Muslim Torture? Gaza brings back Crucifiction - Liberal Anti-Torture activists completely silent

by Eric Dondero

According to Liberal activists, and even some Anti-War Libertarians, torture these days consists of scaring detainees by pouring water over their face, or playing loud Heavy Metal music, or college fraternity pranks such as, making a detainee stand on a crate with a hood over their heads.

So, what should we make of this?

On December 28, the Hamas controlled Legislature in Gaza legalized Crucifiction.

From Midnight Swimmer blog:

On Tuesday, Hamas legislators marked the Christmas season by passing a Shari'a criminal code for the Palestinian Authority. Among other things, it legalizes crucifixion.

Hamas's endorsement of nailing enemies of Islam to crosses came at the same time it renewed its jihad. Here, too, Hamas wanted to make sure that Christians didn't feel neglected as its fighters launched missiles at Jewish day care centers and schools. So on Wednesday, Hamas lobbed a mortar shell at the Erez crossing point into Israel just as a group of Gazan Christians were standing on line waiting to travel to Bethlehem for Christmas.
Has this made its way to the mainstream media? No. Only columnist Marc Steyn of National Review, and a tiny handful or blogs are reporting on the story.

One wonders how the Anti-Torture set, particularly the reliably leftwing Amnesty International will react?

Hmmmm... I'm coming to believe that the left is blindly against all things Christian. The evangelicals are backing Israel. So, the liberal left must "repaint" Islam as a "religion of peace" and they must recast Hamas and Gaza as "the victims" of Israel. Facts are irrelevant. The battle must be waged against all things Christian. Why?? Perhaps because they are gripped by evil.

Islamo-Fascism "evil"?

Oh, come on now Grace Explosion. Surely you jest.

I mean Saddam Hussein only murdered 1.5 million people during his reign. Uday used to dip people in burning hot oil baths, and throw them off the tops of buildings with their hands tied behind their backs.

What's a little crucifiction gonna hurt?

Grace,

You are evidently unfamiliar with Christianity outside of your little bubble. The Palestinian Christians support the Muslims who are currently the victims of Israel's genocidal campaign. Of course, since many so-called "evangelical Christians" have no clue about what goes on with Christianity in other countries, they remain blind to this fact.

Here's a little tidbit of information for you and a question to match it:

Arafat used to attend Christmas mass in Jerusalem every year until the Israelis stopped allowing him to do so. When was the last time you saw Israel's Prime Minister attending these church services? If Israel is just so friendly to Christianity, why are the Christians there being persecuted by them?

By the way, Jesus was a liberal. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, if need be.
