It is hard to keep three Pit Bulls from Fighting!

Clay & Iron are fighting now, because they have never been able to hold together in peace among themselves very long since the great Caliphate, which came out of conquest after Muhammad’s death, but God will soon put it in their minds to hold together for a brief period prior to Armageddon.
Daniel 2:42,43 – And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
Revelation 17:12-14,17 – And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
[14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
[17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
The two articles which follow demonstrate the principle of Islamic groups not holding together very long without pulling apart, like clay and iron will only hold together while the clay is moist. This is reflected in the number of splinter terrorist groups that have pulled off Fatah.
But God will eventually pull them all together long enough to hold together until Armageddon.

Fatah rejects Hamas’ overtures
By Haaretz Staff and Agencies
June 20, 2007
Fatah flatly rejected a Hamas overture for dialogue yesterday, and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas banned all contacts with the Islamic group.
Mohammed Dahlan, Abbas’s national security adviser and Hamas’s arch-nemesis, branded the Islamists an “occupation force” in Gaza, the phrase commonly used to denounce Israel.
“It is surprising that while they [Fatah leaders] are for holding a dialogue with the Zionists, they reject dialogue with us,” Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri said yesterday.
Hamas also rejected Abbas’s decree outlawing the group’s Executive Force and said the real Palestinian government was still headed by Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas. That force, along with Hamas’ military wing, spearheaded the group’s violent takeover of Gaza last week.
“Hamas rejects the decision by Abu Mazen [Abbas] to outlaw the Executive Force, because his decision contradicts the law,” senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Haya said.
“The current government of national unity is the legitimate caretaker government, and we do not recognize the emergency government.”
Nevertheless, Haya told reporters in Gaza that the Islamist group was ready to hold talks with Abbas’s Fatah faction to try to find common ground.
But the Fatah Central Committee said in a statement that it “decided today not to hold any dialogue, any contacts or any meetings with the Hamas movement.” And a senior Wes tern diplomat said Abbas’s office also made it clear that it does not want the international community to have “any contact or provide any legitimacy to Hamas in Gaza,” except to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance. While the flow of water and power will not be affected, he added, Gaza will face severe restrictions, including a freeze on exports, while Hamas is in power.
Abbas’ aides said the emergency government believed it had a responsibility to pay any workers in Gaza, including members of the security services, who follow the new government’s orders rather than those of the Hamas administration.
“But it’s unclear how they would make that distinction,” the diplomat said.
Abbas might use Arab funds, rather than tax money transferred by Israel, to pay the Gaza workers.
A European Union aid program also plans to continue paying monthly “allowances” – approximately $360 each – directly to the PA’s non-security work force, including those in Hamas-controlled Gaza, EU officials said.
But an Israeli official said Israel wants to scale back the European program to pay allowances only to workers in Gaza’s health sector, to ensure hospitals keep functioning.
Israeli officials said that up to $400 million in Palestinian tax revenues will be transferred to Abbas’s emergency government in stages.
This is less than the $700 million sought by Abbas, but Israel says the rest of the money has been frozen by court order.
Majdi al-Khalidi, an adviser in Abbas’s office, told Western diplomats that the emergency government put in place by the PA chairman could remain for a period of two months.

DEBKAfile Exclusive: Al Qaeda orders chief of its Palestinian wing not to free BBC reporter Alan Johnston or negotiate release of Israeli soldier Gilead Shalit
June 19, 2007, 11:43 PM (GMT+02:00)
The order appeared in an official al Qaeda Web site early Tuesday, June 19. It explains why Army of Islam leader Mumtaz Durmush is holding onto the British captive at
the risk of a clash with the 500 Hamas Executive Force surrounding his compound in Gaza City. Although Britain maintains no official ties with Hamas, the MI5 domestic intelligence chief asked the Palestinian Islamists to refrain from releasing Johnston by force for fear of his life.
In its statement, al Qaeda asks: Why is Hamas suddenly working for Johnston’s release when in Iraq and other places he would be executed? And how dare Hamas monopolize the Israeli Gilead Shalit and negotiate a deal with Israel?
DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources report that the communiqué accuses Hamas of cutting its partners in the kidnap, a reference to Durmush and his Army of Islam, out of the picture.
Al Qaeda’s statement and its order to the group’s Palestinian minion makes the situation of the British and Israeli captives worse than before and brings it out in the open. Both governments have refused to admit that the group which seized Johnston 100 days ago in Gaza and has been one of Shalit’s captors for a year now is a branch of al Qaeda. Now that Osama bin Laden’s organization has published its involvement first time and given Durmush space for a long interview, denial is no longer be an option.
