Palestinian Authority: Jerusalem Wine Festival “an affront to Islam”

Aug 31, 2016 3:39 pm By Robert Spencer

The principle is always and everywhere the same: when you’re in a Muslim country, you should conform your behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities. And when you’re in a non-Muslim country, you should conform your behavior to suit Muslim sensibilities.

“Jerusalem Wine Festival – ‘An affront to Islam,'” by Dalit Halevy, Arutz Sheva, August 31, 2016:

Murad Al-Sudani, the Registrar for the National Palestinian Committee for Education, Culture and Science, lashed out at the upcoming annual Jerusalem Wine Festival, which is set to have a branch at the upscale Mamilla (Alrov) open-air mall near the Old City.

Since the mall rests partly on an old Muslim cemetery called “Maman Allah;” Al-Sudani claims that the festival manifests an affront to Islam.

Al-Sudani emphasized, the festival is “a dangerous escalating step” on the part of Israel in Jerusalem in its continual damage to historically and religiously significant Muslim holy sites.

He accused Israel of trying to “bury” the Arab and Muslim history of Jerusalem, asserting that the relevant Muslim cemetery is a historically significant Muslim site that spans the largest Waqf-controlled area in Jerusalem, and that the remains of Mohammad’s comrades are said to be buried there.

The wine festival, according to Al-Sudani, violates the cemetery and manifests a provocation against the feelings of the Arab Palestinians and Muslims world-wide….

      Most everything is threat to Islam.

      1 Wine leads to — free speech.
      2 Free speech leads to — critical thought.
      3 Critical thought leads to — inspection.
      4 Inspection leads to — TRUTH

      TRUTH is Islam’s Kryptonite.

    If you do not like our country, customs and food, then stay in your shit hole in the Middle East.

    Easy as that.

    In reaction to the forthcoming Jerusalem Wine Festival, Murad Al-Sudani, the Registrar for the National Palestinian Committee for Education, Culture and Science decided to beat the Jews to the Punch (pun intended) and sent out a Press Release announcing the First Annual “Muslim Whine Festival” where sober Muslims are free to whine, bitch, complain, be offended, express outrage, squawk, screech, squeal, shriek, scream, cluck, cackle, hoot & holler, display dissatisfaction, show annoyance, pour out grievances, bellyache, feign resentment, moan, kick up a fuss and kvetch.
    Shortly after sending out the Muslim Whine Festival Press Release, Murad Al-Sudani quickly sent out a follow up Press Release Correction in which he announced that Muslims attending the Muslim Whine Festival would NOT be allowed to “kvetch” since that is a Jewish thing and obviously offensive to Muslims.
    Murad Al-Sudani also announced that the Muslim Whine Festival would be a BYOB Event.
    This prompted a 3rd Press Release in which Murad Al-Sudani had to make it clear that “BYOB” meant “Bring Your Own Burqa” and NOT “Bring Your Own Booze”. That clarification disappointed all the thousands of Muslims planning to attend the Whine Festival who secretly drink.
    Needless to say A good Time Was Not had By All.

    Any front of any culture religion society group etc is an affront to Islam.
    If there are no fronts, of any groups, to Islam then then that group has been conquered by Islam.
    Any non-Islamic front of any kind, any barrier of any kind, any thing that is not conquered by Islam is an affront to Islam.

    So it’s okay for Muslims to complain about a short-lived Jewish wine festival being held in the supposed vicinity of a Mohammedan cemetery, but it’s not okay for Jews to complain about a permanent Muslim victory mosque built on the holiest site in the world for Jews – the site of the Beit Hamikdash. Mohammedans don’t seem to see the Islamification of the birthplace of Judaism as a problem. Ethnic cleansing by Mohammedan hordes in the Middle Ages is okay, but a Jewish festival in contemporary Yerushalayim is an insult to Muslim Arabs…….Bunch of whining hypocrites…as usual. “Go back to Arabia where you came from,” is what I say.

