Is It A Theocracy Yet?

Apparently, 10 of the members of the Hamas new governemnt, including Ismail Haneyeh, have worked as Imams in mosques. The rest have led Islamic institutions. (in Arabic)

Many are from An Najah University in Nablus and the Islamic University in Gaza. In the not so long ago days of secular nationalism, Birzeit University supplied the majority of leaders.

The minister of women's Affairs, Maryam Saleh, has a PhD in Islamic Shree'a from Umm al Quara University in Saudi Arabia.
