Palestinians used Bible toilet paper and Hindu Symbols were printed on Toilet Seat Covers But these desecrations of holy book and symbols received little notice - Why?

While Muslims have responded with deadly outrage to the now-retracted report by Newsweek of alleged Quran desecration by U.S. interrogators, there was little outcry three years ago when Islamic terrorists holed up in Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity reportedly used the Bible as toilet paper.

as Muslims have contempt for all other faiths, to answer them, all the rest of us need to band together to exercise and actionize our contempt for Islam. Islam needs to be held in contempt, not because they hold us in contempt, but because they are condenmable through their actions of throat slitting, global terrorism, Suicide (actually Homicide) mass murders. And if we are to be effective, we need to speak with them using the only language which these understand - that of Daisy Cutters, MOABs, Nukes and Neutrons. If there is an easier way out to destroy the barbarism of Islam, please do let us know!

A few years back there was the case of a toilet accessories company marketing toilet seat covers with images of Hindu gods printed on them. The Hindus did not riot, they did not burn flags or effigies, nor did they threaten a holy war (euphemism for mass murder) against anyone.

In October 2000, after Israeli troops evacuated the city of Nablus as a peacemaking gesture, scores of Palestinians stormed into the Joseph's Tomb compound and destroyed the site believed to be the burial place of the biblical patriarch Joseph – the son of Jacob who was sold by his brothers into slavery and later became the viceroy of Egypt.

The 1993 Oslo Accords put Joseph's Tomb under Israeli jurisdiction, but on Oct. 7, 2000, then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak ordered a unilateral retreat, based on a Palestinian agreement to protect the site.

Within hours of the Israeli withdrawal, smoke was seen billowing from the tomb as an Arab crowd burned Jewish prayer books and other holy objects. Palestinians used pickaxes, hammers and later bulldozers to tear apart the stone building. The dome of the tomb was painted green, and a mosque was subsequently erected in its place.

Rabbi Hillel Lieberman, who lived nearby, headed by foot to the tomb when he heard of its desecration, hoping, his family said, to save any Torah scrolls or other holy objects that might have been left intact. Lieberman disappeared. His bullet-ridden body was found the next day in a cave.

Nathan Katz, professor of religion at Florida International University, told WorldNetDaily: "Joseph's tomb is one of many, many examples of a lack of Muslim respect for religious sites and objects, and the silence of Islamic leaders following such desecrations."

He cited the desecration of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem by Palestinian gunmen in April 2002, and the dynamiting of 2,000-year old giant Buddhist statues at Bamian, Afghanistan, by the Taliban regime in March 2001.

"In fact, those statues, destroyed by the Taliban, were first defaced when the Arabs came to Afghanistan in the late seventh and early eighth century. They cut the faces off the statues then. Later, the Taliban completely blew them off with explosive that the 7th century Arabs did not have to complete the job then.

ANd now just because of an unproved story of flushing the Quran down the toilet, mobs of Muslim go berserk with rioting across the Muslim world resulting in many deaths and injuries.

Newsweek's Periscope column written by Michael Isikoff and John Barry included a brief item alleging U.S. military investigators at the Guantanamo Bay prison found evidence that interrogators placed copies of the Quran down the toilet in an effort to get prisoners to talk.

Despite Newsweek's retraction, the outrage in the Muslim world continues. In Saudi Arabia yesterday, the country's top religious authority, Grand Mufti Adul-Aziz al-Sheik, condemned the alleged desecration and called for an investigation "to alleviate the sorrow that befell Muslims." "We condemn and denounce this criminal act against Muslims' most sacred item," al-Sheik said.

Afghanistan's government said Newsweek should be held responsible for damages caused by the demonstrations, and Pakistan said the magazine's apology and retraction were "not enough."

In contrast, during the 2002 church siege, the muted complaints of Christians under the Muslim-dominated Palestinian Authority gained little traction.

The Palestinian gunmen, members of Yasser Arafat's Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, seized church stockpiles of food and "ate like greedy monsters" until the food ran out, while more than 150 civilians went hungry, the Washington Times report said.

The indulgence lasted about two weeks into the 39-day siege, when the food and drink ran out, according to an account by four Greek Orthodox priests trapped inside. A church helper told the Times the quantity of food consumed by the gunmen in the first 15 days should have lasted six months.

Angry Orthodox priests showed reporters empty bottles of whiskey, champagne, vodka, cognac and French wine on the floor along with hundreds of cigarette butts.

"They should be ashamed of themselves. They acted like animals, like greedy monsters. Come, I will show you more," said one Christian priest, who declined to give his name.

Computers were taken apart and a television set dismantled for use as a hiding place for weapons.

Now as Muslims have contempt for all other faiths, to answer them, all the rest of us need to band together to exercise and actionize our contempt for Islam. Islam needs to be held in contempt, not because they hold us in contempt, but because they are condenmable through their actions of throat slitting, global terrorism, Suicide (actually Homicide) mass murders. And if we are to be effective, we need to speak with them using the only language which these understand - that of Daisy Cutters, MOABs, Nukes and Neutrons. If there is an easier way out to destroy the barbarism of Islam, please do let us know!
