The Arab League has acknowledged the right of Israel to exist under the proper conditions of fairness. Once the fatwa's are issued by all the senior clerics of Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and Al-Aqsa etc, I would call upon the nations of Syria, Saudi Arabia and Egypt to mobilize both military ground and air forces to the border of Israel. The Israeli's have brought this upon themselves by continuing to defy international law. Now would be a good time for this to happen, because western forces are occupied in Iraq trying to keep all of the Iraqi people's oil money from going up in smoke. In addition, truly fair negotiations can take place when both parties are of equal strength, and the Palestinian people do not have tanks or an air force. I still condemn the killing of Sheikh Yassin, even though I think he was wrong.

There can be no excuse made available to Chairman Arafat, so that he may violate the principles of democracy. The killing of a Rabbi, a dedicated man of God, by Islamic Jihad is the pinnacle of unacceptability. If the Rabbi was wrong in his faith, which is not an issue which mortal men may decide, it is matter which only God may judge ultimately. If the death of the Rabbi were accepted, where would it stop? With the murder of Sheikh Yassin? Or even Ayatollah Ali Khameneh'i or His Holiness Pope John Paul II? No, these are all dedicated men of God, who serve and worship Him as they are commanded, and as the evidence dictates.I also call upon the true clerics of Holy Islam, to issue the appropriate fatwa to stop the violence in the lands that contain the sites Holy to the God of Abraham. Of course, Jihad must continue while there remains unfairness and injustice, however it need not be violent Jihad. IC
