“You will find the Jews and the idolaters the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe.” (Qur’an 5:82)
All too often in practice, this amounts to Muslims being the most vehement of mankind in hostility to the Jews.
“Al-Aqsa guard attacked Israeli policeman for saying ‘good morning,'” Jerusalem Post, December 28, 2021 (thanks to Elizabeth):
A guard working for the Waqf on the Temple Mount was arrested in the past week after he attacked an Israeli police officer at the site, according to an indictment issued against him on Tuesday.
On December 21, the guard, Louay Abu Al-Sa’ad, disrupted Israel Police officers who were arresting a Waqf employee on the Temple Mount. He filmed the officers and stayed close to them in a “threatening manner,” as well as raising his voice. The Waqf guard refused to calm down, even after being warned that he was disrupting the officers’ work.
On Sunday morning, Al-Sa’ad saw one of the guards who had arrested the Waqf employee while sitting in front of the al-Aqsa Mosque. The officer saw al-Sa’ad looking at him and wished him a “good morning.” The Waqf guard proceeded to run after the officer as he yelled “don’t tell me good morning!” and began punching and kicking him.
The officer managed to pull out his baton, causing the guard to run away into the mosque and lock the doors. The officer waited for more police to arrive and, half an hour later, the guard exited the mosque and was arrested. According to Palestinian reports, two other Waqf employees were arrested at the site on Sunday as well….

Correction. An Israeli guaed “insulted” a palestinian guard by saying Good Morning. How thoughtless, how lacking in sensitivity KEN

If this wasn’t so serious it would be almost comical.
Notice how this brave soldier of allah ran straight into the barracks and locked the door!
Next will be the reports of how those nasty Jews hurt the feelings of this poor mudslime and he was forced to defend himself.

Reminds me of something I once read in a PG Wodehouse book, where a drunk starts a brawl against a fellow diner whose only fault was to thank him graciously
OLD GUY says
A Happy New Year would be if mankind would step back and stop killing each other over the words written in the Quran and Bible. Man needs to realize that God/Allah really doesn’t need our help in destroying his enemies or those who offend him. God /Allah gave us life I don’t think he gave us the right to decide who should live or die based on what we think.

OLD GUY–with all respect–where are Jews or Christians killing each other based on the Bible?
The Qur’an, certainly, though.

Israel: Al-Aqsa guard assaults Israeli policeman for saying ‘good morning’
…………….
Yes–how grotesque is this? If instead the Al-Aqsa guard had wished the Israeli policeman a good morning–unlikely, but never mind–probably the officer would have replied with a hearty “same to you!”.
