No surprise here. The agenda has always been and remains the recovery of the lands of Israel for the Dar al-Islam. From CNSNews.com, with thanks to Nicolei:
Jenata, West Bank (CNSNews.com) - If it were up to Ibrahim Alsakra, a member of Islamic Jihad who recently won a seat in municipal elections in the Palestinian Jenata district near Bethlehem, he would make an agreement with Israel based on a total Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza Strip.While Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction came out ahead overall in recent municipal elections, radical Islamic groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad made historic gains in the once-solid Christian area of Bethlehem.
Now there are fears that Hamas could win parliamentary elections scheduled for this summer, something that would complicate any attempt to renew Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
"If Hamas controls parliament it will [be] an Islamic State. That's not good," said a Bethlehem resident. It will not be good for the peace process, he added.
Both Hamas and Islamic Jihad are opposed to any negotiated settlement with Israel, and they aim to establish an Islamic state in all of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Israel proper. But recently some leaders have spoken of talks with Israel.
Sitting in his home, dressed in a long white religious robe and keffiyeh (a Palestinian head scarf), the bearded Alsakra said he is not a politician - that he ran for public office to serve the people.
Alsakra said he spent nine years in an Israeli prison for security-related offenses, which he would not name. Before that, Alsakra said he worked as a plumber and did jobs in Israeli settlements. (The Israeli settlement of Tekoa on a nearby hilltop is visible from the village.)
Alsakra said he went to prison as a Fatah activist and came out as a member of Islamic Jihad. After his release, he decided that he could not work in the settlements and fight to take over the land at the same time.
"Fatah is now weak," Alsakra said. The Islamic organizations tried to liberate Palestine, but the situation is bigger than Islamic Jihad, he said. Therefore, they are willing to enter into a temporary agreement, he added.
"We made an agreement with the Israeli side now and stopped everything. Now we're looking for Israel to respect the agreement," Alsakra said.
Remember in Islam treaties made with infidels are not binding on the Muslims.
Muslims take the example of Mohammad who made the Treaty of Hudabiyya with the Meccans which was supposed to be a ten-year truce but two years later Muhammad and his Barmy Army returned in force and put them to the sword.

It is pretty clear few know this in the Bush cabinet. I think Rumsfield has read a lot about Islam that is not pro Islamist propaganda, but would never admit the truth. Dhimmi Rice really needs to read a few books rather than those she is directed to by the ever present dhimmis Armstrong, CAIR, etc.
Islam is racist in character, it's a great scheme. Under the cloak of religion you create this obedient 'race', and base your 'race's' ideology on the superiority of your 'race' to all the other 'races.' But because you are cloaked in theology....it can't be any sweeter than that if you plan to conquer the world and make it submit to the will of Allah. That is why it is ok to kill the other races (i.e., the apostates). That is why Muslim immigrants do not integrate, and why it is OK to defraud the infidel government and steal from the infidels. It is in support of the elimination of those 'races' by financially hurting them as much as possible for now.
There should be a tag to Islam that becomes associated with Islam, 'elitist Islam', or something like that because it reframes the viewpoint of the oppression propaganda the Islamists and dhimmis spit out, that 'voodoo' they do so well.
Yes; I would say the hudna is working very well. Of course Israel is not foolish enough to buy into it for a moment. The rockets are still falling and it is just a matter of a little time that the dam trying to contain all those growing and re-arming Palestinian jihadists will burst after all, their 72 virgins are waiting for them. Hamas has made their intentions more than clear in the 36 articles of the Hamas Charter which they say like the Quran; it cannot be changed.
reset-
"Elitist Islam" is a little collegiate-sounding.
How about:
"IMPERIALIST ISLAM."?
It's alliterative. And it's homicidally accurate.
Their plan for the 'Restored Caliphate' makes the Roman or British Empires look like a bunch of pissant pikers.
Their Imperium would be built on a billion skeletons, bathed in blood, and would imprison the mind, gouge out the heart and leave the soul withered away by the hate-filled commands of the megalomaniacal pedophile prophet.
Its True Believers are all Koran-intoxicated superstitious hysterics.
And the so-called 'moderates' are mostly hiding in tongueless fear.
A coward's religion.
Killing bound prisoners. Blowing up schoolkids.
Rioting over a toilet rumor.
The title of the Koran, translated more colloquially into English should be:
"The Loser's Guide to World Domination Through Deception, Intimidation, Predation and Manipulation".
A sidenote-
(eBay will not allow the sale of 'Mein Kampf' in its original German. Time for them, and Amazon, etc. to also forbid the sale of the Koran in Arabic. Just to be accurate.)
According to Islamic historian Imam Tabari, Allah says that a true believer does the prayers, pays the tax, bows in homage and RENOUNCES AGREEMENTS WITH JEWS...caps mine...but they might as well be those of Hamas...
Remember the koran says 'Therefore do not falter or sue for peace when you have gained the upper hand' (47:34).
This means that a true Muslim will only hold out the olive branch when Islam's Barmy Army is weak.
Anyone with some knowledge of the history of Islam and its eternal jihad against non believers, will know that a "two state solution" with Israel is a ridiculous fantasy but out for the naive westerner.
Islam has a divine mandate to rule the world.
All the secular laws of Human Rights, respect of religion ,equality, fraternity are man made rubbish to be relegated to the dustbins of history when the time comes.
Israel unlike Europe is fighting back because it has nowhere "to go" and it believes in the "Holy land".
While we worry about the possible desecration of a Koran, they turn our churches into rubbish dumps or latrines and urinate on our Bibles without the any sense of guilt whatsoever.
Where is Rice's outrage at the desecration of Christians in Saudi ARABIA?
The absolutely Intolerant Imperialist conqueror that is Islam is transformed into a peace loving religion by hordes of western revisionist historians, who are so filled with hatred against their own western culture that they willingly reverse History.
A hundred million dollars is spent by Hollywood to vilify Christianity and pay homage to Islam!
the west is committing suicide -so hateful of the glorious civilisation that spawned it that it would rush willingly into the Jaws of the savages that attack it and have no reservations of revealing their true aims.
For hundreds of years, westerners were protected by brave soldiers form the slaughter, rape and enslavement of Islam. When and why did this history stop being taught in our schools?
Now we see in ENGLAND the first elected MP for islamofascism, George Galloway, surely a traitor of traitors, and more will follow him.
Now the Saudi sponsored Jihad gathers momentum. it advances in leaps and bounds through demography, infiltration of our universities, terrorism, control of the western media, and soon when a biological or nuclear weapon falls into their hands, they will not hesitate to use it against us and we will see once again the slaughters that expressly we have written out of our history books.
"Where is Rice's outrage at the desecration of Christians in Saudi ARABIA?"?
Where is Dhimmi (and disapointing) Rice's OUTRAGE at the destruction of 12th century Christian orthadox chuches in Bosnia? The Muslims are using some of them as toilets, garbage dumps, urinating on Bibles,.
Where is the media outrage for that matter?
We know the Serbs can't retaliate because they will get shot or bombed.
Why aren't we shooting and bombing these 'extremist' muslims?
Might be time for some of the Fatah-led P.A. forces to think about a career change, or retirement. I already did a "Top 10 Signs it's Time to Retire from P.A Security" list on my own blog, but now it looks like there might be more than 10 reasons. Whether this turns out to be good or bad in the long run is hard to tell, probably depends on how many bullets are used to work things out.
