Israel and mosque burnings

With reference to Darul Aqsha's letter of Dec. 3, 1999, I observe that he points to zealots and crazed individuals.

The state of Israel -- the government -- is not involved in burning mosques. Israel is building a mosque in Bethlehem.

As to sacrilegious acts by the Myanmar government, Mr. Darul Aqsha prefers a profound silence.
