When Semites move the “anti” goal post

Nothing reeks of desperation better than issuing a fatwa against your political terror rivals. A little bird tells me it’s going to be a tough sell remaking Hamas as a Jewish organization but apparently Fatah is going to give it a go. Arutz Sheva reports:

IsraelNN.com) A Muslim cleric, apparently from the Palestinian Authority, has released a fatwa (religious ruling) permitting the killing of members of the Hamas terrorist organization. In support of his position, the heretofore unknown sheikh declared Hamas to have "Jewish;" yet, he said that "the Jews have more mercy" on the Arabs than Hamas.

The fatwa and accompanying argumentation appeared in two articles, one in the Saudi newspaper Al-Watan and the other published on the website of the Fatah terrorist organization, headed by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

(…)
Among other affronts, the Fatah-backed sheikh declared, Hamas is willing to ally itself with non-Muslims and to battle co-religionists. Al-Hiran then said that Hamas-backed scholars should be confronted about the activities of their organization. "If they say that what they [i.e., Hamas members] do is prohibited, then you should kill them cold-bloodedly, [and you will] be rewarded by Allah for ridding Muslims of their influence and evil. Jews have more mercy towards our nation than [Hamas]. If they [i.e., the scholars]."say that their conduct is permitted, then kill their scholars.... They are all the same." The article is titled "The Common Characteristics of Hamas and the Jews.

What's next? Hamas blows shofars? And remember the Sheikh is sponsored by Fatah, you know - the moderate Palestinian terror organization.