    And we Zionists are expected to sign a peace treaty with these immature, small-minded narcissists?

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Aug 31, 2016 at 5:31 pm

      I’m with you, mate.

      I’m not Jewish. I totally support Jewish land rights and the right of Jews to self-determination and sovereignty in their traditional homeland, to wit, eretz Yisroel. And their right to control their sacred sites… such as the Temple Mount. If Israel gave the infernal waqf the boot and took down, stone by stone, every mohammedan installation on the Temple Mount and then put a permanent ban on mohammedan entry to that location, I’d be delighted.

      And years ago, as soon as I began to be properly informed about Islam, and particularly as I became aware of mohammedan duplicity and the concept of ‘hudna’ and the model of the Treaty of Hudaybiyya – that the so-called ‘peace process’ was a deadly snare and a delusion and anyone trying to force the Israelis to enter into any kind of ‘agreement’ with the local Arab Muslims was a fool.

          Thank you for this reply and important addition to my post. Well said and articulated. We are a small Hebrew speaking nation – only 15 million – and all we ask is for a corner of the world not larger than the State of New Jersey to be left alone to do “our thing.” Eretz Yisrael is where my nation was born, and Yerushalayim is the cradle of my ancient religion and philosophy. Every nation has a place to call their own where its culture and language takes priority over all others – and we deserve one too.

          Yes and no, Mortimer. The Qur’an does indeed refer to Moses (“Musa”) and the Isrealites; but later makes it clear that these Jews were regarded as *Muslims* who (supposedly) later “corrupted” their texts, which were originally supposed to be just like the Qur’an.

          Ergo, such Jews are not regarded as those referred to in the Qur’an as lawfully occupying the land of Israel. Today, those would be–surprise, surprise!–the Muslims themselves.

    Islam is an affront to common sense, to a live-and-let-live approach to life, to both alcohol and music, to visual depictions of a possible higher power (think the Sistine Chapel here), to graciousness, to plain and truthful speaking (taqiyya of course mitigates against this), to a true Golden Rule for all, to disagreement without threats behind them, to the acknowledgement that one could be wrong about the cosmos however deeply held their belief is about ultimate reality, to fun in general, to happiness in general, to the female in general, to the clitoris specifically, to romantic love, to true equality under the law regardless of religious belief, and to freedom in general.

    Yes, I am affronted by Islam for the reasons I just stated above. They are many and yet, once again to Islam’s discredit, there are still many more such reasons.

    My God, what a sickness Islam is. Yes, it is a sickness. Overwhelmingly so. It is religion at its worst. And I am affronted by this sorry-ass excuse for a religion because it was never necessary in the first place. Time is way overdue to get rid of it. All of it.

      moslims don’t know or express *love.*

      Love is long-suffering. Love is kind. Love is not jealous. Love does not brag. Love does not get puffed up with pride. Love endures all things. Love hopes all things. Love does not keep account of the injury. Love never fails.
      In order for moslims to show love, they would have to stop being moslims. They would need to leave islam and learn something different, something better.
      In order to show love, to really feel love, one must not wish to commit murder, rape or terror against anyone, but must acknowledge that those actions are evil. Those actions are unloving. One cannot know or show love and at the same time, practice what islam teaches and commands.

        Love is the most overused and misused word in the English Language and Muslims certainly don’t show it even to their own children.They expose them to fire in Israel during their intifadas,they expose them to dangerous sea crossings to get to better societies in the West and then degrade and abuse those societies killing their own and other people’s children.They kill their own children in the murders falsely known as “honour killings”
        They leave them unprotected in war zones chasing the allure of wealth and easy living.
        They have large families and use some of their children as so called martyrs throwing away their precious and only lives.
        Their hate preachers abuse the hospitality of host countries encouraging and sometimes forcing their children to hate and kill their fellow citizens regardless of religion.
        ISLAM IS THE ANTITHESIS OF LOVE AND MOST REJECT THIS BARBARIC FOUL,FALSE BELIEF SYSTEM WHICH IS THE CURRENT SCOURGE OF THE WORLD AND WILL IT TIME BE ERADICATED FROM WITHIN AND WITHOUT !!!

