Muslims Surround Synagogue in Norway
Norwegian Muslims plan ‘ring of peace’ to protect Oslo synagogue
,,, to HELP for once.
Islam is about protecting our brothers and sisters, regardless of which religion they belong to. Islam is about rising above hate and never sinking to the same level as the haters. Islam is about defending each other. Muslims want to show that we deeply deplore all types of hatred of Jews, and that we are there to support them.
We will therefore create a human ring around the synagogue on Saturday 21 February. Encourage everyone to come!Just as long as their Ring of Peace does not become a Crescent of Embrace.

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - One person was shot in the head and two police were wounded in an attack on a synagogue in central Copenhagen, Danish police said, adding that it was too early to say whether the incident was connected to an earlier one at an arts cafe.
Danish television station TV2 said a large metro and train station nearby, Norreport, was being evacuated.
The news followed a shooting attack earlier Saturday on a cafe which hosted a debate on freedom of speech and was attended by Swedish artist Lars Vilks, who has been threatened with death for his cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad. One man died in that attack, and police said a suspect was still at large.From Vlad:

The shooter is still at large, police says “Central Copenhagen cannot be considered safe”.

And, in contrast to the shooting at the Vilks event, this is the core of Copenhagen. The very center.

‘Leave Canada’ Spray-Painted on Synagogue
From INN:
Temple Beth Israel in West Edmonton vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti and the message ‘Leave Canada,’ shocking congregants.
Anti-Semitic graffiti along with the chilling order, “Leave Canada” were found spray-painted on a synagogue in West Edmonton, the capital of Alberta province in Canada.
The graffiti was located on the side wall of Temple Beth Israel in the Oleskiw neighborhood of West Edmonton, causing shock and anxiety to worshippers who noticed it as they walked into synagogue for early morning prayers on Saturday.
The incident, however, was not reported on until Wednesday. “A number of the congregants were quite distraught, having seen the graffiti on their way into the synagogue.
They alerted me to it and, of course, I was shocked and devastated as well,” Rabbi Daniel Friedman said.
“We know that this is not typical of our Canadian brothers and sisters, most of whom share our Canadian values of openness and tolerance.” Rabbi Friedman added that Temple Beth Israel and been fire-bombed and vandalized with hateful graffiti in the past.
This marks the second time in less than two weeks that a place of worship in Edmonton has been vandalized with hate messages.
Last week, a Sikh temples was defaced with “Leave Canada” and other profane, racist messages spray-painted on its outer walls.

Synagogue Desecrated in Venezuela
BBC: An armed gang has ransacked the oldest Jewish synagogue in the Venezuelan capital Caracas after occupying the building for several hours.
About 15 unidentified men broke into the building before daubing graffiti on the walls and desecrating scriptures.
They also called for Jewish people to be expelled from the country.
Jewish leaders say tensions have risen since Venezuela broke diplomatic relations with Israel this month over its recent military offensive in Gaza.
Elias Farache, president of Venezuela's Jewish Association, said the gang had tied and gagged security guards before destroying offices and the place where holy books were kept.
Anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli slogans were painted on the walls.
"Never in the history of Venezuela's Jewish community have we been the target of such an aggression," said Mr Farache.
"The climate is very tense. We feel threatened, intimidated, attacked." >>> | Sunday, February 1, 2009
