"The Islamic Hamas movement banned girls last month from riding behind men on motor scooters and forbade women from dancing at the opening of a folk museum. Girls in some public schools must wear headscarves and cloaks. Signs of Hamas's creeping Islamization are everywhere in Gaza.

In an Oct. 13 speech, Abbas said Hamas was establishing an "emirate of darkness" in Gaza.

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The government’s Islamic Endowment Ministry has deployed Virtue Committee members to preach at public places to warn of the dangers of immodest dress, card playing and dating.

“We are working on young people, the next generation, to be more correctly Islamic,” he said. The older generation “is lost.”

And as for motorcycles: “A girl has to hold onto a boy’s waist to ride in the back. Things can happen. You know what I mean,” he said.

It is only a matter of time before Israel has to go in (again) and clean out the rats nest that is Gaza.

Bet the Palestinians are thinking twice about voting a terrorist organization into political power.

I hope I live to see the day when the Arab people living in Gaza rise up and rid themselves of this vile bunch of putrid slime.

The reason that the people suffer as they do is because of these jerks.And to top it off they now want to completely control the will of the people.

Since when the hell couldn't Muslims dance? Ick. The traditions of music and dance are widespread and deep-seated throughout the Islamic world. In this last century, these fundamentalist ass-hats have been actively destroying their own culture, hard-lining to strictures that were never a part of the Quran.

these fundamentalist ass-hats have been actively destroying their own culture, hard-lining to strictures that were never a part of the Quran.

And the ordinary people living in g=Gaza are the ones that suffer because of Hamas' barbarism:

Palestinian victims of Hamas swear revenge

SHADI Bakr Ahmad gingerly eased his legless torso into two new plastic limbs and vowed they would one day walk him back to his brutal destiny in Gaza.

The Fatah man and his 14 comrades in rehabilitation have barely six legs left between them, after being mutilated by their Hamas rivals during the violent takeover of power last June. All have unfinished business: they want to get back on their makeshift feet soon to hunt down the men who maimed them.
