Palestinian priest who praises suicide attacks vows to form team
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=30630
A Palestinian Christian leader who was sacked as his church's official spokesman continues to praise Muslim suicide bomb attacks and has lauded church members who are teaming with Muslims to form human shields to defend Iraq.
At a reception in Haifa, Israel, Greek Orthodox priest Father 'Atallah Hanna called for joint Islamic-Christian operations to interfere with the imminent U.S. attack on Iraq and liberate Palestine from "the [Mediterranean] sea to the [Jordan] river," according to Al-Quds Press Hamas' news agency.
Hanna, also known as Archimandrite Theodosios Hanna, was removed from his position as spokesman of the Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem after his praise of suicide attacks, but he continues to present himself as an official voice, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI, which translated his recent remarks.
Hanna said that when he is freed from house arrest and his passports are returned, he will put together a Christian delegation that will go to Iraq to serve as a human shield against the anticipated war, MEMRI said.
The priest recently offered his views on two other occasions – a sermon marking the Epiphany at a Greek Orthodox cathedral in Jerusalem and a rally at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem.
"We encourage our youth to participate in the resistance, to carry out martyrdom attacks, and to participate in removing the occupation," he said during his Sunday sermon.
"We do not believe in so-called 'peace with Israel' because peace cannot be made with Satan," he charged. "Israel is the greatest Satan."
