| 2013-05-09 |
| [Al Ahram] Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... condemned the arrest of Jerusalem's most senior Musselmen holy man by the Israeli authorities, Paleostinian news agency WAFA reported on Wednesday. Abbas regarded the detention step as a "severe violation of the freedom of worship" and called for the "immediate release" of the mufti of Jerusalem, Mohamed Hussein. According to AFP, Israeli police were questioning Hussein for suspected involvement in a "disturbance" at the Al-Aqsa mosque located in the Holy City. "Some chairs were thrown at a group of Jews on the Temple Mount," which Musselmens refer to as Al-Haram Al-Sharif, police front man Micky Rosenfeld told the news agency of the previous day's incident. |
