When they're not busy getting the Dhimmicrats to bow their heads like a good Jizyah paying Dhimmi, they're rioting in Jerusalem over a renovation they perceive will damage the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Of course its ok for them to take the Nativity Church hostage, piss and shit, write graffiti on the walls but heaven forbid Israel tries to renovate parts of the Old City.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JERUSALEM — Hundreds of angry Islamic worshippers (are there any happy ones? ) threw stones and scuffled with police on Friday in an eruption of outrage over contentious Israeli renovation work at a disputed Old City holy site.

About 200 police streamed on to the hilltop compound known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as the Temple Mount, to try to quell the violence, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. Witnesses said police hurled stun grenades.

Several dozen protesters barricaded themselves inside the Al-Aqsa mosque at the compound, which is Islam's third-holiest site. The protesters are angry about Israeli repair work on an earthen ramp leading to the hilltop compound, which they fear will damage the mosque.

Police said several protesters and several officers were injured in the faceoff, but gave no further details.

The clashes erupted at the end of Friday prayers at the site. Police had braced for possible riots during the prayers, which often have been a flashpoint for clashes.

Israeli security forces tripled their usual numbers around the Old City Friday morning, expecting confrontations. Jerusalem police chief Ilan Franco told Israel Radio that around 3,000 security officers were posted around the city because of "intelligence indications" that disturbances could erupt.

Muslims Scuffle With Israeli Police Friday prayers at the site and is attended by thousands of Muslims every week. The compound sits just above the Western Wall, a remnant the second Jewish temple.

Israeli authorities promised that the plan to replace a centuries-old ramp damaged in a 2004 snowstorm would not damage the compound, about 60 yards way. But when work began earlier this week, it drew fierce protests in the Arab world, where many leaders accused Israel of plotting to harm Muslim holy sites.

On Thursday, a fiery Islamic leader appealed to fellow Israeli Arabs and Muslims around the world to rise up against the Israeli renovations.

"The aggression happening now is a tragedy, a crime," Raed Salah, a leader of the Islamic Movement in Israel, told The Associated Press. He accused Israel of declaring "a regional, religious war."

Israeli officials have said Muslim extremists are using the renovation work as a pretext to stoke anger against Israel. Speaking during a visit to Spain Thursday, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni accused "political extremists" of trying to "exploit this situation."

On Friday, though, a prominent Israeli archeologist weighed in against the project.

Meir Ben-Dov, who has led excavations near the Temple Mount, said the existing ramp should be renovated rather than replaced. The government, he added, lacked the proper construction permits.

"There is no reason to take any action there," Ben-Dov told Israel Radio.

An Israeli government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the construction project, rejected Ben-Dov's claim, saying "all legal issues are being addressed." The new ramp was needed because the old one is unsafe, the official said.

The compound, home to the golden-capped Dome of the Rock shrine and Al Aqsa mosque, is the third-holiest site for Muslims, who believe that it is where the Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven. For Palestinians and Israeli Arabs, it is also a focal point of national pride.

The compound is sacred to Jews as the site of their biblical temples.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said entrance to the Friday prayers would be restricted. West Bank Palestinians would be barred, as would Israeli Arab and east Jerusalem men under 45, he said.

Israel has controlled the compound since the 1967 Mideast War, but has left the administration of its Muslim holy sites largely to the Palestinians and Jordan.

On Thursday, U.N. ambassadors from the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference called on the U.N. Security Council "to take immediate and urgent action in order to bring an end to Israeli intransigence and violations against the blessed Al Aqsa mosque."

UNESCO issued a statement calling on Israel "to suspend any action that could endanger the spirit of mutual respect until such time as the will to dialogue prevails once again."

Those crazy fuckers would riot at the drop of a dime... "Look Akbar! The sun is up let's riot and break shit!"...

ALLAH AKHBAR MUHAMMAD JIHAD DURKA DURKA DURKA!!! *BLOWS SHIT UP*

Every place a Muslim sets foot is "holy"... after awhile you have to start to question their judgment.

"On Monday, October 8, 1990 at 10:00 A.M., half-hour before the beginning of the massacre, Israeli occupation forces began placing military barriers along various roads leading to Jerusalem in order to prevent Palestinians from getting to the city. They also closed the doors of the mosque itself and forbid Jerusalem residents to go in. However, thousands had already gathered inside the mosque before this time in response to calls from the imam of the mosque and the Islamic movement to protect the mosque and to prevent the “Temple Trustees” from storming it.

