Gazans Rally Against France, Praise Islamic State
(Reuters) Nidal al-Mughrabi - Hamas allowed a rally on Monday by Salafi jihadists in Gaza in support of Islamic State and the deadly attacks by three Islamist gunmen in France. Demonstrators held aloft posters of the gunmen and burned French flags outside the French cultural center. "You have to await more heroes of Islam, you worshippers of the Cross," the crowd chanted. Islam "orders us to punish and kill those who assault and offend Islam's Prophet Mohammad," said Abu Abdallah al-Makdissi. Many of the activists wore uniforms similar to those of Islamic State fighters.
