The Globe&Mail reports that Hamas is already talking about making sharia (Islamic law) the basis for the PA legal system. Sheik Mohammed Abu Teir (pictured) talked to reporter Mark MacKinnon:
“The No. 1 thing we will do is take sharia as a source for legislation. Sharia has a soul in it and is good for all occasions,” Mr. Abu Teir said in an interview with The Globe and Mail over a lunch of traditional Palestinian dishes supplemented with Coca-Cola.
