That was an excellent site, LadyEagle.
Have you read Dave Hunt's new book "Judgment Day"?
That book is packed full of information about Israel, Islam, and the last days.
Back on topic, every time I read something like the OP resulting from the Quartet's Road Map for Peace, it really makes me sad.
It was just the wrong thing to do on multiple levels.
"The leader of the Palestinian National Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, a Muslim, attended the midnight Mass at the basilica of the Nativity. And in his homily, the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, Michel Sabbah, an Arab, hailed him as a man of peace"
I am glad to see Mr. Abbas attend a Christian service.
I disagree that it is a testing ground. These are familiar old tactics seen repeated throughout history by islamofascists. </font>[/QUOTE]Hamas has made it clear that they want to impose Sharia law on "Palestine."
In Daniel Pipes's weblog #634, it states, "Levying the jizya tax in the Palestinian Authority:
Jizya is a tax specified in the Koran (9:29) to be paid by non-Muslim males living in dar al-Islam, that is, under Muslim political rule.
In theory, it is what non-Muslims pay extra for the privilege of being protected by the Muslim state, in whose military they may not serve.
In fact, beyond the often penurious sums involved, it has a humiliating quality to it, reminding the kafirs that they are second-class subjects for refusing the Islamic truth.
The tax was regularly colledged through Islamic history, fading out only in the nineteenth century.
But Islamists, in keeping with other retrograde ideas, like reviving slavery, would like to re-impose the jizya.
Hamas has long wanted non-Muslims in "Palestine" to pay it and as it approaches the corridors of power, this abstract wish takes on a new vitality and importance.
"We in Hamas intend to implement this tax someday," says a Bethlehem city council member, Hassan El-Masalmeh.
"We say it openly - we welcome everyone to Palestine but only if they agree to live under our rules." (December 23, 2005).
