With ISIS coming to cleanse Pal’istan of the Hamas apostates, it was only a matter of time before bright orange flashes of light, loud explosions and red hot shrapnel flying through the air at supersonic speeds would happen.
Hamas has participated in elections. This is intrinsic to the sin that is absolute anathema in Islam:
shirk. It can mean polytheism, but effectively it means equating anything to God, or allowing anything to supercede God's law, which was given to Moslems in divine, unalterable perfection. Democracy falls under this rubric, by the way, since it elevates man to a position of making law, rather than following God's law on Earth (
Khilafah, a
Pax Islamica as it were). Democracy is Islam's greatest threat since it puts into man's hands the power that is reserved for God alone.
I've often wondered if Muhammad was afflicted with some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder in light of the fanatic zeal with which he pontificated regarding all the facets and minutiae of ones life, and how they were to be cast in the favorable light of the revealed word of God.
Hamas and ISIS hate Israel - and each other - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
ISIS, which stands for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, belongs to the Salafist branch within Islam that wants to re-create the Islamic caliphate and impose Sharia law throughout the region. ISIS views Hamas and its supporters as “apostates.”
That is, in part, because Hamas participated in Palestinian democratic elections in the West Bank and Gaza, and worked to improve relations with Egypt, with which ISIS has been at war since at least 2013.
