The man charged with stabbing three participants at Jerusalem’s June 30 gay pride parade faces attempted murder charges.
Yishai Shlisel, an orthodox Jew
said his deep religious conviction led to his actions. "I came to
murder on behalf of God. We can’t have such abomination in the
country," Shlisel said during a police interrogation, according to
authorities.
The combination of police eye-witnesses, video evidence and his
confession led to Shlisel being charged with three counts of attempted
murder Tuesday in a Jerusalem district court. Prosecutors allege
Shlisel purchased an 18-centimeter (seven inches) knife in preparation
of going to the parade with the intent to kill homosexuals.
Medical authorities say the victims, two aged 18 and one aged 50, suffered light to moderate stab wounds.
Even before this knife attack, the 2005 Jerusalem gay pride parade
already had an extensive legal record. Jerusalem Mayor Uri
Lupolianski's previous decision to cancel the parade as inappropriate
for his city was overturned in court. About 5,000 gay pride marchers
and 1,000 protestors turned up for the Thursday night event.
Police temporarily halted the parade after a group of 100 orthodox
Jews attempted to force their way through police barricades, chanting
"Gay is shame!" One man, allegedly Shlisel, did break through and
stabbed three marchers. Other religious protestors against the march,
including Jews, Christians and Muslims were peaceful, according to
authorities.

People blaming God for their actions is the reason we have so much conflict in the world today. Two wrongs don't make a right. The three gay people weren't even doing anything wrong, just minding their own buisness.
sad. killing in the name of god. It never stops does it. I thought god didn't like his name taken in vain.
You know though whats odd....there is a lot of video footage and human rights reporting that there are an awful lot of these male orthoox jews visiting the red light district in which a lot of women get there through extortion, kidnapping, and are abused when there.
Better to kill the fags I guess.
