In a statement, the Hamas administration said Fatah had used outdoor worship on the Muslim rest day to sow “chaos and sedition” in the Gaza Strip.

"Only we are allowed to do that", he added.

Will the ACLU's Filistine branch protest this egrgious violation of Fatah's freedom of religion and assembly?

Now the prayers for Israeli deaths will have to take place in private. Clear unintended consequences from the Hamas order.

Apparently, Fatah is trying to regroup:

Yet there are signs, including public shows of defiance in the past two weeks, that Fatah is regrouping to challenge the new status quo in Gaza. It is a challenge Hamas leaders say they will resist if it resorts to force. With anger running deep on both sides, the potential for renewed bloodletting is clear.

Who is Hamas to shutter prayers? That's un-Islamic. Or are they saying that Fatah isn't Islamist enough and are shutting them down?

Is Hamas worried that Fatah is using the Friday prayers to exhort the masses to violence? Will Fatah return the favor and shut down the Hamas prayers on Fridays or risk the wrath of Hamas thugs in the streets because they were denied the opportunity to hear their mullahs call on them to engage in violence?

A small explosion damaged a van parked outside a theater owned by a former star of TV's "The Sopranos," police said Tuesday.

The New York Police Department said it did not know whether the incident had any connection to the actor, Michael Imperioli, who owns Studio Dante. Imperioli played Christopher Moltisanti, Tony Soprano's nephew, on the popular HBO television show.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said later that it was caused by "some kind of small explosive device," but not a pipe bomb.

"There was an explosion in the street, it blew out windows of a van parked in front of the building, and thankfully no one was injured," Bloomberg said.

Capt. Morrissey had an interesting post about last Friday's prayers in Gaza, "The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves."

Most interesting was this little tidbit:

Hamas also has a sensitivity about free speech, as in they don't like it. While meting out the beatings, Hamas took the time to pay the Associated Press a visit in their offices. They told the AP not to film the outside of their security offices from the AP balcony or roof -- and they brought their guns to underscore their point.

Oddly, I haven't seen any other mention of this incident.

re: #99 Perplexed

The report doesn't explain exactly how it all works but the basic idea is that sunlight is first stored as energy in a kind of battery made of scintered metal plates. Then the plates are illuminated with a low-power laser beam which stimulates the charged plates to give up the stored energy as laser light. In other words, the extra light emitted from the plates is produced in the same wavelength, and in phase with, as the low-power beam. This technology will make it possible to collect solar-power in orbit and then to beam it earth using a laser.

I got the from the report, but a scintered metal plate being used to store energy, then when hit by a low powered laser then dumps that stored energy back into the laser beam?

Speaking of Hamas (whose gov't in Gaza has been such a resounding success), the Jerusalem Post reports that,

Over 80,000 illegal weapons are believed to be in the hands of West Bank terrorists, according to the IDF's latest assessments of the ongoing power struggle between Hamas and Fatah...

According to the latest assessment, and contrary to earlier predictions, defense officials told The Jerusalem Post this week that Hamas was just as strong as Fatah in the West Bank and could pose a genuine threat to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's security forces.

On Monday, the London-based Al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper reported that Fatah security forces had recently thwarted an attempted coup in the PA by Hamas.

Hamas had tried establishing a military force in the West Bank similar to its Executive Force [must be kind of like an anarchy steering committee. sb.] in the Gaza Strip, which then planned to attack PA institutions and take over the government, according to the report. "They have weapons and explosives and, more importantly, they are highly motivated," a senior defense official said.

According to the official, Hamas is currently in a "waiting period" and is trying to unite some of its splinter groups spread throughout the various West Bank cities, with terrorist hubs in the northern Samaria cities of Nablus and Jenin.

Abandon Stereotypes, Muslims in America Say

ROSEMONT, Ill., Sept 3 — It is time for the United States to stop treating every American Muslim as somehow suspect, leaders of the faith said at their largest annual convention, which ended here on Monday.

Six years after the Sept. 11 attacks, Americans should distinguish between mainstream Muslims and the radical fringe, the leaders said.

“Muslim Americans feel an increasing level of tension and scrutiny in contemporary society,” said Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America, the largest Muslim organization in the United States and the convention organizer.

Implications? Let's see...a lot of people will be sitting in the dark plotting your destruction...guess that could be categorized as "zero impact" since they're already doing that. And, the Western media will throw a fit, condemning Israel as a savage nation intent on genocide against the poor Palestinians. Nearly zero impact.

