Hamas… Shattering of the image

Muharram 6, 1431 A.H, December 22, 2009

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Earlier, at the time of the two Shaikhs Yaseen and Rantisi, news from Palestine would come to us that “a rocket has been dropped on the occupied Sadirot and the Qassam Brigades take responsibility”, “a martyrdom operation in a cafe in Talabeeb and the Qassam takes responsibility”… but today, the news that reaches us is “the Qassam brigades has killed an unknown number of the Mujahideen of the Islamic jihad after surrounding the Ribat Masjid in the Zaitoon quarter of Gaza”^[1], “Qassam Brigades kills 10 amongst them children of those affiliated to the Jaish Al Islam allied with Al Qaeda in Gaza”^[2], “Qassam Brigades attacks the worshipers in the Ibn Taymiyyah Masjid allied with Al Qaeda with rockets and snipers resulting in 125 casualties between dead and injured”, “Qassam Brigades surrounds the house of the Knowledgeable Mujahid ShaikhDoctor Abdul Latif Aal Musa commonly known as Abu Noor Al Maqdisi, and destroys it completely upon those in it^[3], and then surrounds the area and stops the journalists from taking photos or getting anywhere near the place of incident”. The Hamas organization has behaved just like the governments of the neighboring countries in ousting its opposers, rivals and critics, rather it has exceeded and surpassed them.

The Overturning of the Picture

The Hamas organization struggled for a long time building for itself a strong, solid and vast reputation, and used for that the latest of propaganda, from the scientific and technical point of view^[4], to cut the way in front of its enemies and critics and rivals to have any effect on its journey, but it has now, with the operation of Masjid Ibn Taymiyyah, given its critics a sharp weapon to shatter its ideal image that had been hanging in the hearts of people for more than 20 years.

And soon the Hamas organization will gradually lose the account balance that it had created through its operations and media fame, and it was this balance upon which Hamas was leaning in order to make a move like the move of Masjid Ibn Taymiyyah and Shaikh Abdul Lateef Aal Musa. It also trusted in the power that trained the soldiers of Qassam Brigades and machinery that were made ready for the confrontation of the occupying forces and which have today been directed to confront the enemies of the occupation. Hamas also bent towards using the power that it inherited from Muhammad Dahlan in the decisive period, along with the police force that had been trained by the Egyptian intelligence, to be the police force of Gaza and it joined the executive forces and police of the Hamas movement after June 2007 and became a part of it.

The tension reflected itself on the picture when the administration of Hamas as a whole seemed hasty and eager to protect and justify her acts on the higher levels of the administration. At the same time when the members of al Qassam were surrounding the Masjid and its snipers were stationed on the top of the surrounding houses, Ismail Hanyah was denying from the Friday pulpit in the Masjid in which he gives sermons, the existence of any foreign Mujahideen or any members following al Qaeda or anyone with that ideology and that is what some sides considered the declaration of the plan to slaughter anyone with a connection to the global Jihad.

The comment of Hania came as a reply to the claims of a journalist of the occupation that tens of foreign fighters had sneaked to Gaza strip in the past years and that al Qaeda has become close to occupation in Gaza. Then it was revealed that from those killed in the Masjid of Ibn Taymiyyah was Abu Abd Allah al Muhajir (Syrian of nationality and former military field trainer in the Qassam brigades and the founder of Jund Ansarallah) and on the same day Ismail Hania appeared justifying that those who were there in the Masjid and the Sheikh apostatized his government and the Palestinian nation^[5]. However this is what was denounced by the methodology and operations and the sermon of the Sheikh Abu Noor al Maqdisi which caused him his life, when he was describing Hamas as two generations. The first generation was slaughtered “and Allah exalted them” and the second generation is the present one “who mixed up and so matters were mixed upon them” and they –the Hamas administration- “if they implemented the Islamic Shariah in Gaza then he would be their servant^[6]”

The operation of Masjid of Ibn Taymiyyah revealed to the general public outside Palestine-for the first time- that the jewel of the matter at its base is that Hamas is ‘not ruling by the Islamic Shariah^[7]’ and working under the pretext that it is trying to do that gradually. And the happenings also revealed that the victims of the group Ansar Jundallah included in their ranks, martyrdom operators belonging to the Qassam brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, at their head being, the son of the brother of Doctor Musa Abu Marzooq, the vice president of the political office of the Hamas movement^[8].

