[96] Und bestimmt wirst du sie unter allen Menschen am gierigsten nach Leben finden, und mehr noch als diejenigen, die Gِtzen anbeten. Manch einer von ihnen mِchte, daك ihm ein Leben von tausend Jahren gewنhrt wird; doch er hنlt sich dadurch von der Strafe nicht fern, (auch) wenn ihm ein hohes Alter gewنhrt würde. Und Allah sieht wohl, was sie tun.
[97]
“Sprich: “”Wer auch immer Gabriel zum Feind nimmt, so hat er ihn (den Qur’an) doch mit Ermنchtigung Allahs in dein Herz herabgesandt als Bestنtigung dessen, was vor ihm war, und als Rechtleitung und frohe Botschaft für die Glنubigen.””
[96]
Thou wilt indeed find them, of all people, most greedy of life, even more than the idolaters: each one of them wishes he could be given a life of a thousand years: but the grant of such life will not save him from (due) punishment. For Allah sees well all that they do.
[97]
Say: Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel for he brings down the (revelation) to thy heart by Allah’s will, a confirmation of what went before, and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe.
[98]
Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and prophets, to Gabriel and Michael, lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith.
BERLIN (EJP)—- A tragedy was avoided on Sunday after a smoke bomb, thrown through a window of a Jewish kindergarten in Berlin, failed to ignite.However, the school, located in a northwest neighbourhood of the German capital, was not spared by the spray painting of swastikas, other Nazi symbols and anti-Semitic phrases, such as “Auschwitz,” “Juden Raus” (Jews, get out) and “Sieg Heil”, on its outer walls, as well as on toys that had been lying around in the school’s playground.
A police spokesman said the attack did not cause serious damage or endanger children or staff at the school.
Berlin’s Interior Minister Ehrhart Körting condemned the attack as a “cowardly act” and called it “a particularly brutal one…one that had taken anti-Semitic acts to a new dimension”.
Although individual Jewish children have occasionally been victims of anti-Semitism, it is the first time that an entire school had been targeted in Germany. So far, no suspects have been found. Police are still investigating when exactly the attack took place and appealed for witnesses. However, it seems as if it was planned to coincide with the inauguration of a new Torah scroll which took place on Sunday, several kilometres away, at the Chabad Lubavitch synagogue of the Jewish Family and Education Centre which runs the school. “It was a miracle that the smoke bomb did not get off,” Rabbi Yehuda Teichtal of Chabad Lubavitch in Berlin, said. The school is located in a villa, in a quiet park of the city’s Charlottenburg district. Because the location had only been considered as temporary, the property was not secured in the same way that other Jewish buildings. Instead of round-the-clock police protection, security guards came only in hourly intervals.
March 2 1922 Birth of Hilarion Capucci , the retired titular archbishop of Caesarea for the Melkite Greek Catholic Church.
He was ordained a priest of the Basilian Aleppian Order on 20 July, 1947. On 30 July 1965 he was appointed archbishop and consecrated.
During his time in office was a fierce opponent of Israel, aligning himself with the Palestinians and in 1974 was convicted by an Israeli court of using his diplomatic status to smuggle arms to the Palestine Liberation Army. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison, but released after three years after intervention by the Vatican.
The government of Sudan has honored Capucci with a postage stamp.
In 2009, Capucci was on a Lebanese ship carrying to Gaza which was seized by Israeli forces when the ship attempted to violate the Israeli naval blockade.
Hilarion Capucci on a stamp issued by Syria in 1977 Archbishop Capucci is pictured in front of prison bars beside a map of an undivided Palestine colored red.
March 2, 1981: A Pakistani Airliner from Karachi to Peshawar was hijacked to Kabul, Afghanistan and then to Damascus, Syria. Tired and hungry, the Muslim militants surrendered after 13 days.
Three armed jihadists seized the Pakistani International Boeing 727 while it was near the border of Afghanistan. The terrorists were members of Al Zulfikar, a group of pro-Bhutto supporters. General Zia ul-Haq, who replaced Pakistani Prime Minister Bhutto in a coup, executed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in 1979. The hijackers held 141 people as hostage, including five Americans and 11 crew members.

March 2, 2001: Two Israelis from East Jerusalem were wounded by gunfire along the Giv’at Ze’ev-Modi’in road, near Bet Horon. Shots were fired at a Border Police patrol near the Qalandiyah refugee camp south of Ramallah. So frustrated and battered settlers from Shilo shot and killed a Palestinian returning from Ramallah who they thought had been responsible for the attacks. And it is hard to blame them since the Palestinian Authority rewards those who terrorize Jews.
