| Summary: | Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Global Muslim Brotherhood movement. Hamas emphasizes its nationalistic aspects and not just the Islamic ones. The Palestinian Abdullah Yusuf Azzam, Osama Bin Laden’s mentor, is the link between the global jihad organizations and Hamas. Global jihad organizations like ISIS or al-Q'aida represent opposite points of view to those of the Muslim Brotherhood. First and foremost, they are not nationalistic but Pan-Islamic Movements. Islamic organizations cannot be described by ideas such as nationalism, socialism or any other set of secular ideas. Understanding Islamic organizations means understanding their religious roots. This article presents the argument that even Hamas, usually described as a nationalistic movement, can be identified as a Global Jihad organization which combines nationalistic elements. |