      Sep 1, 2016 at 4:37 am

      Ahmad, will you be surprised if I tell you that I am an apostate and have left Islam. I realised that in Islam there is no free thinking. Everything from birth to death is governed by a book and some traditions which are also not rock solid because there are “true” and “false” traditions (hadiths). These are left to the interpretations of some clerics to interpret if they are true or false.
      Moreover, the Koran to a thinking person is a hotch potch of things which if dissected by a discerning mind reeks of BS and promotes mayhem in the guise of religion.
      Historically too Mohammed is known to be a warlord who had a political agenda, whatever the mullahs and maulanas may tell you.
      If you can think (which I doubt) you would do a double take on this “religion” you follow.

      Take my advice and look at your “religion” through logical eyes.

      I would love a reply from you.

      Thanks a lot for your kind invitation to become part of the ummah Abu Ahmad. It’s obvious you love Robert Spencer and all of us other kuffar very much as Robert received so many death threats and you killed the people in Paris, Nice, Orlando to name only a few places, the list is long. I understand life is miserable for us infidels and so you free us from this miserable life. That’s very nice but being ignorant we see it from another perspective, we like our miserable lives and we’d like to continue them in peace.

      I know it’s hard hard for you enlightened Muslims to see life from the point of view of ignorant kuffar, but we we can’t be converted we don’t understand the benefits of a religion where the adherents like to kill other people to make life better.

      Cheers! I’ll drink to that. I’ve never tried Israeli wine but I must look some out. A nice Californian Merlot will do for now.

    To drink wine over where the evil moslims have been buried is more likely to make the wine taste bitter than to hurt moslims in any way whatsoever.

    These people are forever looking for something about which to complain. The reason they fight each other is because there are no non moslims close enough to hurt or kill. When moslims live among non moslims, they are forever being offended and having their feelings hurt and suffering some form of *abuse* at the hands of normal people…according to them and their spokesmen.
    And it’s because islam…the worship of satan the devil and his wild beast…makes one miserable if that one is not acting on the evil impulse to rape, murder or commit other crimes and offenses against non worshippers of satan the devil and his wild beast.

    Too bad they can’t all be told to “go to your room” and we wouldn’t have to hear any more from them.
    Soon, the prophecy will be fulfilled that satan and his beast will be removed from the realm of mankind.

    Is there anything about the infidels that these moslems like? How could an innocent ”wine festival” disturb the peace of the peadophile Mo’s dead comrades?

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 31, 2016 at 7:58 pm

      There are *lots* of things about Infidels that Muslims like–robbing and pirating them, kidnapping them and holding them for ransom, raping them, enslaving them, and slaughtering them outright.

    I don’t even drink wine, but if it’s offensive to Muslims I may consider taking it up.

      Not long ago, I heard Dracula was also going to take up the drinking of wine since he is actually more fed up with Muslims than ever before——-more so than even back in the 15th century. Yes, this is what I heard. And he’s apparently working on a new impaling device as well.

      “I don’t even drink wine”
      You could always attend the Muslim Whine Festival. Just go in disguise. Wear a Burqa or Hijab. 🙂

  22. gravenimage says

    The wine festival, according to Al-Sudani, violates the cemetery and manifests a provocation against the feelings of the Arab Palestinians and Muslims world-wide….
    …………………………

    And what does such a “provocation” of Muslim “feelings” lead to? Oh, right–violence and bloodshed. God, I hate Islam.

    This wine festival has actually been going on for many years:

    https://www.itraveljerusalem.com/evt/jerusalem-wine-festival-at-the-israel-museum/

    I’m not much of a wine drinker, but I understand many Israeli wines are excellent.

