| Israel orders demolition of Nablus mosque |
| 2010-03-15 |
| [Iran Press TV Latest] Israeli authorities ordered the demolition of an under-construction mosque in the northern West Bank village of Burin on Sunday, head of the Palestinian Authority's settlement portfolio said. Ghassan Daghlas explained that the Israeli Civil Administration ordered a stop on construction work at the Salman Al-Farisi Mosque, demanding the demolition of the three-story mosque's already built structures. The order was issued under the pretext that the mosque's renovations were done without the proper licensing, Daghlas said. The PA official believes that given the current circumstances, Israel's decision was a "dangerous procedure." Tawfiq Jabarin, a Palestinian lawyer, who has taken over the case, said that the Israeli Construction and Structure department in Beit El had issued the demolition order. The order gave the Palestinians seven days to dismantle the mosque building, Jabarin said. The mosque -- surrounded by Palestinian homes built since 1967-- was being funded by local residents and is the second-largest mosque in the village. Burin's mayor, Ali Eid said Israeli authorities claimed the mosque was in area C, thereby falling under Israel's full purview. Jabarin said Israeli courts dismiss "verbal agreements," adding that a stop-order must be officially issued by the Civil Administration detailing the demolition's suspension. |

| #20 Mods, I have to disagree with you on sink-trapping Black Bart's comment - it didn't seem he was calling for genocide but stating the fact that it could (i.e. we have the means to make it) happen if actions transpired to generate the WILL to do it. More a warning than a threat. |

| #15 The order was issued under the pretext that the mosque's renovations were done without the proper licensing, Interesting that Iran PressTV felt the need to mention that the mosque builders were breaking the law, and that the PA believes that enforcing the law is a dangerous procedure. And that the village already has an approved mosque, a bigger one. |

| #14 Oooh, BUT Egyptians doing the same to Copts who build unauthorized churches is peaaaaachy keen! The hypocrisy embedded in Islam's treatment of non-muslims, along with their outrage when they receive measure for measure, is proof positive that Islam is NOT the logical descentant and ultimate development of either Judaism or Christianity, who imposed a much higher and more demanding standard for judging and treating others. Islam is an EXCUSE, not a RELIGION. |

| #9 We HAVE the capability to remove about 48 million Moslems from existence in about 24 hours if we want to do it and have the Will. Its in the Will. When the Threat matches the Will we...will. The whole Nation can go homicidal in a day IF we get another 911. Its always out there. Even small amounts of force can pull a trigger ...you just have to point and aim..and pull. the. trigger. Its the Will. We can Choose to kill all of them. We Do have the capability. They dont have the capability, they do have the Will. Essentially that is the difference between us...Will...not capability. Our potentiality is Lethal, their isnt...yet. |

| #7 Am I the only person here who found Israel's humiliation of the US and its elected representatives the funniest thing I've seen for ages. Not even the US's closest allies seem to give a shit what this bankrupt state that can't even defeat a bunch of towelheads thinks. No one cares what the US thinks anymore! Its bankrupt and impotent. |