When the Muslim worshippers began resisting the Israeli group to prevent them from placing the”foundation stone” for their so-called temple, Israeli occupation forces began carrying out the massacre,using all the weapons such as poison gas bombs, automatic weapons, military helicopters, etc. The soldiers and Jewish settlers where firing live ammunition in the form of a continuous spray of machine-gun fire. The result was that thousands of Palestinian worshippers of various ages found themselves in a mass death trap. Twenty-three Palestinians were killed, and 850 others were wounded to varying degrees. The Israeli soldiers began firing at 10:30 A.M. and stopped 35 minutes later. They opened fire on the Palestinian worshippers randomly and in cold blood. Then they pursued them with clubs and rifles [outside the mosque].

Nurse Fatima Abu Khadir, who was wounded by a bullet which fractured her wrist, states, “We went into the mosque precincts in an ambulance. I saw a large number of injured who had fallen on the ground. Then I saw lots of soldiers, hundreds of soldiers. They were about 30 meters from the ambulance and kneeling on one knee the way snipers do, and their weapons were aimed inside the ambulance. After that I couldn’t see anything.”

News agencies described the blessed precincts of al-Aqsa Mosque saying that blood had covered “the entire two hundred meters between the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque. Blood was flowing everywhere, all over the wide steps, and had stained the white tile the length of the broad courtyard, as well as the doors of both mosques. The walls of the two mosques had long, crimson lines etched onto hem by bleeding hands, and blood had stained the white uniforms of the woman first-aid workers. Everyone - the wounded and the more fortunate, first-aid workers, journalists, and Israeli soldiers - all of them looked as though they were swimming in blood.

Physician Muhammad Abu ‘Ayila relates what happened to him and to a wounded man to whom he had been trying to administer first aid, and how the Zionists’ glee at the sight of Palestinian blood spilled in the precincts of the holy mosque had blinded their eyes so much that they couldn’t distinguish between a young child and an old man, between a man and a woman, between a wounded man and one seeking to treat him. He says, “I got out of the ambulance carrying a first-aid kit. I was wearing a white uniform. The soldiers saw me and knew I was a doctor. But when I got to the wounded person nearest me and bent down to treat him, I got three bullets in my back in the region of the kidney. At that very moment, the wounded man near me died. But he could have been saved if I hadn’t been hit.”

Most of the wounds, in fact, were in the head and in the heart.

Then, in a farce designed to justify the crime which had been committed by Zionists’ hands now stained with Palestinian blood, terrorist Yitzhaq Shamir, Prime Minister of the Zionist entity at that time, hastened to form a fact-finding committee which he called the “Zamir Committee” after its head, Tu’fi Zamir, former head of the Israeli Mossad. As for the outcome of the committee’s investigation, it was announced by Moshe Almert, head of the Media Office of the occupation government, who said, “The report confirms clearly that the responsibility and fault for escalating [the conflict] lies on the side of the thousands of Muslim extremists, who were attacking the holy place of the Jews.”

From http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/myths/mf20.html#a:

This is all based on the findings of the Zamir Commission, which you'll probably say is lie by the crafty jooooos, even though all aspects have been confirmed by Palestinians.

"The ostensible reason for the October 8, 1990, riot that led to the deaths of 17 Arabs, was that a Jewish fringe group known as the Temple Mount Faithful was going to attempt to lay a cornerstone for the rebuilding of the Temple.

The group had won the reluctant permission of police to march around the Temple Mount carrying Israeli flags. But seeing a large crowd of Muslims gather on the site, police revoked the permit to march. When the riot broke out, the "Faithful" were praying peacefully nearly a mile away.

Arab radicals had helped pave the way for the violence. Leaders of Fatah and Hamas were struggling to "mobilize an upsurge of the intifada in the neighborhoods of Jerusalem."22 When members of their groups heard calls from sheiks to "defend" the Islamic holy places, they mobilized on the Temple Mount.

"Once the violence began," the Washington Post reported, "Palestinian youths attacked police with a ferocity and persistence unprecedented in Jerusalem during the nearly three years of the intifada. Arab sources say the fervor of the youth can be connected to what had been a concerted campaign by Palestinian leaders in Jerusalem in recent weeks to step up the level of attacks, especially on police."

During the ensuing melee, rioters randomly lobbed stones in the direction of Jewish pilgrims, who were quietly saying Sukkot prayers in front of the Western Wall below. Jamal Nusseibah, the son of a prominent Palestinian professor, admitted people had brought stones with them to the Temple Mount in their school bags.



