Arab Knesset Merger Calls For Islamic Rule, Praises Hamas
Arutz Sheva ^ | 2-15-06

Two Israeli Arab parties have merged ahead of Knesset elections, launching their campaign by calling for Islamic rule in Israel and praising the Hamas terror group.



"Rule on earth, at least in Arab and Muslim land, should be by the Caliph [Islamic ruler and heir to Muhammad's authority –ed.]," chairman of the new merger between the United Arab List and the Ta'al Party Ibrahim Sarsour said Wednesday. "We believe in Islam and in the Caliphate and not in separation between state and religion."

Sarsour made the statement during a joint press conference with Arab MK Ahmed Tibi to announce the joint list's platform and party list.

The chairman took the opportunity to blame Zionists and the US government for a clash of civilizations being forced upon the Muslim world. "There is a hidden hand that acts in a bid to bring the world to a clash of civilizations," Sarsour said, referring to the cartoons of Islam's founder published recently in European newspapers. "I speak of that gang in the White House that tries to force one society's culture on another's. This is a part of a campaign against Islam, a campaign aimed at enlisting support in the West for military action against Iran."

Sarsour praised the Hamas terror group, which he said would lead the Arabs of the Palestinian Authority to "progress and achievements, not catastrophes [the Arabic word for catastrophe – Nakba – is how the Muslim world refers to the Arab defeat in the 1948 War of Independence –ed]."

The Arab politician said the overarching goal of the new merger of Arab parties is to prevent the "Israelization" and "Zionization" Arabs of Israel have had to combat. Specifically, Sarsour said the party would work to increase Arab immigration to the Jewish state and increase relations between Arabs with Israeli citizenship and the PA.

MK Ahmed Tibi said that the sentiments outlined by Sarsour represent the wishes of Israeli Arabs and said he did not think he was running against other Arab parties, but against "Zionist parties attempting to win Arab votes."

Fellow MK Taleb A-Sana promised that the party would support bills such as those that brought about the withdrawal from Gaza and northern Samaria and budgets that benefit the Arab public. He did not rule out sitting in a coalition government.

A-Sana, together with Balad Party MK Azmi Bishara were questioned earlier this week by Israel’s Police International Serious Crimes Unit in Petah Tikva regarding their recent trips to enemy states such as Syria and Lebanon, which were taken without receiving permission from the Interior Ministry. While in Syria, A-Sana met with Baath Party officials and members of the Syrian parliament. MK Tibi was investigated for similar infractions last June.

BTW Many times when Muhammad hit a bump on the road he conveniently got new revelations from his sock puppet Allah to smooth things out. There is so much Muhammad reveration in Islam that it is more properly called Muhammadanism. Denoting it's very common default to Muhammad worship. Cartoon rage can be explained by their Muhammad worship

Really! It seems the mindset is that everyplace his camel, or the camels of his cohorts, stopped to do their business, automatically became land for islam. Mo looked at the moon one night, therefore, the moon belongs to muslims. Mo's looked across the sea and 6,000 miles away just happened to be North America, therefore, North American must belong to muslims. Allahu fubar!

LOL  Muslims also come up with this idiotic arrogance: that all children are born Muslim, it's their parents who lead them astray into other religions. It's like the old Russian communist claim they invented baseball, basketball and lots of others things

Every Child is Born Muslim 
Thus, every child is born with a natural belief in Allah and an inborn inclination to worship Him alone called in Arabic the "Fitrah". If the child were left alone, he would worship Allah in his own way, but all children are affected by those things around them, seen or unseen.
The Prophet (PBUH) reported that Allah said, "I created my servants in the right religion but devils made them go astray". The Prophet (PBUH) also said, "Each child is born in a state of "Fitrah", then his parents make him a Jew, Christian or a Zoroastrian, the way an animal gives birth to a normal offspring. Have you noticed any that were born mutilated?" (Collected by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim).

You mean that when I was born, I was actually born in a state of "fitrah", preprogrammed to be muslim and "worship" allah?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Thank goodness my parents were "infidels" and raised me to be an "infidel." It just isn't my style to bend over and moon the sky with my caboose while praying.

Those treasonous evil Muslims should be thrown out of Israel, where they have no right to be in the first place.

Israel should try that Knesset member for treason.
