After Israeli bulldozers destroyed the foundations for a proposed mosque on a Christian holy site in Nazareth, (Muslim) Deputy Mayor Salman Abu Ahmad and local head of the Islamic Movement said, “I haven’t heard of any synagogues being destroyed, but they destroyed a mosque.”
The arrogance, insensitivity and stupidity of this statement is breath-taking.
Would the deputy mayor like to know why no one is demolishing synagogues (except the Arabs, who demolished 19 on the day they sacked the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem in 1948), churches or Hindu temples?
Here’s a hint: which of the following religions has a penchant for destroying other people’s religious shrines and building their own on the ruins?
a. Judaism
b. Christianity
c. Hinduism
d. Islam