The happenings of Ibn Taymiyyah Masjid came in the sequence of a large and continuing campaign what is considered by Hamas as (Security breach) and its greatest components are considered the Jihadi Salafi methodology in Gaza and the followers of the global Jihadi movement under the leadership of Al Qaeda organization after the meeting in Egypt between the leaderships from Hamas and a British intelligence officer and the leaders of the National Security of Egypt with the Hamas procession being led by Mahmood Az Zahhar and the leader of Qassam who was not named by the media outlets^[9].

Those incidents that were performed by the Hamas organization were followed by a propaganda media campaign on the part of Hamas, for after the killing of the worshipers in Masjid Ibn Taymmiyah and their Shaikh Abu Noor al Maqdisi he was accused of being suffering from mental illness and methodological slips and that he was a Takfiriy, in order to justify what it did and imposing on Shaikh Abu Noor responsibility of several crimes happening in Gaza that take place from time to time, like the blasting of the internet cafes and targeting the christian schools and shameless mixed marriages^[10]. It accused him of being a follower of the security forces of Abu Mazin in RamaAllah^[11]and that is something the group was constantly denying. Some of the incidents that were included in the list of accusations of Hamas to the group actually happened before the founding of the group like the bombing in front of the house of the Hamas leader Marwan Abu Raas^[12].

The narrations of Hamas of the incident- adopted by the media outlets both supporters and opposers of Hamas- because the target this time had relation with global terrorismshowed, that it is suffering from the shattering of its image in front of the general Islamic opinion in the world, and that its reputation is close to becoming like the other former Jihadi leaderships and personalities that had earned respect in the Islamic world like the personality of the former Afghani Jihadi leader Abdur Rab Rasool Sayyaf who joined the American occupations and became a member of the parliament with Karzai in Afghanistan and his supporter.

And what Hamas fears most is the overturning of this image before the people in the Islamic world especially and become closer to the Islamic courts in Somalia who was surrounded and supported by the Islamic public and strove to support it and praised its project in Somalia, until it received the support of the European countries and America to train its forces and its leader Shaikh Sharif Ahmad exerted to call the Ethiopian forces once again to fight the Shabaab Mujahideen Movement allied to Al Qaeda rated amongst the world terrorist groups.

And the poll of Al Jazeera on its site showed that more than 42% do not support Hamas in what it did against the Jund Ansar Allah, and it is a ratio of more than 42 thousand participants from 87 thousand, so if 42 thousand participants are against after hearing the narration of Al Jazeera channel – through which only Hamas’ narration was shown and it is the violating side in the matter while the defense of the victim was not shown- assures that close to half of the participants denounced the action of Hamas, and do not believe the narration of Al Jazeera channel or what it showed through it. And the poll reveals that the pretexts and claims that Hamas is making on the group and on Shaikh Abdul Lateef were not accepted by the people of Gaza who lost their sons between dead and injured and arrested and unknown in the operation^[13], and because they know the reality about the Shiekh who lived amongst them and who used to hold classes on Sharia and knowledge and do charity and treat people and aid the Jihad and the Mujahideen. They also know the sons of the group and because most of them are former members of Qassam Brigades.

