Jihad Yes, Kindness No

Visiting the Sheikh would be the sort of kind gesture that jihadis find useless since it would not advance jihad. That's also consistent with the Muslim states' tight-fistedness in helping to finance the Gaza reconstruction: They'd rather see rockets launched at Israel, the consequences to the Gazans be damned. Islam is neither peaceful nor humane.
