

If the Arsonists whipped out some skillets & started frying some pork sausage & bacon, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, THAT would "pass the Smell Test."

“Palestinians say they suspect hard-line Jewish settlers of setting the fire in the village of Beit Fajjar, near the city of Hebron.”

This has got “Hamas” written all over it.Or maybe Reuters, given its track record for interactive and creative journalism.

Sounds like the deep fried Pork caught on fire and they are blaming the Jews.

You obviously haven’t been to the most orthodox Jewish areas of Jerusalem....Once you do, and all you need to do is walk around the streets looking like, well yourself, it becomes pretty obvious that the burning of a Mosque is not a particularly hard thing to do....Everything that happens in Israel is not a great big conspiracy to derail it. While I’m pro-Israel and I am saddened by the unfortunate situation they find themselves in (thanks to to Zero’s efforts to make things worse), its absurd to live in a fantasy where the civilians are not even capable of minor acts of violence...

“Sandmaggots Torch Own Mosque” would be a more accurate headline.

No spin there -- "copies of the Muslim holy book" instead of "copies of the Quran". Since the koranimals suspect someone, it's obvious that they know who they've recently wronged. Thanks SmithL.

Now if they could just get some Gentiles to smear pig entrails all over the site, maybe the muzlims will abandon their mosk.

Well that does it then, better start killing Jewish children with random missiles. Or setting IEDs near daycare centers. But wait, not near the Jewish hospitals as those are needed since they stole medicine from the moose-limbs....

This is what can happen if the domestic tranquility is constantly aggravated by Islam — a downward cycle.
