The new Hamas leader in Gaza on Sunday called President Bush an enemy of Islam and said that "God declared war" against the United States and Israel -- but stopped short of saying the group would strike U.S. targets.

The Hamas chief, Abdel Aziz Rantisi, renewed threats to attack Israel in retaliation for the assassination of the group's founder, Sheik Ahmed Yassin, last week. He was addressing a Hamas rally at Gaza City's Islamic University.

He must be referring to Arafat, not Allah, 'cause Allah hasn't declared anything in ages.

Hey, Rantisi! Bring it on, you unwashed POS! The sooner the battle be joined the sooner we can rid ourselves of the vile scourge of radical Islam.

The press continues to call the killing of Yassin an assassination.

It was a long overdue, justifiable execution.

Rantisi hasn't stopped talking since Yassin was killed. As long as talking is all he does, he may live a little longer. If Hamas instigates more suicide bombings, however, Rantisi will surely be taken out.

Well, we appear to have yet another foreign leader who is pulling for Kerry.

"We knew that Bush is the enemy of God, the enemy of Islam and Muslims," Rantisi told the crowd. "America declared war against God. Sharon declared war against God and God declared war against America, Bush and Sharon."

"The war of God continues against them and I can see the victory coming up from the land of Palestine by the hand of Hamas," he said.

Keep talking, bearded lady. The more I hear these guys the more I think that Mohammed was the anti-Christ.

I believe the God that Bush prays to is bigger than the god that they kill for.

They say it's the same God, but I find it hard to believe. The messages are so different.

So if Hamas has declared war on the USA, in defense of this great nation shouldn’t we oblige them with annihilation?

Notice how carefully he worded his statement...he said that "God" declared war on America.

Apparently "God" is losing the war.

I’d sure like to read the declaration myself or better yet, listen to the cassette tape.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel ping list.

WARNING: This is a high volume ping list

The messages are delivered by prophets.

Same God, different prophets.

Look at it this way.

Let's substitute God with Bill Clinton, Muslims with Democrats, and Christians with Republicans.

To Democrats, Bill Clinton is the greatest President in American history.

To Republicans, he's the worst scourge that ever disgraced the hollowed halls of American governance, and a stain on the American tapestry.

Neither perception alters the reality of Bill Clinton.

There is but one God, there can be no others.

Mohammed's interpretation of God does not change the actuality of who He truly is.

The good news is that there is some common ground between Christians, Muslims, and Jews...we are all God's children.

Some day, that fact will prevail.

From the Religion of Peace.

Allah declared war against Bush in the year 622.

If you believe that this guy speaks for God, or even for all Muslims, then you must also think that I speak for all Christians.
