Palestinians: Gaza Withdrawal a Victory for Islam
(Palestinian Media Watch) Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook - PA religious leaders and Hamas have for years been presenting their conflict with Israel as part of an unbroken religious war which Allah is waging against Jews - a conflict whose climax will be the extermination of the world's Jews. Within this context, Israel's leaving its towns in Gaza is being presented as a victory of Islam in this war. PA Television hosts and participants alike are calling the Israeli moves a "great victory for Allah." The Hamas website publicized numerous posters that declare the same religious victory theme. One Hamas poster, showing the face of Hamas founder Ahmad Yassin laughing, superimposed over a somber religious Jew, presents the Sharon evacuation plan as a victory of the Koran over the Talmud.
