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.
ROTFLMAO
If someone nuked Washington DC, would that end the United States?
Uh, no. And therein lies an important difference. The United States has much substantial basis in objective thought and practice. Those pillars stand, very much independent of any icons. Islam, on the other hand, is a hyper-superstitious cult which thrives on its icons and implodes without them. So I don't like the analogy at all (notice I did not insult you by calling it absurd or fatuous or ignorant or misinformed or moronic -- nor should I, since I do not know you nor all the vagaries and permutations of what it was that you meant; plus, for all I know, you may be the world's leading expert on Islam and know things about it that I don't, having only made a mere 30-year study of it).
If someone nuked The Vatican, would that end Catholicism?
Uh, no. And therein lies the most significant difference. Again, I don't see the analogy. Catholicism, despite its minor dalliances with various icons, ultimately stands or falls on the Gospel, which is the Good News that the bad news of man's fallen condition has been remedied, for those who believe, by God's forgiving and loving heart and the power of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, His Son. Nuking the vatican would not change that. The Apostles' Creed would still read in the same way, and so would the Bible.
Not so, though, with Islam. A religion with Five Pillars-reduced-to-three would collapse. So would a religion whose adherents universally hold that Allah exerts supernatural protection over the Grand Mosque and the Ka'aba, in the event that it were all vaporized.
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.
What we have here is a fairly large straw man which I did not build. It is a rather large jump to go from a pissed-off Israel nuking Medina and Mecca in response to some dastardly deed committed by Islam or its elements against Israel, which is what I wrote, to uniting the Muslim against the Christian world, as you adduced without warrant.
By the way, contrary to your assertion, the Muslim world is united against the Christian world. The anti-Christian verses in the Koran are sufficient for that, and, if they were not, their wild-eyed equating of Christianity with the Medieval Crusades would seal the deal.
No, THAT'S what you said.
Once this makes it rounds thru the mid east...casual Burqa Fridays in Afganistan will never be the same!
Mohammed scribbles ...
Yes, it shows a pig named mohammed writing the original koran, but the pig is using a pencil.
I thought the author used his hoof, dipped in pig excrement, to finger-paint that first edition...
Since the vast majority of Bush-Bots are thumpers,I wonder how much longer they are going to be willing to swallow Ali Bubba's proclamations about "Islam is a religion of peace"? Sooner or later they are going to turn on him,even though they don't have anywhere else to go.
So why is Ali Bubba wanting to bomb and invade Iraq,then? Asprin factory envy? Or could it be to take people's minds off the fact the economy is tanking,and he has done nothing but bust the budget since his first day in office? Nothing like a little bait and switch. When he finally has to admit the economy is in trouble and the budget is hopelessly out of balance,he can then blame it on having to spend money to fight the "war on terrorism". I can already hear the Bush-Bots saying,"Well,Bubba-1 destroyed the military,so Bubba-2 had no choice but to spend all those billions to build it back up!". They will say this in full denial that he had busted the budget with pandering LONG before the upcoming war got started.
Hey,maybe his bestest buddies in the Saud Royal family can lend us a few billion?
Nor do most homosexuals, lesbians, buddist, hindus and the rest of the satan serving crowd. But that does not alter the fact that what I posted is God's honest truth. I would rather post God's truth than political correct horse droppings.
But I do thank you for you concern.
Thats a good start.
Al-Sam-Addam Brewing Company, Jenin, Palestine sponsors? BTW, I think the better word is "nude", which has a sensuous connotation vs. "naked", which means unclothed but rather conveys a sense of being unprotected, exposed.
