I thought Muslims only hated pigs and dogs? Apparently, they hate mice, too ??

27-year-old Israeli man was savagely beaten and nearly killed after taking a wrong turn into an Arab neighborhood in northern Jerusalem

Local residents who were out on the streets immediately began pelting Nachshon’s vehicle with stones after identifying him as a Jew. Nachshon was then pulled from his van and brutally beaten about the head before being rescued by one of the village leaders.

(That he was saved by a Muslim man still doesn’t change the fact that no muslims should be permitted to live in the Jewish capital. Period.)

 Israel Today - Nir Nachshon, a moving company employee, was trying to reach the Jewish town of Ma’aleh Adumim on Jerusalem’s eastern outskirts when his GPS device mistakenly directed him into the Arab neighborhood of Issawiya.

The muhtar (village leader) of Issawiya protected Nachshon from further attack until an Israeli Border Police unit arrived and rushed him to a nearby hospital. He is currently in stable condition. On numerous occassions over the past year Israeli Jews have errantly entered Arab neighborhoods in eastern Jerusalem only to narrowly escape with their lives.

Israeli commentators say the younger generation of Arabs has been so radicalized by a Palestinian school system full of anti-Jewish incitement that they will try to kill any Jew on sight. Police officials have lamented that Arab parents suffering either from indifference or fear of appearing to be “pro-Jewish” typically do nothing to prevent the younger generation’s violent ways.

 If you were to Tweet a  picture depicting Mickey and Minnie Mouse dressed in religious garb, say as a nun and priest, respectively, you might be met with a raised eyebrow. But if your Mickey sports a long, traditional Islamic beard and Minnie wears a face veil, in Egypt, you’ll be met with a call to “cut out the tongue of any person who attacks our religion.”

You’ll also be sued, have your businesses boycotted and be the target of multiple Facebook hate-pages started just for you…

The Blaze - An Egyptian Christian telecom mogul has angered Islamic hard-liners by posting an online cartoon of Mickey Mouse with a beard and Minnie in a face veil.

The ultraconservative Islamists, known as Salafis, called the cartoon posted by Naguib Sawiris on Twitter a mockery of Islam. They launched an online campaign calling on Muslims in Egypt to boycott Sawiris’ mobile phone company Mobinil. Shares of Mobilnil and Orascom Telecom, which Sawiris chairs, both fell Monday on the Egyptian stock exchange.

 

Sawiris, who is also a politician, promotes a secular Egypt. He owns media companies and after Mubarak stepped down on Feb. 11, he launched a political party that calls for separation of state and religion. After the cartoon posted a few days ago stirred complaints on Twitter, Sawiris tweeted an apology on Friday and claimed he was joking. “I apologize for those who don’t take this as a joke; I just thought it was a funny picture; no disrespect meant. I am sorry,” he tweeted.

But new Facebook groups cropped and quickly gained more
than 60.000 followers, calling for a boycott of his widely used cell phone company. Named “We are joking Sawiris,” the Facebook group said: “If you are really a Muslim, and you love your religion, boycott his projects. We have to cut out the tongue of any person who attacks our religion.”

At least 15 Salafi lawyers have filed lawsuits accusing Sawiris of religious contempt, an official at the prosecutor general office said. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Another Facebook group named “We hate you Mickey Sawiris” depicted the Egyptian businessman as a Mickey Mouse. The group’s motto is: “No to mockery of Islam.”

 

The cartoons are another source of sectarian tensions, which have already xploded into violence on a number of occasions in the chaotic, post-Mubarak transition. 

A Salafi cleric Mazen el-Sersawi appeared on television and scolded Sawiris. “Shame on you,” he said.

“How can a man like this make fun of Muslims, in a country on the brink of sectarian discord,” he said. “If this is just joking, why don’t you depict Mickey Mouse as a monk or a nun?”

In the broad spectrum of Islamic thought, Salafism is on the extreme conservative end. Saudi Arabia’s puritanical Wahhabi interpretation is considered its forerunner, and Saudi preachers on satellite TV and the Internet have been key to the spread of Salifism in Egypt.

Salafists are distinguished by the way they dress. In many parts of Cairo, women wear the “niqab,” a veil which shows at most the eyes rather than the scarf that covers only the hair. The men grow their beards long and often shave off mustaches, a style said to imitate the Prophet Muhammad.

