Muslim leader threatens to kill Paul McCartney over Israel gig

The religion of peace is now targeting former Beatles frontman Paul McCartney. Aren’t muslims just a peaceful bunch!? You know what I would like to see again? The Yellow Submarine. But this time with a huge bomb. Preferably dropped on Gaza.  It could easily be turned into the Sea of Holes.

An Islamic militant leader warned that former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney could be the target of suicide bombers unless he cancels his first concert in Israel, reported the British Sunday Express.

The celebrated rock star plans to arrive in Israel as part of a world tour, and give a single concert at Tel Aviv’s Park Hayarkon on September 25.

Omar Bakri, an Islamic preacher, said McCartney’s decision to perform as part of Israel’s 60th anniversary celebrations made him the enemy of Muslims worldwide.

“If he values his life, Mr. McCartney must not come to Israel,” Bakri was quoted as saying. “He will not be safe there. The sacrifice operatives will be waiting for him.”

Bakri added, “Instead of supporting the people of Palestine in their suffering, McCartney is celebrating the atrocities of the occupiers,” Bakri was quoted as saying. “The one who is under occupation is supposed to be getting the help.”

McCartney was also been pressured by pro-Palestinian groups to cancel the show, but has resisted.

“I was approached by different groups and political bodies who asked me not to come here. I refused. I do what I think, and I have many friends who support Israel,” McCartney said in an interview with Yedioth Ahronoth.
Pro-Palestinian groups have frequently called on international academics and prominent cultural figures to boycott Israel over its occupation of the West Bank and blockade of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.

You know, it’s funny, there are still a large number of people stupid enough to believe that islam is a religion of peace, and not the obvious death cult it continually reveals itself to be.

Original story can be read in Haaretz.
