Muslimsk pogrom på kristne i Palæstina

Fra Haaretz:

At least 14 houses belonging to Christian residents of Taybeh, a West Bank village northeast of Ramallah, were torched by Muslims from neighboring Dir Jarir on Sunday, to avenge what they termed the dishonor of a Muslim woman.

According to Taybeh residents, several dozen young men from Dir Jarir descended on their village before dawn, torched the homes and destroyed a great deal of other property.

"The young men, who were holding Molotov cocktails, threw them at the houses, which began to go up in flames, one after another," said Buthaina Sha'aban, a Taybeh resident and the sister of the town's mayor. "They vandalized parked cars and beat village residents who went out into the streets. Entire families were thrown into the street after their homes were torched. Not much remains of their property. We urge all international, Israeli and Palestinian actors to intervene and protect village residents from the Muslim rage."

The attackers also torched stores, a farm and a gas station. The latter fire was put out before fuel tanks exploded.

Og hvorfor var muslimerne så vrede? Jo, de havde slået en muslimsk kvinde ihjel fordi hun havde forelsket sig i en kristen mand fra Taybeh. Bagefter havde de kylet liget ned og håbet at noget så ligegyldigt som et æresmord på en uskyldig kvinde ville blive overset. Istedet begyndte politiet at efterforske sagen.

Og hvad er så mere naturligt når man er ved at blive afsløret i sit religiøst betonte had end at prøve at brænde en kristen by ned til jorden?

Fy for satan.
