Islamic Extremists in Gaza

As part of the general anarchy in the Gaza Strip, a new phenomenon struck the streets.
A new group of Islamic radicalists are damaging businesses which they view as unislamic. The new group who is inspired by Al-Qaeda burned a cassette store. In another incident, the group damaged an internet cafe. The pamphlets which were hung by this new group which calls itself "The Sword of Islam" promise more actions.
Officials in the Palestinian Authority fear that religious attacks of this sort will continue and may even increase in frequency in the near future as Islamic radiclist groups abound in Gaza, feeding on the anarchy and despair.
