A couple from the Arab village of Tira was severely beaten Sunday by a mob after a homemade porn film they participated in was distributed in the village. The cover of the film pictured the two people naked in front of a mosque.

The woman was in a serious condition and the man suffered light to moderate wounds.

According to Itim, police said that they became aware of the film one week ago and also learned that the outraged fellow villagers planned to punish the couple for "harming the honor of Islam." Police attempted to find the couple to protect them but were unsuccessful.

On Sunday police were alerted to the fact that the couple were in the center of the village, surrounded by an angry mob. The angry crowd tried to prevent the police from taking the couple away and police were forced to fire shots in the air to extricate the pair.

Two policemen were injured and four people were arrested.

Police said the couple had been taken to a hospital, but refused to divulge the name fearing for the safety of the two.

If it's the photraphic 'artist' that I think it is that did the pic, then it MIGHT be the USA. The guy I'm talking about just did a series like that here in New York.

Weren't Adam, and Eve Naked before God? So the islamist thinks nakedness before God is OK, but nakedness before a mosque is punishable by deadly beating. Strange religion indeed.

Could be. But there's women in the group, wholly unlike actual muslims.
So it might be that insane photographic idiot that I mentioned.
But it does fit with the sentiment.

"...I wonder WHERE it is ---it can't be in the USA..."

It's magnetic... I keep looking back, trying to make some sense of it.

And I can't.

It looks like England to me, or at least how I imagine the English countryside would look.

Linda, if you still have the original email of that photo, right-click on "properties" and see if you can determine its origin. I'd appreciate it :)

And, if you look closely, you'll see that a few of them have raised their heads.

I think I know why...

"Thing are not WHAT they seem," that is.

This is not a racist/bigoted question, but a logical one: what are the odds so many Arabs/Muslims would have hairless backs?

Hmm.. someone had some broccoli last night there?
