The ultimate goal of the Hamas movement is to establish Islam
worldwide, Hamas minister Fathi Hammad declared during a recent public
address in Gaza.
“We shall liberate our land, Allah willing. We shall liberate our
Al-Aqsa Mosque, and our cities and villages, as a prelude to the
establishment of the future Islamic Caliphate. Therefore, brothers and
sisters, we are at the threshold of a global Islamic civilization era,”
Hammad proclaimed.
“The fuel and spearhead of this era will be Gaza, and its mujahideen and leaders will be from Gaza, Allah willing,” he added.
He then appealed to Fatah, which heads the Palestinian Authority in Judea and Samaria, to stop negotiating with Israel.
“We just sit and talk to the Jews. Enough with that! Come join us,
the legions of the believers, which have translated the Koran into
victory, the law of the Prophet's ancestors into glory, and Jihad into
liberation,” he urged.
“We shall be coming with a third Intifada, an armed revolution, a
Jihadi revolution, Allah willing,"
Hammad continued, adding that "Gaza
and the West Bank will fuse together, along with our brothers within the
1948 borders, in a second Battle of Hattin, in order to uproot the
Jews,” referencing the defeat of Christian Crusader forces by Saladin's
Muslim army in 1187.
Other sources quoted Hammad as warning that Hamas will fire any
member of its armed forces, including the Gaza police, who does not take
part in morning prayers.
Hammad, Hamas’ Minister of the Interior, is known to support the institution of Islamic law (Sharia) in Gaza.
So that's Hamas, they don't want any Israel based on the 1948 ceasefire lines, they want an end to a Jewish state and they want that for Islamic reasons. They also are trying to institute an Islamic theocracy but that won't stop idiots in the West continuing to support Hamas, because anything is preferable to a Jewish state.
