Hamas Calls Bush 'Islam's Biggest Enemy'

August 23, 2003, 12:02 PM EDT


GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -- A leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Saturday called President Bush an enemy of Islam because the U.S. government froze the assets of Hamas leaders in response to a suicide bombing of a bus in Jerusalem.

Speaking to Dubai-based Al-Arabiya TV, Abdel Aziz Rantisi called the action "a theft of Muslim money by the Americans" and said the frozen money doesn't belong to Hamas.

"Hamas does not have any money in the U.S., Europe or even in the Arab states. President Bush has become Islam's biggest enemy," Rantisi said in the interview.

If this needs moved to FA I understand, but I thought this crossed over into BN since it's primarily about Bush.

... between the September 11th attacks and the Chimp's arrogant foreign policies... particularly the hands-off (let-it-fester) approach to the Middle East.

Some will argue that September 11th would have happened anyway. But stories and public admonitions and announcements like this one only strengthen my belief that indeed a lot more folks than previously thought see the Chimp and the US as an enemy to be struck down.

Clearly, the Chimp is hoping to provoke another attack on U.S. interests. Whether it's on the scale of a September 11th attack or not, this administration definitely is about the cream their boxers over the thought of a new attack.
