Jess Sadick has an interesting paper at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies: "The Globalization of Hamas Terrorism." In it he notes, as has been noted here, that Hamas has plans for America and Canada:
There is evidence that Hamas has discussed attacking targets in the US and Canada and has recruited foreign nationals who could be used to carry out such operations. US policymakers need to understand the threat posed by Hamas' emerging pan-Islamic interpretation of jihad and its perceived role in the global anti-American jihad. In the meantime, Hamas' rhetoric adds to the incitement fueling the jihadist movement worldwide, especially in encouraging young Muslims to go to fight US forces in Iraq.
The full report, which is fascinating, is at the FDD site as a pdf.
OT--Robert, you should read this Herald story via www.mypetjawa.blogspot.com . This woman converted to Islam a few years ago.
---THE Australian wife of jailed terror suspect Willie Brigitte emerged from a long-awaited prison meeting with her husband to declare her support for jihad. "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter," said Melanie Brown, quoting a slogan adopted by many supporters of extreme militant groups -- including al-Qaida. "I may get into trouble saying that . . . but I have heard it a lot, and I agree with it. "For Muslims, the jihad is compulsory. It is the struggle . . . the struggle for God."---
I think Brigitte's wife is just saying this stuff because she is scared, I could be wrong, but I know if I was her, I'd be singing to the police, and publicly making statements of how good a muslim I am.
Wouldn't you?
She went to France to be interrogated, but publicly it was to see her beloved husband, then she said she was divorcing him, only to quickly say, no after all, she was not divorcing him.
She's scared, in my opinion, and with good reason.
And as far as HAMAS, they don't wanna go there, and as long as Bush is president anyway.
A great recruiting tool for Hammas! Go against the GREAT SATAN!!!!! and lose!
