Israel-Palestine

Ghastly, demented, incredible barbarism in Gaza

2005-05-31

Hat tip: LGF

Palestinian children collect body parts of two Palestinian militants of the Al Aqsa Martyrs brigades killed east of Gaza city, Sunday, May 29, 2005. the two militants were killed and three seriously wounded when explosives they were carrying detonated in their car, Palestinians said.

What kind of deranged subhuman diseased fuck lets children do this? It's been suggested elsewhere that AP has mis-captioned this picture and that is not what the little guys are doing at all. In that case, the deranged sick fucks are at AP (but I think we knew that).

#4 I see, Frozen Al. Jews have the same custom, as do most Christian groups, but they typically do not send children to do the work.

#3 Moslems consider it important to bury the bodies of the dead quickly. To leave a body (or parts of a body)lying around unburied is an act of extreme disrespect.

#2 Is the first part a question?

If so, no, I do not think that. There are few suicide bombers in Saudi Arabia or the Gulf States and Iraq has a sizable and diverse Christian minority, far more so than Gaza where most of these ghastly swarms appear to happen.
Beyond that, the sanctification of Jesus's blood etc. as I understand it, does not involve sending children out to collect the literal material in person.

At one time, Christians did collect and venerate various body parts from saints and holy men but, again, it was not typically done by children. Beyond that, the actual collection usually took place a good long time after the subject had expired and with a fair amount of ritual.

Comparing this to any Christian or other religious practice is grasping at the wilting straws of moral equivalency.

#1 U think this is a case where some Moslems took the Christian tradition of sanctifying the blood and body of Jesus, ascribe their suicide bombers-martyrs as holy and thus figure that the blood and body of their suicide bombers is thus holy.

This practise does not exist I think in lands like Saudi Arabi and the Gulf States because there are no Christians to learn the first part from. And it doesn't exist in Iraq because suicide bombers aren't considered holy men.
