Nemesis4you:I totally agree that we all have our opinions, but at the same time there are facts and fictions. Comparing HAMAS ideology vs Israeli conflicts with extremist like ISWAP, AQIM & Al-shabaab ideologies is quite different. Let me use ISWAP/BHT for example that I know of and have witnessed, even Muslims are not spared from the wrath of BH. When BH started it was about creating there our caliphate; But creating your own extremist caliphate thereby killing muslims and other religion is totally out of point. For me it's just totally madness and evil. Hamas vs Israeli forces is about ancestral home which has been for yours. Your comparison is ![]() |
Nemesis4you:The ongoing Hamas vs Israel conflicts is quite different from what's happening with Al-shabaab, AQIM, ISWAP, or other religious fighters in Africa ? The above bolded statement; ill quite disagree with your statement/presumptions. |
