Hamas is not trying to kill Jews in Europe or in the US. Do you think that is because their camels don't travel fast enough?

"there is little that is analogous between what AQ is doing and what Hamas is doing. OBL and AQ are religious fundamentalists" I beg to differ. Here's a quote from Hamas's late leader. "Make no mistake, there will be no peace as long as there is a Zionist-Jewish state. Our holy goal is to liberate all of Palestine, and if the Jews do not go, they will die. All of Palestine is Islamic land -- every inch." How is that the same as al Qaeda and OBL? tejek says, "Hamas are freedom fighters..........they are Islamic but that's not their primary motivation." Yassin said, "We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you." They want their land back.......the Zionists took it from them and now Hamas is fighting to get it back. How is that the same as OBL wanting a more conservative theocracy in SA? OBL doesn't want anyone to leave. He recognizes the legitimacy of the House of Saud.......he just doesn't like they way they are ruling. You say there is little analogous between AQ and Hamas, hmmmm I find that curious. Both enjoy mass murder, hmmm neither is interested in any sort of negotiations. Both enjoy very much to kill Jews... Of course, AQ had leg up with killing Americans, but who knows, there are jews in America and Hamas has hinted at chasing them down here. There is no question that they are both terrorists and that they both use terrorist tactics. However, each has very different motivations. To understand your enemy, you'd better understand his/her nuances and what motivates them. To do otherwise is asking for trouble.
