The incoming Hamas government will move quickly to make Islamic sharia "a source" of law in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and will overhaul the Palestinian education system to separate boys and girls and introduce a more Islamic curriculum, a senior official in the movement said yesterday.Abu Teir, who was No. 2 on the Hamas list of candidates gives the rationale:
Given that we are talking about Hamas, is it clear from the last paragraph that they want to lower the level of suicides?He made it clear that one way Hamas planned to encourage the next generation to follow sharia was to revamp the Palestinian education system, separating girls' and boys' classes and introducing a more Islamic curriculum.
"We will take such measures because we look at examples in the West, like Sweden. They have the highest level of co-education and the highest level of suicides," he said. "We would like our children to have a protected environment. We don't want any distractions for our boys or our girls." [emphasis added]

I think they mean they plan to send a few of the more promising boys to Sweden for a couple years of preparatory work.
ReplyDeleteNo, seriously, clearly they hold the Swedish model in disdain, producing so many suicides and not a Jew killed from the lot of them.
When I first read the article I did a double-take. It just seemed kind of jarring to see an Islamist terrorist group show concern for the Palestinian suicide rate--even knowing how modern-day Imams have attempted to reinterpret the Koran to 'justify' it when it involves the death of innocent women and children.
