A celebration of evil in the Islamic world: Muslims celebrate return of bloody terrorists and vicious child killer

Samir Kuntar, a vicious terrorist who is famous for smashing the skull of a 4-year-old Israeli child, will return to his people as a hero. The disregard for human life that exists among Islamists in the Arab world, this pure evil, is the enemy we're up against.

Israel is mourning the loss of two beloved heroes. The Islamic world is celebrating a child killer's return, a terrorist who has vowed to return to killing more Jews.

Hezbollah, Iran's proxy, also allegedly released information about Ron Arad, an Israeli Air Force navigator who was captured by Muslim terrorists in 1986. However, Hezbollah has released incomplete and fraudulent information that was deemed unacceptable by government and intelligence officials, as well as the German mediator Gerhard Conrad. The fate of Arad is still unknown.

The transfer of Kuntar and four Hezbollah POWs to Lebanon is complete. Here's the latest from the J-Post:

Convicted murderer Samir Kuntar and four Hizbullah POWs arrived in Lebanon late Wednesday afternoon, hours after the bodies of kidnapped IDF reservists Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser returned to Israel.

The five Lebanese terrorists were transferred to Lebanon after the IDF positively identified the bodies of Regev and Goldwasser.

OC Human Resources Maj.-Gen. Elazar Stern and OC Central Command Maj.-Gen. Gadi Shamni arrived at the Regev and Goldwasser homes to notify the families.
The bodies were making their way to Shraga base, south of Nahariya, where the families were expected to arrive to be alone with the remains of their loved ones. Defense Minister Ehud Barak will be arriving at the base to meet with the families, and later in the day, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will hold a closed meeting with them, as well.

Late Wednesday it was announced that both reservists will have military funerals on Thursday: Goldwasser at 10:00 a.m. in Nahariya, Regev at 2:00 p.m. in Haifa.

Military sources said the identification process took several hours, due to the deteriorated state of the soldiers' bodies. Earlier Wednesday the Red Cross transferred two coffins to Israel, containing the remains of Regev and Goldwasser.

The two soldiers were posthumously promoted to the rank of first staff sergeant, the army announced.

Before the identification process could begin, sappers inspected the coffins to ensure that they were not booby trapped.

Meanwhile, a truck carrying 19 bodies of Lebanese terrorists passed the Rosh Hanikra border crossing into Lebanon, the first of many such trucks expected on Wednesday.

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, the long-anticipated exchange got underway as Kuntar and four Hizbullah operatives captured during the Second Lebanon War were driven from Hadarim prison near Netanya to an IDF base in the North.

23 Red Cross trucks containing the bodies of 185 Lebanese and Palestinian combatants drove from a cemetery near Kibbutz Amiad to Rosh Hanikra, where they prepared to drive to Lebanon in the final stage of the deal.
