Another Palestinian Arab blood libel

Palestinian Authority (P.A.) farmers, police, and media accuse Israelis in Samaria of releasing wild boars to uproot Arabs’ crops. The Arabs did not explain how Israelis could tame wild boars and direct them to damage Arabs’ crops but not Israelis’ crops. Actually, boars have damaged Israeli crops near Haifa.

They also had claimed that Jews in Jerusalem breed and released rats to harm Arabs there. Again, how do rats distinguish Arabs from Jews?

They also claimed that Israel spreads disease. Again, how does one confine bacteria to the other side of borders? Israel works on eradicating disease. Some Arab states refuse to cooperate with Israel on that effort of mutual benefit.

The Arab accusations are like the weird blood libel charges that Jews, contrary to Jewish ethics and culinary practice which abhors blood in meat, kill Christian children to drink their blood. Now you see the kind of people that confront Israel.

They just love conspiracy theories don't they? Remember it is never the fault of a muslim.

140 slain as Muslims riot in China

Reporting from Beijing -- China's worst ethnic violence in years broke out Sunday in the northwestern city of Urumqi, leaving 140 people dead and more than 800 injured, the state news agency Xinhua reported.

The unrest pitted Uighurs, a long-aggrieved Muslim minority, against the Han Chinese, who increasingly dominate the far-flung Xinjiang region. With the death toll climbing over the course of the day, the violence appeared to be far deadlier than that last year in the Tibetan region.

Images from the city of 2 million showed flames raging from overturned cars and black smoke billowing over downtown.

Urumqi was virtually closed down today, with vehicles barred in much of the city, telephone lines and the Internet down.

Chinese bloggers wrote that at least one bomb exploded during the incident and that about 100 public buses were destroyed.

The Chinese government accused Uighur exiles in the U.S. of masterminding what was described by state television as a rampage of "beating, smashing, robbing and burning."

But representatives of the Uighurs, a Muslim minority, countered that they were holding a peaceful demonstration that turned ugly because of government brutality....

Right. You know that any violence between Muslims and non-Muslims is never the fault of the Muslims.

Fireworks depicting Uncle Sam fighting Muslims withdrawn

Fireworks called Run Hadji Run were pulled off the shelves of a Wisconsin store after Minnesota Muslims complained that they were racist.

The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN) said that the name and the packaging are demeaning. One side of the package has a drawing of Uncle Sam yanking the long beard of a man in traditional Muslim attire, while the other shows a Stealth bomber flying over a group of Arabs riding camels. In addition, "Hadji" is an honorific for those who have completed the pilgrimage to Mecca.

"I've seen other fireworks that I thought were pushing the line on being offensive, but this clearly went too far," Jessica Zikri, the communications director of CAIR-MN, said Saturday. "Hopefully, this will help keep other groups from being targeted this way."...

I love the name. The muslims need to grow some skin.
