Palestinians Declare Joseph's Tomb a "Holy Muslim Site"
Palestinians ransacked and torched Judaism's third holiest site, Joseph's Tomb, back in 2000 when the region was turned over to them. (Shilo.org)
Earlier this week Palestinians once again torched Joseph's Tomb.
Now the moderate Palestinian Government is claiming the shrine is a Muslim Holy Site.
World Net Daily reported:
In the wake of an attempt by Palestinians to burn down Joseph's Tomb – Judaism's third holiest site – Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction issued a statement denying it will help restore the shrine, referring to both the shrine and the biblical patriarch as "Muslim."Carl in Jerusalem has more on this outrageous move by the Palestinians.
"Pay no attention to the rumors that we will work with Israel to restore the burial site of the holy Muslim Joseph," said the statement, issued from Nablus, the biblical city of Shechem. "We are going to guard this holy Muslim site."
Joseph's Tomb is the believed burial place of the son of Jacob who was sold by his brothers into slavery and later became viceroy of Egypt.
Joseph's Tomb has been inaccessible to Jews and Christians since it was turned over to Palestinians in 2000.

I am surprised the Code Pinkos weren't there to help them. I guess they couldn't find any day glo Pink Burkhas.
The Palestinians have done the same thing to Rachel's Tomb as well, down to calling her a Muslim.
Same thing, different Jewish holy site.
Yup, Religion of Peace....
...a piece here, a piece there...
...until we're all under the sandal-heel of Islam's "peace".
May it never be!

first they try to destroy it, then they try to claim it, you figure it out..

These are a bunch of savages -- they go into hyper-hysteria when one of their shrines is even looked at the wrong way...you can't have peace with these people. Israel needs to invade, kill the militants, then care for the Palestinians who want peace. Enough is enough.
Just how "holy" was this site to Muslims before the founding of Israel? Did they ever show any in it at all?
