Hamas condemns killing of "holy warrior" bin Laden

[^_^ 5,021]

GAZA (Reuters) - The Palestinian Islamist group Hamas on Monday condemned the killing by U.S. forces of Osama bin Laden and mourned him as an "Arab holy warrior."

"We regard this as a continuation of the American policy based on oppression and the shedding of Muslim and Arab blood," Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas administration in the Gaza Strip, told reporters.

Though he noted doctrinal differences between bin Laden's al Qaeda and Hamas, Haniyeh said: "We condemn the assassination and the killing of an Arab holy warrior. We ask God to offer him mercy with the true believers and the martyrs."

Of course they condemn it. Why wouldn't one terrorist organization condemn the killing of a leader of another?!?!?

Water is wet, the sky is blue, Hamas condemns killing of OBL. If anyone is surprised by the latter, they should also be surprised about the former.

If ANYONE would call him a holy warrior, than they have no religion and know no mercy. He killed almost 3000 souls..so to anyone who said that, SHAME ON YOU!

I think this only confirms that Hamas is a terrorist group. You'd think they would hold their tongue since they are trying to appear as a legitimate government again.

Soviet war in Afghanistan

The US was attacked on it's soil two times ( Pearl harbor ) and ( 911 attacks ) and both of them were a result of it's intervention in everybody's business

Had the US troops stayed in the US, none of these attacks would've ever happened

There was a time when embargoes were seen as a way around war, not an act of war itself. It might be good to remember this.

All I did, was provide you a link, to a Wiki article.

I thought it might help answer your question.

Why did you quote me in your post?

I ask, 'cause, I don't see a connection, your post and mine.

and, I don't like or agree with what you wrote. and now you've gone and kinda associated me with what you wrote, and I feel slightly frustrated now.

So, Please. Please. Don't ever connect me to any of your future posts!

I will earn a bad reputation all by myself and don't need your help!
