Rioting between Muslims and Christians was sparked in the West Bank over a Peeping Tom - a Muslim man who took pictures of a woman in a dressing room. For some reason, tensions between the two religious groups caused Muslims to demand the release of the Peeping Tom.

The Houston Chronicle reports:

At the height of the hours-long riot, hundreds of Muslims and Christians fought each other with metal rods and stones overnight in the streets of the West Bank town of Beit Sahour, adjacent to Bethlehem, revered as the birthplace of Jesus. ... The incident began on Tuesday evening when a Muslim man snuck a camera into a changing room in a Beit Sahour clothes shop as a woman was dressing and snapped several pictures of her, residents said.

The man, from a nearby Muslim town, raced to a taxi with the shopowner in pursuit, residents said. But he was forced to flee to a mosque when dozens of Beit Sahour residents arrived and began smashing the taxi, which they later torched. ... The Muslims demanded police free the man, who was badly beaten during the melee, residents said. But the suspect was arrested and taken to a local jail. "Then the clashes really started," Nahle said.

One would think that the Muslims would demand justice from a man who had tried to spy on a naked or near-naked woman, but why not here? Perhaps the woman was a Christian and such standards don’t apply to Christians, just Muslims? They should be deeply ashamed of themselves for fighting to try to free him instead to try bring him to justice.
