What Do You Think?

[Arianna_Ludlam]

I was once told what a fine moral character Muslims have and what good morals it instills in their children. It seems to me that if they all have such a fine moral standard it would be rather obvious to even the smallest child that throwing rocks at people is wrong and dangerous. Seems that some parents should have been raising their children better.

Or

is it since the imam of the area apparently has to be the one to tell them to stop that throwing rocks at non-Muslims is an accepted practice and encouraged in Islam teachings?

Neturei Karta Ask Arabs to Please Stop Throwing Rocks

by Gil Ronen

A representative of the Neturei Karta hareidi group met with the Mufti of Jerusalem in recent days to discuss Arab violence on the Mount of Olives. The representative asked Sheikh Akram Sabri to instruct the Arab youth in Jerusalem not to throw rocks at members of Neturei Karta who come to pray at the Mount of Olives cemetery.

The Neturei Karta representative, whose name was not given in the report, also brought up the subject of the destruction of tombstones by Arab youths on the Mount of Olives, and asked that the practice cease. Members of Neturei Karta "do not come to the cemetery in order to provoke," he said, just to carry out peaceful prayer.

The Neturei Karta, who oppose the State of Israel, reported on the meeting and emphasized that "the Zionists and crazy settlers" are to blame for the violence, through their acts of provocation.

The report added the honorific "his excellency" to the mufti's name and noted that he received the Jewish representative "with kindness and great warmth," and that he "listened" to all of the stories about what the Arab youths do on the Mount of Olives.

The mufti reportedly said that he would raise the matter with the imam of the neighborhood that adjoins the cemetery, and ask him to tell members of his community to cease this activity.
