Was Yassin a Spiritual Leader?
(Ha'aretz) Amira Hass - "Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was neither a religious leader nor a spiritual leader. He did not establish religious precedent and he was not a spiritual, religious man," says S., a Hamas member in Gaza who frequently met with Yassin. "A spiritual, religious leader," says S. "is a person who sits at home, rules on issues of religious law, and receives people who come to him to get his blessing. This is not what Yassin was."
