Garbage and feces. Nice.

I guess the muslims just wanted to make sure everyone knew who committed this atrocity. I know I associate garbage and feces with islam.

If this happened to the Koranists I wonder what would ensue?

These are the same people who claim to admire the "people of the book", no?

its not surprising Muslim Arabs would desecrate other religions gravesites and holy places they've been doing for centuries

The season reminds me that tourism to Bethlehem has dried up due to the general stupidity of the people who've been granted charge of that area. Instead of begging grants from Western governments, the Palestinians could be earning big bucks on the greatest Christian tourist attraction on the planet. But showing any respect to such a location is evidently not the Islamic way.

Total pigs, scum. Yet they are willinig to kill and riot at just a hint that their backwards faith gets insulted.

Expect more desecration, if the PA gains full control of the West Bank. There was widespread desecration of Jewish temples in Gaza. It's really sad to see the destruction of ancient archaeological sites.

Can't you just feel the luuuvv?

One day is worse than the last with these people...and I use the word "people" loosely.

I just don't get it. Why would they do such a thing(sh-t and piss) when Calab and Joshua were such willing Jihadist.

Or am I reading this wrong?

Written by Ibn Kathir Friday, 10 November 2006
The Speeches of Yuwsha` (Joshua) and Kalib (Caleb)
Allah said,
[قَالَ رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا]
(Two men of those who feared (Allah and) on whom Allah had bestowed His grace said...) When the Children of Israel declined to obey Allah and follow His Messenger Musa, two righteous men among them, on whom Allah had bestowed a great bounty and who were afraid of Allah and His punishment, encouraged them to go forward. It was also said that the Ayah reads in a way that means that these men were respected and honored by their people. These two men were Yuwsha`, the son of Nun, and Kalib, the son of Yufna, as Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, `Atiyyah, As-Suddi, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas and several other Salaf and latter scholars stated. These two men said to their people,
[ادْخُلُواْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَابَ فَإِذَا دَخَلْتُمُوهُ فَإِنَّكُمْ غَـلِبُونَ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَتَوَكَّلُواْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ]
("Assault them through the gate, for when you are in, victory will be yours. And put your trust in Allah if you are believers indeed.") Therefore, they said, if you rely on and trust in Allah, follow His command and obey His Messenger, then Allah will give you victory over your enemies and will give you triumph and dominance over them. Thus, you will conquer the city that Allah has promised you. This advice did not benefit them in the least,
[قَالُواْ يَـمُوسَى إِنَّا لَنْ نَّدْخُلَهَآ أَبَداً مَّا دَامُواْ فِيهَا فَاذْهَبْ أَنتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلا إِنَّا هَـهُنَا قَـعِدُونَ ]
(They said, "O Musa! We shall never enter it as long as they are there. So go, you and your Lord, and fight you two, we are sitting right here.") This is how they declined to join Jihad, defied their Messenger, and refused to fight their enemy.

Yo Joe! Sorry, couldn't help myself. Since when does islam have to be logical? Just throwing it out there.

You know a good thing for islam that Israel doesn't subscribe to the same philosophy. For if they did the whole "palestinian" issue would no longer be relevant.

Oh, that's not islamic.
This had to be out of context.
Blah, blah, blah.
Wherever they go they destroy, they are trying to wipe out all traces of the Jewish society that flourished in Israel thousands of years ago. They deny the Temple, deny that the Jews have had a presence in the land since time immemorial.

"The tombs...were covered with garbage and feces – both human and animal, and anti-Semitic and Nazi slogans and symbols had been painted in the area."

Islamonazis? Unheard of!

Joe Schmoe:

If you read the Old Testament, you would know that Joshua and Caleb were God's instruments against a people whose most solemn religious rite was the burning of their own children. So hateful was this practice to God Almighty that God solemnly declared a ban on the Canaanites for practicing it; and that destruction and dispersion would follow the Israelites if they took up the same practice. Well, the Israelites said, "Why not? Everyobody's doin' it, doi'n it, doin' it..." and the result was that Iraq, now Judenrein, became the second homeland of the Jewish people following a destructive invasion of 'Eretz Yisroel in the 580's B.C. by Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.

Trembling with terror at what may well fall upon my fellow descendants of Adam, I wonder if perhaps the Falastin Arabs realize that their glorification of fiery death for their own minor children has put them next on God's list of peoples who need to be scoured away. That's why they've chosen to desecrate the graves of Joshua and Caleb, who were believing instruments of divine vengeance (the Assyrians and Babylonians, while instruments, exalted themselves over the God who wielded them--see Isaiah 10:5-16). Their only hope to escape fiery judgment is to embrace the Messiah of Israel, who just so happened to be named after the Joshua whose grave they have desecrated.
