Ilan Halimi's photo used on Muslim dating site

Shavua tov, a good week to everyone.

Pamela Geller reports that a picture of Ilan Halimi, a French Jew who was brutally tortured and murdered outside of Paris in 2006, was being used recently on a Muslim dating site in France.

From French: The Qiran.com site used a picture of Ilan Halimi - a French Jew tortured and killed by Muslims in 2006 - in its Google AdSense advertising. A British surfer discovered the picture on news sites, most notably France Soir. Qiran.com acknowledges the error and said the ad was immediately removed. The site sends it most sincere apologies to Ilan Halimi's family. According to Qiran.com, the photo was used by one of the members, and the company uses member photos in it advertisements. (hat tip KGS)

It was taken down. But what were they thinking? Why was Ilan's image used in the first place? The details of his torture and murder are beyond comprehension. Islamic jew hating barbarism. Kidnapped, tortured, murdered because he was a Jew. Is his image the icon for their Islamic anti-semitism - one of Islam's contributions to humanity?

Read the whole thing.

And if you live in France, please think about leaving.
