From BBC:
Well, we'll have to thank they are from tha "Anti Agression Campaign". Just imagine what theirplans would be if they were from an "Agression Campaign".At a weekend meeting in Istanbul, 200 religious scholars and clerics met senior Hamas officials to plot a new jihad centred on Gaza.
The BBC's Bill Law was the only Western journalist at the meeting.
In a hall crowded with conservative Sunni Muslim sheikhs and scholars, in a hotel close to Istanbul's Ataturk Airport speaker after speaker called for jihad against Israel in support of Hamas.
The choice of Turkey was significant. Arab hardliners were keen to put aside historic differences with the Turks.
As one organiser put it: "During the past 100 years relations have been strained but Palestine has brought us together."
Many delegates spoke appreciatively of the protest by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who stormed out of a Davos debate on Gaza two weeks ago.
Gaza gives us power, it solves our differences... Palestine is a legitimate theatre of operations for jihad
Mohsen al-Awajy, Saudi religious scholar
The conference, dubbed the Global Anti-Aggression Campaign, also gave impetus to Sunni clerics concerned about the growing power of Hezbollah, the Shia movement backed by Iran, which rose to international prominence in its own war with Israel in 2006.

Yes, Gaza really solves differences. That's why Fatah and Hamas have such brotherly relations and love for eachother. Why do these idiot pubic-bearded Arabs even bother when Palestians can't even get along with themselves? As one moderate Egyptian shopkeeper I heard quoted once, "I don't care about the Palestian cause anymore. It is like trying to console two warring brothers."
A Jewish-BNP Alliance Against Muslims in the UK?

Well, Total I really believe it's a question of power. They have an external enemy that is Israel, and then they have an "inside" enemy, that is Iran and, as a result of Iranian support, Hizbullah. They do not want Shiites to spread their own beliefs in Gaza Strip,when that is something done already. I read here some months ago that there were entire families to Shia Islam ... for money.
It's a career decision," a Palestinian source said. "When you're Shi'ite, you become more trusted by Iran and Hizbullah and you might even get more money."
Of course, the cause of all evils for this people is Israel, but I don't this is primarily or mainly about Israel. What they really don't like is the Iranian influence in the region.
Turkey is a different thing. Even if they are Sunni Muslims, AKP Government is approaching Iran. Apart from the evident judeophobia of the AKP party in the Government, Turkey wants to begin playing an important role inside Middle East as a Muslim country, not as a secular one,as that would also boost their influence.
Of course, I can be mistaken about this...
Anon: That links only says that there are some Jews that have joined the BNP there are NO other proofs. That does not mean that there is an alliance in the making....
