Here’s a follow up to my last post on the teddy bear named Muhammed. The latest information on the teacher who is accused of naming a teddy bear “Muhammed” (actually she didn’t, it appears that one of her Muslim students did and her “crime” was “allowing” it to be named) is that people are rioting in the street and threatening to kill her.
A quick peak into the mind and logic of the islamist terrorists that are fomenting the riots reveals … nothing. An article at WND.com reviews their thought processes and then looks at their hypocritical stance on offending a religion.
While Gibbons has been the target of violent street protests in Sudan, the jihadi leaders’ threats mark the first time Mideast terror groups responded to the high-profile case.
“I pray to Allah that I could have the opportunity to go to Sudan with my brothers to slaughter this unbeliever Christian. We ask the Sudanese to execute her in [the] hardest way. Any execution must be public; she must be stoned or fired on and the punishment must be harsh,” Abdel-Al told Klein. …
While the Mideast terrorists were quick to accuse Gibbons of insulting Islam, they sung a different tune when asked by Klein to account for rampant Muslim desecration of other religions’ holy sites, with some desecrations carried out by the very militants Klein interviewed.
In one instance, when Israel evacuated the Gaza Strip’s Jewish communities in 2005 but left behind 20 synagogues, Palestinian mobs destroyed the Jewish structures, including two major synagogues in Neve Dekalim, the largest Gaza Jewish community. Israel says it left the synagogues since Jewish law prohibits destroying the holy structures.
In front of international camera crews, the Palestinians ripped off aluminum window frames and metal ceiling fixtures from the Neve Dekalim synagogues, which were situated close to each other in the center of town. Members of Hamas and Abdel Al’s Popular Resistance Committees reportedly flew the Palestinian and Hamas flags from the structures before mobs burned down the synagogues. …
“We are proud to turn these lands, especially these parts that were for long time the symbol of occupation and injustice, like the synagogue, into a military base and source of fire against the Zionists and the Zionist entity,” said Abdel-Al.
Asked how he can justify complaining about non-Muslims allegedly insulting Islam when his group desecrated synagogues, Ablel-Al blamed Israel for the Jewish structures’ molestations:
“The Zionists left these so called synagogues in order to make that one day media outlets like WorldNetDaily would raise the pathetic and rude argument about what we have done to the poor Zionists holy places. (Israel) left the synagogues behind so the world would see the Palestinians destroying them,” he said.
He said the synagogues were not holy since Judaism and Christianity were “falsified” and that “Islam came to correct all other fake religions.”
Further on in the article, one can see that an offense which brought the western world to a near standstill with hand wringing and self flagellation, along with Muslim cries of anti-Muslim hatred has been essentially ignored when committed by Muslim terrorists.
In 2002, Fatah terrorists fleeing an Israeli antiterror operation ran inside Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity – the believed birthplace of Jesus and one of the holiest sites in Christianity – where the gunmen took nuns and priests hostage and holed up inside the church for 39 days. After the siege ended, there were widespread media reports, including video footage, the Nativity church had been left in shambles. …
A Roman Catholic priest trapped inside told the Times some Bibles were torn up and used as toilet paper.
A similarly barbaric desecration of the tomb of Joseph — one of Judaism’s holiest sites — is also described in the article. In their attempts to damage or remove all Jewish relics on the site, Muslim adherents gouged out symbols and carvings in the rock walls, they painted over the rock dome, they destroyed books and prayer stands, and then actually converted the synagogue at the site to a mosque. When questioned, the leader of the group that committed these atrocities ignored the substance of the questions and blamed Americans and Jews.
You Jews and Americans are the animals who do not respect holy sites. … You are the animals who desecrate holy books and the holy Quran in prisons like many of our heroic prisoners witnessed.
A complete lack of reason seems to mark anything the islamists say or do. They ignore the profound hypocrisy and contradictions that typify their lives and beliefs and blame any problems they have on “the JEW™” or the two great Satans America and the U.K.
They appear to accept the notion that they are justified in attacking, murdering, burning, and butchering anyone or anything that has done anything they deem offensive, no matter how slight the offense. If, however, Muslims destroy and desecrate another religion’s holy places, shrines, relics, books, or writings, that’s quite acceptable.
As they see it, that religion had it coming because, that religion is fake or an imposter. Those religions — even those that predate Islam, like Judiasm and Christianity — have only built their shrines or written their holy texts as an affront to Islam and as props to fuel anti-Muslim reporting in the western press. In the vacant minds and arguments of islamists, they could not possibly have another meaning or use. Therefore, they do not see a contradiction in screeching hysterically about “offenses to Islam” and calling for the death of a woman wrongly accused of giving a stuffed animal a name while openly advocating innumerable offenses against other religions and religious texts and artifacts.
Update (Dec. 5, 07): On the same note, it is not at all surprising to see Muslim officials casually destroying centuries old Jewish antiquities on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount and then denying that the remains of those antiquities constitutes a significant archaeological find. These relics appear to date back to the original temple that was built by Solomon. Admitting they are real would cause a great deal of difficulty for Palestinian claims that the Jewish people are “occupying” Palestinian territory and that the Jewish temple was not built in Jerusalem.
The irony here is that Muslim managers, trying to build new infrastructure on the site, actually used a backhoe to carve a 100m long and 1.5m deep hole in the Temple Mount area. It is their complete disregard for Jewish antiquities that unearthed the shards in the first place.
Thanks for the link to the WND story. What irks me is that so many leaders in the West keep repeating the mantra about their deep respect for Islam, and how they hope the teddy bear incident won’t harm relations, etc. etc. It should harm relations. We are up against of Islamofascists bent on destroying all that is, in their opinion non-muslim. And Nancy Pelosi donning a head scarf to meet with Syrian leaders will never bring peace. They hate us because they hate. That is their core belief, as the words of those quoted in this article clearly show.
Your post is very similar to my previous post on the issue.
It is simply disgusting to see otherwise intelligent, rational people bending over backwards to try and pretend that the actions of the Sudanese and other islamist fascists are somehow reasonable or understandable. Their actions are neither reasonable or understandable; they are barbaric, backward, and grotesque.
It is truly offensive to listen to our elected leaders acquiescing to the arguments that this woman had done something wrong. They bow and scrape at the feet of these sick butchers and “argue” that the teacher had “made a mistake” and that “she intended no offense.”
The real offense here is the actions of the terrorist goons and the people who are calling for her murder, abuse, and imprisonment for the “crime” of giving a teddy bear a name. The second offense is when reasonable people refuse to call the actions of the islamist goons wrong.
