Dear Seyed,
 
Hamas are a terrorist organisation. Why are you propagating their murderous message? Who does this address -  "slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out;"? Please be specific.
 
I might remind you that Hamas is one of the groups banned by the UK Terrorism Act 2000. You may be risking prosecution under Section 12  of the Act by propagating this call to arms by a proscribed terrorist organisation.

Subject: Appeal from Sheikh Ahmed Yassin Founder of "Hamas"- Palistine



Greetings,

There are always in an story more than one interpretation and voice. However, and despite this intellectual note, there is just one reality, which is beyond  dispute and that is when the blood of a human spills on the street of any city.  But, even this could be open to dispute and disagreement.  What could not be beyond any dispute and discussion is when the blood is shed but there is no 'accountability' or even 'sense of being accountable'.  When this happens reagrdless of where the blood is shed it is something which should call all our attention to it. Becasue it says something deep about how our collective humanity is perceiving itself and what level of humanity we are 'in'. Below you find a call by Sheikh A. Yassin:


Appeal from Sheikh Ahmed Yassin Founder of "Hamas"- Palistine

Date: Wed, 03 Apr 2002 17:17:54 +0000

In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful

Our Arab and Islamic Ummah:
Your brothers in the land of Ribat are currently the victims of the most
hideous campaign of annihilation in contemporary history of Palestine. The
Zionist murderous gangs are storming Palestinian cities in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip killing innocents, even children, and destroying and besieging
while preventing medical assistance to scores of wounded who are left to
bleed to death.
We affirm that in spite of the grisly campaign our people will not kneel
down and will bravely confront the attackers with the help of Allah.
Moreover, our resistance factions will chase that malicious enemy in all
areas of Palestine in accordance with almighty Allah's Words: "And slay them
wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you
out;"
We appeal to the gallantry, belief and fraternity in you to take to the
streets in all of our Arab and Islamic capitals and cities to express your
solidarity with our people and to reflect your rejection of that brutal
aggression.
And it is a Jihad until either victory or martyrdom
Your brother
Sheikh Ahmed Yassin
Founder of the Islamic Resistance Movement-Hamas
