Hamas Cabinet Approved in 71-36 Vote
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - The new Hamas cabinet headed by Ismail Haniyeh was ratified on Tuesday by the Palestinian Legislative Council. Immediately after the vote, several Hamas legislators began shouting the famous Islamic battle cry of "Allahu Akbar." Holding high a copy of the Koran, legislator Hamed Bitawi shouted: "The Koran is our constitution, Mohammed is our prophet, jihad [holy war] is our path, and dying for the sake of Allah is our biggest wish." His remark drew a thunderous applause from all his Hamas colleagues.
