Islamic World: Al-Zawahiri Calls for Jihad to Help Hamas
Before anything else, please disregard the discussion of the "distrust" between Hamas and al-Qaeda in the link at the end of the article. It is the distrust of rival gangs competing over turf and the desire of Hamas to avoid America's wrath, not a matter of pursuing different objectives as the story implies. I almost searched for an alternate story because of it. But I do want to talk about the information in following short paragraphs:
"Those who are trying to liberate the Islamic territories through elections based on secular constitutions, or on decisions to hand over Palestine to the Jews, will not liberate one grain of sand of Palestine," he said."Any way other than holy war will lead us only to loss and defeat," he said."
Any way other than holy war will elad us only to loss and defeat.
That's because is a holy duty, the supreme spiritual exercise, whose automatic reward is paradise. Muslims of al-Zawahiri's stripe believe that deviating from Jihad is a moral failure, and they have reason to do so, because Muhammad said as much.
This is what we are up against.
