Allah is its goal, the Prophet its model, the Quzan its Constitution, J
ihad its path and death for the case of Allah its most sublime belief.
Hamas regards Nationalism (Wataniyya) as part and parcel of the religious faith.
Nothing is loftier or deeper in Nationalism than waging Jihad against the enemy and confronting him when he sets foot on the land of the Muslims. And this becomes an individual duty binding
on every Muslim man and woman; a woman
must go out and fight the enemy even without her husband's authorization, and a slave without his masters' permission.
Peace initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem,
are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement. For renouncing any part of Palestine means renouncing part of the religion; the nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its faith, the movement educates its members to adhere to its principles and to raise the banner of Allah over their homeland as they fight their Jihad.
There is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad.
The initiatives, proposals and International Conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility. The Palestinian people are too noble to have their future, their right and their destiny submitted to a vain game.
As the Hadith has it:
"The people of Syria are Allah's whip on this land; He takes
revenge by their intermediary from whoever he wishes among his
worshippers. The Hypocrites among them are forbidden from
vanquishing the true believers, and they will die in anxiety and
sorrow." (Told by Tabarani, who is traceable in ascending order
of traditionaries to Muhammed, and by Ahmed whose chain of
transmission is incomplete. But it is bound to be a true hadith,
for both story tellers are reliable. Allah knows best.)
