COMPRENDO!!!
On a serious note lets say it is true, i would want a body part if it ment i could stay alive and would pay whatever to live. they are already dead. it is a fact in many hosipitals DR.s will be quicker to declare "brain dead" or some other term if they are a donator then the hospitals make hell of a lot more money the the rabbi did. they are dead so let them make one good thing in this world.
@danger mouse south park is a perfect ex. of "Free Speech" it insults millions maybe a billion but the writers do not need fed. protection from death. now do they?
a full research would have found many pallestinian families who donated organs of realtives to israelis, and vice versa.

We took brains out of hamas members to be implanted into Swedish politicians.

The Almighty is the Sovereign of the Universe.
The whole world belongs to the Almighty and HE
CAN -
yes HE CAN - give it or a part of it, to whomsoever HE please!
HE gave ISRAEL to His Chosen People. That's it.
That's the long and short of it . Now you and he and she and it can go cry as much as they like about what the Almighty did.
This should please you:

About land possession and rights to land, al- Islam fields two concepts : Dar al-Harb and Dar al-Islam.
Yes, since the age of thirteen I've been familiar with all of Arthur Koestler including his
" The 13th Tribe" which has often been brought to my attention of late, by certain anti -Semites, not least of all a certain anti -Semitic Professor by the name of Tony Martin who makes great bones about the central thesis that for him and you, logically arises therefrom:
That the Ashkenazi Jews descend from the Kathars , who were not at Mt. Sinai …. Now this is not all true - and even if it is/ were partially true, let me tell you this: that king David who wrote Psalm111 and who reigned from his throne in Jerusalem is also a descendant of a convert.
You should, " keep it in your mind and not fergit " : that I think, even you can convert to membership of the Jewish people.
Needless to say, anyone, anyone at all can convert from anything to be a Muslim.
Here's a story for you it's from pages 70- 71 of Bernard Lewis' "The Jews of Islam"
http://books.google.com/books?q=The+Jews+of+Islam&hl=En
N. B: Ka'b a Jewish convert was Caliph Umar's right hand man:
"…. in earlier times there was a strong resistance among many theologians and jurists who regard this notion as judaizing error - as one more among many attempts by Jewish converts to infiltrate Jewish ideas or practices into Islam.
A story is told by the great ninth-century historian Tabari, describing a visit by the caliph Umar to the newly conquered city of Jerusalem, illustrates this point:
" When 'Umar came … to Aelia… he said, " Bring me Ka'b"
Ka'b was brought to him, and Umar asked him, " Where do you think we should put the place of prayer ?"
" By the rock, " answered Ka'b
" By God, Ka'b," said Umar, " you are following after Judaism. I saw you take off your sandals."
" I wanted to feel the touch of it with my bare feet, " said Ka'b
" I saw you" said Umar, " But no… we were commanded concerning the Ka'ba in Mecca."
Ka'b al Ahbar was a well known Jewish convert to Islam and an important figure was at fault in maintaining it despite his conversion , and that only Mecca is the direction of
prayer and place of pilgrimage for all Muslims.
And here in the US the FBI uncovered a corruption ring in New Jersey that included hasidic rabbis and organ harvesting.
I believe the Swedish story.
