Muslim leader threatens to kill Paul McCartney over Israel gig

This is not the first time someone famous who is scheduled to appear in Israel is threatened. And a lot did appear and nothing happen. This is simply because vast majority of Muslims around the world, and in Israel, are normal people - just as Christians, Hindus,Buddhists,Jews and a lot of others. Extremists from all of the above should be monitored and persecuted if they are about to commit a crime. Like inciting to murder....
On more funnier note - 40+- years ago when Beatles wanted to make a tour in Israel - local leaders refused. Not healthy for youth.
And they were not religious at all!

If the greater Muslim population wants to separate themselves from individuals like this, perhaps they should be the ones trying to hunt these people down. So far, all they seem to do is say; "Well that isn't us, that's him, you can't judge us based on him", while they stand around and people continue to die.

The title of your topic states that a muslim leader is threatening to kill Paul but the article you link to says he is warning him that suicide bombers may see him as a potential target.

World o' difference there.

heaps of musicians have done gigs in Israel...why should Paul be any differant. the sicko prob couldent get tickets!

totally ridiculous and not worth loosing sleep over

well... not sure what to say really...

what IS sad is that they would even think of celebrating the "formation of israel" after 60 years of an onslaught against the palestinians which has resulted in over 7000 000 refugees and i have no clue as to how many have been massacred due to the occupation...

think of it this way...

if i were to sell you my house, then 60 years later my grandchildren came back to the house, kicked the door in, said "this was my house and i want it back" then killed your family and kicked you out onto the streets... then they got more of the ex-residents of the houses on the estate to do the same thing to every house etc...
multiply this 1000's of times over as this did not just happen to a housing estate, but to a WHOLE COUNTRY!
the jews left there of their own accord, they had NO RIGHT to storm into that land, massacre and make homeless millions of families, bulldoze houses, bomb places etc...

60 years on and they want to celebrate it? it's like celebrating a massacre of people...
maybe threats weren't the right thing to do, BUT the point is how can they celebrate it? wouldn't people go mad if germany had a "60 year independance from the jews" festival when everyone knows this would be hailing the holocaust....?

Ummm, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Jews get booted out of Israel by the Palestinians etc and now, rightly so, they have their are back where they belong following WW2.

They probably mistook him for John Lennon and thought he said he "is more popular than" Mohammed.

Would this obvious madman be appeased if macCartney sang a Muslim song first? or perhaps quoted a verse of the Qu'ran?
Probably not, its just because Sir Paul is a figurehead in the western world and that he's rich from his Music.
Not trying to upset the majority of loving , respectful and peaceful Muslims in the world but why is it that these nutters , who state they will kill or attack someone they don't like for whatever reason always get the headlines? it only turns the rest of the world against Muslims in general. if we or the Government's just said "yeah whatever, get a life" , told MacCartney or whoever "this person said they will do this to you, if you go, but it's your choice" but didn't broadcast it all on the media then maybe, the radicals or extremists wouldn't get the publicity they crave for.
Maybe then the world can get on loving each other instead of finding new targets to hurt.
And if the person got hurt it was their choice and we didn't force them to either backdown or go and get hurt, IF they went it was a sign to the extremists that people can't be bullied and that people will stand up to them and their obvious outdated, primative way of thinking .
Sooner or later something like this will just escalate and I for one will not be surprised if the Governments do nothing to stop it .

This is strange... Roger Waters among all the other great artists who have had gig's in Israel was welcome, cause he stated he is against the wall. No offend to any but islamic threats has become very normal against anyone who accepts Israel and/or democracy. This should only be about the music and nothing else

I accept Israel...

Will Allah put a Fatwah on me for that...?

Israel is a legitimate country, it has boarders & a government.

OK, so is Palistine..., but the difference is, Gaza is a conqured nation (or part of), just like the Lakota are a Conquered nation, just like the Australian Aboriginals are a conqured nation.

