“The concept of Jihad is a beautiful thing, and logical to those with a sincere heart. It tells the human being to stand up and fight against those who bring evil and oppression on this earth, and by standing up – roll back that oppression until the people are free from it.”

What’s he got to say about Domestic Violence, Forced Marriages and peasant Patriarchy in general?

1. If Israeli occupation is the problem, what’s your objection to returning to the previous situation? Unless you are thinking of bringing back the mandate or Ottoman rule, 48-67 is what you’ve got.

2. Do you really think that the article you quoted is on par with calling to kill Jews worldwide?

The protest ended when the commander of the country’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, Mohammad Ali Jafari, sent a letter asking them to end the demonstration and calling for a “mental and political jihad” against the enemy.

Well, if Israeli occupation is causing all the trouble, returning to the previous situation would appear to be a good idea, don’t you think?

I suppose that depends on how far back [or to what previous situation] you would want to return to, doesn’t it?

Report: Islamist site compiling list of U.K. Jews to target over Gaza op

An Islamic extremist Web site is believed to be drawing up a list of prominent British Jews to target over Israel’s offensive against Hamas in Gaza, The Sun reported on Wednesday.

According to the British newspaper, Amy Winehouse record producer Mark Ronson and Foreign Secretary David Miliband were among names discussed on the online forum Ummah.

The report came as a British Jewish watchdog group, the Community Security Trust, said there has been a rise in anti-Semitic incidents in Britain since the upsurge of hostilities in Gaza.

The British daily quoted the Ummah site as saying, “Saladin1970″ asks for help compiling “a list of those who support Israel.”

“Abuislam” asks: “Have we got a list of top Jews we can target? Can someone post names and addresses?”

Tony Blair’s Middle East envoy and tennis partner Lord Levy, TV’s The Apprentice boss Sir Alan Sugar and Princess Diana’s divorce lawyer Anthony Julius were also reportedly among those mentioned on the site.

And how did you reach that conclusion, Mark?
