Haneyya: Fatah authority waging war on Islam

[ 17/08/2010 - 04:28 PM ]

GAZA, (PIC)-- Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haneyya said the Fatah authority in the West Bank has begun a war on Islam after it called for visits to Jerusalem while it is under occupation.

The Palestinian premier said the call was to implement an Israel-U.S. draft, warning of attempts to impose normalization on the Muslims.

Haneyya said Monday evening during a rebuilding ceremony for the police headquarters in Gaza’s Shati refugee camp:

“With the beginning of the blessed month of Ramadan, the Fatah authority in Ramallah took several steps, including stopping the Aqsa mosque preacher, president of the Palestinian Scholars League, and parliamentarian, Sheikh Hamid al-Beitawi, from speaking, as they kept thousands of mosque speakers from speaking and giving religious lessons, and left around a thousand mosques without callers to prayer, imams, and speakers, closed a thousand centers for memorizing the Koran in the [West] Bank, shut down Zakat committees, and arrested scholars, and fired them from their jobs.”

“They will not strip the religion from the hearts of the people, and will not prosper in their war against Islam, because it is a war with Allah,” Haneyya proclaimed.

The prime minister denounced attempts by the Fatah authority in Ramallah to impose normalization of religion on the Muslims. “They were not content with normalization of politics but want to impose a religious normalization on the Muslim scholars by pushing them to visit the Aqsa Mosque while it is held captive.”

“Do not give in to this dirty war. Defend your religion and mosques. Go out to the streets and proclaim your rejection of these foul actions,” Haneyya said addressing the people of the West Bank.
