Islamic Hysteria > West Bank Muslims shoot Jew buying groceries and burn him alive; Hysterical mob beats and burns tourist to death for blasphemy accusation

 

Practicing the Religion of Peace in the West Bank


Muslims shoot and burn alive Israeli who was

trying to buy vegetables for his grocery stall

Further adventures from the moral high ground.

Israeli man shot and killed in his car in West Bank’s Qalqilya

in apparent terror

Times of Israel, June 22, 2024:

An Israeli civilian was shot in his vehicle by unknown gunmen in the West Bank city of Qalqilya on Saturday and later died of his wounds, the Israel Defense Forces said. A large military force entered the city after the incident.

On Saturday afternoon a military source said the deadly shooting appeared to be a terror attack.

In the evening he was named as Amnon Muchtar, 67, of Petah Tikva.

Pictures posted to social media showed his vehicle was later set ablaze.

Earlier the army had said it was probing the shooting along with police as a potential terror attack, but was also exploring the possibility it could have been criminally motivated.

After Muchtar was shot, Palestinian Red Crescent medics transferred him to an Israeli ambulance for treatment in critical condition, but he died of his wounds.

It was unclear what Muchtar was doing in Qalqilya. Israelis are barred from entering West Bank areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority. The Kan public broadcaster reported that he may have been vegetable shopping.

Despite the ban, some Israelis continue to enter PA cities where prices for goods and services are significantly cheaper than in Israel….





Pakistan: Muslim mob lynches tourist over claim

he desecrated Qur’an, torches police station

The idea behind this outpouring of violent rage is to frighten people to the extent that they will never dare to insult Islam again. Which is not to say that this “blasphemy” happened at all. The accusation is enough.

Pakistani mob lynch tourist over allegations he

desecrated Islamic holy texts

Jerusalem Post, June 22, 2024:

Police in north-western Pakistan launched a search on Friday for hundreds of individuals involved in a mob attack which saw a tourist murdered and his body burnt over allegations he desecrated a copy of the Quran, according to multiple media reports.

Mohammad Ismail was being held in a police station on Thursday night over accusations he burnt several pages of the Quran, the Associated Press reported while citing police official Zahid Khan. Hundreds of people then swarmed the station, abducting Ismail, beating him to death and burning his body.

Ismail’s body was recovered on a roadside after the attackers abandoned it.

The police station in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province which held Ismail was also burnt down, alongside several police cars, by the mob….

It is so easy to provoke devout Muslims to hysteria. Europe doesn't seem to realize this, but they will, soon.

New Documents: Tiananmen Square Protest Death Toll was 10,000

UPI -- The death toll in the Chinese army crackdown on the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests was 10,000 people, according to newly-released documents.

China's government has said between 200 and 300 civilians died in the pro-democracy uprising on June 4, 1989. The political protests had lasted seven weeks until the army, which included 27 armored personnel carriers, was sent in.

But recently unsealed U.K. diplomatic cables sent at the time of the uprising now shed doubt on those estimations.

"Minimum estimate of civilian dead 10,000," reads the final sentence of a secret diplomatic cable: written on June 5 from Alan Donald, Britain's ambassador to China at the time. He said the figure was based on someone who "was passing on information given him by a close friend who is currently a member of the State Council."

The council is run by the premier.

The cables, held at the National Archives in London, were declassified in October, They were seen by the HK01 news site.

The document describes in detail the massacre. Wounded female students begging for their lives were allegedly were bayoneted, human remains were "hosed down the drains" and one mother was shot attempting to help her injured 3-year-old daughter.

"Students understood they were given one hour to leave square but after five minutes APCs attacked," he wrote. "Students linked arms but were mown down including soldiers. APCs then ran over bodies time and time again to make 'pie' and remains collected by bulldozer. Remains incinerated and then hosed down drains."

Activists in Hong Kong and Taiwan commemorate the anniversary date each year.

All activists' commemorations of the event are banned in mainland China. The government also regulates online discussion of the incident, including censoring criticism.

In November 2016, a peaceful pro-democracy march that drew thousands of people in Hong Kong turned violent. They had marched 2 1/2 miles across town to oppose Beijing's decision to determine the fate of two lawmakers who called for outright independence of Hong Kong from China.

Jordan Pilot Hostage Moaz al-Kasasbeh 'Burned Alive'

In an act of unspeakable horror and evil, IS has made it clear that there is no going back to the world as it was. There is an evil among us that is nearly unprecedented and it will not be eliminated by the efforts of man; it will require the very presence of God to destroy it.

Lt Moaz al-Kasasbeh had been held hostage since his plane came down on 24 Dec.
A video published online by Islamic State (IS) militants claims to show Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh being burned alive.

The video, which could not immediately be verified, shows a man standing in a cage and engulfed in flames.

Lt Moaz al-Kasasbeh was captured when his plane came down near Raqqa, Syria, in December on a mission to support the US-led military coalition against IS.

Jordanian state TV confirmed the death and said he was killed a month ago.

The video posted online on Tuesday was distributed via a Twitter account known as a source for IS propaganda.

A relative of Lt Kasasbeh told Reuters news agency that the Jordanian armed forces had informed the family that he had been killed.

The BBC's Frank Gardner says that the video is clearly intended to shock.

The highly produced 22-minute film includes a sequence showing the Jordanian pilot walking at gunpoint amongst rubble apparently caused by coalition air strikes that targeted jihadists.

Jordan had been attempting to secure Lt Kasasbeh's release as part of a prisoner swap.

It had offered to free Sajida al-Rishawi, who is on death row in Jordan for her role in hotel bombings in Amman in 2005, in return for the release of Lt Kasasbeh.

The video emerged three days after another video appeared to show the dead body of Japanese hostage Kenji Goto.

The US state department said it was working to confirm the authenticity of the video.

US President Barack Obama said in a statement that if the video was real, it would be "one more indication of the viciousness and barbarity" of IS.

"I think it will redouble the vigilance and determination of the part of the global coalition to make sure they are degraded and ultimately defeated," he added.

Relatives had gathered around Lt Kasasbeh's father
The male members of the al-Kasasbeh family had been gathering every day at a community centre not far from the royal palace in Amman. Cousins, brothers and uncles maintained a vigil of support for Moaz's father, who sat anxious but dignified in a red chequered headdress and long flowing black robe.

After the murder of Japanese journalist Kenji Goto the mood darkened, and one of the pilot's uncles, retired police general Fahd al-Kasasbeh, was close to tears as he asked the BBC to help relay a direct appeal to the hostage takers.

There were family members who hoped Lt Kasasbeh would be treated with lenience because he was a Muslim, while others feared he'd be harshly dealt with as an enemy pilot. And all along on both sides of the argument was the nagging fear that no proof of life was received, no photographs and no video.

The family's reaction, of course, will be one of deep grief and distress. But in wider Jordanian society, there will be pressure for the government to hit back. An implicit threat to speed up the execution of IS prisoners in Jordanian jails, where some are already on death row, may now be carried out.
