@Silverchild79,
It gets worse read the latest from the leading mufti (like the pope), innocent Palestinians trying to flee will be killed? Jesus these Palestinian holy men are barbaric savages.
Fatwa forbids PA Muslims to emigrate
Evidently the Palestinian jihad, like Islam itself, has no exit door. By Khaled Abu Toameh for the Jerusalem Post (thanks to Sr. Soph):
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.
What? To the Great Satan and other infidel strongholds? Why not to Saudi Arabia? Iran?
Of course, among the people who want to emigrate to the West there are doubtless many who are not ideologues, who just want to get on with their lives. But they are trapped.

No doubt the watchtowers, rolls of barbed wire, 12 foot fence, guard dog patrols and plowed strip will soon be put in place just like the former Soviet Bloc countries to stop people from leaving.
