More than 20 die in Indonesian charity stampede


At least twenty-one people were trampled to death and scores more injured when a crowd stampeded in Indonesia after thousands of people queued for a charity handout to mark the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the state news agency Antara reported on Monday. The crush happened in the East Java town of Pasuruan when a philanthropist, identified by Antara as H. Syaichon, distributed tithes and food to a crowd of poor people. The impoverished were waiting for a food donation, known as zakat, worth about 30,000 rupiah ($3.18) each when the stampede occurred.Some people collapsed due to a lack of oxygen in the crush, while others were trampled, the report said, adding the injured were being treated in a nearby hospital.

What zionism peolpe think of this

I read this article and wanna to share it with my readers :

"Most Israeli Jews have a negative perception of the Middle East with many asking themselves, "What the hell are we doing here?" according to a survey released on Tuesday.
Asked to give the first words that came to mind when thinking about the Middle East, 61 percent of respondents were negative, 20 percent neutral and 19 percent positive, Tel Aviv University's Centre for Peace Research said.
The negative responses mainly related to war, terrorism and Islam, the centre's poll found.
"These came along with expressions of a general, colourful nature such as: 'a nutcase region', 'a shitty place', 'a morass,' 'I can't take any more of it,' 'God help us,' and 'What the hell are we doing here?'" the centre said.
Among the positive responses, an aspiration to peace was common.
The survey also found that 71 percent of Jewish Israelis do not believe that Israel will succeed in the coming decades to integrate politically with the rest of the Middle East.
The centre's survey shows that 63 percent clearly prefer integration with the West.
Among Israeli Arabs on the other hand, 34 percent responded with positive words and images when questioned about the Middle East, 32 percent had negative responses and 34 percent were neutral.
In the telephone interview of 599 people, carried out at the start of September, a majority of Israeli Arabs also favoured integration with the West rather than the Middle East.
The sampling error for the poll is 4.5 percent, the university said. "

Muslims , Sikhs & Hindus

The relationship between Islam and other religion in India had a lot of stressed period , but also there were multiple periods which considered golden age .
for example , Sikhs are the result of the reaction between Islam and Hindu and they admit it . until now there Islamic poems still in the golden temple in India for celebrations. and once there was a Muslim king who fight his brother just because he didn't treat Sikhs & Hindus very well .

Hindus always said that there were a lot of mosques which built above Hindus temples , but I want to ask u guys something: why Hindus didn't refuse them when they start building ? . Maybe because Muslims bought them from Hindus , maybe they were empty and Hindus left the villages and maybe they were a temporary solution for the increasing numbers of Muslims . I don't believe that Muslims built there mosques by force .

The history tell us that once upon time a Muslim conqueror attacked a town before he told them . He were must asked them to convert to Muslims ( if they want ) , to surround the city ( but he prince of the scity not changed) and give them Jizea or to fight them . so the people of the town complained for the Muslims Judge, and the judge commanded the conqueror to get out the city and so he did .