The cyber campaign against Sawiris showed how uncomfortable his secular campaign has made Islamists. It also could lead to polarization in the streets ahead of crucial parliament elections set for September.

“Conservative”, “right wing”, “extremists”??? Salafists!!! Emulators of Moe, that’s all. They are mainstream Muslims, nothing more; nothing less. Islam is salafism.
33:21. Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh (Muhammad ) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allâh and the Last Day and remembers Allâh much.

OMG! OMG! Mr. BNI just came home and gave me devastating news. When he got off the elevator on our floor, he saw 2 Muslim bagheads get into the elevator. I hope they were only visitors and not owners. Although I don’t know who they would be visiting here? Lots of Jews and Italians in this building, no ragheads as far as I know. Not many blacks who might be muslims either. You know I will get in trouble if I ever encounter them on this floor. I’ll have to ask the concierge what he knows about them. Maybe I’ll check the names on the doors to see if there are any muslim names. God forbid. Sheeesh, they are like cockroaches, can’t get away from them.

Diane, you damn well better refuse a Muslim doctor. I did in the emergency room when I had a punctured lung. In the UK, Muslim women nurses/doctors have sanitation problems. Here’s the story: http://barenakedislam.wordpress.com/2010/04/11/uk-national-health-service-exempts-muslims-from-superbug-prevention-standards/.


they never stop complaing-we know they hate. just that, these people’ hate’ . they are haters of even their own people. islam the religion of hate. fuck i’m sick of their crap why aren’t other people seeing this??????

Have you noticed, I know I have, that you didn’t really see or hear to much about muslims until the dummy Obama became president? Now I see and hear about them all the time and all over the place..Muslim roaches.
Do you need a permit to have a handgun in the house? Where I live you just need one to conceal carry, which I do and we don’t need one to have a handgun in our vehicles, which I do, and will use it if I have to..
And BNI if you have those roaches I feel sorry for you. Just fry some Bacon and have the smell blow out under your door using a fan..
Peace to all non-muslims who feel sorry for BNI getting roaches in their building.

Here in Hong Kong there are some muslims working as labourers, in this case the guy would have helped tiling my roof terrace. But as a woman and knowing exactly what they think about me, (that beard and wearing a tent? Might as well wear a KKK outfit, which is what incidentally I think a burqa *really* is) I wouldn’t have him in the house. I told the Chinese company owner up front so he knew where I stood. Fair and square, because I’m the one paying for the work. Also got the chance to educate the Chinese boss a little about the world.

Cecilie- Your comment about the “deeply tiresome people” was perfect. The lengths they will go to, just to be offended, is truly without parallel anywhere!
BNI Oh no! Put on your black clothes, and remember the flashlight.
I would definitely suspect Mr. BNI of trying to get you off the scent. I am visualizing Ricky Ricardo, trying to foil one of Lucy’s hair brained ideas, though this is serious business! Just don’t get stuck out on a ledge!
I think that the concierge is the route to go. They know EVERYTHING. Or, the doorman…
Just be careful, while snooping!
Wouldn’t it be odd if they were reading your site right now and they saw you wandering the halls with a ham hock under your arm and one of those flashlight hardhats????
Seriously though, I truly hope your building hasn’t
Why would this idiot insult micky and minnie is what I want to know. If its taboo to even illistrate anything other than a pious muslim in this respect, I believe he did it intentionally. Well good for him to illistrate the stupid notion that somehow being a muslim is not the same thing as being “nuslim enough”, but to insult the western childrens icons is anothing alltogether.
Well he is in egypt isn’t he? that should say it all. He may be in favor of the seperation of the state and its relgion, but near as I can tell he is not doing himself and others around him any favors by being not muslim enough. So he should have anticipated the hatred for his act. Don’t feel sorry for him though, maybe the idiots of the tribe of islam enough will off this politician, ( known liars in the first place) and do us all a great service to mankind, one less scumbag walking around and breathing our free air. One can only hope and pray. Semper Fi. keep the powder dry Patriots, the muslim enough idiots are calling us out, we must respond in kind.

been infected. That would be worse than horrible.Cecilie


But they were fine with the copyright ripoff of Mickey Mouse espousing islamonazism to fakestinian children with Farfel the Jihad Mouse
