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.

Very brave, none too bright, or some combination thereof.

Those 40's and 50's "early age of porn" movies....weren't all the guys (Navy tattoos and black socks notwithstanding) dressed like Arab Sheiks? This is not new stuff.

On FR we have much more enlightened attitudes towards religion and pOrn.

What do they mean by "Harming the Honor of Islam"?
I thought you couldn't harm what doesn't exist.

If I were unfortunate enough to live in some God-forsaken sand goblin country...

And I starred in a homemade porno film...

And I posed in front of a Satan-Grotto...

And the moslems gave me an ass-whipping for doing so...

I'd pay a it return visit some moonless night and burn that piece of shit to the ground.

But that's me...

Islam and its followers are barbaric. The faith, like its people, have never gotten out of the 1200's. The only way this type of violence stops, is to eradicate islam.

I dunno. I was born in 1953. Now most of my porn days are behind me, praise be to Him, God willing, Allah Akbar.

Well, the only way to really get their goat, so to speak, would be to stage an ORGY before teh mosque. Film it. THEN burn it to teh ground.
"The first castle, sank into the swamp!"

[Darksheare]

teh = THE.
I really need to pay attention to the keyboard there....

[ConsistentLibertarian]

Maybe horny and entrepreneurial.

[ConsistentLibertarian]

Eradicate how? By killing all muslims? Then burning any book that makes any reference to Islam?

[FITZ]

I think not too bright.

So "Islam is insulted" by a horny Palestinian couple out to make a few dollars by making a movie, but somehow homegrown Pallie homicide bombers killing hundreds of innocent people in the name of their false God isn't insulting? A very sick cult, that Islam.

I'm with you cardinal,

" what we gat hey're.., is failure to communécate.

Icklam = a psychotic rabid dog & must be put down.

"...stage an ORGY before teh mosque. Film it..."

A good old down-home heterosexual orgy would be out of place in a mosque...

You'd have to go with a child porn or bestiality theme in a place like that.

[Mr. Mojo]

bestiality theme

Perhaps "Deep Goat"
