DAR AL HARB/ISLAM - HOLY LAND: 'PALESTINE' WILL EXPERIENCE FREEDOM, SHARI'AH LAW STYLE, I THINK THEY MAY LIKE IT LESS THAN THE 'OCCUPATION'

Gaza Residents Anticipate an Islamic Future

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - After days of violence, the Gaza Strip was quiet on Friday as citizens there awakened to a new Islamic reality.One Gaza resident said that while he and his family are physically fine, they feel "terrible" because they don't know what the future holds.

"Hamas militants are behaving politely," said an economist who asked not to be named. Since Thursday night, people have been allowed to go out, he said. Hamas members allowed Gazans to visit a prison formerly controlled by the Fatah faction, showing them the jail cells and implements of torture in an effort to paint themselves as the good guys, the man said.

Hamas has vowed to bring strict Islamic law to the Gaza Strip.

Arab affairs expert, Dr. Mordechai Kedar from the BESA Center for Strategic Studies near Tel Aviv, said he expects the situation in the Gaza Strip to worsen.

In the beginning, Hamas may stabilize the situation but then support for the fundamentalists will decrease, Kedar said -- when Hamas starts closing down restaurants and cafes after sunset, for example.

Kedar said he believes the "residue" of Fatah in Gaza might start a resistance movement. He also predicted that divisions among the dozens of clans and militias would flare and rekindle the fighting.
