Muslim Mob Kills Six Christians In Ethiopia

An unprovoked attack during a midnight worship service. By Maria Mackay for Christian Today, with thanks to Twostellas:

The US-based human rights group International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned a mob of 300 Muslims killed six Christians in early October while 15 others were left seriously wounded by the attack during a midnight worship service in Beshasha, a town located in the Agaro province in Ethiopia.

On 14 October, a group of three hundred Muslims, carrying guns and knives approached the church where the Orthodox Christians were holding a midnight worship service. When the locked doors prevented the mob from entering the church they forced the congregation out of the church by pouring gasoline around the building.

The men of the church came out first and attempted to defend the men and women but because they had no real weapons in comparison to the guns and knives used against them they were attacked by the mob.

Fifteen individuals from the church suffered severe knife wounds and six people died as a result - two priests, two elderly women, and two men.

Two weeks later, the Ethiopian media announced that the police had arrested the leader of the massacre. But ICC warns that the violence against Christians continues to increase steadily despite the arrest.

Disgusting. Yet STILL no aid for Ethiopia. This will be repeated many times over when the crazies invade in full. Another ancient nation about to be destroyed by the supreme agent of destruction, thanks in part by the West.

I've been hoping that covert military aid advising has been going on for some time in Ethiopia.

Thank goodness it was only a moderate Muslim mob.

Where is the outrage from the Christian community? If this had been Muslims killed by Christians it would have been plastered all over the news!

I just want to say that I'm outraged at this!

http://doctorbulldog.wordpress.com

They were inspired to kill Christians by their book.

Qur'an 9:34 "Believers, there are many (Christian) monks and (Jewish) rabbis who in falsehood devour the wealth of mankind and hinder (men) from the way of Allah. And there are those who bury gold and silver and spend it not in Allah's Cause. (Muhammad) announce unto them tidings of a painful torture. On the Day [of Doom] heat will be produced out of that (wealth) in the Fire of Hell. It will be branded on their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs. ‘This is the (treasure) which you hoarded for yourselves: now taste it!'"

Remember, my fellow Jihad Watchers: As fast as this site can deliver the data of Muslim atrocities, the PC Multiculturalist template can keep humming along with smooth and untroubled efficiency, receiving the ever-increasing mountain of data in one end, and expelling out the other end two neat packages:

1) a squeaky-clean Islam,

and

2) a small minority of extremists who have hijacked #1.

More:

Qur'an 3:118 "O you who believe! Take not into your intimacy those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, and Christians). They will not fail to corrupt you. They only desire your ruin. Rank hatred has already appeared from their mouths. What their hearts conceal is far worse. When they are alone, they bite off the very tips of their fingers at you in their rage. Say unto them: ‘Perish in your rage.'"
Qur'an 4:48 "Allah forgives not that partners [Christ as God] should be set up with Him; but He forgives anything else, to whom He please; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin most heinous."
Qur'an 4:50 "Behold! how they invent lies against Allah! That is flagrant sin."

Notice the phrase, "When they are alone, they bite off the very tips of their fingers at you in rage." Trying to create hatred and suspicion about what goes on behind muslims' backs, stirring the pot.

IT HAPPENS NEARLY EVERY DAY

Sadly, this shocking news of the slaughter of Christians, who were doing nothing but worshipping and praying together, is also something that is happening all the time in Muslim and Communist countries worldwide.

American advisers, American weapons, American trainers, had better be in the Horn of Africa. I suspect they are. But not nearly enough, and not with the defined attempt to help not "Ethiopia" but the Christians of Ethiopia, not to help the "Sudanese" but those Sudanese, Christian and Muslim, who in being helped, including being guarded until they can vote on a referendum on independence for both the south and Darfur, will also push back the borders of Dar al-Islam, signal to black African Christians and other non-Muslims (and even to those black African Muslims murdered in the hundreds of thousands in Darfur and now in Chad, by Arabs, enforcers of the Arab Supremacism that was always part of Islam but has until now been insufficiently recognized).

The ridiculous squandering of men, money, materiel, in tarbaby Iraq, when the deployment of 5,000 men to the southern Sudan could do so much good, save so many lives, damage the Camp of Islam (not least by putting the oil wealth of the south in the hands of the non-Muslim southerners) is shown up yet again by the situation in that country, all the way down to Kenya (where Saudi-financed mosques are doing their predictable stuff).

