Preaching before an audience that included Abbas, Sheikh Yusuf Juma? Salamah said in Friday?s sermon on PA TV that the ideal Palestinian woman is like Al Khansah, the heroine of Islamic tradition who celebrated her four sons? death in battle by thanking God for the honor. Salamah, the PA Minister of Waqf, quoted Al Khansah:
?Al Khansah, this noble woman? The day she lost her brother Sakher [before she adopted Islam] she began crying, shouting and feeling pain. She recited poetry: ?The sunrise reminds me of Sakher, and I remember him with every sunset, and had there not been around me all the mourners for their brothers, I would have killed myself?. This was during the Jahiliyah [pre-Islam period]. When Allah filled her heart with love for Islam, and it became full of faith, things changed. She sent her four sons, her offspring, to battle, to Qadisiyah [near Iraq] as a service to this religion.
When she was notified that they had become Shahids (Died for Allah), she said, ?Praise Allah, who granted me honor with their deaths. I pray that he will take me to them at the place where His mercy dwells.?This is the great woman. This is the noble woman. Have you seen how Islam changed her behavior, her virtues, and her poetry?...? [PA TV, March 11, 2005]

watch these movies. These people really do teach nothing but hatred to their kids. But we must know what is the root cause of all this. I doubt its religion. Its not religion that kills, but the followers of that religion. These people are simply twisted.