The defense minister ordered an examination of "the operational and legal aspects of steps designed to limit Hamas' rule in the Gaza Strip."

The call to cut off water, electricity, gas and fuel to the Strip is seen as an alternative - or, if unsuccessful, a prelude - to a broad IDF incursion into northern Gaza and perhaps the Philadelphi Route in the south.

I hate Hamas, and all these nutz Islamist groups.

But a group in Detroit harassing kids on Wayne State University's campus on the first day of classes today proclaims their love of Hezbollah on their new blog. See more.

The Black Socialist group also made an appearance on campus today.

First day of school really brings the crazies out.

Love their Stuff- Israel is a european colonialist state- yeah, but the Arab countries are the Dark ages and Gaza is like the Stone age. These morons are like the New Black Panthers(not to be confused with the original group - who ahve disavowed this new crew.)- who told us in DC- a group of white people -that we had no right to protest the murders in Darfur- that it was a matter for the Sudanese. I see, so Arab muslims murdering African muslims is okay- and white people better not say anything about it.

The difference between legal and illegal weapons in the hands of West Bank terrorists is whether Iran or the US paid for them.

Great Idea!
can the West, uh... borrow it?

Exactly. At least Iran is getting their money's worth in that the weapons are used precisely as intended.

One last thing (old news, from 06 July 2006):

Somali Muslims who fail to perform daily prayers will be killed in accordance with Qur'anic law under a new edict issued by a leading cleric in the Islamic courts union that controls Mogadishu.

What's a poor Muslim to do?

You got me. I'm guessing some form of stimulated emission of resonant photons scattering from the metal atoms in the plates. The stored energy converts to a photon which "hops a ride" on the laser photons.

I serach about a little, but couldn't find anything more in depth.

Would like to see this in operation, but suspect that it might just be a laboratory oddity and a long way from production.

re: #145 madisonsfriend

Yes, just from the past few days.

re: #134 Opinionated

Want to know why Muslims are suffering? It's your fault. Yes you. Yes, you supporters of Israel.

"Leaders of American Muslim organizations attribute the growing intolerance to three main factors: global terrorist attacks in the name of Islam, disappointing reports from the Iraq war and the agenda of some supporters of Israel who try taint Islam to undermine the Palestinians".

re: #146 Perplexed

Yes, this technology is still in lab research. Several labs are developing similar systems. The goal is to boost the efficiency of the process.

re: #146 Perplexed

Lazer tech ... Is far further advanced than most know!
A little known place in Nevada...That's all I can say
about that!

Hamas's Gaza-based government said it had "decided to prevent any gatherings under the pretext of Friday (Muslim) prayers".

Surely that would involve closing 99.99% of mosques? (I'm not certain about the other .01%)

I know, lets give them a state! What a absolutely marvelous idea. Lets see if people who know nothing but violence can govern themselves. After further review it appears they are incapable of anything remotely resembling self governance.

re: #134 Opinionated

Muslims are victims everywhere.

Abandon Stereotypes, Muslims in America Say

ROSEMONT, Ill., Sept 3 — It is time for the United States to stop treating every American Muslim as somehow suspect, leaders of the faith said at their largest annual convention, which ended here on Monday.

Six years after the Sept. 11 attacks, Americans should distinguish between mainstream Muslims and the radical fringe, the leaders said.

[Link: www.nytimes.com...]

Well, I wonder if it has occurred to them that they could help make it just a tad easier to distinguish between "mainstream" Muslims and the "radical fringe" if all those "mainstream" Muslims were just a little bit louder and more sincere in denoucing Islamic terrorism and terrorists.

#153

According to the (admittedly clueless) Economist, Muslims have it pretty good in America (much better than they do in Eurabia).

Where are the American college students fighting for the Palestinians right to assemble?

I'll offer to scarifice a PIG to their god called allah if both FATAH and HAMAS have a combined MURDER/DEATH/KILL of 10,000 dead as a result of this ban.

I say...they should kill themselves in the name of their god called allah. Don't stop the killing boys.

Reine: I don't really have a comment, except to say I agree 100%. It's just nice to see it in print.

Well, it appears Haniyeh and his cohorts are nervous about "something."

The unrest? Is this like the un-dead?

We were told those who live in gazoo, are "happy."

Then, I read that those who "could afford it," ran away to other countries in the arab world. Including eygpt. Where, citizens in that "other world" aren't happy with them, either.

Rot from within.

And, if I had to guess? Just like north korea just collapsed, without a "shot being fired," the "diplomatic way" is to see to it that terrorists destroy their own abodes. So "you" don't have to.