We are ruled by the terminally stubborn and ignorant, who refuse to see what Islam is all about. And they are attacked, in turn, by others who are just as bad.

It's not to be believed. It's unbelievable.

This has to happen eventually.....

What would happen to ordinary Joe Bloggs here if i published a book with the same incitements to
intolerance,hate and violence that the Koran has ?
Kill this,kill that,behead,slaughter and maim...
I would be in court before i was another year
older !

Good point remote_control, but we have truth on our side. They have an agenda of lies and obfuscation that can not tolerate the light of day. As we continue to challenge their arguments, citizens of the western democarcies will be forced to think for themselves rather than meekly accept the nonsense spewed out by government, many academics and a large portion of the mainstream media.

They were inspired to kill Christians by their book.

Posted by: Carolyn2 at December 1, 2006 11:51 AM

Often when I hear about that evil book I think of a movie called "The Gods Must Be Crazy", where an African bushman stumbles across a bottle of Coke and all kinds of funny things ensue. The Koran is like that bottle-Mo stumbled across it and all sorts of evil ensued. The god that came up with that book WAS indeed crazy.

nyone thinks Islam is not simply a religion of terrorists needs his/her head examining. I cannot believe there can be reasonable Muslims. If they were reasonable they will reason it out and leave this sick cult immediately.

Anyone thinks Islam is not simply a religion of terrorists needs his/her head examining. I cannot believe there can be reasonable Muslims. If they were reasonable they will reason it out and leave this sick cult immediately.

This is disgusting. Islam certainly has a way of provoking violent behaviour in its adherents.

Thin skins+damaged brains=Islamic violence.

Prince charles as we speak is in Nigeria consolidating the British ties with the Moslem caliphate, with continued technical assistance. The Biafran war is yet to end, if you doubt this have an investigator the eastern part of Nigeria. the East is still occupied by the military and the federal police. The coalition between the Moselem North, the mixed West and the British against the Eastern Christians is still on.

Doctor Bulldog asks a very good question: where is the Christian outrage?

We each have to answer that question to ourselves. Obviously, we all are concerned about Islam and its unbridled wickness, or we would not be cruising the JW site.

If I may rephrase the question: To whom should we express our outrage to? The media? Our local communities? To fellow JW posters?

The most important Person, I think, to express our outrage is the one true God, who superintends all of His creation. He sees the injustices, in fact, He providentially allows all the injustices.

But, He also HEARS the prayers of His peoples, whether they are on the front lines being martyred for His Name's sake or from us who reads of these atrocities. He is definitely the primary One that we should address our outrage.

But does prayer alone totally satisfy our responsibilities? That is a daunting and sobering question. Perhaps, there is more that we should do before we and our children will be forced to fight these devils ourselves in our own streets. Expressing our disgusts in this forum does help as a catharsis, but...

Can you imagine if the Pope or Jimmy Swaggart or some prominent Christian speaker took the stage and started preaching about how we must kill 'the infidels' ie: Muslims? & then backed up their preaching with beheadings and bombings & suicide runs? Can you imagine Kofi Anan's reaction to that?

On a lighter note- remember that letter Mahmoud sent us all? Guess what? it was his prewar muslim requirement to offer the enemy the oppertunity to unconditionally surrender or else. Won't be long folks. http://sacredscoop.com

I have been told by a friend of mine that this sort of thing is happening on a daily basis in nearly every single African nation. The under-reported war going on in the Congo, for instance, I have been told is being waged and directed by Middle Easterners with sub-Saharan Africans carrying out much--but by no means all-- of the foot work. This conflict in the Congo has taken many more lives than even the ongoing, better-publicized jihad war in Sudan. By some estimates the loss of lives in the Congo by jihadists is well over four million.

The entire continent of Africa has become a battle zone against Islam, with Ethiopia one of many battle fronts. It is not a given at all that the United States (even with help from other allied nations) will be able to reverse the damage being done in Africa by the Middle Eastern jihadists.