Moderation and Extremism

The incident of Masjid Ibn Taymiyyah in Rafah came at a time in which Hamas is stressing on calling itself a moderate and is declaring that itself and Al Qaeda are followers of two different methodologies, and most of the leaders of Hamas stress – especially those who come frequently on the media outlets – that they are not Al Qaeda and that they have no relation with terrorism and Muhammad Aby Taer- of the Parliament- wrote about the Hamas lobby in the Quds city in the American Newsweek paper after the victory of Hamas with majority in the election of 2006 “that we are not going to implement the Islamic Sharia, and we are not Al Qaeda organization. ^[14]”

And in spite of the claim of Hamas that the presence of Al Qaeda in Gaza has made the world its enemy, and Hamas is a compatible and peaceful organization that is moving according to the general guidelines of the international societies codes and laws, it was Hamas that was responsible for the extension of the siege on Gaza for more than 3 years and not Al Qaeda, and Gaza was burnt with the white phosphorous for 3 weeks between the years 2008 December end until mid January 2009 because of the 7 rockets fired by Hamas towards the occupation and not Al Qaeda or any group that are accused in Gaza or being its aide. The result of these rockets were more than 1300 martyrs and 7000 injured and a war that continued for more than 3 weeks during which the Jews burnt the people of Gaza with white phosphorous.

The idea of moderation and extremism were publicized by the American and Israeli intelligence in the last 10 years and were picked up by several Islamic movements to denounce the accusation of terrorism from itself after the declaration of Bush’s ideology in the national politics after nine eleven 2001, “Who is not with us is against us”

And the idea of extremism and terrorism was implemented “by the international law that is respected by Hamas” on the movement in the year 1994 after the Sharam As Shaikh conference that fights terrorism- and at that time the terrorism of Al Qaeda hadn’t been unleashed, instead the terrorism of Hamas- when it killed 40 Israelis in Tal Abeeb by exploding a bus in its station and the place was full of citizens.

The American and Zionist circles presented certain points with which it measured the moderation based on how much the movements accepted democracy and human rights in practicing his beliefs and personal lives and his will to change his religion and sex, and his acceptance of the tradition and standards of the West, and his acceptance that a woman should gain high positions in the state, and giving the minorities extra rights and equality between all religions^[15].

And the study specifies four points to differentiate between the moderates and the extremists.
First- Accepting democracy; Second- Accepting non religious sides to set up the rules; Third- Woman’s rights and minorities rights and Fourth- Renouncing terrorism and unauthorized violence (and in their classification the works of Muslims in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq are terrorism and occupation’s works are self defense)

And America measures the moderation level based on the answers to certain questions that are based on the methodology on which an individual and a group follow in their movements and economic and political programs? And does he believe in the methodology of International legitimacy and international and criminal rules and regulations recently proposed? And does he accept the freedom of religious choice and apostasy from the religion of Islam to enter another religion? And does he accept the rights of gays, and the illegal relations as a right from human rights and freedom of choice? And does he believe in the divine Islamic laws or will accept the laws by the majority of humans in a Democratic system? And does he accept the setting up of churches and other worship centers of non Muslims in the lands of Islam and offer their practicing their religious rites with freedom? And does he accept that those who rule him or those on high official posts be a non Muslim?^[16]

The politics of Condoleza Rice started in the Islamic world on the basis of this concept of moderates and extremists. and the elections of the Hamas movement in January 2006 carried assurances of moderateness according to the concepts spread by the organizations and study centers close to the decision makers in Europe and America like the Rand organization for the strategic studies funded by the American DoD and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the International Islamic Organization which is funded by the American Congress and the Carter organization for peace, the International patron of unofficial talks between the occupation and the Hamas movement.

