Fatwa forbids PA Muslims to emigrate
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH
Alarmed by the growing number of Palestinians who are emigrating from the Palestinian territories, the Palestinian Authority's mufti has issued a fatwa [religious decree] forbidding Muslims to leave.
Sources in the PA Foreign Ministry told The Jerusalem Post that some 10,000 Palestinians have filed requests to emigrate from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the year. They said the requests had been approved.
"Every day we hear about hundreds of Palestinians who file requests for emigration with different consulates and diplomatic missions," the sources said.
"According to our statistics, there are at least 45,000 emigration applications being reviewed by different countries."
The sources said most of the applicants were young men seeking work abroad. They said the majority of them wanted to move to the US, EU and Canada.

Ohhh great, they want to come to the United States, probably so they could start their own little intifada here...
I think they should emigrate to some utopias that are found in the ummah...I think, for instance, that Saudi Arabia would be a good place, another one would be Iran...
