The debate is over. It's time for the international community to embrace Hamas and stop trying to convince the terrorist organization (or any Muslim country, for that matter) to recognize Israel's right to exist. After all, we all know that we musn't ever interfere with the free practice of religious beliefs.
Former PA foreign minister Mahmoud A-Zahar of Hamas said Friday that recognizing Israel contradicts the Koran, Israel Radio reported.
In an interview with a Hamas-affiliated Web site, A-Zahar said that Hamas had not given up on the principle that all of Palestine is Muslim land.
Yes. We knew that.