Americans' attitude that "it cannot happen here" (by "it" I mean jihad)is starting to get on my nerves. The more hijabs I see on US streets (and I am seeing plenty these days) the more I worry that not not only CAN jihad happen here but that it very well MIGHT!

Should I hold my breath waiting for the moderate, peaceloving muslim outrage?

I've been hoping that covert military aid advising has been going on for some time in Ethiopia.

Don't hold your breath, Jan. If we did that Moslems across the globe might be deeply offended or, worse, humiliated. Then what.

Carolyn2, as I read your quotes from the holy Islamic scripture, it struck me that Allah's tone is mighty similar to Mohammed's. Vituperative might be the word, I think. Could Allah and Mo be one and the same? But, no, that would make the Holy Prophet into a thieving murderous fraud, and that couldn't be.

There is no christian outrage because this news was never covered the us media. It was never on cnn, msnbc, fox, abc, cbs, etc.

If folks are outraged about this, then they need to speak out not only on blog sites.

I just want to know what would happen if a mob killed six moslems in Paris.

Posted by: americaningermany at December 1, 2006 01:36 PM

There would be a huge scrap metal sale at the base of the Eiffel Tower.

http://doctorbulldog.wordpress.com/2006/12/01/we-blindly-march-into-our-demise/#comments

Following the good suggestion of one outraged person, why don't we all ask that our local newspapers publish this third source editorial?

callmeinfidel is right--a blogs-only belly-ache has very limited impact.

Yeah!
First, before they level the Eifel tower and the rest of Paris, they'd have to evacuate all those goddamn pushy African-Moslems selling their crap and crud in front of the Eifel Tower.

They wouldn't want their own "brothers in faith" to get hurt when the tower falls, would they?

Posted by: americaningermany at December 1, 2006 01:48 PM

1)That evacuation would be a sign of something.

2)If any of the brothers get killed they wouldn't be victims but martyrs.

3)If they are selling stuff there now I'd be worried-they probably have ready to use bombs on hand for a demolition job.

only someone or something without conscience would call news of eternal torture 'glad tidings' or 'good news'

Allah is a sociopath just like his creator Mohammed.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Stop killing Christians!

If there are any good websites about the history of relations between Muslims and Christians in Ethiopia, please post links to them on Jihad Watch. Such links would help readers of Jihad Watch know about the historical background of the current interreligious tensions in Ethiopia.

"allah" is the greatest sociopath of all time.

Some would call him "Beelzebub".

Posted by: americaningermany at December 1, 2006 02:24 PM

I just call him Illah-because he's a mentally ill god for mentally ill people. Satan works for me too but I like that title more in referring to his likeness-Imam Khomeini.

Let's see: 300 Muslims to 6 Christians. Very brave. Very brave, indeed.

Posted by: Hugh

Let's call a press conference..

Hugh, they are NOT ignorant. They are WILLFULLY ignorant. They are bought and sold. I really don't understand how THOSE WHO KNOW BETTER can possibly act against their better knowledge. Bush IS a simpleton, but he KNOWS. So do those around him. So do some of the Dhims sitting in the National Security and Defense committees.

Then you have the Dhims who hate "whitey" so if it's bad for "whitey" it's good for them. No matter the consequences for themselves of those they are charged with representing. This willingness to work against bettering slum conditions in many minortiy communities because their 'leaders' find it more important to undermine 'whitey' deserves a separate hearing in another forum than this.

Next we have the 'dhimmi whitey dems' - they KNOW there are those in the party who wish to undermine and they remain silent and run along with the crowd. These are the floks who tremble in fear at being called a 'racist'... oooooooo... by the above. They are in permanent submission and cannot be counted on for anything.

Which actually leaves but a TINY MNORITY who are TRULY IGNORANT.

Same goes for the MSM. A combination of SOWdi buyoffs and "investments" and Political Correctness. Why would a Jesse Jerkson prfer to aid moslems when he is supposed to be a Minister? all he preaches is: "Hate whitey". He's gotten SO much more sophisticated since "Hymietown" hasn't he? I'd call him a CINO. Christian In Name Only.

Thus I have given more evidence for the Michael savage statement that LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER!!.

We are now living in a world of Jihad and PC working hand in hand like the evil pair thay are.

