Muslim leaders attending the World Economic Forum1 in Davos, Switzerland, expressed qualified2 acceptance Thursday of Hamas' sweeping3 victory in the Palestinian elections.


Queen Rania of Jordan   
  
Hamas' landslide4 victory in the Palestinian elections has sparked concern on the part of U.S. and European governments, as well as in Israel, which Hamas claims has no right to exist.  But at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Queen Rania of Jordan, who is of Palestinian origin, offered a more cautious perspective on the Hamas victory.

"It remains5 to be seen how Hamas will step up to the plate now they're in a position of responsibility: Whether they will pursue a peaceful track and change their course or whether they will remain focused on the ideology6 they've propagated in the past," she said.
 
 
Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai 
  
That wait-and-see attitude was echoed by several other Muslim leaders. After all, Afghan President Hamid Karzai noted7, the Palestinians voted in democratic elections.

"If the people of Palestine have expressed their will by voting for Hamas, we should respect that will, and give Hamas [a chance] to prove itself while in government," he said.

Mr. Karzai also urged Hamas to have what he called "the courage" to treat Israel as a nation which has an equal right to exist as the Palestinians do. And he called on Israel to treat the Palestinians as a nation, and to try to live with them as well.


Pakistan's President Pervez Musharaff   
  
And Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf noted that previous politicians who had been considered warmongers8 by Muslims, notably9 Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon, had transformed themselves into peacemakers.

"Let's give Hamas a chance," Mr. Musharraf added.  "If Hamas was the organization obstructing10 peace previously11, they may be the organization to have the power to reach for peace also."

In Washington, President Bush said he will not deal with the Islamic militant12 group Hamas until it renounces13 violence.
