At this point, very few will believe someone who says, "Paul is dead!"

Go Sir Paul!

Radical? He sounds like all the rest.

sacrifice operatives aka splodey dopes

Good for Sir Paul. Hope he sticks to his decision and does not capitulate.

I didn't know Paul had it in him. Well done! It's always easier to cave than to stand strong.

My respect for this man has increased exponentially.

“If he values his life, Mr. McCartney must not come to Israel,” Bakri was quoted as saying. “He will not be safe there. The sacrifice operatives will be waiting for him.”

Crossing the line.

/don't [expletive deleted] with the remaining Baetles

Wow. Stay safe, Paul.

/"sacrifice operatives"? Good grief

I never knew Paul had it in him....I would have guessed an apolitical, don't- want-to-get-involved-with-that-sort-of-thing mentality. Good for you, Paul!

Sir Paul should play this and dedicate it to Omar.

re: #6 Quilly Mammoth

I didn't know Paul had it in him. Well done! It's always easier to cave than to stand strong.

Looks like he is more than just "silly love songs".

At least he's not singing "Give Israel Back To The Palis"...

Sacrifice Operative? I think it would be a good idea for him to practice sacrificing himself and see how it goes.

Settle this in the new courts in Britain.

Good Evening all!

Well, I may start actually referring to Paul and Sir Paul now.

Good on ya, Sir Paul.

Good for Sir Paul! Hoping that he continues to stick to his guns.

I pray he has the courage to follow thru

There should be clear and unarguable consequence for making such threats.

Ah, so Sir Paul, is a Knight after all.

For G-d and Country!

“I was approached by different groups and political bodies who asked me not to come here. I refused. I do what I think, and I have many friends who support Israel,” McCartney said in an interview with Yedioth Ahronoth.

I already thought of Paul as one of the greatest songwriters ever, but my respect for him just went up a notch, if that's even possible.

"Sacrifice Operative"

Captain, we've detected a space-time anomaly that's connected Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany, and Revolutionary Marxism. I think our best chance to contain it is to re-route all power through the main deflector...

/FIRE FOR EFFECT!

Hey the guy survived being married to Heather Mills...so a bunch of radical Islamic Terrorist should be a walk in the park. LOL!

It's too bad the British court system doesn't have the same integrity and guts as Sir Paul.

“I was approached by different groups and political bodies who asked me not to come here. I refused. I do what I think, and I have many friends who support Israel,” McCartney said in an interview with Yedioth Ahronoth.

I had a fairly low opinion of the man, mainly due to his animal rights idiocy, but for any Brit to stand up and voice anything other than their standard reflexive disgust towards Israel, well, that takes guts.

One wonders, with great dread, what John Lennon's political opinions would have been like at this stage of history. Considering the Yoko influence and the increasing moonbattery of some of those stars from that generation, I fear he would have been supporting the other side.

Omar Bakri, an Islamic preacher, said McCartney’s decision to perform as part of Israel’s 60th anniversary celebrations made him the enemy of Muslims worldwide.

A religious man issues a death threat to a guy because he doesn't approve of where he plays music.

Nope, they'll just bury this story, and if anybody brings it up, well, this guy Bakri is just some extremist who doesn't represent, well, anything... So shut up about it already, what are you, some kind of racist right-winger? We're all tolerant here!

Well his late wife Linda Eastman was Jewish, maybe she supported Israel too and enlightened Paul.

re: #35 RTLM

Poor John, he actually thought he could walk amongst the groundlings and blend. Total disconnect with the reality of insanity and evil. Of course when you're married to Yoko and have heard her "sing",that might skew your perceptions of normalcy.

I don't know Birkie- if there was one person the palis could threaten that would upset the largest number of people- it's probably Paul McCartney. I really can't think of another celebrity who people would be more upset by his murder.

I don't think Bakri is in a position to have anything done, or to know what's going on around him. He wants attention.

As to anyone that hates Israel...I say: just go there. There is no way you can go to Israel, speak to the people, feel the culture (not the politics), and not LOVE it. Seriously, the "Conflict" is just .01 of what Israel is, and if the "anti-Israel" were not so closed minded & actually spent time in Israel, they would realize that it is the closest to what they want from the world, than any other place on earth.

Just wondering how the New York Times, PMS-NBC, and the MTV crowd will spin this into support for the practitioners of the ROP. After all, Sir John must be a vile racist since he did help record the "White Album."

If only his countrymen shared a tiny portion of his courage in dealing with the islamofreaks.