Which among these groups holding us hostage can we possibly turn away from dragging us all into the cauldron of Darkness?

Why are we NOT helping Ethiopia RIGHT NOW?? WHY is Bush NOT on the pulpit screaming his lungs off about this? By remaining silence he is encouraging the jihadists even further.

I guarantee you if he peeps a WORD about this he'll get a phone call from Riyadh in less than a New York Minute!

right now in the world, everyone is killing everyone, america killing iraqis, indians killing kashmiris, jews killing palestinians and vice versa but I want to add that the palestinians and kasmiris are fighting for freedom, its their land! so this is not new!

Malcolm X,

You brainless idiot.

but I want to add that the palestinians and kasmiris are fighting for freedom, its their land! so this is not new!"

islam is alien to India, it was introduced via armed invasion and forced coerced conversion.
Who are the kashmiri's ?
1/3 are Hindu & Buddhist.
the remaining 2/3 are either shia or sunnis if they want pakistan, then they can walk across the border anytime.

Israel has existed since time immamorial, it is jewish land, the ,moslems arabs are illegally occupying it, the jews were there first.
Not everything you moslems lay yout thieving, bloodsoaked hands on belongs to you .

Why did you choose the name Malcolm X ?
wasn't the x to replace his slave name ?
Its a shame you don't get so upset about the treatment of black africans by arab moslems.

Or if a police officer killed one Muslim in self-defence.

We wont hear anything about such incidents on the BBC and the MSM till Ethiopian Christians retaliate. Then we will hear a great deal about the Muslim minority being attacked by fundamentalist Christians.

The Muslim world will be calling for action from the UN, and the US and its allies will rush to defend the Muslims. Soon there will be no Christians in that part of Ethiopia.

How tragic. This could have been resolved with just a cell-phone, and 100-200 well-armed infidel friends standing by. I am thinking of the micro-loan programs in the Third World, how a tiny investment can yield huge results.

And if we can extricate ourselves from rebuilding Iraq, we'll be able to make more than tiny investments.

malcolmX

What happened to Hindus through successive Islamic invasions is a tale that has yet to be told. Post-independence governments of India have even prevented sholarship on the subject, on the grounds that it will inflame the people. Never has slaughter been perpetrated on such a massive scale, and with so little mercy. The peaceful Hindus never could understand the Islamic ideology of mass murder of non-Muslims. They just could not fathom what could possibly drive the insane slaughter of people who had surrendered.

I ask you to have a little pity for the indigenous Kashmiris, who have been thrown out of their lands by Muslim invaders, and are living as refugees in and around Delhi.

My Exmuslim friend always said, and I've verified this, that in mosques, especially sunni and shiia mosques, many muslim clerics lead a few minutes of 'cursing' of christians, jews and nonmuslims every friday night[1] or a reminding that they must hate them [2]. Stirring up hatred for groups of peope always leads to "night of broken glass" events every weekend somewhere around the world. To leaders of the western democratic nations: this is a common accorance, take heed, start acting accordingly, and make sure you are spying on CAIR in the US. As for those moderate muslims who say not to do these things, the Qur'an curses THEM.[3] There are many (huge number of hate verses in the Quran which are as Robert Spencer has said universal in their commands to muslims, these are too numerous to list in a post here. However muslims know all about them, and our Inshullah 'friend' is commenting on them in a post now[4] I recommend The Truth about Muhammed. I am reading it now--excellent.

O you who have attained to faith! Do not take the Jews and the Christians for your allies: they are but allies of one another and whoever of you allies himself with them becomes, verily, one of them; behold, God does not guide such evildoers. (5:51)


[3]
Qur’an:61:2 “O Muslims, why SAY ONE THING AND DO ANOTHER? Grievously odious and hateful is it in the sight of Allah that you say that which you do not. Truly Allah loves those WHO FIGHT IN HIS CAUSE IN A BATTLE ARRAY, as if they were a solid cemented structure.”

