Muslims are so accepting of freedom of speech and expression. It would have been interesting to see the reaction if the actress had completely disrobed, entered their precious mosque and pissed on the floor.

They should've been capped on the spot.

Buck:

What's interesting about this story isn't the uproar over women proximate to a mosque not wearing headcoverings, but that some little scumbag stirred things up with false claims that the crew were preparing to enter the mosque.

This is the technique the Palestinians have used to great success, time after time, most notably the patently false claim that a tunnel the Israeli government was building parallel to an existing tunnel to accommodate the increasing numbers of Christian pilgrims wanting to make the journey of the cross was being dug under one of their mosques where in fact it was going in the opposite direction. This story was relayed by an Arab journalist to Agence France Presse and broadcast around the world as the justification for the first intifada.

Likewise the second intifada, allegedly provoked by Ariel Sharon's visit to Temple Mount. Aside from the fact that the Dome of the Rock is the encroaching structure, built a couple of milenia after Solomon's temple and built more than a century after Mohammed's death and nowhere near where he died, the Palestinians had long been in the ready for a fight. And of course there's the notorious case of the 12 year old boy supposedly shot by the IDF in his father's arms and captured on film. The evidence has since shown the bullets he and his father were trying to avoid were coming from the "freedom fighters" and the body of the victim, later produced at a hospital, was that of a child roughly half that age.

Then there's the ISM's Rachel Corrie fable -- their martyr to the cause, who, while in the act of interferring with an IDF operation to fill in weapons-smuggling tunnels -- was supposed to have been murdered by a tank/bulldozer that "deliberately" backed up over her.

Nonetheless, given the general climate of hyper-sensitivity, the film crew, knowing of the proximity of the mosque, showed poor judgment in its conduct.

So, is there a video? Will there be an investigation?

I wonder how the Greeks about their Prime Minister Costas Caramanlis stating that Turkey should join the EU? If there are any Jihad Watchers from Greece, we would be curious to know.

Just think if they knew that she also menstruating at the time, then it could have been a double whammy. No head scarf and menstruating! Is she now eligible for the death penalty?

The Moslems sure know how to show their religions power of peace, love and tolerance!

What an atrocity these non-Moslems commit. How can the world take this abuse directed toward Moslems, to have non-Moslems anywhere near a Moslem holy place is just an atrocity of the most outrages kind.

Here we go with the Moslem club enforcing their rules on all non-members, don’t matter what Country the Moslem lives in, he lives by the rules of Mohammadanism and they trounce the laws of any Country.

Because the Moslems are so uneducated, thus they are so easily led astray.
It’s a mob rules type of thing. It reminds me of America in the 1600's when the Salem witch trials took place, they were so quick to believe the unbelievable. Just like today’s modern Moslem!

No Mohammadanism, Know Peace

And while this went on, a Muslim in Canada is suing the Government for 1 million dollars for being harrassed just one month after the Spain transit bombings because he was covertly video taping a major Subway platform and the main
Communications Transmission tower in Toronto's
downtown business area.

CAIR has backed this man and claims it's the confirmation of the anti-Muslim bias in the West and he was detained for being a Muslim.
CAIR claims that lots of people makes video's
of Toronto as tourists and Muslims don't see them being arrested or detained.The man was detained in Egypt because of his shady past with radical groups,another Muslim that was detained and deported to his homeland of Syria,claimed he was tortured and launched a 400 million dollar law suit against the Canadian Government since he had dual citizenship and wasn't protected from deportion in New York City.

With Governments cracking down on terror money being laundered through the banks,this is a nice way to raise fund through law suits and avoid a paper trail from money transfers.

The same tecnique is used on college campuses or rallies in the U.S. Someone is accused of "insulting or hurting a woman," or "blasphemy against Islam," or "insulting the prophet." Soon the press is there and screams of "racism" and "violation of rights" are made... Kitman tactics to play the victim and change the subject.

Doesn't take much to set them off, does it? They don't bother try to talk things out like normal, intelligent human beings, to find out what's going on, to explain their position or make polite requests. No, just go ape. Any excuse to destroy things and act like feral gorillas. That's the Mohammedan way of doing things. Like that episode in Indonesia where the guy had his pigs slaughtered. No discussion or civil discourse, just a bunch of lunatics destroying things. This is Islam. Lunatics destroying things - property, people, societies.

In Lakemba(a suburb of Sydney)an SBS film crew were beaten by Muslim thugs(about ten of them I think) while they were filming outside speaking to Keysar Trad(local muslim shit-stirrer).Even though Keysar witnessed the entire ordeal he could't identify any of them.
Strange how he couldn't recognise them,well they all look the same don't they?
Not one of them have been arrested to this day,but then again what do you expect?
Imagine what would happened if the tables were turned?
Tolorance,Love and Peace..................
yep thats Islam.
F..K OFF Muslims I don't want you here
RAPISTS
