Pious Muslims busy across the world

There has been a remarkable convergence of expressions of Islamic piety across the world today.

First in Israel, a Muslim kills a Jewish teenager with a pickax:

A pickax-wielding Palestinian terrorist… infiltrated the Jewish community of Bat Ayin in Etzion Bloc region near Bethlehem and murdered Shlomo Nativ, a 13-year-old Israeli boy, splitting his skull with a pickax.A terrorist group calling itself the Martyrs of Imad Mughniyeh, named for the Hezbollah terror mastermind who was killed last year, claimed responsibility for the attacks in an e-mail to The Associated Press. The same e-mail also said the terror group Islamic Jihad also was involved.

Then in Egypt, we have Muslim villagers going on a pogrom of Bahai religious group because one Muslim described that a particular village was “full of Bahais”.

Egyptian villagers have set fire to Bahai homes after a member of the religion said on television the village was “full of Bahais,”… The villagers also threatened the village’s roughly 30 Bahais with death, the official said, after which all of them fled. The arson attacks were the culmination of unrest that began with stone throwing immediately after a Bahai named Ahmed called a television talk show that was discussing the religious minority…

Reading this AFP report one gets the impression that those darn Bahai are indeed at fault, not to mention the Copts whose churches get burned down on regular basis just like the Serbs in Kosovo.

Not to be outdone, though, the Swat Valley Muslims in Pakistan released a video of a woman being beaten publicly while two other Muslim men held her to the ground. From Associated Press:

The two minute video shows a woman in a body-covering burqa face down on the ground with two men holding her arms and feet. A third man in a black turban with a long beard whips her backside repeatedly, causing her to scream repeatedly and shout “Stop it, stop it! It is painful!”

A crowd of men watches silently in the background, and a voice can be heard saying “hold her hands tightly.”

Meanwhile, the recently indicted Sudanese President was greeted by thousands “of chanting, singing people” as he made his way at the 22-member Arab League meeting. A deserving welcome for the modern-day Saladin who conquered Sudan for Islam – never mind that he is indicted for genocide.

… and then we have Netherlands badgering Serbia because some loose general by the name of Mladic inflicted the first defeat to the Jihadist forces in Europe.

Of course Serbia is to be badgered not just by Netherlands but by England who is already seeking ways to Islamize their armed forces. From the London Guardian:

The defense minister, Bob Ainsworth, has appealed to British Muslims to joined the armed forces, saying that it was “vitally important that our army, navy and air force are reflective of the hugely diverse society in which we live”.

It is just mesmerizing what is it that the Brits are Guarding after all.
