forand writes "Using screen shots of a customer's Facebook profile, owners of a West Bank internet cafe helped Palestinian intelligence forces capture a man accused of heresy." According to sources quoted in the story, residents of both Gaza and the West Bank face ongoing scrutiny of their online activities; in Gaza, "Internet cafe owners are forced to monitor customers' online activity and alert intelligence officials if they see anything critical of the militant group or that violates Hamas' stern interpretation of Islam."

    Some people aren't afraid to defend their culture and way of life.

      They should have thought about it before selling their lands to the jew settlers. Too bad their plan of selling their lands, then taking it back by force with the help of their arab brothers while keeping the money failed.

      "How do you "defend freedom" anyway?"

      By weakening religion, all of which oppose "freedom" and consist of frameworks for imposing restrictions.

      "Freedoms" CONFLICT with each other, so choice is required.

      Is that the kind of bullshit and propaganda they still teach in British schools? You really are just demonstrating your ignorance.

      In any case, what you wrote is totally irrelevant. It is simply a fact that Palestinians need to comply with the conditions that Israel and the West sets for them, while it is a fact that Americans were strong enough not to give a f*ck about what the British thought (or think, for that matter).

    ...is what they are! This shows how dangerously crazy these people are. They are the enemies of freedom like all religious fanatics! Anybody who thinks people should be locked up for life or even murdered because of antireligious religious statements are people that are enemies of western values. The problem is that we have no good way of dealing with these lunatics when large parts of entire societies are thinking like this. It's like the West in the Middle Ages.

    Worship your iphone like most americans. Western values my left butt cheek.

    Solution: Slaughter all brown people.

    If we don't, they'll be stringing us up in 50 years due to how they outnumbered us through their barbaric practices.

    Solution for pathetic 'christians' who don't like killing people: Deport all muslims to Iran.

    When the twin towers fell, muslims everywhere worshipped the heroes who hijacked the planes. Women everywhere wore the jihad with pride and put forth the effort to jide at any non-muslims.

    It didn't matter where they were; Australia, Canada, Europe, even in America.

    If they want to slaughter us for their religious views, then I say we slaughter THEM for their religious views. It's only fair, right?

  4. You have to have a state before it matters. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Since there is no such thing as a Palestine State, these useless, towel-headed muslim fucksticks can go fuck themselves. I hate all muslisms, as they are all pieces of shit and hate-mongers, with a goals of killing all non-muslisms. Fuck Muhammad and fuck the moon-god that these false religion practicing idiots believe in.