The jest of the election statement -that is considered the new version of the Hamas convention- noted that it considers all the citizens equals before the law in spite of the difference in their religion and that democracy is the only choice, and that it rules up to the vote boxes and makes Islamic shariah the major source of its ruling and not the only source, and that the Palestinian blood is sacred^[17]. The Palestinians in Gaza elected Hamas because of their belief that the religious authorities are clear of corruption and will give greater attention to improve their living conditions.^[18]

And on the social and cultural implementation levels, Hamas declared that it will not close the pubs and bars or the hotels that practice them, and that it will not force Hijab instead it will seek a gradual change in the society by commanding good and not by forbidding evil. And it opened music schools for children and a mixed stage to encourage the talents of the stage and acting and it declared 20 million dollars for building the largest cinema city in the area on the beaches of Gaza.^[19]

And on the political level Hamas considered the manager of the Egyptian intelligence Omar Sulaiman a safe intermediary, for the case of arrangements and indirect talks with the Israel occupation, as an Arab intermediary and the former American President Jimmy Carter as an International intermediate along with the Russian foreign minister Lavrov who met Mishal recently in Damascus and declared after his meeting with Mishal that “Hamas has become more practical today”^[20]

The Roots and Transformation

Before reaching the stage of open clash between the “extremist” Islamic movements and the moderate Hamas movement, there was a difference between the leadership of Hamas, Dr. Rantesi and Khalid Mishal, when Rantisi cleared the meaning of liberation and negotiation, “Negotiation is a partition of land and not a liberation operation, for you are taking a piece of the land and you give the oppressor the remaining lands, but a liberation operation is that you only take and give in lieu of that from your blood and money but don’t give your land or rule’^[21] and between the saying of the head of the political office Khalid Mishal that “Hamas will support the solution of setting up of two nations on the boundaries of 1967”^[22]

And before the exciting and critical happenings of Masjid Ibn Taymiyyah, with all the anticipation of its future effect- not only on Hamas but on the whole pattern of the Islamic project relating to the picture of Hamas near most of the common Muslims- and on 13 March especially of 2009, a group not adhering to the methodology of Hamas, fired a set of rockets on the Israeli occupation. Hamas hastened to directly refute it, and reassured through its speaker Tahir An Nunu, that these rockets do not belong to the resistance culture^[23], and Usama Hamdan, the representative of Hamas in Lebanon and a member of the political office of the movement on BBC channel on the same day also declared that the rockets are “spoiling operation”^[24]

The group massacre that was performed by Hamas operation in Rafah- Gaza is nothing but a picture that brought on top after 9/11 the reality of the nub of the difference between the Ikhwani current and the Global jihadi current which was under the dust. It surfaced in the beginning with their stands of criminalizing the attacks on America, and criminalizing the doers, to the point of reaching the famous fatwa released by Dr Yusuf Al Qaradawi, in the importance of the participation of the the Muslim living in America and Europe in the campaign on Afghanistan- or on any country according to the quote of the fatwa- if called to it, so that he is not exposed to contradiction on his national loyalty, and so that he does not lose his job and salary, and his Muslim brothers in the world are not effected because of his non participation and the Muslims are accused of betraying their countries^[25]

And the fatwa of Dr Yusuf repeated, legalizing the American and Western rule in the area considering it a matter of agreements and contracts before the attack on Iraq^[26]and then after the American occupation entered Baghdad and Saddam’s regime fell, Dr Qaradawi gave Fatwa on the necessity of the joining of the Sunnah Muslims in the project of the occupation starting from the elections and participating in the government that was controlled by the occupation, and ending with the police and army and other armed bodies that are being trained by the American and British occupation there.^[27]

And the clash between the Ikhwan and the Global jihadi movement transferred from the methodological records to the armed grounds when the national leadership of the Ikhwan organization in Afghanistan, allied with the American occupation in the form of Abdur Rab Rasool Sayyaf and entered Kabul on the back of the American tank.