[4] Narrated Abu Sa’id al-Khudri: The Prophet (sallallahu `alayhe wassallam) said: “The best fighting (jihad) in the path of Allah is (to speak) a word of justice to an oppressive ruler.” (Sunan Abu Dawud: Book 37, Number 4330)
QUOTE:
"Comment: This is one form of justice. The fact that a Muslim can stand up to a tyrant and tell him that he is a tyrant is victory and justice. Muslims will take this Hadith as an excuse to not do Jihad. That is wrong to do. How can one repel he enemies out of the lands of the Muslims without fighting? How can one establish Islam all over the world without fighting? So then why did the Prophet (s) say, “The best fighting”?

Or if two Muslims fleeing the police accidentally get electrocuted to death on a fence they try to climb.

Voice of the Martyrs is a good source for news about the persecution of the Church.
http://www.persecution.com/
I used to be on their mailing list. I let it lapse because I just didn't want to read about how many of us were being slaughtered daily, and I couldn't do anything about it but pray and give money.
If only the media thought Christians were as valuable as "palestinians". If only our governments thought they were as valuable as "palestinians".

Christian asked:
"If there are any good websites about the history of relations between Muslims and Christians in Ethiopia, please post links to them on Jihad Watch. Such links would help readers of Jihad Watch know about the historical background of the current interreligious tensions in Ethiopia."

Posted by: Malcolm X [TypeKey Profile Page]
Malcolm X. get ait straight even abbasPalestinian Prime Minister said our religion says any land we occupy his Muslim land and must fight our land the key word here is occupy the Palestinian my prime minister is admitting the land Palestinians are claiming is lands they have occupied lands that along the Jewish people, there's a schizophrenic idea among Muslims and they have a right to take over any land and the inhabitants land in a right to say anything in the rights Muslims give them is the right to convert and pay the poor tax the right to live as a protected people called dhimmi paying protection money called jizha some into a bunch of humiliating rules and regulations to ensure they feel subdued or die in the claim there is no force conversion in the religion of Islam.the killing of Christians and Jews throughout history of Islam and the burning of synagogues and churches and the appropriation or over the objections of their congregations and going on the time Muhammad Christendom's greatest church was confiscated and turned in a mosqueand it seems every time Moslems tiny brains want in their idea of fun attacking Christians and killing them and burning churches is is a top of the list next to killing Jews and burning synagogues. I think the only reason the West is not jumped in their is because the idiots that are pulling this is a support from groups in Saudi Arabia and of course the West is not want to jeopardize its oil source. Maybe it's time to pull out of Iraq sent a force the Utopia and start crash program like the Manhattan Projectand take a little money we are wasting trying to make democracy work in Iraq where it's more of a tribal society a long way away from being ready for democracy until it leaves the tribal roots, and we need remember is in less a hundred years since these people are living in mud huts a great number were nomads roaming the desert.

Man, I really don't see any solution other than a nuclear one...

Islam must be banned.

I think that the "ex-muslims", aka "apostates" are some of the best allies we have.
Much better than any "do-gooder", politically correct Christians.

I agree Americaningermany and would go further and doubt the faith of PC 'christians' just like I doubt liberal jewish peoples love for Israel (since they are alwyas gripping against Israel).

exmuslims HATE islam with such a fierce hatred judging from my exmuslim friend Bulent and from others like Ali Sina --that its a sign to us that 'moderate' muslims are not telling us the truth. For every moderate website of Islam I find at least one that is "radical" !

There is a history of Muslims trying to conquer Ethiopia. Read Futuh-ul-Habasha by Ahmed Gragn.

Attacks on Christians in Western Ethiopia - VOM Canada
VOM is providing aid for Semu Hailu and his family after he was imprisoned on November 5. Hailu, an elder of a Mennonite Church in Jimma was imprisoned after a group of Muslims accused him of insulting the Prophet Muhammad. Hailu had refused to move out of his house and sell his property to a nearby mosque. The Muslims responded by telling him that "kafirs" (infidels) should not live around mosques and threatened him repeatedly, demanding that he leave his property. When he refused, they eventually accused him of insulting Muhammad. During Hailu's November 9 court hearing, Muslims brought in false witnesses to testify against him. The court ordered him to be imprisoned for an unspecified period of time. In another incident, November 17, the house of Jemal Tasisa was burned by Muslims in the village of Tongo. Tasisa, an elder in a local Lutheran church, has fled to Assosa, Benishangul state with his five children. Pray these believers will remain faithful to Jesus. Romans 12:19

"Or if two Muslims fleeing the police accidentally get electrocuted to death on a fence they try to climb."

