Couple severely beaten for 'insulting Islam' after starring in porn movie

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.

I have no idea. But look at 139.

You guys have no sense of humor about the religion of evil, do you?
You actually buy the crap about islam being a religion of peace?
(Kill all infidels? An oath to an Infidel is okay to break? Ring any bells?)
You guys hate it when anyone has fun, just like the Puritan movement. They got together and decided that someone somewhere was having fun and by God, they must be stopped.

Let's drop videos from the sky. Maybe they can spend their time killing each other. Debbie does Dubai.

I think that the only difference between them and us, is that we don't have the nerve to do what we want to do.

If you're referring to the radio "stunt" of a couple allegedly doing the nasty in St. Patrick's Cathedral, or suspending a crucifix in urine, or the film "The Last Temptation of Christ" or the Israeli movies that portray Orthodox Jews as wife-beaters and jackbooted oppressors of poor helpless innocent Palestinians....

....the people who create this "art" do not get the crap kicked out of them, or strung up on a lamppost, or beheaded, or have fatwahs (anybody know the Catholic or Evangelical or Orthodox-Jewish equivalent of a fatwah?) declared on their lives.

You know, one Muslim cleric or another has been calling a Jihad on the west for the better part of fifty years.

Considering the fact that there are over a billion Muslims worldwide, and a few million here, you'd think we would have seen a lot more action from them by now.

We have the Founders to thank for that, they made damned sure that we would never have a theocracy.

Read the thread that I linked you to.

Had people felt that they could have gotten away with it, they would have done everything you said, and worse.

The only thing is there's no blacks or very different skin colors ---the USA is more mixed. Unless the photographer discriminated or something ---also they all seem to have darker hair but I can't really tell.

Great thinking Darks - dibs on the goats. You bring the video, allah willing there.

The only way this type of violence stops, is to eradicate islam.

That is so politically incorrect, it must be right. I happen to agree. It will eradicate itself. It will grow extinct from its own dastardly uselessness. An alternative would be that they piss the Israelis off w/ one of their unthinkably dastardly deeds, and the Israelis nuke Medina and Mecca. That would end their religion, for the religion which opposes idolatry so stridently is in truth the most idolatrous of all -- it idolizes those two cities beyond anything you can imagine. W/o those two cities, they HAVE NO RELIGION.

Maybe England ---but it reminds me why I don't have any interest in nude beaches.

Looking at that photo again, I noticed something very strange that I hadn't noticed at first glance. Check out the area a couple inches (on your screen) to the right of the very base of the tree on the left. There's a large blood-red splotch right in the middle of a pink mass, but the mass doesn't look humanoid. WTF is that?

Let's see if it plays in Peoria.

How do you think we should put down Islam like a rabid dog? Shoot all muslims?

Just the radical ones.

Those that stand up and denounce the acts of 9/11, them we leave alone.

Sometimes a minaret is just a minaret.

Read the thread that I linked you to.

I real the first 300 posts, but a lot of them were "removed by the moderator"

Had people felt that they could have gotten away with it, they would have done everything you said, and worse.

I assume that these were the posts that were deleted, since the worst thing that anyone suggested was trying to find some legal way to shut down the radio station. There is no way "according to Old Testament law" that these people could have been put to death, because there were no witnesses to the deed itself. The fact that they bragged about over the radio (to win a prize) in no way constitutes "proof" that they actually did what they said.

That said, I don't think that the St. Patrick's thread is any proof that Christians are "just as bad as" Muslims.

"...nuke Medina and Mecca. That would end their religion..."

That's an absurd statement.

If someone nuked Washington DC, would that end the United States?

If someone nuked The Vatican, would that end Catholicism?

What you would do by bombing these sites, is to unite the Muslim world against the Christian world, something that against all propaganda to the contrary, has not happened.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Let's find the homesexual threads in FR, or the Westerfield threads.

Are we as "bad" as the Muslims in this article?

Maybe not, but the posts sure sound like it.

You need to be careful about posting that passage. Jews don't believe Jesus is Christ either.
