Hoist by their own fatwa?

Filed under: palestinian politics — Meryl Yourish @ 10:12 am

Voting is un-Islamic.

The Islamic Liberation Party (ILP), most of whose members are also Hamas members, publicized a fatwa saying it was illegal to vote in the upcoming PA elections according to the Islamic religion, and that Muslims must not take part in the vote.

Hamas is worried about the fatwa’s impact, believing it may harm its chances of winning the Palestinian parliamentary elections next week.

The ILP has attacked Hamas for its participation, claiming that the elections are taking place in the context of the Oslo agreements, ‘which give up sections of Palestine.’

There are celebrations at Fatah headquarters tonight. With any luck, the celebrations will kill a few candidates.

  1. It’s amazing what they allow and don’t allow in the Muslim religion.

    Allah sits up on a cloud shouting RED LIGHT and GREEN LIGHT all day, apparently.

  2. If a few candidates are killed by the falling bullets, then may all their virgins look like Yasser Arafat.