And the scene repeated in Iraq, when the leaders of Ikhwan in Iraq- most prominent amongst them, the Vice General instructor of the Ikhwan in Iraq, Dr Iyaad As Samrai, the leader of the current Iraqi parliament, and the former General Secretary of the Ikhwan Hajim Al Husni and both of them have dual nationality of both America and Britain- met in a meeting with the top official of the American intelligence in London, Zulmi Khaleel Zaad, with the attendance of the Shia and Kurdish leaderships to arrange the matters in Iraq after the fall of Saddam.^[28]

And the Ikhwan presided over the first Presidential meeting under the chairmanship of the American ruler Paul Brimer during the occupation and their involvement in all the political and security setups after that, and their setting up of the Awakening squads in Iraq^[29] that helped the American forces in getting rid of terrorism, and in the end the joining of the Ahl group that represented the Ikhwan in Somalia with Shaikh Sherif Ahmad allied with the NATO and the American leadership that called for the interference of the Ethiopian forces to face the Youth Mujahideen movement allied with Al Qaeda that is enlisted on the world terrorism list.^[30]

The scene seems quite mixed up when the follower looks at the situation in Palestine, and sees that there are huge differences still apparent through the behavior of Ikhwan in Palestine with the occupation compared to their counterparts in the other occupied lands lately as in Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia. In reality the Hamas movement was nothing but a mixture of the Salafi Jihadi Ikhwani and national currents inside Palestine, and the founder of the movement Shaikh Ahmad Yaseen did not belong, any day, to the Ikhwan Al Muslemeen movement^[31], and when the Israeli occupation forces started performing the political assassinations it targeted only majorly those who belonged to the Jihadi front leadership that was labeled as extreme, to pave the way for those who Bush called ‘thinkers in Hamas’ or the moderate current.

And the last to be killed of those called extremist in the Hamas movement was the martyrdom of Dr Nizar Rayan in the last war on Gaza, the greatest goals of which was to grant ‘the thinkers in Hamas’ great popularity in the Islamic world and to put an end to the Jihadi current inside Hamas that opposed negotiations , by killing the front military commanders and keeping the politicians for the coming negotiation phase.

Hamas in 1% only…

And in a telephone conversation between Khalid Mishal and the Egyptian intelligence official in 2007, Mishal was able to convince at last that Gaza will become an abode for terrorism and Global jihad pockets if it remained divided between Dahlan and Hamas, which threatens the Egyptian national security and will become an extension for it amidst the Bedouins of Sainaa^[32], so the first decisive battle resulted in the control of Hamas on the strip which does not exceed about 1% of the total Palestinian land, and forced Dahlan out of it and joined the police of Dahlan with its own police, executive and military departments under it to control the Gaza Strip.

The administration of Hamas increased its meetings with the American intelligence and Western diplomats and it met personalities that were close to the decision makers in America in the summer of 2005 in Beirut, Lebanon. And that was followed by open meetings with the most prominent decision maker in America and peace for Israel, Jimmy Carter, the maker of the Camp David pact 1979 and who said “who denies the nation of Israel opposes the will of God” and he was the first to declare the victory of Hamas with majority and fair elections.

There were other meetings hidden and some open in the past five years between the administration of Hamas like Dr Az Zahhar the foreign minister of Hamas with Swiss authorities that resulted in the Swiss contract that states the basing of two nations that live side by side in return of leaving weapons and stopping enmity. And other meetings with French ministers in Paris and shuttle visits to China and Russia by Az Zahhar and Khalid Mishal who noted in it that “the Chechen problem is a internal Russian problem which should not be interfered with” when the Chechen Mujahideen criticised him on shaking hands with the murderer of their children and women in a similar manner as that of Palestine.

The Hamas movement sent a message to Kofi Annan the General Secretary of the United Nations in the year 2007 asking for the setting up of a nation “side by side in the blessed land with Israel^[33]” and Zahhar mentioned to the American channel CBS “let us live in peace and we will stop the operations”^[34]

In all these acts by the authority of Hamas movement, it faced direct criticism and sometimes indirect from the commanders of the international jihad headed by Al Qaeda. The second man Dr Ayman az Zawahiri in Al Qaeda said that he was still instructing the Hamas movement, assuring his stand and support of the Mujahideen in Hamas^[35]and the picture was repeated with the leader of the Al Qaeda in Afghanistan Mustafa Abu Al Yazeed when he told that we support the ‘Mujahideen in Hamas’.^[36]

