I wonder what the Brits are going to do?

LONDON (JTA) -- A leading British Muslim reportedly has joined a call to attack those who prevent smuggling arms to Hamas in Gaza.

A report published in London claims that Dr. Daud Abdullah is one of about 90 Muslim leaders from around the world who signed a declaration in support of Hamas and military action against those who act to stop arms smuggling to Gaza.

Abdullah is deputy director-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, an umbrella organization representing about 400 mosques and organizations, and was one of the leaders of the organizations' boycott of the Holocaust Memorial Day.

This is why I am forced to take a stand. When the Muslim organizations, institutions, leaders, and individuals, constantly beat the drumbeat of boycotts and denials about the legitimacy of Jews, Zionism, and Israel, to score cheap political and other gains, for a cause they do little or nothing to promote--Arab Palestinian nationalism--it reflects badly for both their motives and religion.
