Large Bomb Discovered in Omar Mosque

(IsraelNN.com) Soldiers operating in the Bethlehem area report having discovered a very large explosive device in the Omar Mosque. The explosive device was neutralized without incident.

Now how did that get there? The Pals invade churches with gunmen, and store bombs, rocket launchers, and guns in mosques. They've turned every mosque into a potential terror base. Disgusting.

[Real Cynic No More]

And when it blew up, the IDF would have been blamed.

"Peaceful" Islam again ...

Just wait...the day isn't over yet..there's still time.

I thought Islam was a religion of peace.

Israeli soldiers save a mosque from destruction and the PA uses a church as a fortress. Hmmmm makes you wonder doesn't it?

[vin-one]

it would have been a religion of Piece, if that bomb had gone off.
Bits and Pieces that is, all over Palentstine.
and of course the IDF would have been to blame.

If the Church of the Nativity has an internal explosion, we'll know who did it.

They've turned every mosque into a potential terror base.

Any why wouldn't they? For gosh sakes, they sell snuff flicks inside the walls of Brit and American mosques.

And they've "taken refuge" (e.g., hostages) inside the Church Of The Nativity.

What more would you expect of "The Religion Of Peace (tm)"?

[mewzilla]

Would you please make that point to the Vatican?

Latest: "IDF troops find two large explosives belts ready for use in Ramallah apartment." The Pals have also turned every aparatment, ambulance (and soon school?) into a potential terror base.

I think the mosque of Omar is in Jerusalem, isn't it? How could soldiers in Bethlehem find a bomb in Jerusalem? This sounds fishy!

Also, isn't the Mosque of Omar another name for the Al Aqsa Mosque that sits atop Temple Mount? I don't think Israeli soldiers would go in there without cause a major international incident.

[Lucky]

Now the United States needs to search the mosques here!

Israel National News . . . Large Bomb Discovered in Omar Mosque

How handy! WE found a LARGE BOMB (we think it's a bomb and it IS large).

Now the PR predicate is laid for smokin' th' church . . .

[tomahawk]

Omar Mosque is behind Manger Square in Bethlehem. Apparently Omar is a popular name for mosques, as well as Taliban leaders.

[constitutiongirl]

You win the prize for Mideast knowledge. Al Aqsa is also known as the Mosque of Omar. However, there is another Omar Mosque in Bethlehem.

[crystalk]

No, Omar or Umar was the very famous First Caliph, and mosques dedicated to his memory exist all over the Mideast. The one in Bethlehem is the one referred to in the article at top.

The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, NOT Al-Aqsa a few hundred yards to the South, is sometimes erroneously CALLED the Mosque of Umar, and it is said that Umar had a small temporary place of worship (probably unroofed) built there, but the Dome of the Rock was not built until some 40-50 years after Umar had died.

See tomahawk's #16 above. Thanks for the info.

Abwehr, you raise a good point. What better place to hide things than in that mosque in Jerusalem where Israelis dare NEVER tread.
