"Selling a House to a Jew Is a Betrayal of Allah"
(Gatestone Institute) Khaled Abu Toameh - A Palestinian Muslim who commits the "crime" of selling property to Jews should not expect to be buried in an Islamic cemetery. Marriage to local Palestinians will no longer be an option for this criminal's family members, and any weddings the family makes will have no guests attending. This campaign of punitive measures, recently announced by a group of Palestinian activists in east Jerusalem, has received the blessing of senior Palestinian Authority and Hamas officials. It is also part of the belief that the entire land is Muslim-owned and no Muslim is entitled to give up even one inch of it to a Jew or Christian. The campaign undermines Palestinians' long-standing claim that Jews "illegally seize" Arab-owned houses and land in Jerusalem. It seems that rather than illegal seizure, Jews have been paying willing Arabs hard cash for the properties.
