      U.S. Wary of Hamas Role in Parliament     By BARRY SCHWEID, AP Diplomatic Writer   14 minutes ago     http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060126/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_mideast_2;_ylt=At3ijMI0Wo9a.rWYUlga0nEUvioA;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl     (Comments in RED are Mine)     WASHINGTON - The Bush administration, in advance of results showing that Hamas held sway in Palestinian parliamentary elections, renewed its pledge not to deal with the organization the State Department considers a terrorist group.      President Bush was quoted in a story published Thursday as saying the United States would have nothing to do with the militant group until it abandons its stated intention of annihilating the state of     Israel. Hamas has taken responsibility for several attacks on Israel. In an interview in The
 Wall Street Journal, Bush said of Hamas: "The answer is: Not until you renounce your desire to destroy Israel will we deal with you." Bush scheduled a news conference Thursday morning at the White House.     The office of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said Thursday that Secretary of State     Condoleezza Rice had called Abbas to praise Palestinian democracy and assert that the
 United States supports him and his policies. "She asserted to him that U.S. administration will continue supporting the elected president and his policies," said Nabil Abu Rdeneh, an Abbas aide. Abbas, who was elected separately a year ago and remains president, must ask the largest party in the new parliament — presumably Hamas — to form the new government.     In Washington Thursday, a State Department official confirmed that Rice had telephoned Abbas. This official, declining to be identified because Rice had not yet commented publicly, said Abbas was still the head of the     Palestinian Authority and continues to have an important role to play.     The initial speculation Wednesday — as Hamas ran neck-and-neck with Abbas'     Fatah Party — was
 that Hamas would steer clear of a post involving peacemaking efforts and would be consigned to domestic ministries such as education. But Hamas' defeat of Fatah could change that calculation in a way that might put pressure on Washington to find a way to both uphold aversion to the militant group and also promote peacemaking.     Rice is due to meet in London on Monday with U.N., Russian and European leaders as the so-called "Quartet" evaluates the results and tries to decide how to proceed with peacemaking
 efforts     Comments – Mine  The hostile reaction of America & Europe to Hamas’s victory shows the hypocrisy of the west towards the so called democratization of the Muslim world. What they actually want is governments in Muslim countries which will be subservient to the west & follow its dictates.      The west to cover up its War on Terror (War on Muslims & Islam) is using the ruse of bringing freedom & democracy to the Muslim world.     The reaction also highlights that the protection & welfare of the Israel takes precedent over everything else (even above the welfare of their countrymen) for
 America & its allies.     AB  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  "For to us will be their return; then it will be for us to call them to account." (Holy Quran 88:25-26)

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} 
(Holy Quran-16:125)

{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
 
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] 

The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)  also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
