Another Honor Killing

When Abdalla Yones learnt that his 16-year-old child, Heshu, had begun seeing a Christian teenager he stabbed her 11 times. After breaking down the door of the bathroom where she had barricaded herself in, he slit her throat leaving her to bleed to death.

How can a father kill his own daughter?

Israel's Peculiar Position

In 1968 the LA Times ran the following article, written by Eric Hoffer, a former longshoreman and non-Jewish American social philosopher. Born in 1902, Hoffer died in 1983, after writing nine books and winning the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Although written 34 years ago, the following is as timely and applicable today as then.

Why must Israel be measured by a different standard?

Egypt attempts to close Copt church and Christians fear government plans to turn it into mosque

Egyptian state and central security officers and soldiers attacked a small historic Coptic church in Assiut during Mass, arresting several deacons and others, throwing communion bread on the floor and stepping on it with their boots, according to reports received by the U.S. Copts Association.

Observers say Islamic extremists have successfully infiltrated all branches of the Egyptian government, resulting in repeated attacks on Copts, their churches, and properties by members of the Egyptian government.

Arafat diverted $900 million USD

An audit of the Palestinian Authority (the watered-down name of the PLO) has revealed that "President" Yasser Arafat had diverted $US900 million in public funds to a special bank account he controlled and most of the money was later invested in Palestinian assets, an International Monetary Fund official said today. But the IMF official did not rule out the possibility of the remaining funds being misused, saying he believes an audit of the remaining funds will be conducted later.

Arafat, the murderer, is also a thief? Who woulda thunk it?

Suicide Bombers were released by Israel half a year ago

Israel Radio reported [September 11, 2003] this afternoon that the two Hamas suicide bombers who attacked on Tuesday had been released from administrative detention around half a year ago. Israel had held them under administrative detention because they were activists in the Muslim Student's Association.

15 Things I Don't Understand about the Mideast Peace Process

A terrific article from AISH, that brilliantly details the mendacity, the contradictory and most importantly, the murderous intent of Palestinian Arabs regarding Israel and Jews.

Quotes

"…The Jews always set a trap for the community of Muslims… The Koran repeatedly warns against the traps and plots of the "people of the book". They relentlessly scheme in all times and places and this is what they do today and tomorrow against the Muslim camp…"

--- excerpt from the weekly Friday prayer sermon at Al-Aqsa mosque broadcast on the official PA radio station the Voice of Palestine, October 24, 1997

Arafat and the PLO have both got to go

Arafat has gotten away with bloody murder, not only of innocent Israeli men, women, and children, but also of U.S. diplomats, and dozens of other Americans.

When Palestinians and Palestinian terrorist apologists state that Arafat represents the Palestinians, we have to agree. When we think of Arafat, images of battle fatigues and camoflauge come to mind. Yup, Arafat wears a holster while negotiating "peace".

Thank you, Arafat, for cementing the image of Palestinian Arabs as war mongering, emotionally hysterical, rascist thugs with bombs strapped to their waist sides.

The next time a terrorist apologist whines that Arabs are perceived in the media as killers, heck, I'll just point them to Arafat's Reuters publicity photo.

Thanks, guys, for making our work so terrifically easy.

Islamists target Morocco's Jews

Violent Islamists (are there any other kind?) have murdered two members of Morocco's shrinking Jewish community in the past four days and look set to drive out most of the remaining members of a community whose history stretches back centuries.

Where is the outrage by the mostly Muslim United Nations? Kofi? Hello? Anyone there?
