Abbas outdoes Hamas

Abbas' Morality Police Enforce Ramadan -Dalia Nammari

A new squad of morality police has begun detaining Palestinians in the West Bank who eat or drink in public during Ramadan.

The sudden deployment of Ramadan police was unexpected in Ramallah, the most cosmopolitan and well-to-do of the Palestinian cities.

Morality police Lt. Murad Qendah got a radio call telling him a suspect had been spotted in the street imbibing a soft drink. Police spokesman said police have arrested at least 50 alleged public morality offenders in Ramallah since the start of Ramadan.

Hamas has imposed no Ramadan patrol of its own in Gaza...
