New Hamas Chief: Bush Is 'Enemy of God'
2004-03-28
The new leader of the militant group Hamas on Sunday called President Bush the enemy of Islam and said that "God declared war" against Bush, the United States and Israel.
Sounds like a threat to me...
In a speech at Gaza's Islamic University, Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantissi said he was not surprised that the United States vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution condemning Israel's assassination on Monday of Hamas spiritual leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin. "We knew that Bush is the enemy of God, the enemy of Islam and Muslims. America declared war against God. Sharon declared war against God and God declared war against America, Bush and Sharon," Rantisi said. "The war of God continues against them and I can see the victory coming up from the land of Palestine by the hand of Hamas."

Your ignorance is far more profound than anything you're posting here.

#18  "AS IF there were really a difference between Hamas, Hezbollah, Arafat's Fatah and Al Aqsa, Islamic Brotherhood, Islamic Jihad, etc., etc, yada yada yada... They're all killers and they're all Islamist terror masters who just wanna kill Jews (and Americans and Christians and even Shi'ite Muslims)! Israel is going to do what she must do to defend herself and we're going to be there for her, as we have been since 1947. Also since the founding of Israel, the Muslims want to wipe Israel off the map along with her people. It's still war and there will be no "peace talks," unless it's the "Palestinians" begging for mercy! Israel's won against these dirtbags 3 or more times and this time will be no exception!"

And your point is? You are obviously not reading many of my posts. Why don't you toddle off and take a gander at my post in the "Arafat Targeted by Israel" thread before you blather on anymore.

What moronic blather!

WTF???
And don't call our president "Shrub," you Molly Evil wannabe!
That's President Bush to you.
And he's no "enemy of God."

#15  Anyone else notice how quick Hamas was to clarify that they did not intend to launch attacks against the United States? If Hamas or Hizbollah were to so much as turn a single American hair on US soil, they'd be the sorriest lot of bastards you've ever seen. With his attempts to legislate discrimination into the constitution, Shrub may well be an enemy of God, but Rantissi might as well be the Devil himself.

I wouldn't bet a plugged nickel on Rantissi making it through this year alive. Funny how Hamas leadership is keeping such a low profile these days. At this point, I'd have to say that the Israelis are making significant progress against the Palestinian mass murder attacks. Aside from the one beach assault, there has been little in the way of prompt retaliation over Yassin's elimination.

There is another more significant undercurrent to all of this. Many analysts consider the liquidation of Yassin as an attempt to cripple Hamas' potential role in Gaza once Israel withdraws their soldiers from the Strip. While I'm sure that many Palestinians might not agree, it certainly seems to be in their own best interest that Hamas not obtain the usual death grip upon political processes amongst the refugees.

So long as Hamas has the ability to dictate the Palestinian mindset, more refugees will suffer or die. I think that they are beginning to realize this. Prime Minister Qorie is one of the few who is trying to make substantial progress in this situation. If Qorie's plea to end the violence is successful, the burden of responsible conduct will shift to the Israelis' side. This change of tempo would force Israel to undergo greater scrutiny and possibly represent a realistic starting point for renewed peace talks. Yassin's nonstop torrent of murderous rhetoric would never have permitted this to happen. Just maybe it will now that the Sheik has been vaporized so handily.

#14  With Rant-isi yelping his blowhard rhetoric, deep down he has to hope none of his morons takes him serious and initiates any sort of attack on the U.S. in the name of Hamas - they would be signing their own death warrant.

Bush is the enemy of God
Now the Islamonazis think they're God. I always knew they were delusional, but this is ridiculous.

#12  If "God declared war" against Bush, the United States and Israel, God sure isn't attacking very much. The extremist Muslims are hiding in caves, blowing themselves up, taking direct hits in the leadership, and mouthing off in the cross hairs. Meanwhile, Syria and Iran have an American occupation next door, and almost any fanatic or nutcase could cause an incident that would propel Bush higher in the polls and give the Middle East four more years of the house cleaning it so richly deserves.

#11  Bush and god have their disagreements, sure, like the Ed. Bill, the Perscrip drug bill, Fedral Airline screeners bill, McCain-Feingold- god was against allovum, but to say that makes them enemies of each other is streching it just a wee bit way too far. The implication being that god is some sort of unforgiving god, like that allah imposter; what with his revenge cycle, what you call it- that Geeehod sh!#. Now that just shows how mixed up this charlatan Pankeasi is. I think if god can forgive George W his "moderate" conservatism, then so can we, and vote for him come November just the same. Whaddaya say?
