The extremist Islamic State group’s branch in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula has taken a simmering dispute with the Palestinian Hamas group based in nearby Gaza to new levels, releasing a 22-minute video in which it calls on its followers to attack the group and shows the execution of a man it said was a collaborator.

Analysts say the escalation has the potential to destabilize an already fragile security situation in Gaza, the Palestinian enclave that Hamas has controlled for the past decade.

Destabilize Gaza and the Sinai? That's a worry? Gaza and the Sinai will be stabilized when Israel invades, with conviction, from the north. Or Egypt from the West. Or both. Israel can clean up Gaza with an Egyptian anvil on the south while Egypt cleans up the Sinai with an Israeli anvil along the border. "Peacekeepers" in the Sinai can go to one of the beach resorts for the duration.

How dare you say that! Mohammad is truly the “perfect pattern of human behavior” Heck, he married a child of 6yrs old waited 3yrs & consummated the marriage at her age of puberty. Who cares how many wives he already has including allah’s watchful eye over his chosen one! Geeeeezers!
