That one was a gaff by the writer. Maybe "profiling" too much?
"Christian" Palestinians used to surface more frequently in news accounts of Palestinian acts of terror. Of course, my putting quote marks around Christian would seem to imply that the same thing be done around "Muslim" terrorists.
Within Palestinian society overall, however, the "movement" has been ideologized more completely along the lines of Muslim extremism. Hamas has been generously funded by Iran and serves as another Iranian proxy army in the region to go along with Hezbollah and the Shiite Mahdi Army in Iraq.
Hamas' main rival, the successors of Arafat's Fatah movement, are funded by Sunni governments and agencies.
There are no "Christian" governments or NGO's funding Palestinian "Christian" terrorism. Sirhan Sirhan was (is?) a nut. If anyone one was pulling his strings it would have certainly surfaced by now. But it is still inaccurate to call him a "Muslim" of any sort.