    It also has music and cultural events–music and anything resembling culture are also Haram in Islam.

    Muslims are always offended by non-muslims way of life . Will it happen , one day , that non-muslims can also say there are offended by muslims attitudes , ideas, way of dressing , shaving…..

  24. Blangwort says

    Aug 31, 2016 at 9:38 pm

    I am offended by much of Islam. I am offended that they build houses of lies and hate called Mosques, and then hide behind the cloak of religion.

    Is my offense somehow less than their offense? Gosh if my opinions of them mattered, they wouldn’t even be living in Israel. But my offense is irrelevant.

    And so is theirs.

  25. mohamonator says

    Aug 31, 2016 at 10:23 pm

    A “Rape, Murder and Martyrdom Festival” would meet with the enthusiastic, even fanatic, approval of of the mohammedans. But a “Wine Festival”? That would be a sacrilege!

  26. Frank Anderson says

    Aug 31, 2016 at 10:54 pm

    Can anyone remember any event in 1400 years where muslims declined an opportunity to “affront” infidels? Infidels must always dance around muslim sensitities; but muslims could care less about ours. Why should we be surprised that the “beat goes on”?

    In all fairness to islam and moslems, a camel urine festival should be announced immediately. A friendly competition you might say, to see which festival is more popular. allah (sic) might make an appearance.

    • f c king says

      Sep 1, 2016 at 4:05 am

      Very good idea. Holy mo himself might join in on the festival of his miraculous medicine.

      The Holy Camel Urine Beverage Festival kind of has a very islamic ring to it.

    Did I read somewhere that Israle condemned the French burkini ban?

    • Frank Anderson says

      Sep 1, 2016 at 1:50 am

      To be so small a demographic “group” Jews reflect on almost every question “a whole spectrum of opinion”. There are some Jews (in the US about 25 percent) who are alert, aware and determined to resist the Islamic promises made to them. There are others (in the US about 75 percent) who are incredibly stupid, unaware and deliberately ignorant. The latter simply deny the truth as it slits their throats, crushes them with automobiles, blows up their buses, and slaughters their children. Locally there is a name for that segment of deniers, Suicidal Liberal Jews, that was appended by other Jews who recognize them for what they are.

      I have written before a great quote, “There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.” These otherwise brilliant and insightful deniers refuse to see what is before their very eyes. The irony is that most of the 25 percent will do all they can to protect the 75 percent until the day they wake up, while the 75 percent will do nothing, and even oppose the 25 percent. Amazing, isn’t it?

    • f c king says

      Sep 1, 2016 at 4:10 am

      The burkini might actually be a good idea, for most muslim women. They seem to get quite obese very early. Hip waders with a deep sea diving helmet might be another form of modest muslima swim wear acceptable to the devout ?

  29. f c king says

      Please allow me to share the wisest statements I have heard in my life, and which in a major way made my life better:

      1. “Wisdom is its own authority.” It doesn’t matter who speaks it or where it is found. Wisdom speaks for itself.
      2. “Wisdom is all around us.” It is in the Bible and everywhere else. Wherever Wisdom is in the hands of humans there is also some measure of error and deception. The challenge is to hear the Wisdom, distinguish it from error and deception, then put it to work in our lives.
      3. “Ask every question repeatedly.” Every time a question is asked the tarnish is reduced, but never eliminated. The Truth has nothing to fear from questions because it comes through cleaner, brighter and clearer.

      May I suggest that instead of looking for authority to look for Wisdom?

      • citycat says

        Sep 2, 2016 at 9:24 pm

        Do not cast pearls of wisdom or truth before Muslims.
        Muslims will take your pearls and use then against you.

        • Frank Anderson says

          Sep 2, 2016 at 11:55 pm

          The ideas I shared, which are given to me by a man who would not “piss on me if I were on fire” are so foreign to Muslims that there is nothing to fear from sharing them.

