Israel orders demolition of Nablus mosque

Israeli authorities ordered the demolition of an under-construction mosque in the northern West Bank village of Burin on Sunday, head of the Palestinian Authority's settlement portfolio said.

Ghassan Daghlas explained that the Israeli Civil Administration ordered a stop on construction work at the Salman Al-Farisi Mosque, demanding the demolition of the three-story mosque's already built structures.

The order was issued under the pretext that the mosque's renovations were done without the proper licensing, Daghlas said.

The order gave the Palestinians seven days to dismantle the mosque building, Jabarin said.

The mosque — surrounded by Palestinian homes built since 1967— was being funded by local residents and is the second-largest mosque in the village.

4. Why don't they just allow them to pay the fine get the permits?

As long they're not dealing with zoning issues and code violations what's the big deal? Pay the fine and move on.
Oh yeah-I forgot.

7. Right Wing=Nationalist Theocracy.

I'm sure the Israeli ppl will be much happier when their own religious fanatics are running things.

8. Just goes to show how small is the area controlled by the PA. A "nablus" mosque that requires

an Israeli permit? Sweet!

11. 1600 in new housing in the WB and 100,000's more get permitted,

and moved into jews-only-need-apply settlements, but no, no rehab or redesign of an existing structure if it is revered by Muslims or to built by Palestinians on the little land they now have a very little control over.

The whole picture in one short story.
