In the Western tradition, temples are to worship God, not to preach hatred against other people, it seems the Muslims do not practice. A few years in jail will drop well, to figure out that the Jews and Christians are not infidels.

Just for inciting others to murder you and me. When will the bleeding heart liberals let him out for 'good behavior'?

So desperate that he turns to violence or just another Islamofascist, the apology industry will dream up excuses for?

It was the Likud government under Arik Sharon that supported the muslim terrorists and allowed them to build the Shihab al-Din mosque in a disputed lot next to our Church of the Annunciation. The government never cared when christians were attached and their lives put at risk.Sadly enough, only now when Likud supported terrorists are threatening Jews, did the government acted.

Appeasement would be a better term. Appeasing fascists is a real mistake. Acting just like Europe is always wrong.

Radical islamists are as slippery as ever as the defense statement illustrates. ''His statements are subject to interpretation and the prosecution had chosen to interpret them in the most extreme way'' So presumably when he was calling for Jewish blood it was all just a coded message to allah's faithful to engage in peaceful interfaith dialogue! This thug should be sent to prison for a very long stretch, 30 years would do nicely, followed by deportation to jordan where he would no doubt be acclaimed a hero and carried shoulder high through the slums of amman.
