國際扶輪社長威罕•施當恆幾週前訪問了美國科羅拉多州的丹佛市，參與了四個地區扶輪基金週末會議。

President Carl-Wilhelm Stenhammar visited Denver, Colorado USA a few weeks ago to participate in a Quad-District Foundation Weekend.

他分享了在中國的國際扶輪運動（兩個臨時扶輪社將要被授證），扶輪於土耳其與塞普勒斯居間促成握手言和以及最近扶輪於古巴的進展。

He shared RI’s initiatives in China (two clubs to be chartered), the Rotary handshake between Turkey and Cypress and recent Rotary inroads in Cuba.

會議中提出一個有關巴勒斯坦的問題，而國際扶輪社長施當恆回答到我們（國際扶輪）現在也許在這些方面有些經驗並且…我們能夠有所進展。

A question came from the floor pertaining to Palestine and President Carl replied that we (RI) now have some experience in these areas and … perhaps we can make inroads.

下週末在那裡舉行的選舉，哈馬斯Hamas徹底打敗了法塔組織Fatah。

The following weekend elections took place there and Fatah was soundly trounced by Hamas.

我網路搜索哈馬斯託管地和在它哈馬斯本身的網頁上描述它自己為〝一個截然不同的巴勒斯坦運動…並且奮力鷹揚阿拉真主的聖旗於整個巴勒斯坦的上空。〞

I surfed the web to find the Hamas Mandate and in it Hamas describes itself as "a distinct Palestinian movement ... and strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine."

該憲章要求要從伊斯蘭神聖的土地上剷除以色列和猶太人並且譴責那些據稱是擁護猶太復國主義的組織像扶輪社與美生會。

The Charter calls for the elimination of Israel and Jews from Islamic holy land and condemnation of supposedly Zionist organizations like the Rotary Clubs and the Masons.

等一會兒！要譴責那些擁護猶太復國主義的組織像扶輪社嗎？我在哈馬斯託管地網頁上搜尋到一個詞句(扶輪世界)並聯帶搜出三個提及扶輪社與下面的一段話。

Wait a minute!  Condemns Zionist organizations like Rotary?  I did a word search in the Hamas Mandate (the word Rotary) and came up with three references to Rotary clubs and one follows below.

因此…各式各樣擁護猶太復國主義的組織有一部分以所有名字和樣式呈現的種類像似共濟會員、扶輪社，一群間諜和同類人，以作為他們的媒介他們的巧匠。所有他們都是破壞者和破壞…的巢穴。回教徒必須在面對那些破壞者的陰謀時要達成他們的責任。當伊斯蘭教重獲（回教）所引導的生活(方法)的領地時，它將要徹底摧毀那些組織，它是人道和伊斯蘭教的敵人。

Therefore … using as their intermediaries their craftsmen who are part of the various Zionist Organizations which take on all sorts of names and shapes such as: the Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, gangs of spies and the like. All of them are nests of saboteurs and sabotage … The Muslims must fulfill their duty in confronting the schemes of those saboteurs. When Islam will retake possession of (the means to) guide the life (of the Muslims), it will wipe out those organizations, which are the enemy of humanity and Islam.

在我看來扶輪為槍砲所瞄準中。

It seems to me that Rotary is in the gun sights.

註：哈馬斯Hamas另一個名字為伊斯蘭反抗運動
