Yet another boil.....

Yet, another disgrace in the name of Islam and muslims. When will these people realize that this is wrong. Now it's going to be a while before a state is restored in Gaza. Almost similar to the coming of power by the taliban. This only brings misery to the ordinary people but may be Hamas and other millitant groups can enjoy their 'success'.

As Islamist gunmen mopped up his routed forces in Gaza, Western-backed President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed the Palestinian government on Thursday and declared a state of emergency after six days of bloody faction fighting.
But as the United States rallied support for Abbas, Hamas fighters stormed remaining strongholds of his secular Fatah group in the Gaza Strip, leaving the presidential compound the last bastion of Abbas's authority in the enclave.
The violence has ripped apart Palestinian hopes for a state.
Hamas said Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, of Hamas, would ignore his dismissal decreed by Abbas in the West Bank. Jubilant Hamas men hunted down Fatah loyalists in Gaza, killing some and parading one top militant's mutilated body through the streets.
Abbas said in a statement he was "declaring a state of emergency in all the lands of the Palestinian Authority because of the criminal war in the Gaza Strip ... and military coup."
Medics said at least another 30 people were killed during the day, taking the death toll since Saturday to over 110 in a civil war that has ripped apart Palestinians' hopes for a state and leaves an aggressive Islamist entity on Israel's borders.
Abbas, the successor to the late Yasser Arafat who embraced negotiation with Israel to try to found a Palestinian state in Gaza and the West Bank, said he would form an emergency cabinet to rule by decree and held out the prospect of early elections.
But gun law not the constitution held sway in Gaza.
Gunmen hoisted green Islamist flags over Fatah buildings and pounded a Abbas' Gaza compound with heavy weaponry.
The White House accused them of "acts of terror" and U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called Abbas to emphasize support for Palestinian "moderates" but admitted that finding troops for any international force for Gaza would be tough.
Some of Gaza's impoverished 1.5 million people view with trepidation the success of religious rulers set on defying a crippling Israeli and Western embargo on the Strip. But Hamas, which enjoys support from Iran and Syria, has many supporters.
Rice's spokesman said she had "underlined U.S. support for President Abbas, for Palestinian moderates who made the commitment to working with the Israeli government, working with others around the world on the issue of peace."
Analysts believe that could signal an easing of year-old anti-Hamas sanctions on the West Bank to bolster Abbas.
PRISONERS
Casualty figures are unclear, as was the fate of Fatah fighters seen led away, bare-chested, after surrendering. There were unconfirmed reports of prisoners being shot.
A Fatah official in Gaza said he had seen eight colleagues gunned down while he escaped death "by a miracle."
Hamas's armed wing issued a statement saying it had "executed" Samih al-Madhoun of Fatah's al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a close ally of Abbas's top security aide Mohammad Dahlan. His body was later dragged through a Gaza refugee camp.
For Hamas fighters, some in camouflage uniforms, the fall of the security headquarters was a cause for celebration. They fired gunshots in the air to seal their victory and handed out chocolates to local people in the coastal enclave.
"Allahu akbar!" (God is Greatest) one chanted through a megaphone from the roof of the beachfront headquarters of Fatah's intelligence service, captured later in the day.
Others paraded in the streets and showed off weaponry seized from Fatah, whose forces the United States has helped train and arm in a bid to counter the rise of Hamas -- to little effect.
Diplomats told Reuters that an aide to Abbas had admitted that hundreds of Fatah's men ran from the battle or ran out of bullets during the fighting. Those in Abbas's own presidential compound in Gaza were among the few still holding out.
The Islamist group said it had also swept control of other Fatah strongholds across Gaza. Pro-Fatah broadcasts went off the air and the Voice of Palestine radio station was set ablaze.
Some Fatah gunmen retaliated against Hamas in the West Bank, shooting and wounding a Hamas man near Ramallah, seizing Hamas supporters in the towns of Jenin and in Nablus, where they also stormed a Hamas office and hurled its computers out the window.
Even businesses owned by Hamas supporters were targeted by angry crowds in the territory occupied by Israel, where some 2.5 million Palestinians live, in the hills around Jerusalem.
Hamas won a parliamentary election last year, triggering Western sanctions on the whole of the Palestinian Authority.

BALI, Indonesia - Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, hosted an unusual gathering Tuesday of religious leaders and victims of terrorist attacks who denounced
Iran' 's president for claiming the Holocaust was a myth.
The daylong conference on the resort island of Bali brought together Indonesia's former President Abdurraham Wahid, Hindu spiritual head Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Buddhist teachers, a Jesuit priest and even rabbis — rare in a country that does not recognize
Israel or the Jewish religion.
One of the goals was to discuss ways to end the growing polarization between faiths since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States. Another was to counter a December conference hosted by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that tried to cast doubt on the killing of an estimated 6 million Jews during World War II.
Wahid, who led Indonesia from 1999 to 2001 and remains a highly respected moderate Muslim leader, said it was important that people have the courage to speak the truth.
"Although I'm a good friend of Ahmadinejad, I have to say that he is wrong," he said. "I visited Auschwitz's Museum of Holocaust and I saw many shoes of dead people. Because of this, I believe the Holocaust happened."
A Jewish survivor of the Nazi genocide made an impassioned plea for tolerance.
"I hope people will learn from the past," said Sol Teichman, 79, who was a teenager living in Czechoslovakia when his city was occupied first by the Hungarian army and then the Germans. "We should try to improve life instead of destroying it."
The conference was sponsored by the Libforall Foundation, a U.S.-based organization that seeks to counter Muslim extremism in the Islamic world by supporting religious moderates, and the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Museum of Tolerance.
"Why are the Jews so concerned about the Holocaust? Well one-third of our people were killed and only within six to seven years," said Rabbi Daniel Landes, who teaches theology in Jerusalem.
"That abhors us not only as Jews, it's abhorrent to us as members of humanity," he said. "If it can happen once to a group of people, it can happen to everyone."
Security was tight at the five-star hotel that hosted the discreetly organized event.
Indonesia's government is secular and most of its 190 million Muslims are moderate, but a vocal militant fringe has grown louder in recent years. Al-Qaida-linked terrorists have twice attacked Bali — a mostly Hindu enclave — killing more than 220 people.
"It has been difficult for me to excuse in my heart those who committed this act," said Tumini, a Balinese woman who suffered severe burns over her body during a nightclub blast on the island in 2002.
She said she still has not recovered emotionally, physically or financially.
Holocaust survivor Teichman, speaking publicly for the first time in a predominantly Muslim nation, said Ahmadinejad's questioning of the Holocaust made him want to "push a little harder" to talk to Islamic leaders.
"I ask only one question," said Teichman, who was sent to Auschwitz, Dachau, and three other concentration camps before allied forces liberated him in 1945.
"If that is a lie, can you tell me what happened to my mother? To my sister? To my brothers? To my grandparents?"
