Gaza cleric issues edict calling violation of truce with Israel “a sin”
The fatwa, or religious edict, issued by Suleiman al-Daya late Saturday accords a religious legitimacy to the truce and could justify any act by Gaza’s government to enforce it.
“Honoring the truce, which was sponsored by our Egyptian brethren, is the duty of each and every one of us. Violating it shall constitute a sin,” the fatwa read…
Hamas’ founding charter calls for Israel’s destruction, but leaders of the group have also said they are ready for a long-term cease-fire with the Jewish state.

Guess this means those sub-humans who go against this ‘edict’ only get 20 gals, when they go against this and die, not the 72?

And then another cleric issues another edict calling it a “sin” to have a truce with Israel and round and round we go!

Hope this cleric likes a hamas style motorcycle ride.

The only thing that is NOT a sin under Islam: having a penis

But the good book, LOL, the Koran says that it is ok to lie to infidels if it gets you closer to conquering them.

Excellent. I approve. Now, when (not if, but when) Hamas violates the truce, we can hold Morsi personally liable. And treat him as a war criminal (Hamas targets civilians, and hides amongst civilians.)
