Muslims ransack Christian village

KHALED ABU TOAMEH, THE JERUSALEM POST Sep. 5, 2005

Efforts were under way on Sunday to calm the situation in this Christian village east of Ramallah after an attack by hundreds of Muslim men from nearby villages left many houses and vehicles torched.

The incident began on Saturday night and lasted until early Sunday, when Palestinian Authority security forces interfered to disperse the attackers. Residents said several houses were looted and many families were forced to flee to Ramallah and other Christian villages, although no one was injured.

The attack on the village of 1,500 was triggered by the murder of a Muslim woman from the nearby village of Deir Jarir earlier this week. The 30-year-old woman, according to PA security sources, was apparently murdered by members of her family for having had a romance with a Christian man from Taiba.

"When her family discovered that she had been involved in a forbidden relationship with a Christian, they apparently forced her to drink poison," said one source. "Then they buried her without reporting her death to the relevant authorities."

Why am I hearing crickets?

Where is the outrage?

I'm going to be bold and suggest because it didn't happen on "American soil". Very sad.

The saddest thing is that while it didn't happen on our soil, it could.

We saw the nation react regarding Katrina, and the Lord knows this isn't the last catastrophee that will ever hit the US.

We are spoiled and think there is no end to our wealth and good fortune.

It can all go in a moment.

And if it does, who knows who might take over.

Could be folks who won't tolerate Christianity.

We don't know.

No kidding. Since the Muslim/Palestinian sympathizers can't blame this on Israel, they are strangely silent.

Notice that they are called "Muslim" attackers. The article is careful not identify the hundreds of attackers as Palestinians. Its as if some generic group of Muslims committed this atrocity. This wasn't some little group of 10 or 15 fanatics, it was hundreds.

What's worse is they are avenging the death of a woman killed by her own family in a different village simply for having a relationship with a Christian. Instead of taking their vengence out on her Muslim killers, they use this as an excuse to attack a village of Christians who had nothing to do with anything.

I expect the Left wing media, and all the voices at the UN to be raised in a unanymous shriek of protest at any moment..............("chirp" "chirp" "chirp")

Muslim, because those attacked were also Palestinians, Christian Palestinians. If you hate all Palestinians as much as most of your posts suggests, you presumably have little sympathy for the victims of this crime. I have no problems in condemning these fanatics. My sympathy goes to the victims of all crimes of bigotry.