          As there are at least 3 sides to every story, there are also at least 3 distinct views to any discussion, Agree, Disagree and Undecided. The goal I think we share is to help the Undecided become Informed and Agree, to promote the action that is necessary to protect us, our families, our society from those who Disagree who wish to destroy us to bring us the peace of the grave, the only real peace in Islam.

          Those who Disagree will almost always disagree with little or no chance of changing their “minds”, which if present at all are certainly closed to any new or additional analysis. New thought strongly suggests the possibility of reform, which is totally prohibited by the teaching of 1400 years. There are always remarkable exceptions who deserve the admiration and support of all who wish to live in freedom and liberty. “The Truth has nothing to fear from doubt (questions), It comes away from each question clearer, brighter and stronger.” Nothing terrifies muslims as much as the truth.

  31. J-A palmaer says

    We borrow a text, which is one of the sources speaking of why “food” is made holy. Acts 10, New Testament… Well, I don’t know if Noah is represented in the “holy book” of the faith among people who are aggressive against Jews and Christians, but, Noah is said to have planted the first vineyard… I guess he ate grapes and tried hard to produce nice wine, as well.

    Many years ago, I met some immigrants…who all said they were Muslims – they all feared one another – and I was amazed at this fear…and one more thing perplexed me – they hurried down to get alcohol, you know, wine and stringer stuff…

    (HCSB Free) Peter’s Vision
    9 The next day, as they were traveling and nearing the city, Peter went up to pray on the housetop about noon. 10 Then he became hungry and wanted to eat, but while they were preparing something, he went into a visionary state. 11 He saw heaven opened and an object that resembled a large sheet coming down, being lowered by its four corners to the earth. 12 In it were all the four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, and the birds of the sky. 13 Then a voice said to him, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat!”
    14 “No, Lord!” Peter said. “For I have never eaten anything common and ritually unclean!”
    15 Again, a second time, a voice said to him, “What God has made clean, you must not call common.” 16 This happened three times, and then the object was taken up into heaven.

    Offended by a public display of Wine? But not offended by public EXECUTIONS recorded in High Definition and put on the World wide web for everyone to view!

    It is a bit odd that Islam is dedicated to the destruction of the jews, and yet still complains that jews do unislamic things, claiming it is a deliberate provocation of islam, How many people raise a glass of wine and think ” I’m only doing this to spite muhammed – I really I hate this stuff,BUT I must annoy those self proclaimed peaceful people (despite the evidence) s that they have an excuse to kill their way to gangster paradise.”

    The author claims Israel is desecrating an Islamic historical site by holding a wine festival in a mall that partially sets on a Muslim cemetery. But Islamic extremists have desecrated historical Christian sites throughout the mid-east by destroying them.

  35. Gee says

    Sep 1, 2016 at 8:44 am

    Let’s get this right

    Rape, FGM, beheading, enslaving and genocide are Islamic values.

    Drinking wine and beer, eating during the day, choosing one’s own religion are an affront to Islam.

    Let’s get very intolerant of Islamofascism

  36. WESTPAC Spy says

    Sep 1, 2016 at 11:33 pm

    Any wine fest that isn’t an affront to Islam just isn’t a wine fest. In a perfect world it would be preceded by a 2nd Amendment machinegun shootfest, then followed by a Hawaiian luau style pig roast.

    May the example of Muhammad guide you to the truth. Clearly the Jews great crime against the Believers. Such as taking land Muslims and desecrating cemeteries with wine. Israel should be praised for this

  39. Adrian Rainbow says

    Sep 2, 2016 at 4:40 am

    Regardless of how Muslim scholars twist it, this is a mandate to make wine!
    Surat An-Nahl (16:67) And out of the fruits of date-palms and grapes you derive intoxicants as well as wholesome sustenance.55 Surely there is a sign for those who use reason.
