The Messenger of Allah said, "The Deen is advice: We asked to whom O Messenger of Allah? He replied: To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, the leaders of the Muslims and the Muslim masses."

It is quite clear from the election results that the Ummah wants the implementation of Islam and liberation from the American Raj. In the light of the Shari'ah rules, as derived from the Seerah of the Prophet, we understand that the implementation of the Islamic system is not possible through democracy. The bitter experience of the Islamic parties of Turkey and Algeria demonstrates the same point. Legislation in a democratic system requires a 51% majority, a condition which contradicts the Islamic ruling system. Making the acceptance by the majority of the people, or their representatives, a necessary condition for implementing the commandments of Allah and His Messenger is in reality snatching sovereignty from the hands of Allah and passing it on to man. However, Allah has not given man any right to make law.

The Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigades of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement claimed responsibility for the attack, in which a gunman cut through the security fence meant to shield the kibbutz from the adjacent West Bank. Within minutes, he had slipped into a nearby house, where he took point blank aim at two children sleeping in their beds, also killing the mother of the boys, Matan, 4, and Noam, 5.

Before making his escape into the darkness of the agricultural backyard of the village, he also gunned down a woman strolling nearby, and traded fire with and shot dead the secretary of the kibbutz, the communal village's most senior official.
