Imagine if Jews or Christians had set fire to a Muslim holy site: the international outcry would be deafening. But no one will take any particular note of this. Even while loudly insisting that any concern about jihad terror, rather than non-specific “violent extremism,” is “Islamophobic,” the mainstream media and international human rights organizations expect Muslims to behave violently in a way they do not expect of other groups.
“Joseph’s Tomb set ablaze by Palestinian rioters,” The Jerusalem Post, October 16, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
Palestinian rioters attempted set fire to the Joseph’s Tomb compound in Nablus on Friday morning according to reports by Israel radio.
The crowds were dispersed and the fire was brought under control by Palestinian police before IDF forces arrived on the scene.
The tomb site suffered severe damage from the fire. There were no reports of injuries.
This incident came following a day of relative calm in Israel after several weeks of increased violence attacks across the country.
On Thursday night Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to stop inciting Palestinians to attack Israelis with knives and axes, in a press conference given in Jerusalem.
“Abu Mazen [Abbas] is inciting murder,” Netanyahu charged as he called on the international community to stop excusing the Palestinian leader’s actions.
The violence is the direct result of false Palestinian charges that Israel is attempting to take over the Temple Mount and is executing Palestinians, Netanyahu said at the press event designed to present Israel’s case to the world.
He spoke just one day after Abbas delivered a speech on both points and then claimed that Israel had killed Ahmed Manasra, 13. The young teen along with his 15-year old cousin had stabbed a 13-year old Israeli in Jerusalem’s Pisgat Ze’ev neighborhood on Tuesday.
On Thursday Israel released photographs of the boy in pajamas with a bandaged on his head, recovering at Hadassah Medical Center.
“First of all he (Manasra) is not dead, he is alive. Second, he is not innocent. He tried to kill, murder – knife to death an innocent Israel youngster, 13 years old, riding his bike,” said Netanyahu.
“The only way we can fight this big lie all the other lies that are hurled at Israel and spread on Palestinian social networks is to tell the truth,” said Netanyahu.
He added that he expects the international community to condemn Palestinian incitement to murder.
Don’t hold your breath, Prime Minister.

Just how far can they tempt GOD?
Their fate is being well earned.
From what I have seen, The Lord has been calling many Muslims to leave their false religion and come to Christianity.
When His harvest of them is full, then they will be called to answer for their many crimes.

Yes, absolutely right! His mercy to them is astounding! But it won’t last forever.

But, but, isn’t that their beloved prophet Jesus’ father’s tomb? Just more proof that they really don’t care about any other prophets other than the child molesting Muhammad. All the rest are just co-opted players used in their hijacking.
gravenimage says
Yes–*very* true, KrazyKafir. The supposed “respect” Muslims have for the “prophets” is never much in evidence.
And Muslims in Israel have done this before:
“Muslims vandalize Joshua’s Tomb with graffiti”
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/12/muslims-vandalize-joshuas-tomb-with-graffiti
And here is another case:
“Muslims desecrate, urinate in Judaism’s 2nd holiest site
Hamas flags found on burial chambers of Abraham, Jacob, Sarah”
http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=74666
Muslims definitely have it both ways when it comes to Christianity–and, especially, Judaism. They claim all the Jewish prophets were actually Muslim, and that Jews deliberately “corrupted” the Torah so that it differed from the Qu’ran.
Hence, they can both lay claim to all Jewish holy sites, while at the same time showing no problems with wantonly desecrating such sites, as well.
Azacque says
Joseph’s tomb is the burial place of Joseph of the coat of many colors who saved Egypt from famine.

Words like imagine, what if, we should not, etc., etc. should be substituted with attack, eliminate, destroy, etc. Until a huge majority of patriots, conservatives, Christians, Jews and others stop the damn talk. NO more talk; only war, bloody, unforgiving war, horrible, complete destruction against islam. NOT radical islam, ISIS, al Qaeda, but Islam of any kind. I you want to be free, have liberty, peace, safety for you, your family, your country, THEN GET OFF YOUR ASS AND ACTIVATE YOUR MIND GOD GAVE YOU AND BECOME A CHRISTIAN WARRIOR. Fight like you are possessed, no mercy, no quarter, no prisoners. Give the heathen child molesters, rapists, animals, nothing but death and try to devise the most fearful means ever devised by mankind. To those of you who say, “Oh, we don’t want to become like our enemy islam”, I say either you do this or you die along with your family, freedom, religion, country. You will SURELY DIE AS YOU DO NOTHING AND SUBMIT TO ISLAM. You should wear an outer garment of YELLOW, assigning you a coward status, a traitor, and one who will not protect your wife, child parents.

@ zulU:
Slightly O/T – more sickening leftard spin.
PBS Oct 16, 2015, “The Week” –
on ‘intifada III’, he interviews a PLO advisor
against a Ha’aretz echo chamber.

Unbelievable headline. Really. “Palestinians set fire to Joseph’s Tomb, Iran tests precision guided ballistic missile.”
How telling this headline is. How utterly depressing.
Westman says
More “Islamic” culture. As Richard Dawkins voiced, “to hell with their culture”.
Angemon says
Muslims rioting and setting things on fire? Why, that’s unheard of! sarc./ off…
Westman says
Yes.
Westman says
I should also mention that The Tomb Of Joseph, revered by both Christians and Jews, gets sacked every time there is an Intifada.
This recent attack on the tomb could be a sign that another Intifada has begun.
Cecilia Ellis says
Glenn, yes, this is the same Joseph who was sold into slavery by his brothers. Tradition holds that it is the tomb of the Biblical patriarch, Joseph. More information can be viewed at the following link:

Lookmann says
But CNN says ‘Joseph’s Tomb site catches fire in wave of Palestinian-Israeli violence’
So if two groups clash, the nearest shrine ( always non-muslim) catches fire!
A New law of physics propounded by CNN .
Any nobels left there?
Cecilia Ellis says
Lockmann, love your comment! Still laughing!

Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Moslims make good victims because they’re no such thing. Look at the Moslems in Israel, they’re freer, fatter, wealthier and have greater opportunity that those anywhere else. But we live in a universe of turnspeak now, so the major news entertainment outlets denounce Israel as an apartheid state. Moslems make terrible bad guys because they destroy landmarks of other religions and mass murder their members, neither of which fits the popular narrative so the bad deeds Moslems do are seldom publicized and never denounced.
I hope this makes sense, but it might not because the unreal reality of the real world no longer makes sense, it does not make any sense of all. And I really mean that.

I think he has succeeded; the sacking of Joseph’s Tomb happens every Intifada. The Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades and Hamas appear to be gearing up for some terrorist action.

Very true, Westman–here was an attack on Joseph’s Tomb from 2000:

Please check out the book, “Todays Technology In Bible Prophecy, ” by Charles Miller. It is available on Amazon. It was written in 1990 and circumstances are lining up like he said.
