Saudi cleric offers 100 large for another Israeli soldier

Our friends in the land of the two holy places (which are off-limits to non-believers) belie their friendship to us, on a regular basis, by tacitly approving statements like these, especially when they come from a recognized and followed Islamic cleric. Dr. Awad al-Qarni makes no bones about his feelings towards Israel and urges his synchophants to kidnap, and keep kidnapping Israeli soldiers in order to use them as a bargaining chip to get jihadist out of Israeli prisons. It has worked in the past and it will work in the future as Israel sees fit, time and again to bend over backwards to appease the alligator.

Saudi cleric: Kidnap soldier - get $100,000

A week after the release of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, top Saudi cleric Dr. Awad al-Qarni is offering a $100,000 reward to anyone who kidnaps Israeli soldiers.

"The press reported that the Zionist settlers will pay huge amounts of money to whoever kills the freed Palestinian prisoners," al-Qarni said. "In response to these criminals I declare to the world that any Palestinian who will jail an Israeli soldier and exchange him for prisoners will be rewarded with a $100,000 prize," he wrote on his Facebook page.

He is responding to an ad published by the Libman family offering a similar reward for anyone who catches the person who murdered their relative Shlomo Libman. Libman was killed by terrorists near the settlement of Yitzhar in 1998.

Al-Qarni's post has already received more than 1,000 likes and extensive coverage in Hamas-affiliated newspapers in Gaza.

Al-Qarni is a famous Muslim cleric who often guests on TV shows and operates his own website where he discusses various religious law issues. The Palestine-Islam issue is particularly close to his heart.

Wait, Palestine has nothing to do with Islam, it is a nationalistic movement, isn't it? I thought the Palestinians were secular and democratic, wasn't Hamas "democratically elected" or am I wrong?
