Hamas celebrates landslide victory in first ever local elections in Gaza
GAZA CITY (AFP) - The radical Islamist movement Hamas was celebrating a landslide victory in the first ever local elections in the Gaza Strip, winning 77 out of the 118 seats up for grabs, election commission sources said.

The mainstream Fatah faction of Palestinian Authority president Mahmud Abbas won just 26 seats while independents and minor parties won the remaining 15 slots in 10 municipalities across the territory in Thursday's election.

Hamas, a terrorist organization, won 65% of the spots. That is a larger percent than Bush got this time.

Is Islam, moderate or radical?

Is Islam, moderate or radical?Moderate when trying to sell themselves as peace lovers and to keep the world from attacking them, and radical the rest of the time.

How about "Islam is riddled with low down dirty scoundrels." :confused:

Probably so.

Isn't it amazing that millions of "those people" are brainwashed to think that we want to kill them, and that millions of "us people" are brainwashed to think that they don't? :confused:

Being that Islam's holy book has verses that are in accordance with today's action of its members, I am gonna say that radicalism to us is mainstream to Islam

You guys had better watch your mail for anthrax or a letter bomb for these guys. LOL...just joking and I would say they are radicals too. Unless it comes to getting aid or defense then they change for the time being.

Depends LARGELY on translation. People actually have begun to modernize it, how popular that movement is...I dunno. Much more popular in American Islam.

I think it's hard to classify the radical behavior as anything other than radical.
