Hamas honcho under fire from Salafists for shaking hands with Shi'ite

"The Salafi Call" asks: "What is the difference between Jews, Hezbollah and Iran when they are all gathered in going against God’s word and wish to break down Islam?" That remark only underscores the fact that the greatest insults in the Arab world have involved placing one's opponent (including Gadhafi and Mubarak) in league with the Jews, and depends on Islamic antisemitism and the Qur'an's pronouncement of the Jewish people as "strongest in enmity" to Muslims (5:82).

"Egypt’s Salafists go after Hamas’ Haniyeh," by Manar Ammar for Bikya Masr, February 25 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

CAIRO: Egypt’s ultra-conservative “Salafists Call” condemned Hamas leader in Gaza Ismail Haniya shortly after he led a prayer in the al-Azhar Mosque on Friday, saying he met with Shiite leaders last week while all the killing in Iraq is ongoing and Sunnis are attacked almost daily.

“We refuse that Haniya leads the prayer in Egypt’s largest Sunni mosque after he shook hands with the Shiites, and Egypt is the country of the Sunni al-Azhar [and we] do not accept a man who put his hand into the hand that kills Sunnis in Iraq and Syria,” said a statement released by the Salafi Call on Friday.

Haniya is visiting Egypt for meetings with Egyptian officials on Gaza and the peace process with Israel.

The Call said that Haniya, who is being supported by the Muslim Brotherhood, follows a method of “lying, cheating and cunning and plays on all fronts after he shook hands with Shiite in Iran and Hezboallah and Bashar al-Assad and now he comes to Egypt to shake ours, despite he never condemned Assad even once.”

“What is the difference between Jews, Hezbollah and Iran when they are all gathered in going against God’s word and wish to break down Islam,” continued the Call.

“There is no difference between the massacres in Syria and Gaza, they are all Muslims,” the group added.

“Why do we only care about al-Aqsa and Jihad there and ignore Aleppo and the rest of Syria.”

The Call went on to criticize the Muslim Brotherhood, who in their opinion, tried its hardest to get Haniya to Egypt and failed to support the bearded police officers in their battle with the ministry of interior.

A number of police officers want to go against the code of the ministry and let their beards grow as they see it as part of their Islamic identity.

They wish to break down Islam!
Indeed, it's all about Shia vs Sunni, Iran vs Saudi Arabia.
Shia islam: Aisha is in Hell.
Sunni Islam: Aisha is the "Mother of Believers" par excellence.
Shia Islam: Muhammad's genitals are in Hell.
Sunni Islam: Muhammad's whole body is pure, even his human waste.
Evil is indeed self-destroying!

When thieves fall out. A pleasant spectacle.

Pardon me but isn't that what the koran teaches?

{وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ}

"Whoever allies with them is one of them." (5:51)

The Iranians are allies with "Christian" Hugo Chavez which makes them "Christian", who themselves "ally" with Hamas which makes it "Christian"!

It's a growing plague!

Did he perform wudu afterwards?

This is too good, and as the follow-up story later about Hamas withdrawing support to Assad, looks like it worked. I'm glad the Salafist Call, or whatever it is, called them on this and forced them to pick sides. So now, Hamas has to send its fighters to support the Sunni insurgents in both Iraq and Syria.

As an aside, I haven't been following events in Iraq, aside from the fact that Christians have virtually fled that country for Syria - even Kurdistan is not safe for them. So I'm glad that the Shia have started persecuting the Sunnis after the US withdrawal. They should also back the Assad regime, while Sunnis - Iraqi, Pali, Egyptian, Libyan, et al, can all go in droves to Syria. Oh, and let Moqtada al Sadr send all his fighters to Syria as well to back Assad, and the same thing should be done by Hizbullah.

Make it a free for all!

Does this mean the new uniform for Iranian soldiers will be mandatory long unruly beards? Good...more profiling for us!

I guess the Salafists want Hamas to turn down those big Zakat checks from Iran. That might prove inconvenient...
