In the Islamic state founded by Hamas in Gaza, a huge brawl erupted at a mosque when Hamas tried to substitute one of their own preachers for the usual hate-spewer: Rival Palestinians clash at Gaza mosque.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Hamas and Fatah loyalists clashed Saturday at a mosque in the southern Gaza Strip, leaving nine people wounded in the latest flare-up of Palestinian infighting, witnesses and medical officials said.

The melee erupted after Hamas — the Islamic militant group that rules Gaza — brought one of its own religious leaders to preside over evening prayers at a Khan Younis mosque instead of the independent cleric who usually leads the service, witnesses said.

What began as fistfights among worshippers soon degenerated into face-offs with stones and knives. Hamas security officials who arrived at the scene fired rounds in the air, then came under fire themselves from a nearby area, witnesses said.

Medical personnel in Khan Younis said nine people suffered knife and gunshot wounds, including two who were critically hurt.

And in other mosque madness, Indian soldiers stormed a mosque to kill two Islamic terrorists in Kashmir: Police: 2 Islamic rebels killed in mosque siege in Indian Kashmir.

Soldiers stormed a mosque in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir, killing two suspected rebels who were hiding inside during a 20-hour siege, officials said Sunday.

The alleged militants were killed after they opened fire on troops who had chased them inside a mosque in Tujan village, 45 kilometers (28 miles) northwest of Srinagar, the biggest city in Jammu-Kashmir state, said senior police official Ashiq Bukhari.