If England became a Conqured nation tomorrow, they would belong to whatever Government took them over. It's the way of things.

It's ok to fight for your country to repel an invader. But hey, when the war is over & the enemy has won. It means one thing....

You Lost... so live with it!!!

The problem with Islamics, is they just dont get it & carry on & on & on about it & then they start killing innocent shoppers in malls with bombs, as if thats going to make a difference in their plight.

If they were really smart tough, "which they are not", they would go the way of Post WWII Japan... Hey they lost too & now look at em.

Islam is the religion of peace.

Anti-Abortionist Says He Expects 'a Great Reward in Heaven'

Wednesday, September 03, 2003

STARKE, Fla. — Paul Hill (search), a former minister who gunned down an abortion doctor, said he feels no remorse and suggested the state will be making him a martyr when he becomes the first person executed in the United States for anti-abortion violence.

Barring an unlikely last-minute stay, the 49-year-old former Presbyterian (search) minister will be put to death by lethal injection Wednesday evening for the 1994 murders in Pensacola of Dr. John Britton and his escort, retired Air Force Lt. Col. James Herman Barrett.

Barrett's wife, June, was wounded in the shootings outside the Ladies Center in Pensacola (search). Hill has not appealed.

"The sooner I am executed ... the sooner I am going to heaven," Hill said in a jailhouse interview. "I expect a great reward in heaven. I am looking forward to glory. I don't feel remorse."

"More people should act as I have acted," Hill added.

Under cover Muslim

While a joke.....the real amusing part is that every thing that happens post 9/11 is automatically blamed on Islam. I am more annoyed at Elder Jedidiah & Elder Paul that keep riding their 10 speed's across my lawn and knocking on my door trying to sell me salvation.

I am not muslim, I HATE THE BEATLES, and specially Paul, as a musician...

Kill him? no...Ignore him, it will hurt more...

Good one North Wolfe,i hate the Beatles too and as for Paul Mc Cartney,narcissim ,thy name is Paul.OP are you sure you read this right?Are you sure it did'nt say Heather Mills McCartney wants to kill him just and about anywhere will do?or maybe she put the Muslims up to it OR maybe they're co -conspirators?She'd be loaded if he popped his clogs.I wish they'd all just do one really,except Heather ,her chucking a glass of water over Mc Cartney's solicitor at they're divorce proceedings was classic.....remember,hell hath no fury as a millionaires wife scorned.

Religion of peace, folks.

There was a hubbub here in Canada when a Quebec Separatist group got angry over a Paul McCartney show.

What is it about Paul McCartney that makes crazy people hate him?

Isreal is not kicking the Palastians out its the Palastinians who do not want to mix with Jews under one roof. They would rather be seperated and suffer under their own laws than intergrate with a democracy which they call Satan. They have been brainwashed to despise anything that is not related to Islam.

When the Jews came back they did not throw anyone out, they were attacked and defended them selves after being surrounded by the Arab nations and won in the 6 day war. Isreal was just Marsh land and not really a fit place to live untill they made something from noting out of it.

If I am wrong correct this.

Well that's the same as asking why don't YOU go hunt them down and kill them?
Or why don't YOU go kill those certain soldiers you don't like, why don't YOU go kill those Pedophile priests, why don't YOU go kill those corrupt leaders, the list goes on and on forever.

"So far all the general population seems to do is stand around and people continue to die all over the world" Your logic. But it's common sense! Most people simply don't want to get involved, they have family to protect, lives to protect, things to do etc.

Also sometimes it's best to "ignore" things, eventually it dies down, if you go chasing and killing these people, which is what they want! it's only going to add fuel to the fire, it would be like kicking a bees nest.

Carry on living our lives, and we win. Get upset and angry, full of hatred, and the terrorists win.

Most muslims are family people with busy Jobs and lives to sort out, they don't have time to hunt down mad men lol. Simple as that.

This is Israeli propoganda, after all. This news agency will do what they can to win the disinformation wars.
