Hamas to Gaza: NO DANCING!

So Israel pulled out of Gaza... Which is nominally good. Except Hamas has been gaining power in the region. That's not so good.

(Also, a distressingly large number of Palestinians who reportedly live with poor shelter burned down all the abandoned Israeli settlements... Yeah, you need housing so you burn down houses. That's just... Stupid. Congratulations, guys, you're idiots. I'm sure most of your religion is wishing folks like you weren't on the news all the time.)

Anyway, so Hamas, being ever so ... er... Reasonable... has been breaking up parties and stuff because of it's strict interpretation of Islamic law.

Why is it that retards who think they speak for God love to push everyone else around? Not cool. So continuing with a quote from London's Times:

After controversies when a Hamas-led council halted a dance festival and Islamist gunmen stopped a rap band performing in Gaza, Dr Zahar defended the enforcement of a strict interpretation of Islam.

“A man holds a woman by the hand and dances with her in front of everyone. Does that serve the national interest?” Dr Zahar said on the Arabic website Elaph. “If so, why have the phenomena of corruption and prostitution become pervasive in recent years?”

Yep, people. Mr.Mahmoud Zahar, the ranking Hamas nutjob in Gaza, believes that a man dancing with a woman is a matter of national security. So much in fact, that he blames prostitution and corruption on dancing.

Yes, that dancing! Those foul dancers, with their... moving around and whatnot! OBVIOUSLY... That is the cause of corruption in the world today. No, it's most certainly not a combination of, say, money, religion, and power. Nope. It's dancing.

Prostitution too. Yep, a girl who dances automatically thinks, "Hey, I should sleep with people for money!"

Yes. DANCING is the most pressing issue for the Palestinian state today.

Idiots. What worries me more than them saying this is that people actually believe them.

I think they need to be less worried about dancing and rap music (as much as I dislike rap music...), and more worried about the fact they think it's okay to strap bombs to their bodies and blow themselves up in crowds of civilians.
