Muslims Uber Alles

The Palestinian Authority’s Mufti in Jerusalem is threatening that if Jews set foot in the Temple Mount, there will be a “bloodbath.”

Ahmed Abdel Rahman, a senior political advisor to Arafat, said: "This could be the trigger for a third intifada. How else can we interpret the stupidity of Israel's police minister, who announced last week that Jews would be allowed to visit the al-Aqsa mosque?"

Rahman was speaking at a memorial ceremony held in Ramallah for three Palestinian journalists killed in the current violence.

He described statements made by Police Minister Tsachi Hanegbi to this effect as idiotic and naive.

Hanegbi said last week that Jews and non-Muslim tourists would soon be permitted to visit the Temple Mount, which has been closed by Muslim religious authorities since the outbreak of violence more than two years ago.

The PA Mufti in Jerusalem, Ikrimah Sabri, warned over the weekend that allowing Jews to enter the Temple Mount would result in a bloodbath.

The ever-tolerant religion of peace. The mere presence of Jews in a place usurped by Muslims means violence and death. And the world gives them a pass for this appalling bigotry and hatred.
