Much debate has transpired in this forum regarding the propriety of U.S./Allied attacks on Afghanistan during the Islamic holy month of Rammadhan.
Lately, I have found Plaestianian Authority leader Yasser Arafat to be more reasonable than Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, but now Arafat is not doing anything to arrest the assasins of an Israeli cabinet member back in November. I found this from the AP and FoxNews.com today and found it particularly disappointing of Mr. Arafat:
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, meanwhile, sent a message to Arab and Muslim leaders asking them to support the Palestinians' uprising against Israel during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which begins later this week.
So, it IS okay for Muslims to attack during Rammadhan? As long as no other group attacks any of them, I guess.
ALSO, if I heard correctly, former South African President Nelson Mandela is encouraging U.S. President bush NOT to let up on the attacks during Rammadhan, that the U.S. should indeed persist in its war on terrorism. Any thoughts on this?
