This enormous turnout of Arab Israelis shows the power of Islam even in Israel. At least they weren’t violent. Ted Belman
Some 30,000 people attended a Northern Islamic Movement rally held in Umm al-Fahm, in northern Israel, in protest of the film mocking Prophet Mohammed.
The film, titled “Innocence of Muslin,” has sparked Muslim riots worldwide. The violence has so far claimed the lives of over 30 people, including US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other American diplomats.
Head of the Islamic Movement, Sheikh Raed Salah, attended the rally, as did other Arab leaders.
Protested hoisted banners condemning the film, and chanted: “We will sacrifice our blood and soul for the Prophet Mohammed.”
Islamic Movement Spokesman attorney Zahy Nujeidat told the crowd: “We will protect the Prophet Mohammed until our last breath.”
High Arab Monitoring Committee Chairman Mohammad Zeidan added: “Any person that offends the Prophet must be punished. Such people are scum and they are worthless. This is happening because the world feels that Islam is expanding. We will be victorious.”
MK Talab El-Sana (United Arab List-Ta’al), who attended the rally, said that,” the Prophet Mohammed brought a message of reform to the world and to humanity. What has the United States brought? The annihilation of the Indians, turning Africans into slaves and using atomic bombs against the citizens of Japan.
“We are not surprised that they are trying to target Islam,” he said.
Will the film on killing Bin Laden, produced by Kathryn Bigelow, still be released after the election or will Sony pull it? If a 14min video, which few musloids have probably seen, enraged so many musloids imagine what a full blown feature film will do!
I think Oblama spiked the football too many times over the Bin Laden killing & who is to say that he himself is not responsible for the rioting because of those instances when he did tout his toughness?
I think it shows the willingness of Islam to curtail free speech. The film is a pretext the Islamic leaders are using to foment protest and violence. Their goal is worldwide dominance, and they pose one of the greatest dangers to the free world. El-Sana’s statement is hypocritical. Look what the Islamists have done in their persecution, enslavement, and murder of Christians and Jews over the centuries, actions sanctioned by their own Quran. Add to that the treatment of women in their own culture, and you can see that this is not a religion of peace as they claim.

We know that the attack in Libya was premeditated and had nothing to do with the film that the Obama administration is scapegoating to cover up its own foreign policy failures and the negligence of the State Department in providing adequate security for our diplomats in Libya.

EXACTLY! Because Islam is expanding, they say.
Western headline-catching acts of defiance of Islam are isolated, desperate, and often clumsy attempts at saving our right to freedom of speech. BUT WE’RE NOT STOPPING ISLAM. Not with those silly cartoons and those posters calling them savages (instead of using solid facts to expose Islam’s sordid nature). We’re welcoming them as immigrants, asylum seekers and infiltrators. We’re weakening and distorting our laws to accommodate their sensitivities. We are slowly morphing into Dhimmi societies where their rights supercede the rights of the rest of the population. This is blatantly clear in Israel where the Muslim takeover (of land in particular) advances implacably, with the collaboration of Jewish lawmakers and enforcers.
Let’s hope that one of these days Israeli Jews will gather (peacefully of course) in huge numbers in front of the Knesset demanding respect for Jewish human rights, and in front of consulates representing governments that promote the partition of Israel in clear violation of international law (League of Nations Mandate/St Remo Conference).