Maybe Sir Paul can go on tour with Ted Nugent. With Ted's stance on several issues and his guns I dont think there would be many probs there! hehehehe.

Give the Islamists a "fook ya!" for me, Sir Paul.

Radical Islamic “cleric” Omar Bakri advocating is hirabah or barbaric murder.

Omar Bakri is essentially advertising for hit men or sploders who will not only try to kill Paul McCartney but any innocent women and children in the area. That is hirabah (barbarism) at its worst.

This type of crowd incitement is worse than yelling fire in a crowed theater. It is advocating mass murder.

Radical “cleric” Omar Bakri is No longer a civilian but lieutenant in the 7th century army of death.

Omar Bakri needs and an attitude adjustment or something stronger.

Bakri added, “Instead of supporting the people of Palestine in their suffering, McCartney is celebrating the atrocities of the occupiers,” Bakri was quoted as saying. “The one who is under occupation is supposed to be getting the help.”

Actually, the whole world--some parts more than others--are under the occupation of militant Islam. Sir Paul is a Liberator!

Sir Paul may just be one of the Brits that gets it. His roots are Northern working-class, and he was born in a city that at the time was getting blitzed by the Luftwaffe pretty badly.

Since Britain will no longer be safe for you, may I suggest Texas or Tennessee as a future home?
r.

I assume this is all just part and parcel of the message of love, peace and tolerance from Islam. Play a concert – die at the hands of “sacrifice operatives”.

Murderous zealots like Bakri are one of the biggest problems that peaceful Muslims have. Their other main problem is that we simply do not hear them loudly condemning this behavior. I have yet to form an opinion as to whether it is because they really do condone it or whether they fear for their lives should they dare to speak their minds. Either scenario is disturbing.

The good imam should be politely told by the Queen that the British people are quite displeased with this pronouncement, and that he should retract it or suffer "the displeasure of the Crown".

He should be given a week. If the retraction is not forthcoming by that time, he should be assassinated by operatives from MI6.

re: #54 Sharmuta

I don't know Birkie- if there was one person the palis could threaten that would upset the largest number of people- it's probably Paul McCartney. I really can't think of another celebrity who people would be more upset by his murder.

Possibly Michael Palin. But your point still stands.

“I was approached by different groups and political bodies who asked me not to come here. I refused. I do what I think, and I have many friends who support Israel,”

IOW - "fuck you Brian Eno, Roger Waters, Belle & Sebastian, Bobby Gillespie and the rest of the fashionably antisemitic liberal establishment in British showbiz"

Take back the knighthood and canonise this guy.

We love you Paul for standing up when it counts.

I dislike Paul McCartney and his politics normally (Tony Blair and New Labour did 1 thing correctly since he got in power and that was to stand by America), however my respect for him has just gone up a lot.

update

from that fascist scumbag's website:

Lies and fabrications are typical characteristics of the Western media who seem determined in attacking and vilifying sincere Muslim scholars from around the world. Recent allegations directed at Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad's comments in relation to Sir Paul McCartney's visit to the Pirate State of Israel help to highlight this point.

Let it be made clear that Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad in no way or form threatened the life or wealth of Sir Paul McCartney, but rather demonstrated the discontent felt by millions of Muslims from around the world over his decision to participate in the anniversary of the brutal Israeli occupation.

blah blah naqba blah etc

Sir Paul doesn't like anybody telling him what to do;especially nutters like Omar Bakri(unfortunately Omar's sidekick Anjem Choudryis still about) spewing hate.

I'm surprised there's no uproar if Slayer or Metallica plays. McCartney is pretty mild and tame by today's standards.

I hope that Paul has a great trip, an enthusiastic sold out audience, and gets to see Jerusalem.

re: #23 zombie

I already thought of Paul as one of the greatest songwriters ever, but my respect for him just went up a notch, if that's even possible.

I always thought that Paul McCartney (again, my personal opinion) was a better songwriter then John Lennon.

Not only is Sir McCartney the richest man in England, his net worth is reputed to be $1.5 Billion.

Fortunately, McCartney believes that "All you need is love", because if he were a lesser man threatened to be killed by some Islamist expatriate punk, he might find it amusing to return the "favor".

Note that Islamic threats against artists who want to play in Israel aren't unprecedented.

Madonna (ostensibly herself a Jewish convert) recently cancelled a series of concerts in Israel after Palestinian threats towards her and her children.

So, another threat that another Muslim is being allowed to express without any retribution.

Well, it sounds like Paul gets it, and congrats for not folding. More people, no matter who they are need to stand up for their principles against these morons......murderous morons, that is.
