'Hamas forced professor to convert'
"Fatah officials in Ramallah claimed over the weekend that Professor Sana al-Sayegh, who teaches at Palestine University in Gaza City, was kidnapped by Hamas militiamen who forced her to convert to Islam against her will.
The officials said the president of the university, Dr. Zaher Khail, had assisted Hamas in kidnapping the professor.
They added that senior officials in the office of Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh played a major role in forcing her to convert to Islam......"

Judging from the last name, the professor is from my extended family in Gaza. I am aware of at least two first cousins of mine who married Muslims, of their own free will. So, it is not all that unusual for a Christian to marry a Muslim.
It is absurd and laughable for the stupid Fatah officials in Ramallah to suggest that Hamas would "kidnap" and "force convert" a prominent university professor, nonetheless.
According to the article, "Sayegh is the dean of the Science and Technology Faculty at Palestine University. She has represented the university at numerous conferences around the world over the past few years and is considered one of the most prominent experts in her field." You don't force people of that caliber to change their beliefs.
I find it despicable that Fatah (at least a faction within) is now a partner with Israel in spreading more sectarianism, division and hate. They will not rest until they spread the Iraq model to the rest of the Middle East.
