PA President Abbas Won't Recognize the Jewish State, But Wants Palestine to be an Islamic State

Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority, said today in Ramallah that he would not recognize Israel as a Jewish State. He remarked, "A Jewish state, what is that supposed to mean? You can call yourselves as you like, but I don't accept it and I say so publicly."

Article 4, Section 1 of the Palestinian Authority's Basic Law states, "Islam is the official religion in Palestine."

Once again, Islam seeks for itself what it would deny to others.
