All Muslims Are Not With Hamas
Muslims and Hamas
Hamas is a Palestinian Sunni-Islamist fundamentalist military organization and political party that has ruled Gaza since 2007. It is considered a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, and Israel. Hamas is known for its militant tactics, including suicide bombings and rocket attacks against Israeli civilians.
Hamas has a long history of conflict with Israel. The group was founded in 1987 during the First Intifada, a Palestinian uprising against Israeli rule. Hamas quickly gained popularity due to its militant stance and its social welfare programs. In 2006, Hamas won a majority of seats in the Palestinian Legislative Council. The following year, Hamas seized control of Gaza from the Fatah party, which had ruled the territory since 1994.
Since then, Hamas has fought three wars with Israel. The most recent war, in 2014, resulted in the deaths of over 2,000 Palestinians and over 70 Israelis. The war also caused widespread damage to Gaza's infrastructure.
Hamas is a controversial organization. It is supported by many Palestinians, who see it as a legitimate resistance movement against Israeli occupation. However, Hamas is also criticized for its human rights abuses, including its use of torture and arbitrary detention. Hamas is also accused of corruption and mismanagement of Gaza's economy.
It is important to note that not all Muslims agree with Hamas's tactics or ideology. Many Muslims believe that Hamas is a terrorist organization that harms innocent people. They also believe that Hamas's focus on violence undermines the Palestinian cause.
A 2017 poll by the Pew Research Center found that only 27% of Muslims in the Middle East and North Africa have a favorable view of Hamas. The poll also found that only 14% of Muslims in the United States have a favorable view of Hamas.
These polls suggest that the majority of Muslims do not agree with Hamas's militant tactics or ideology. However, it is important to note that there is a significant minority of Muslims who do support Hamas. This minority is often vocal and well-organized, which can give the impression that all Muslims support Hamas when this is not the case.
