Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

“Palestinian” Muslims torch Christian town’s Christmas tree

Dec 26, 2015 7:29 pm By Robert Spencer

If only these Christians had shown more “solidarity with Islam.” That would have fixed this problem right up.

“2 Palestinians arrested in Christmas tree arson in West Bank,” Associated Press, December 25, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

RAMALLAH, West Bank: Palestinian security forces say they arrested two suspected Islamic radicals in the burning of a Christmas tree in the northern West Bank.

A Palestinian security officer said Friday the suspects set fire Wednesday to the tree in Zababdeh, a Christian majority village near Jenin. The officer spoke on condition of anonymity because he isn’t authorized to speak to reporters.

He says both suspects are under investigation for possible ties to extremist Islamist groups. He also says Palestinian security forces arrested about a dozen radical Islamists Wednesday in Bethlehem…

Palestinian assailants attacked Israelis in three West Bank incidents Thursday as visitors flocked to Bethlehem for a subdued Christmas Eve. The attackers were shot and killed by Israeli security forces.

    Stupid provocations mirrord by similarily stupid throwing of pig heads into mosques. Not that I like islam or mosques but as usual these provocations will offend the decent and be welcomed by the fanatics.

      Your pathetic effort to muddy the waters with a childish effort at moral equivalency or some equally debased mockery of serious thought, is NOT appreciated. Go find a playground where less intelligent people spend their time.

        WC – I’m not talking about moral equivalency anyway sinde “moral” is as mallable as clay in the hand of the puppet masters and I’m certainly not saying that christianity and islam are equivalent. They are not and the difference most simply seen when looking at the central role model. It’s obvious, even for a hardcode atheist to acknowledge that Jesus is humane, while mohammed is just human.

        You will find thugs and low-lifes in any group who seek the thrill of confrontation and destruction REGARDLESS of ideology.

        It’s in their genes.

        Bye the way, this JW post comprises a few paragraphs. For people not preoccupied with the evils of islam it would be hardly understandable what the fuss about a burnig christmas tree, especially if a family of four had been butchered and making the headlines here.

        Different people, different location, different problems.

        Have a good start in 2016 and think twice before spewing your hatred on people you don’t know.

          ” “moral” is as mallable as clay in the hand of the puppet masters and I’m certainly not saying that christianity and islam are equivalent.”

          No, moral is only malleable in the hands of hypocrites. and if you don’t wish to be accused of attempting moral equivalency, do a better job of posting. Very few people would not see an effort to do so, with your reference to pics heads….. Your own efforts could use a massive amount of improvement, so don’t try preaching. And classifying mohamed, if he ever existed, as human, is an insult to all humans. To compare him to normal, flawed human beings, borders on expressing hatred, so be careful.

        ..bye the way WC…look at Egypt. Probably the country with the most islamophobes in the world. Numbering enough to kick out Puppet Morsi backed by YOUR President and “Western” “leader”.

        Thank god their still are people like Putin and hopefully Tump will shake up the next decade and deatroy polictical correctness. PC is the real problem for us because without pc those “radicals”, “fundamentalists” would not dare to act against us.

          Well stated. Political Correctness means we can’t label an enemy for what it is – who says you shouldn’t hire a fox to guard the hen house? Only someone full of PC stupidity, And yet, this is the status of USA and Canada and Germany and UK and …

          I don’t have a President…. Not a citizen of the US. Read a post before failing to reply to it. And these Egyptian ‘islamophobes’ are attacking and murdering Coptic Christians, burning their churches…. There are higher percentages of islamophobes in East European countries…

    Probably arrested for not getting a permit to burn the tree. Will probably get off on the excuse of starting a fire because they were cold.

      That sounds more like it. To charge them with anything serious would be Islamophobic for certain. No doubt there was a justifiable reason to setting the blaze. Maybe they just wanted to walk there, it was in the way, they had no saw, but thankfully had matches and fuel? This could turn out to be a health and safety issue. With the right lawyer, they may even sue the Christians for putting dangerous obstacles in their way.

        …. A dangerous and flammable object in their way…

    What idiots! Christmas is not in a tree, presents or buildings. Christmas is in the hearts of believers celebrating the birth of their savior Jesus Christ.

    You can’t threaten a Christian with death, you only can threaten him with eternal life.

    • Angemon says

      Dec 29, 2015 at 7:25 pm

      All the same for the goat humpers – they simply can’t see Christians being uppity and having fun and celebrating their religion because that goes against what islam teaches: that muslims, on the “virtue” of being muslims alone, would have riches and wealth while non-muslims, because they were non-muslims, would live in squalor, and fell the punishment for having rejected muhammad as a prophet.

    Muslims despise the Incarnation of Christ and use violence to stop its celebration. Christians should be ready for increasing persecution and hire security at church doors in future celebrations of Easter and Christmas. If security spares churches from a single attack, it will be worth it.

    In the meantime, churches need to find ways to deprogram Muslims right out of Islam.

    All parties in this place need to stop the violence. They all could have made a fortune during the Christmas holidays.

    Fools.

    Naturally it is all about the occupation.
    You allow Muslims to occupy the smallest space anywhere and sooner or later they try to realise their genocidal agenda against all non-Muslims.