Two official Israeli reports were issued with regard to the tragedy. The first was the government-appointed Zamir Commission, which concluded that a rioting mob hurled stone and metal projectiles at police from close range, that the policemen's lives were in jeopardy and that they opened fire to defend themselves. The report criticized the Israeli police for their handling of the incident, in particular their lack of preparedness in dealing with a situation they could have foreseen would become violent. It is difficult to imagine any Arab government issuing a report making such scathing, public criticisms of the performance of its own police force.

Media accounts inaccurately reported that the second report contradicted the Zamir Commission's findings. Judge Ezra Kama's investigation confirmed Zamir on key points. Kama did not conclude that Israel "provoked" the riot. The report does say, however, that "3,000 Arabs, mostly youths, heeded the call [by Muslim preachers to come to the Temple Mount to 'defend' it]; that stones were prepared in advance; that the Muslim leadership knew that none of the Temple Mount Faithful would be allowed anywhere near the area, and in fact clearly saw them leaving almost an hour before the rioting began.""

For the record, a source that describes "the Zionists’ glee at the sight of Palestinian blood" is generally biased. Just sayin.

I'm pretty sure his artical was unbiased. I just found an article on NPR news detailing pretty much the same thing.

And it seems to me that you were trying to prove a point with the article you posted...

In related news, Jews are bitching on internet forums.

Support Israel. They're doing a good job killing muslims.

Doesn't matter if his article is biased or not HE is biased. All he posts are anti muslim threads. Even if the source is legit (it hasn't always been) the reason he is posting this is with a clear agenda. All these articles he posts are to prove a point. A prejudice point.

yeah, ive been wondering why his threads are not moved or locked. he does not post them to create discussion, only to justify his anti-muslim stance.

he almost _never_ posts in a thread he creates. he just furthers his hate and moves on, not interested in discussion.

Arabs try outreach to Israel, U.S. Jews

By Barbara Slavin, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — Arab states, led by Saudi Arabia, are making some of their most public overtures ever to Israel and American Jews in an effort to undercut Iran's growing influence, contain violence in Iraq and Lebanon and push for a Palestinian solution.

ON DEADLINE: Can the efforts succeed?

The high-profile gestures coincide with Saudi Arabia's lead role last week in brokering a deal for a coalition Palestinian government.

Last month, Prince Turki al-Faisal, Saudi Arabia's departing ambassador to the United States, attended a Washington reception sponsored by American Jewish organizations. The event honored a State Department diplomat appointed to combat anti-Semitism.

The appearance of a Saudi diplomat is "unprecedented," said William Daroff, Washington office director for the United Jewish Communities, which organized the reception.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have stepped up contacts with Israel and pro-Israel Jewish groups in the USA. The outreach has the Bush administration's blessing: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has said six Gulf states and Egypt, Jordan and Israel are a new alignment of moderates to oppose extremists backed by Iran and Syria. She has said an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal would weaken militants such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

Contacts have intensified as part of a strategy meant to undercut extremists and build momentum for a peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians, said Jamal Kashoggi, an aide to Saudi Prince Turki.

Judith Kipper, a Middle East expert at the Council on Foreign Relations, said, "What really concerns pro-U.S. Arab states is that Iran is setting the political agenda in the region."

Saudi and Gulf Arab contacts with Israelis and American Jews go back more than a decade but have never been so public. Arab countries have treated Israel as a pariah since it gained independence in 1948. Most Arab countries ban travel to Israel, investment there and other commercial ties with the Jewish state and routinely refer to it as the "Zionist entity."

Only three of 21 Arab nations recognize Israel: Egypt, Jordan and Mauritania. A 2002 peace plan put forward by Saudi Arabia offers diplomatic relations with the other 18 Arab states if Israel withdraws to the borders it had in 1967 — meaning giving up the West Bank and the Golan Heights — and cedes land for a new Palestinian state.

Among the other recent Arab-Jewish contacts:

•Saudi national security adviser Bandar bin Sultan met privately with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Jordan in September, said Daniel Ayalon, Israel's former ambassador to Washington. He said it was the highest-level Saudi-Israeli meeting he'd ever heard of.

•The United Arab Emirates has invited a delegation from the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. The conference, a 51-member umbrella group, is a strong supporter of Israel.

•Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Shimon Peres met the emir of Qatar in late January after taking part in a debate with Arab students there. It was the highest-level Israeli meeting with the Gulf nation since 1996, when Peres visited as prime minister.
