Happy Holidays from Hamas: Crucifixion OK'd as Punishment in Gaza
I suppose the Jews forced them into this: the tradition-minded legislators of Gaza reached way back into the annals of jurisprudence to find appropriate censure for some crimes. As filtered through various sources and finally mentioned on Solomonia:
Hamas members of the Palestinian Legislative Council in Gaza have approved a new bill "to implement Koranic punishments," including hand amputation, crucifixion, corporal punishment and execution.
It's nice to see Hamas finds the old Roman ways worth emulating. What's next, reading chicken entrails and speaking Latin?
When Hamas does crucify someone, I wonder what kind of play it will in the mainstream press. "Ancient Penalty Reflects New Strictures Imposed by Israel" sounds about right.
