Beer and Islam mix like oil and water But it's enough to make one stop and marvel at some of the more blatant ironies of the religion of peace. For instance, in those Islamic states where strict sharia law is imposed, drinking beer is considered a satanic activity which could cause otherwise good and dutiful Muslims to succomb to behaviors that could land them in the fires of hell, whereas blowing Jews to kingdom come is considered hunky dory. The only time the wisdom of sharia law might get dicey in this matter is if someone gets drunk and goes on a Jew-killing spree. Then, presumably, any imam worth his salt would advise members of his flock that, sure, okay, it's not a problem, knock yourself out, the more the better. Anyway, Sharia law in Hamasland isn't a done deal by any means, but conservative sentiments are running high and the astute beer entrepreneur saw what already happened in Gaza where alcohol wholesalers were burned or run out of business and the last bar was bombed on New Year's Day. In the Palestinian territories they tend to be a bit short on settling matters through the rule of law and long on explosions that get things settled more abruptly. Life is short and uncertain so there's no time to waste on cumbersome formalities. On the other hand, what other faith than the one that guides Hamas is able to promise virgins in heaven for mass murderers? One more amazing irony of the religion of peace. Greg Strange provides conservative commentary with plenty of acerbic wit on the people, politics, events and absurdities of our time.

Would be nice to talk to the owner or distributer of this beer. I have an unverified suspicion that his biggest concern is the Israeli occupation and the limitations this puts on his ability to reliably import, export and distribute supplies and the finished product.
