-- Under the title "Get the Americans Out" Dr. Hassan Abbas inquired
in moderate Arabic daily Al-Rai (04/21):
"The Americans have been a catalyst for instability, insecurity and
chaos in Iraq. This has prompted them to establish a timetable for
the withdrawal of American forces. This new vision is one that we
support. What do you think?"
-- Conservative Islamist MP Dr. Walid Al-Tabtabaei penned in
conservative Arabic daily Al-Watan under the title "The Million
Signature Campaign" (04/21):
"Palestine is the worldwide number one Islamic issue that is tied to
our Islamic faith. As such, the Aqsa mosque must be liberated from
the aggressors, and we must sacrifice blood to get it back from the
rapist Jews."
-- Under the title "Al-Aqsa Calls Us" Dr. Ahmad Al-Duaij
editorialized in conservative Arabic daily Al-Watan (04/21):
"The Aqsa festival is a campaign to collect one million signatures
to be sent to the UN Secretary-General condemning and refusing
Jewish attempts to demolish the Aqsa mosque. Any such action by the
Jews was best described by a political commentator as one that would
likely lead to World War III."
