Madonna cancels Israel concerts after threat to her kids

Personally, I find the pop singer Madonna always tiresome and frequently contemptible; however, I am not interested in murdering her or her family, or even in preventing people from buying her records. Therein lies a key difference between the civilizations that are currently clashing.

From Haaretz, with thanks to Tziona:

Pop superstar Madonna recently canceled concerts scheduled in Israel as a result of death threats by unknown Palestinian militants, the British tabloid The Sun reported yesterday. The singer had scheduled three concerts to be held in Tel Aviv in September, but canceled the performances earlier in the month.

According to the report, Madonna initially "freaked out" when she learned of the threat, but decided to go ahead with the performances. She changed her mind, the paper said, when she received letters containing details about her two children, aged 7 and 3.

As a mother, I can totally understand how she would be "freaked out". Somebody knows details about her kids, and is threatening her. They threaten pop singers now, they've threatened authors in the past, politicians and others who wish to speak at public and private venues. This is pure evil, whether from Islamazoids, Quakers, or atheists. These Islamazoids don't like anybody who threatens their reality. Madonna is the anti-woman to them. She's powerful, she's out there, in your face. Not demure, not subservient. She's calling the shots. She bugs them big-time. Okay, she's not everyone's cup of tea, but in our civilization we don't threaten people we don't share likes and dislikes with. We don't prevent them from doing their thing. That's why our civilization works, and Islam doesn't.

Madonna has been "studying" kabbalah for several years. She's claimed to be deeply committed to its wisdom, spouting off incessantly about her new found Jewish spirituality.

But she caved to the terrorists.

Apparently she didn't learn anything from her rabbi at all.

Where were these jihadis back in the 80's when we needed them.

C'mon Abdul, I know Brittany doesn't have kids but please, find a way to make her stop !!!

Madonna has been ridiculing the Catholic church for years but I doubt she ever felt her life or the lives of her children were at risk due to that ridicule.Interesting how the first thing Muslims do is to threaten people with death in order to effect changes in behavior.

Madonna, a liberal, someone who no doubt is ready to critcize those fighting the war on terror. And she goes the same way as Spain. Succumbs to terrorists and lets them win. I can't stand her music and find her a freak. Threatening her children is typical of terrorists, creating "terror" to gain the results they want. Ones family should come first, but cancelling in a manner which so obviously shows a caving in just rewards the sick thugs many of us are fighting. I say many of us because there are those out there who won't fight. The Swedes for example, or the French, and now the Spanish. Madonna still sucks though.

Sad. Palestinian terrorists killed Shalhevet Pass in her father's arms, while only weeks old. Tali Hatuel and her daughters were murdered in thier car.. Madonna is right to fear for her kids...and it only shows how morally bankrupt, spiritually flea-bitten, and how low these sons of **** will go.
We shoot rabid dogs in my part of the country....
