[Jerusalem Post] Khaled Abu Toameh - Fatah officials in Ramallah claimed over the weekend that Professor Sana al-Sayegh, the dean of the science and technology faculty at Palestine University in Gaza City and a member of the tiny Christian minority in Gaza, was kidnapped by Hamas militiamen who forced her to convert to Islam against her will. "She was kidnapped and held for two weeks during which time she was not allowed to contact her family," Fatah officials said. Two weeks later the family was summoned to a meeting with some of Hamas Prime Minister Haniyeh's aides, who were accompanied by Sayegh. The family was told that she had converted to Islam and married a Muslim man. When her stunned mother asked her if this was true, she nodded her head, murmuring: "Yes, God has guided me through the right path."
