Hamas

I wonder- if the situation had been reversed and Mahmoud Abbas or Fatah had discovered a plot to assassinate the Israeli leader, would they have done so?

A HAMAS plot to assassinate Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, has been thwarted after he was tipped off by Israeli intelligence.

Hamas’s military wing, the Izza Din Al-Qassem, had planned to kill Abbas at his office in Gaza, intelligence sources said.

In other Hamas related news, noted moderate Al-Qardawi is to issue a fatwa which obliges Muslims everywhere to support Hamas and the Palestinians- morally and financially.

Ulemas (scholars) as well as other Muslim and Palestinian leaders will “draw up a fatwa on the duty of the ummah (Muslims) and of governments” toward the Palestinians and the Hamas cabinet, Qardawi told a press conference Saturday.

I gues that while all these top Islamic scholars are there they'll also issue a fatwa condemning appalling acts of terrorism carried out in Islam's name by a "tiny minority of extremists" who don't understand that it's a religion of peace?
