Caroline B. Glick writes in Townhall, with thanks to Mackie:
Hamas and al-Qaida share more than financial networks. They share the same ideological roots. Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaida is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.In his column in The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday, Daniel Pipes noted that in February, FBI Director Robert Mueller testified before the Senate's Intelligence Committee that Hamas's "US network is theoretically capable of facilitating acts of terrorism in the US." As well, a senior US counterterrorism official was quoted stating that Hamas is merging with elements of al-Qaida's "all inclusive military arm that will carry out military strikes" against the US.
So, a cursory glance at the wealth of documentation regarding Islamic terror organizations shows that Hamas and al-Qaida are linked financially, ideologically and operationally. This, at the same time as the know-it-alls from Washington to London to Riyadh insist that the Palestinian terror war against Israel has no connection to the global jihad being launched by the likes of "real" terrorists, such as Osama bin Laden and (Palestinian) Abu Musab Zarkawi...
Read it all.

I have what I believe to be a famous picture by now posted on my site - a hamas holding a Koran in one hand and a gun in the other.
Add that to the preachings of bin Laden - and what do we get?
Then again - a guess 'the wise men' of this world know better.

Beth, I didn't realize that was your site, I've had it in my favorites for a while now. Very good!

It is indeed a strange form of denial (the linkages between the various jihaddist movements, both ideologically and financially). Time was when American politicians and civil servants had no difficulty seeing the close connections between the various communist movements around the world and what their purpose was in maintaining these close connections in aid of global domination.

Thank you Carolyn.
Thank you.
It helps to know that your not alone in it - which can at times be very heavy to carry.
Thank you.

Aha! This looks like one of the articles I posted here last week. Now if we could just see articles like this on Slate. FrontPage and TownHall seem to be two of the biggest ones for trying to bring the message out to the public- aside from JW/DW and a few others, of course!
Beth, those links I listed for you yesterday, I felt would be good additions to your site. Maybe under 'Intolerance' or whichever link you felt best.

Oh Gary - I forgot to mention [feeling bad and all] that I vist those sites REGULARLY!
They among my favorites.
Jihad Watch is my favorite site of all.
None of them are putting it ALL together as Jihad watch does.
But those sites are just as important - because all of these sites are desporately needed!
ThanK you Gary!
And any time you find an article from any where - Please - keep me posted.
Also - share your point of view about them.
2 heads are always better than one

This article makes some absurd allegations based on pretty unreliable evidence. For example:
a senior US counterterrorism official was quoted stating that Hamas is merging with elements of al-Qaida's "all inclusive military arm that will carry out military strikes" against the US.
Why no quote? Who is this official? How senior is he? The sentence raises more questions than it answers.
Also in the article are plenty of misleading facts:
The terror attacks in Madrid in March 2004 brought about the fall of the pro-American Spanish government of Jose Maria Anzar.
True but it was Anzar's lying was what got him kicked out of office and not the terrorist attacks themselves. He was desperately trying to claim (by stating that the attacks were domestic when his own intelligence agency had said otherwise) that this attack was not in retaliation to his policy of assisting foreign invaders in order to curry favor with them.
Bush supporters were quick to condemn Spain's new leader, the leftist Jose Luis Zapatero, for his decision to immediately pull the Spanish military contingent out of Iraq to appease the terrorists who struck Madrid.
The Spanish people...actually the vast majority of decent people in the world overwhelmingly opposed this unjust war from the very beginning. Spain's withdrawal was only the democratic expression of the Spanish people who were demanding that Spain not be a collaborator of other nations imperialistic ambitions. It was Aznar who ignored his constituency and supported unpopular aggression.
Since the September 11 attacks, there has been continuous pressure exerted on the Bush administration from within and without to refuse to accept that the war against Israel has anything to do with the war against the US and the rest of the non-Islamist world.
Nonsense. UBL has repeatedly cited US support of Israel's brutal military occupation as one of his motives in attacking the US.
Similar errors of fact make this article completely unreliable in it's allegations and conclusions.

Actually Israel was #5 on UBL's list. LOL. First was the US troops on Saudi soil.
Brutal military occupation? I can't think of a less brutal miltary occupation in history, especially considering the unwillingness of the Pals to negotiate a just Peace and their unceasing use of terrorism.
The Pals were under military occupation from 1948 to 1967. And not by Israel, but by other Arab powers.
And they never offered the Pals autonomy much less a state of any kind.
Why is that Shukri?
Why does it take Israel to give them a state?
Military occupation is what happens when you fight, lose and refuse to make a peace treaty. Germany and Japan figured out how to end their military occupation.
Pals seem to be rather thick in that regard.

This is sooooooo not surprising.

Crusher asks why the Palestinians have to turn to the Israelis to give them a state.
Possibly because it's the only fully functional civil society in the region, and their Arab neighbours not only know it, they resent it bitterly.

That is not surprising as you undoubtedly have no clue about the state of the people under occupation.
especially considering the unwillingness of the Pals to negotiate a just Peace and their unceasing use of terrorism.
If someone stole your land and then continues to steal your land all the while asking for peace, what response should you give them?
The Pals were under military occupation from 1948 to 1967. And not by Israel, but by other Arab powers.
Which powers were these?
And they never offered the Pals autonomy much less a state of any kind.
The issue here is the Israeli military Occupation and Israel's continued ethnic cleansing policies in the Occupied Territories.
Military occupation is what happens when you fight, lose and refuse to make a peace treaty.
Military Occupation is when the invaders are unable to consolidate control due to brave patriots who defend their land.
