As we witness democracy in action in Israel, a different kind of "political process" is playing out in the Palestinian territories:
A Hamas-dominated Palestinian parliament approved the Islamic militant group's cabinet and program on Tuesday, clearing the way for it to take control of the government two months after its shock election victory.
Chanting "God is Greatest" after the 71-to-36 vote, Hamas lawmakers hugged and kissed Ismail Haniyeh, their teary-eyed prime minister-designate who vowed to not to abandon the fight against Israel.
"The Koran is our constitution, Jihad is our way, and death for the sake of God is our highest aspiration," Hamas lawmaker Hamed Bitawi said.
SHARIAH LAW WAS BORN IN THE DARK AGES, AND STILL HIDES IN THE SHADOWS. EVIL DOES NOT BODE WELL IN THE LIGHT :)
