Talk:Yasuf

Unless I'm mistaken
The following passage al relates to the firing of Beit Fajar mosque near Bethlehem on Oct 3, 2010 and not to the mosque at Yasuf. On 3 October 2010 the mosque in Yasuf village was once again arsoned by suspected Jewish extremist settlers. Israel defense minister, Ehud Barak, reacted saying that arsonist are terrorists and must be stopped. Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi Yona Metzger reacted by equating the arson to Kristallnacht and said "This is how the Holocaust began, the tragedy of the Jewish people of Europe." Rabbi Menachem Froman, a well-known peace activist, visited the mosque and replaced the burnt Koran with new copies. The rabbi said that "This visit is to say that although there are people who oppose peace, he who opposes peace is opposed to God" and "Jewish law also prohibits damaging a holy place." He also remarked that arson in a mosque is an attempt to sow hatred between Jews and Arabs.
