A delegation of U.S. congressmen in Israel was harassed by a large group of Muslim men during a visit to the historically significant Temple Mount in Jerusalem on Tuesday, according to a Jerusalem Post report.
Reps. Trent Franks (R., Ariz.), Keith Rothfus (R., Penn.), and Evan Jenkins (R., W.Va.), who was also joined by his wife, were approached by several Muslim men when they ascended the Temple Mount.
The men were surprisingly intolerant and belligerent, according to Rothfus.
Police had to break up multiple outbursts, one which was caused by outrage that Jenkins wife, who was wearing a long sleeve shirt and calf-length skirt, needed to cover up more.
The delegation said the harassment began when they ascended the Mount, and Mrs. Jenkins, who was wearing a calf-length skirt and a long-sleeved shirt was yelled at that she needed to cover up more, and police were needed to break up the melee and clear the way for the group to continue the visit.

Nice PC response, Congressman.
Maybe the folks who were behaving like this might want to do some self-examination. They really are not presenting themselves as very good ambassadors for their cause.
Their cause is to kill you and any other infidel they can, consider yourself lucky.
He should have done a ‘Rick Perry’ on them.
EXEMPT Republican liars
getting some ground-truthing?
“[S]urprisingly”? Really?
Getcher head outta yer ass, congress-boy.
(I really hope he sees this somehow. Staffers?)
This is just the beginning of the increase in tension, soon to break out in violence.
Now that the Pali Terror financial wing has billions coming through the front door, they’ll be looking for excuses to do subtle things like...take over the Temple Mount...(DOtR).
Were these muzzies of the “radical” or “peaceful” type? DO these congressmen even know?
Bet they were surprised. No. I'll bet they were gobsmacked.
Dear Ms. Jenkins....welcome to McNasty’s favorite fan club...get a grip on the new reality.
Jerussalem needs to move all the PLO rabble OUT! they belong in any of their own Muslim Krapistans, let them take their pick for all I care. they have proven OVER AND OVER AND OVER again taht they are incapble or at least unwilling, but most likely incapable of living in civilized society. Israel, get the OUT!
I hope these congressmen developed a little love for Islam on their trip. That love should be expressed by giving Muslims a fresh start, perhaps by supporting Israel in rebuilding the Temple. (And encouraging Israel to do so.)
“”surprisingly intolerant and belligerent, according to Rothfus””
Pathetic wimpy statement
bump
And not the first time expressed
From FEBRUARY 25, 2014 http://www.breakingisraelnews.com/11401/riot-erupts-temple-mount/
Earlier this week, U.S. Senator Bill Johnson (R-OH) and Congressman David McKinley (R-WV) visited the Temple Mount of a fact finding mission. Led by Rabbi Chaim Richman, International Director of the Temple Institute, the congressmen were shocked by the rough treatment they received while visiting the holy site.
We are pleased that Senator Bill Johnson and Congressman David McKinley were given a first-hand opportunity to observe the every day reality of the discrimination of non-Muslims on the Temple Mount, Rabbi Richman said.
We are confident that these men of integrity and moral principle were highly affected by the travesty of justice on the Temple Mount, and they expressed their belief that the majority of the American people are fully supportive of the right of the Jewish people to pray on the Temple Mount.

What kind of people are elected to congress, anyway?
The American Laws for American Courts bill has been reintroduced to the PA legislature. I wonder if Rothfus would like to stop by Harrisburg and put his stamp of approval on it before it dies in committee again.
One step above feces slinging monkeys.
“unexpected intolerance” ping?
Slander against monkeys.
Gone to a La Raza meeting ?
