Gaza - Hamas burning American flag

It has already been reported that while much of the Middle East was pleased with Osama bin Laden's assassination by American forces, the Palestinian Arabs stood out as the only regional group to oppose the elimination of the arch-terrorist.
Recent rallies in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip have revealed just how much Palestinian Islamists idolized bin Laden and how broad was his popularity on the "Palestinian street."
During the various rallies, the standard chants of the thousands of attendees have been: "Bin Laden Shattered Crosses" (speaking to their hatred of Christianity) and "America is the Enemy of Allah."
At one rally, Hamas leader Sheikh Munir Al-Aydi eulogized bin Laden by praising the latter's dedication to "lead the global jihad against America and its allies, the worshippers of the cross."
Western leaders have for the past decade been trying hard to equate Christianity with Islam and the God of the Bible with Allah. They are adamant that there is no religious war taking place.
But the Palestinian Islamists clearly do not agree.
In light of these dangerous delcarations by Hamas leaders, it is important to once again call out Western leaders who insist that Hamas be made part of the diplomatic peace process with Israel.
Not only does Hamas continue to refuse to recognize Israel's right to exist, but it openly advocates the teachings of terrorists who want to impose Islamic law on the entire world.

NOTE:
To Congress: Can you hear Hamas? See America's flag burning? Noted that Hamas is on America's list of terrorists? Then why are you allowing this administration to continue its losing agenda of forcing Israel into peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority/Abbas? In case you need to be reminded, the Palestinian Authority, backed and supported both financially and militarily by the United States, has signed a "peace" agreement with Hamas last month. The PA's and Hamas are united, as "One" .... "one" against the State of Israel and the U.S.!
Time to stop ALL aid to the Palestinians and insist that this administration recognize the State of Israel as our only ally in the Middle East.
Egypt is now rejecting previous peace agreements with the State of Israel; whatever peace Egypt had with Israel lasted 30 years. The barriers have been torn down between Gaza and Egypt, Hamas is free to come and go across the border, and soon more weapons will be carried into Gaza, not through tunnels, but openly, across the border.
The Arabs are united - united against Israel and its time the United States opened its eyes to this fact; all the fake smiles from Obama won't change the hearts and minds of the Arab Muslims.
The Middle East is burning with one desire and that desire is to wipe Israel off the map! During the Egyptian uprising they were holding and flying the Palestinian flag in downtown Cairo .... their uprising is not about democracy, it is about killing the Jews and making Israel another Arab state. Murbarak was standing in the way! Egypt is no longer an ally of the United States; it is choosing radical organizations, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, the Nazis and this, dear folks, does not sound like "democracy" to anyone who understands the meaning of democracy, liberty and freedom.
Last year, our own State Department gave permission to the Palestinian Authority to fly their flag in Washington, DC BEFORE any negotiations with Israel had taken place. This was allowed in spite of objections from Congressmen and women.
I'll ask again, is the United States standing with the protesters in Egypt who held up the Palestinian flag - sending a message across the Arab world that they intend to wipe Israel off the map, or are we standing with the State of Israel? Take down that despicable Palestinian flag flying high in Washington - that would be a good message to send to those who are now burning America's flag in Gaza.
