Yemen: Muslims enraged by murder and corpse desecration trampling of Qur'an

As the body of a Salafi was being dragged through the street, a copy of the Qur'an fell out of the dead man's pocket, and was inadvertently trampled by those who were dragging the body. Muslims are outraged! Not that a body was dragged through the streets, midn you -- what's another body? -- but that a copy of the Qur'an was trampled. Priorities, priorities! "Yemen Sunnies [sic] angered at Al-Houthis for desecrating the Holy Quran," by Elena White for the Yemen Observer, May 1 (thanks to Pedro):

Outrage erupted in Yemen and more specifically in the Sunni community when a video posted online showed the body of a Salafi being dragged throughout the northern city of Sa’ada by al-Houthi militants, whose Quran, which dropped from the deceased pocket was seen being trampled over.

Al-Houthi militants, a group of Shia Muslim which advocates a return to the ancestral rule of the Imams have been enthralled in a war with Salafists, a group of hard-liner Sunni Muslims calling for a strict application of the Scriptures; both factions seeking to control Yemen northern territories....

Ahmed al-Sofi a political analyst based in Sana’a, the Yemeni capital warned that such an event and a clear attack against the Sunni faith could potentially sets the region ablaze. “Yemenis do not take lightly to religiously driven insult, especially when it comes to its most sacred and revered book, the Quran. Unless some apologies are formulated, Salafists will retaliate in the most violent manner possible as it constitutes for them a clear call for Jihad [holy war].”

A man in Sana’a who saw the video online told the Yemen Observer that he felt utterly disgusted with al-Houthis, stressing further that the move was a declaration of war against every respectful Muslim. “The Quran is our heart and soul, walking on it equates to insulting our beloved Prophet, his teachings and God himself. Surely our clerics will issue a fatwa condemning the culprits. Those men should be tried for apostasy,” said Abdullah Goorgoor.

Cool! Start another civil war there b/w the Shia and Sunni. If possible, anther in Bahrein, and Saudi Arabia itself. Let the Saudis be really divided over whether to support the Sunnis in Syria, Yemen, Bahrein and get really divided. Have the entire middle east plunged in civil war.

Mad-mad-mad.

And in case we are told it has nothing to do with the majority - they are only a very few and of no consequence! - a man supposedly with his ears to the ground warned that such an event and a clear attack against the Sunni faith could potentially sets [sic] the region ablaze.

I still remember the 9 year old Christian Iraqi boy who picked up a Qur'an that had fallen from a passenger on a motorbike, he tried to return it to its owner who promptly shot the boy dead. The Qur'an is an instrument of death...that's all it is used for..

Muslim on muslim, the blood lust continues. This is Islam in all its bloody living color, with the stench of death lingering in the air. This is the "Peace of Islam" that this world can expect to see, "If" Islam rules the world.

The foundation of Islam is blood and death.

No, Islam, Know peace.

Seriously, you couldn't make this stuff up, Hollywood producers would dismiss it as being too far fetched.

Ah, the perfect peace of Islamic countries.(sarc) Islamic apologists point to the peace which exists once Islamic sharia law and principles take over. (Anyone with computer skills should send this over to LOON WATCH and see them go wild with their crazy attempts at rebuttals.)

The word of choice is unbelieveable—a word that's often used by Westerners when they come across almost unimaginable distortions of reality obvious in the warped perceptions so common in the Muslim world.

Here, we see Muslims angered at what they see as the desecration of the Qur'an by murderers of their own faith, so obviously drunk on the blood of their victim—and so engrossed in inflicting indignities on his corpse (which they no doubt would say was motivated by their version of Islam)—that they didn't notice they were trampling on the book they revere.

Yet which is the greater outrage? Why the inadvertent damage to the Qur'an, of course.

Unbelieveable!

priorities, it's all about priorities with these creatures ....

you are right. but sometimes they get their priority wrong. should we kidd the jews first? the infidels first? or should we kill each other first? this is a huge probelm!!!
M

Salafis, are you going to stand for these Shia insults? Shias, are you going to stand for these Salafi threats?
No, no, a thousand times no. Let's show them who's boss! Let's mix it up! Let's roll! And let's get the Sunnis, the Sufis, and the Wahhabis involved too; surely they've been insulted somehow. Let the whole region dissolve into an Hobbesian war of all against all.

PLEASE HELP.

"Have the entire middle east plunged in civil war."

Fine by me, as long as Western nations stay the hell out of it!

The Qur'an is an idol to them. They are idol worshipers even though the Qur'an forbids idol worship. Of course, they also kiss a black stone (Arab rock god) at the Kaba in Mecca, which they claim is black because it absorbs the sin of the one who kisses it. So, Muslims have an idol in the Qur'an and a savior in the black stone. Islam teaches Muslims that it is good to plunder, abuse, rape, and murder non-Muslims simply because they are non-Muslims, yet the Qur'an continually claims Mohammad's Allah is ALL merciful and compassionate. Muslims are blind to this dissonance but it should be glaringly clear to reasonable people. Such is why Sharia law forbids criticism of anything Islamic, because analysis points out the arbitrary, diabolically inhuman/insane, and disjointed nature of Islam.

Islam is riddled with stupidity and superstition. A book is more important than a human life because Muslims believe that their book has magical qualities. This is nonsense, because Islam is nonsense.

Yemen: Muslims enraged by murder and corpse desecration trampling of Qur'an

As the body of a Salafi was being dragged through the street, a copy of the Qur'an fell out of the dead man's pocket, and was inadvertently trampled by those who were dragging the body. Muslims are outraged! Not that a body was dragged through the streets, midn you -- what's another body? -- but that a copy of the Qur'an was trampled. Priorities, priorities!
..............................................

This tells you a great deal about Islam all by itself. And it's not just the dragging of a body through the streets—it is his likely murder, as well.

Unlike the Jihadists setting IEDs in Afghanistan that American soldiers urinated on—who *killed themselves* through viciousness and ineptitude, this body was probably that of a man murdered by the mob.

Note: I am *no* fan of Salafists, who are vicious Jihadists. But this vicious Jihadist was killed by another brand of vicious Jihadist, Shi'ite Al-Houthis.

This is what *always* happens when there are no Infidels to kill—pious Muslims simply murdrously turn on each other.

..............................................

This also happens all the time when Sunnis and Shi'ites blow up each others' Mosques or massacre pilgrims—Qur'ans must get caught in the cross-fire all the time. It's rarely an issue, though, unless it is Infidels taking out the trash...

..............................................

Sunnis and Shi'ites, jockeying for power. Their vision of Shari'ah, though—as well as their methods of imposing it—are equally brutal...

"Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.

"Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

"You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.

"Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes."
...

Oh...wait. Those are the tongue-in-cheek lyrics to "Blue Suede Shoes".

What I meant was, you can murder our pious coreligionists and drag their bodies through the streets, but don't mess with our Holy Qur'an.

"Tried for apostasy"—good one! Not tried for murder, of course, which is a minor matter for pious Muslims.

God, I hate Islam.