You'd think "public prayers" would at least be the balliwick of the crazed gazoo-an "overlords. Remember? The said arafish wasn't religious enough. And, neither is abbas. "They" were gonna clean up.

So? Is it time, yet, to take out the garbage?

I'm pleased Arik Sharon, and 80% of the Israeli population; figured out the benefits from leaving gazoo.

re: #154 scaramouche

Ya think that Canada and the US could agree to collect all of the cult of islam members that are spreading in our countries like a pandemic and put them on a really huge ice floe in the Arctic?

Just a dream suggestion.

Banning Fathah's prayers? Hey, Fatah is the terrorist group the U.S. has decided to fund. How dare they do this! What's next, no fried chicken and macaroni salad at the Fatah potlucks? This is an outrage! How un-American.

/Sorry, but I couldn't care less.

Of course, Fatah would have to call Hamas' action as "Islamophobic".

Next, Hamas would declare Fatah as Islamophobic.

Soon, all Muslims would call each other as Islamophobic. So the Jooish plot is working after all.

re: #161 the_flying_pig

A little correction there.

"...the Hamas administration said Fatah had used outdoor worship on the Muslim rest day to sow “chaos and sedition” in the Gaza Strip."

- - - -

And the only "chaos and sedition" that Hamas will allow on Fridays is that of its own wild-eyed imams, preaching its own murder-loving sermons.

How stupid these creatures are, The whole world laughs at them, thankfully each bullet fired at themselves Is one less bullet fired at Israel !

Surely, this will happen,won't it?

In a move that is sure to create 1000 bin Ladens, Hamas is violating the freedom of religion and assembly of Palestinian Muslims. Hamas stopped Fatah's Friday prayers in Gaza claiming that they are just a pretext for inciting violence. This crack down demonstrates that Hamas is the only Islamic group in Palestine that can use Friday prayers as a pretext for inciting violence. What are they afraid of anyway? Just more oppression of the Palestinian people by Israel and the United States. Why else would Hamas fear Muslims?

This stunning display of Islamophobia by Hamas is sure to create a backlash. Hamas is creating hopelessness among Muslims which, in turn, causes terrorism. This affront to the religion of Islam will spawn a deep sense of desperation and injustice across the Muslim world. Terrorism and extremism directed against Hamas will continue to attract alienated Muslims until the unjust occupation and suppression of Palestinian Muslims are ended.

Soon, you will be reading about the throngs of Muslims all around the world chanting in protest "Death to Hamas!" Such actions will be completely understandable and within the bounds of normal human behavior as Palestinians have no other weapon to fight against the Hamas occupation machine. You may even see Hamas leaders beheaded for these insulting acts against Islam. Don't even be surprised to see Al Qaeda strike Hamas or see CAIR call for UN sanctions against them.

The Hamas oppression of Palestinian Muslims must stop. Until Hamas repents of this religious discrimination against Palestinian Muslims and prohibits the defamation of Islam there will be no peace in the Middle East.

I wonder what Hamas did against the multitude of people photographed in Gaza the other day lined up on the border protesting against Hamas' leadership. Too bad our MSM didn't give it better play. Hamas sounds like the Chinese demanding that Tibet must consult the Chinese gov before naming the reincarnated Dali Lama.

I do get this compulsion to laugh. But they have so much power. That is not funny.

Maybe if Muslims weren't indoctrinated with mindless hatred and didn't have to kneel with their rears in the air five times a day, they could actually accomplish something useful, instead of just being worthless parasites and psychotic murderers.
OK, I know that's not true of all Muslims, but the decent ones really need to do something about the hateful freaks who are causing the rest of the world to turn against all Muslims.
Just some friendly advice.

Also, the Palestinians must have the world's worst PR agents.

True. I don't think it is a good idea for U.S. foreign policy to back factions in the Muslim world. Just because one faction or group is fighting the same one we are, doesn't necessarily mean they are heroes fighting for freedom and other noble causes.

It's about a power grab in third world countries. Factions seize on the fact that U.S. foreign policy has focused in on one group and uses that to their advantage to receive backing in terms of money and weapons. When it turns out that the group we supported is every bit as cruel and barbaric as the one before it, our critics forever more use this to claim we wanted to back tyrants. Isn't that what happened in Afghanistan when our govt at the time supported the Mujahideen with weapons and money? Isn't that the argument that is made about us helping Iraq defeat Iran? It's not that the enemies of Bin Ladin for example want to defeat him because they believe in different things than he does and would be any better. It's because he is their rival in the battle for the power and control.
