Well I have to say this about Hamas as compared to the rest of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). They are honest about their intentions.
For Hamas to sign a Two-State peace agreement with Israel is out of the question. For Hamas it is Dar al-Islam or nothing. Mahmoud Abbas acting as President of the Palestine Authority and Chairman of the PLO publicly hints of a Two-State solution yet like his mentor Yasser Arafat speaks to his minions about the destruction of Israel.
So for Abbas managed operations utilize al-Taqiyya for the kafir (infidel) and Palestine or nothing for his minions. Abbas and various factions of the PLO are more secular minded (as far as a Mohammedan can go with secularism anyway) than the overtly Hamas which is connected to the aspiration of the Muslim Brotherhood and Wahahbi radicalism to re-awaken Mohammedan global supremacy as in the old medieval days.
The point being Hamas admits its brutality of using women and children as human shields to inflict guilt on Israeli self-defense and delude the West into believing Israel is a voracious murderer of civilians. This is how Hamas (a radical member of the religion of peace) justice its means in an attempt to end Israel’s existence.
I wonder what Mo would have thought of Hamas using a Western concept known as Machiavellianism which promulgates the ends justifies the means. Actually Mo would probably pat Hamas on the back for modifying a Western concept to execute brutality upon the kafir.
Western civilians and Lefties in particular need to understand that a new “paradigm” needs to exist in the fight of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). The Western thought of the rules of engagement are far different than the Islamic thought.
Western thought is to wage war if possible with the least possible collateral damage to civilians. In Western history, the nations that warred with disregard to the collateral damage of civilians had their political and military leaders prosecuted for War Crimes when they lost.
Islamic thought is to wage war with the full inclusion of the civilian populace as the army of Allah and Mohammed. The civilian populace may not be trained militarily or even wish to be involved in the actual fighting; however their deaths are considered glorious for Allah and not at all as collateral damage.
This is why on September 1, 2001 after radical Islamic terrorists crashed jets into buildings murdering thousands of Americans, a media pan of Islamic Arab and Iranian conclaves saw Muslims dancing in the streets shooting weapons in the air like fire works in celebration. This was particularly the case among Arabs that call themselves Palestinian.
As Alan Dershowitz points out, radical Islamists (and increasingly Middle Eastern Muslims in general) are death oriented and Western Culture is life oriented.
The U.S. Military and America’s coalition of the willing must change their rules of engagement to match the enemy’s ruthlessness. This way the false accusations of the Leftist media of massacres such as never happened in Haditha, Iraq cannot disrupt America’s goal of eradicating radical Islamist vermin in the GWOT. It will not be a case of striking fear in Middle Easterners, it will be a case that Middle Easterners will understand and America will derive respect as an opponent. Thus Middle Easterners that do not appreciate horrid measures of radical Islamists murdering their own as punishment will move from respect to believing that America is a friend and not a foe. In essence this is why The Surge has brought on an Iraqi Awakening and Iraqis are ejecting their support for al Qaeda Iraq (AQI) and aiding the American military and the new Iraqi Government in defeating AQI.
Act For America has sent an email excerpt of Dershowitz’s The Wall Street Journal article entitled, “Worshipper’s of Death.” Dershowitz writes of this paradigm of death among Middle Eastern Muslims. Dershowitz eloquently demonstrates Islam’s culture of death. (Unfortunately Act For American did not provide WSJ link for me to cite so you will have to go SlantRight.com at the end of this post to read Dershowitz’s article which I am referring to or wade through a WSJ search.)