Excellent point, remote_control.

One correction, though. Don't you mean "two Muslim martyrs"?

(Cough, sputter, spit.)

It is so tragic and pathetic:

*That these events do actually occur over there in these parts on regular basis.

*That these muslim-mob-on-Christians violent accounts are so ignored.

Who would know if not for the internet these days?

Every Christian in the west needs to ask himself, "has it cost me anything to be a Christian today?" Shame on us if we ignore the truth of our brothers' sufferings.

Luke 14:25Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be my disciple. 27And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.

In the west, these words are all "pie in the sky" theory. In much of the world--the cost of belonging to Christ is very high indeed--and based on scripture that is supposed to be the norm. If a muslim ever converts to Christianity--he knows that what is required of him--will indeed be demanded.

you guys are all victims of the media!!!

k first you are absolutely wrong! why the hell would you say that muslims got the land illegally? Yes, jews were there loooong time ago but muslims lived with them after Islam was spread...they lived side by side with no killing of anything till 1917 after world war II:
The question of Palestine was brought before the United Nations shortly after the end of the Second World War. The origins of the Palestine problem as an international issue, however, lie in events occurring towards the end of the First World War. These events led to a League of Nations decision to place Palestine under the administration of Great Britain as the Mandatory Power under the Mandates System adopted by the League. In principle, the Mandate was meant to be in the nature of a transitory phase until Palestine attained the status of a fully independent nation, a status provisionally recognized in the League's Covenant, but in fact the Mandate's historical evolution did not result in the emergence of Palestine as an independent nation.

The decision on the Mandate did not take into account the wishes of the people of Palestine, both Arabs and Jews, despite the Covenant's requirements that "the wishes of these communities must be a principal consideration in the selection of the Mandatory". This assumed special significance because, almost five years before receiving the mandate from the League of Nations, the British Government had given commitments to the Zionist Organization regarding the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine, for which Zionist leaders had pressed a claim of historical connection since their ancestors had lived in Palestine two thousand years earlier before dispersing in the Diaspora.

"During the period of the Mandate, the Zionist Organization worked to secure the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine, where both Jews and Arabs could live side by side. The Arab people of Palestine felt this design to be a violation of their rights. They also viewed it as an infringement of assurances of independence given by the Allied Powers to Arab leaders in return for their support during the war. The result was mounting resistance to the Mandate by all Arabs, followed by Arab violence against the Jewish population"

So this action was taken without the Palestinian involvement .............................who are they to decide what to give them and what not to. the jewish governement is the real terrorist here!

and first read this all you talking about Kashmir:

By the mid-19th century Kashmir had passed from the control of the Durrani Empire (see Ahmad Shah Durrani) of Afghanistan, and four centuries of Muslim rule under the Mughals of Delhi and the Afghans, to the conquering Sikh armies. This process began in 1819, when 30,000 soldiers of Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Lahore attacked and annexed Kashmir as a part of Ranjit Singh's empire. Then, in 1846, the British rulers sold Kashmir to Maharaja Gulab Singh as part of the Treaty of Amritsar. Finally, during the latter part of the 19th century, Kashmir came to be ruled by the Dogras, a predominantly Hindu people in the area around Jammu, who were installed as rulers by the Sikhs.

The Treaty of Accession which shows Hari Singh's accession of the state of Jammu and Kashmir to IndiaFollowing the independence from British rule in 1947 and the partition of India and Pakistan, individual princely states in the subcontinent were given the choice of joining either of the two countries. The strategic value of Kashmir meant it was important for both countries to have it join their side. Pathan tribals covertly supported by the Pakistani army invaded Kashmir and overran the Kashmiri army. The Maharaja appealed to India for help, and India refused to send its army as long as Kashmir was not a part of the Indian Union. The Maharaja then signed the Instrument of accession to the Indian Union. Regular Indian forces then entered Kashmir and pushed back the invading forces. Prime Minister Nehru (himself of Kashmiri lineage) of India then took the situation to the United Nations Security Council and a ceasefire was implemented. The ceasefire line gave Pakistan control of about one-third of Kashmir and India the remaining.

