Must Be Those Swedish Grandmothers Again
Paul McCartney is going to sing in Israel in the face of death threats from...guess who! And yes, just kidding about the old Swedish ladies. A few might want to jump the guy, sure, but probably not because they're looking to stab him several times, then slit his throat, nearly decapitating him, like some Islamist nut did to poor Theo Van Gogh. Sean Michaels writes for The Guardian:
Despite several threats by extremists, Paul McCartney has refused to cancel an upcoming concert in Israel. He will go ahead with a gig in honour of the country's 60th anniversary."I do what I think and I have many friends who support Israel," McCartney told Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth this weekend.
His comments come in response to a Sunday Express interview with the militant Islamic activist Omar Bakri Muhammad. "If he values his life Mr McCartney must not come to Israel," said Bakri, who has been barred from returning to the UK. "He will not be safe there. The sacrifice operatives will be waiting for him."
Barbarians. He "will not be safe"? I mean, the guy's a Beatle for god's sake. On the other hand, he has more experience than the average person with the barbarian set, having been married to one.
Thanks, Robert W!

I beg to disagree with Mr. Baki.
If he values his life, going ahead with his plans to perform is exactly what he will do. In fact it's -- so to speak -- what all of us must do. Giving into the threats and cowering in our homes afraid of bullies is not a life -- certainly not one that's ours.
What happened to Theo Van Gogh was tragic and saddens me. (And fuck the Beatles -- he was a fucking Van Gogh!) But one thing about it is really inspiring. He lived his life to the end -- the life he wanted to live, not the one the bastards ordered him to.

Good for him, I heart Sir Paul! He has always been, and always will be, a stand-up kinda guy. He serves as an example of exactly what to do when threatened by these pieces of shit - live your life anyway, because you don't let threats from the likes of Bakri and his ilk stop you from living your life. In this case, YMMV does not apply. o_O

Give Jordan opened the door by charging forgein nationals for crimes not commited on their soil, can not the UK not indict this asswipe on charges of conspiracy to commit murder, hold the trail without him and have him imprisioned the moment he enters a country that has an extradition treaty with the UK?
Of couse given the way thing are going it just might be a UK muslim that kills him - And quite frankly that would probably be for the best, sounds callous I know, but it would wake those morons up real fast

"Sacrifice operatives?" Surely Omar Bakri Muhammad could have used a much better term than this awkward, ugly construction.
Murderers, fanatical murderers, lunatic murderers, terrorists, mislead zealots, and lethal dupes are all terms that come to mind.

worthless islamic scum....I've never been a big fan of the Beatles or Paul McCartney, but if he wants some help protecting him from yahoos stuck in the 7th century, I'm willing to help

Thanks for the link, Robert.
Mickey Mouse must die! Can these guys get any loonier? Yeah, Mickey so makes us all want to have mice so numerous that they're falling into our cooking pots.
And, ewww, for solid food, you only toss the mouse and the food it actually touched? Ewww. Gross, gross, gross. Just let me line up to have the other half of that potato the mouse missed when he fell into the pot.
