Hamas Kidnaps Fatah Official, Shaves Mustache

In an incident Muslim clerics have called a “chilling escalation,” Hamas security agents kidnapped Ibrahim Abu al-Naja, one of Fatah’s senior leaders in the Gaza Strip and shaved off his moustache.

Amidst the bombings, rocket attacks and shootings that dominate Palestinian politics, Westerners are baffled by the severe reaction to what is a common fraternity prank in the United States.

“Shedding blood is the honorable way to deal with political opponents and infidels,” said Imam Yasser Asser, Gaza’s most revered Muslim cleric. “But this is a defilement, a humiliation worse than death.”

Pressure is building for Naja to avenge his honor by a suicide attack on an Israeli school. “The Zionists are the root of all our troubles,” Asser said. “Muslims will not be able to live in brotherhood until the Jewish presence is exterminated.”

Shaving off a mustache worse than death?
Man, I must be really insane or dead because I need to get my mustache waxed about every ten days.

"“Shedding blood is the honorable way to deal with political opponents and infidels,”

And we have politicians running on a platform of "negotiating" and being "diplomatic" with these people...

I'll vote for the first candidate who will promise to attack and level if need be, the very next Islamic Republic who sponsors an attack or provocation against us.

To believe that the world can exist peacefully and freely with militant Islamists -- is demonstrably naive at best or insane.

No. Blowing up a police station is a common fraternity prank in Gaza.