The situation considered by the UN Security Council, which established a special commission was described in UNSC Resolution 39, passed on 20 January 1948. Subsequent to the recommendation of the commission, the Security Council ordered in its resolution #47, passed on 21 April 1948, that the accession of Kashmir to either India or Pakistan be determined in accordance with an internationally supervised plebiscite. In a string of subsequent resolutions, the Security Council noted that the UN supervised plebiscite required by resolution #47 had not been held. Notable resolutions reaffirming the requirement for the UN supervised plebiscite include UNSC resolution #80 of 14 March 1950, which established a ceasefire line after war between India and Pakistan, and UNSC resolution #122 of 24 January 1957, which condemned the establishment of a replacement legislative assembly in Kashmir.

The Government of India holds that the Maharaja signed a document of accession to India in 1948. Pakistan has disputed whether the Maharaja actually signed the accession treaty before Indian troops entered Kashmir. Furthermore, Pakistan claims the Indian government has never produced an original copy of this accession treaty and thus its validity and legality is disputed. However, India has produced the instrument of accession with an original copy image on its website. Alan Campbell-Johnson, the press attache to the Viceroy of India states that "The legality of the accession is beyond doubt." Stupid MAHARAJA!

yes, it is off-topic!

this is for americaningermany, Malcom X was killed because he started to speak out against the hate filled rhetoric of the nation of islam just like many Muslims today are killed if they say anything against the koran, the same mobs that killed those christians will turn right around and kill just as many fellow muslims

attention malcolm X:

There has been a constituency if Jewish inhabitants in Israel for over 3000 years (about 1000 years BC). Islam was officially founded in the sixth century AD.

If you know any math, you can figure out that the Jews were there centuries before the Islamic jihadists who now go under the name "Palestinians" (they are evidently too ignorant to know that the correct term for an inhabitant of Palestine is "Philistine" not "Palestinian") who arrived in Israel in the sixth century.

Since when are the Jews required to give up their own land to invaders who are part of an agenda to destroy them??? Why should they do that?

Since when is anyone required to do that??

Aren't Muslims essentially doing the same thing to the Russians in Chechnya that they are doing to the Jews in Israel? And aren't the Muslims doing the same thing to the Indians in Kashmir? And the same thing to the Sudanese in Sudan?? And in other parts of the world (including Minnesota and western Europe). It looks to me as if they are.

You, buddy, are a victim of Islamic propaganda.

"So this action was taken without the Palestinian involvement ....................who are they to decide what to give them and what not to. the jewish governement is the real terrorist here!"

From a post by Malcolm X above.

Malcolm,

So why is the Palestinian Christian community on the West Bank being decimated by the Hamas controlled PA while Abbas does nothing to stop it.

If "the jewish governement is the real terrorist here!" then why are more Bethlehem-born Palestinian Christians now living on the Israeli side of the green line than in Bethlehem. Why is the land in Ramallah, 100% owned by Christians a mere two generations ago, now 98% controlled by Muslims. It wasn't the Jews who transformed the beautiful and prosperous Christian cities of Ramallah and Bethlehem into Muslim ghettos (although the Israelis are culpable for not stopping it when they were in control), no! it is Muslim rapes, murders, and other violence that is forcing the Christians out.

The real Palestinians are those whose family roots go back to ancient times. These are almost exclusively Christians, Jews, and Samaritans. The vast majority of "Palestinian" Muslims have only been there for a few generations. Before the 1930s, the term "Palestinian" meant exclusively a Christian, Jew, or Samaritan native to the Holy Land. Local Muslims were called simply "Arabs" or "Turks" until the Mufti Faisal Husseini took Hitler's advice and expropriated the name "Palestinian" for himself.

Isn't it hilarious how Muslims in the West act like they're 'down for the cause' with Blacks(rapping, hip hopping and ghetto glorifying) but don't protest against their relatives conducting genocide against Black Christians and Animists in Darfur?

Read Futuh ul Habasha to see how casually Arabs have been killing the Ethiopians to impose their arab doctrine on them. And how arabs despised the African Kingdom of Ethiopia.
Or have you read about the Zanj rebellion of black slaves under Arab rule and how murderous and bloody was the repression of the uprising?

You are a blind slave of the Arabs!
