Is Hamas a terrorist group or, like Mad Caddie, do you believe that they are militants fighting for a "good cause. I have more respect for Hamas then I do for the IDS. Hamas, IMO, has good intentions and it's struggle is with reason."
Hamas - an outlawed terrorist group according to the UN, the EU and the United States. The Hamas Charter declares the goal of the terrorist group to be,
"to implement Allah's promise, whatever time that may take. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said: "The Day of Judgment will not come about until the Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them), until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: Oh Muslim! Oh Abdullah!, there is a Jew behind me, come on and kill him. Only the Gharqad tree would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews."
"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it."
Hamas has claimed responsibility for 425 terrorist attacks of various kinds, in which 377 men, women and children were murdered and 2,076 civilians and soldiers were wounded
Mad Caddie deems this cause to be a reasonable or justified.