And calm criticism from the leaders of al Qaeda continued until the Hamas administrations signed the Makkah agreement through which a unified national government was formed in which Ismail Hania announced amongst its programs “respect of the agreements of the nation and pacts which the Palestinian authorities had weaved and to consider it the representative in the situation of negotiation”^[37]and the leaders of Hamas who had so long made statements of denial of Israel- their respect and dealing on the ground of reality with the leaderships of the occupation on the level of municipality in Gaza or on the higher level of the Legislative Department^[38]

After signing the contract of Mecca the tone of the leaders of the global jihad raised in level of criticism of the leaders of Hamas and the condolence came from the second man in the Al Qaeda organization Dr. Aiman Az Zawahiri, “in the leaders of Hamas and that it has followed the procession of Sadat” and then Shaikh Osama Bin Laden made his statement on the liberation of Palestine that he will “not respect the international contracts like the leaders of Hamas and some of the Ikhwan Al Muslimeen” and he described the leaders of Hamas as “having sold their religion for their world” and the he asked the sincere and Mujahideen in Hamas to declare their resignation from the leaders and their acquittal from it.

And the greatest criticism came at the tongue of Abu Omar Al Baghdadi the Amir of the Islamic State of Iraq^[39], who specified the points of the battle with the Ikhwan Al Muslimeen as a part of his battle and experience in Baghdad, and that it extends to other battle grounds in the world most prominent amongst them being Palestine, and he asked the sincere in Qassam to leave and set up a new base away from the leaderships of Hamas.

As a direct impact from these addresses other groups were formed by members who left Hamas and Qassam to set up independent brigades starting from Jaish Al Islam in Gaza 11 which included a large amount of former Qassam members, most prominent amongst them Sai’b Dugmesh, who used to work as a trainer in Qassam and Hamas killed him after he left it and joined the Jaish in mid Ramadan last year 1429H between 10 dead including a child. ^[40]

And then Fath Al Islam in Palestine formed, and performed several rocket operations on the occupation, and crowded festivals, and then Jaish al Ummah was formed that performed open trainings in Gaza and Hamas arrested its Amir, and then Jama’a Al Tawheed and Jihad, whose operations appeared strongly at the time of the assault on Gaza by blowing a military pocket, of the occupation that entered east of Khan Yunus, and Jund Ansar Allah was formed at the end of 2008 after Khalid Bant- Abu Abdullah Al Muhajir the military trainer of Qassam left it, who was a Syrian by nationality and from its rich men, and Hamas killed him amongst those in Masjid Ibn Taymiyah in mid August 2009 in a mysterious way that remains unrevealed until this very day.

And the slaughter of Jund Ansar Allah, along with Shaikh Abu Noor Al Maqdisi, Abdul Lateef Aal Musa came to declare that the Hamas Movement had ended the second decisive operation to face after it the aftermath of the operation that is expected to include assassinations and killing of the Hamas leaders inside Gaza in revenge for killing the leaders and scholars of the Salafi Jihadists at the hands of the Qassam Brigades.

And the battleground implications and proofs and ideologies assure that Al Qaeda organization or what is called the Global Jihadi movement has drawn close to Palestine and it is just in the neighborhood, and has succeeded in firing more than 10 rockets north of the occupied Palestine from south Lebanon during the assault on Gaza that was claimed by Shaheed Abdullah Azzam Brigades, Ziyad Jarrah unit (and he is one of the pilots in the 9/11 operation, of Lebanese origin).

And the most prominent man of Salafi Jihadists in the shadow of Bait Al Maqdis, Abu Muhammad Al Maqdisi^[41], has called all the Salafi Jihadi formations in all its forms to join under a single group and leadership and that is the leadership and group of Tawheed and Jihad brigades, which means that we will witness in the coming days the spread and power of the coin of the opposing front of Hamas movement in Gaza.
