"Abbas borde stenas"

Den egyptiske Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi har skapat problem på västbanken med sitt uttalande om att president Abbas eventuellt borde stenas till döds.
De muslimska prästerna på västbanken hade fått i uppdrag att ta avstånd från al-Qaradawis uttalande under fredagsbönen, men i flera fall behövde de polisbeskydd för att ta sig bort från moskéerna. Budskapet föll tydligen inte alla åhörare i smaken.

PA cops defend mosque preachers from congregants
"Palestinian Authority policemen raided a number of mosques in the West Bank during Friday prayers to stop worshipers from attacking preachers who strongly criticized Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, one of the most prominent Islamic scholars, eyewitnesses said.
The preachers were instructed by the PA leadership in Ramallah to condemn the Egyptian-born Qaradawi, who lives in Qatar, for urging Muslims to stone President Mahmoud Abbas in Mecca. "

Hamas och Egypten på kollisionskurs
Arab World: The Egypt-Hamas collision course
En artikel av Khaled Abu Toameh som beksriver den försämrade relationen mellan Hamas och Egypten.
"Seeking to embarrass the Egyptians and exert pressure on them to halt the construction of the barrier, Hamas has in the past three weeks managed to mobilize major media outlets in the Arab and Islamic world against the project.
Hamas began organizing tours for local and foreign journalists and photographers to the Palestinian side of the border so that they could see with their own eyes the "engineering" work. Al-Jazeera, the Arab world's most popular TV network, which has long been extraordinarily sympathetic toward Hamas, took upon itself the mission of depicting the Egyptians as being part of a US-Israeli conspiracy to "strangle" the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
