Muslims threaten to kill McCartney in Israel

Headline News

Sunday, September 14, 2008 Israel Today Staff

A Muslim terrorist leader based in Lebanon has threatened to send suicide bombers to kill former Beatle and international music icon Paul McCartney when he performs in Israel later this month.

McCartney will perform in Tel Aviv as part of ongoing celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of Israel's modern rebirth.

In remarks carried by British tabloid Sunday Express, Sheikh Omar Bakri said that makes McCartney the enemy of all Muslims.

Bakri, a Syrian national who once resided in London, warned McCartney that if he will be targeted if he comes to Israel.

"Paul McCartney is the enemy of every Muslim. We have what we call 'sacrifice' operatives who will not stand by while he joins in a celebration of [Israeli] oppression. If he values his life Mr. McCartney must not come to Israel. He will not be safe there. The sacrifice operatives will be waiting for him."

McCartney was reportedly shocked by the threat, but defiantly refused to cancel his Tel Aviv appearance. McCartney said that several anti-Israel political groups had also asked him to not visit the Jewish state.

Carol

Hello Carol: Several web sites have information about the profane Beatles. They promoted paganism, the drug culture, and total sexual promiscuity. (www.wayoflife.org)

They were part of the " new morality," do your own thing crowd. The liberal media loved them, as did so many deceived people. I was once one of them years back.

Their music was satanically energized, and appealed to the unregenerated masses.

Today the new evangelicals, charismatic, ecstatic tongues crowd, is promoting them and their music. The Whore Church, let by Roman Catholicism, and apostate " christians," is getting more paganized by the day.

God Bless, and strengthen in Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and in His Word always, David

David, you are right, the Beatles

have done more to bring down the morality of American youth than anyone else I know of. They caused a lot of rebellion in my age group with everything from their hair & dress to their drugs use, false or no religion. As a teen, I really liked some of their music, but others were just plain weird. Today I recognize it as being drug induced rantings.
God bless

McCartney

Now I am certainly not on the muslums side in killing anyone, but neither will put out any accolades for a drug cultured, sexually promiscuous Paul McCartney who has led millions of teenagers, and even adults into moral danger, and a liberally perverted lifestyle

There is a pay day for the likes of McCartney for the blood on his hands, his partner Lennon found that out.

A typical Junior High response from the gutter religion of Islam. My Israeli Flag flies proudly at my house.

Prayer for protection

Does anyone know when this trip is scheduled for? I will pray for Paul''s safety and also pray that he becomes a professed believer in Yeshua Who will have protected him. Paul was always my favorite Beatle!

Courage

Paul McCartney has courage, like his ancestors before him. English, Irish, Scot and Welsh have courage. England didn''t blink during the Battle of Britain. Scotland stopped the Romans with Hadrian''s Wall. The Welsh and Irish are known for courage under fire. Look at all the Irish, Scot, Welsh, English (AND Italian) names were among the firemen and policemen WHO RUSHED INTO the Twin Towers on 9/11 to rescue people. NO FEAR.

The muslims need to think about that.

"SACRIFICE" OPERATIVES?

Yes, satan demands sacrifices. Just ask any satan worshipper. Do these people just sit around and think about who they are going to MURDER next? Do such unstable people really need a state of their own? I support Mr. McCartney in desiring to join in on Israel''s 60th anniversary, and will pray for his safety.

Paul''s In Good Company...

since, according to the Islamists, anyone who ISN''T a Muslim is an infidel and, therefore, an enemy of Islam.

Yay Paul!

Paul stands tall. He sure took a beating from that gold-digger ex-wife, but the Lord will bless him for blessing Israel with his presence and performance.

LORD HAVE MERCY

Is anybody NOT an enemy of Islam? If Paul McCartney is onboard celebrating the nation of Israel, God bless him. I''m certain the Holy Spirit will look after him while he''s in country apparently concerned about security and his own welfare. Kudos, Mr. McCartney! How''s the old Hoffner?

Dear Sir Paul

Who''da thought it! Hat''s off to you for not buckling (yet) in the face of evil opposition. If you do this I for one will think a whole lot differently about you. May the Lord protect you in this.
