2002-12-16 |
Hamas "Killing people is our ideology. It's our only ideology." "We have no other "We're really not the kind of people who do anything but kill other people, at least not anymore..." Yasin also ridiculed Israeli intelligence efforts to enlist Palestinians to work under the name of Al-Qaeda, saying these "suspicious efforts are exposed to the whole world." "Just because al-Qaeda says they're operating in Paleostine doesn't mean they actually are..." Yasin said the Palestinian struggle is noble and dignified because "we are fighting oppression and colonialism, we are freedom fighters, not terroristrs." Sheikh Yasin scoffed at Israeli allegations that Hamas was planing to supplant the Palestinian Authority. "Our priority is to get rid of this evil occupation," he said. "Then we can sieze power ourselves and subject the entire population to primitive Arabian customs gussied up as laws." |
