"Just as Islamic Iran defends the rights of the Palestinians, we defend the rights of Islamic Iran. We are part of a united front against the enemies of Islam," Meshaal said during the visit.

Meshaal... Islam isn't failing to keep its word at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)! Islam is not going to be sent to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for maintaining a clandestine nuclear program that strongly resembles a nuclear weapons development program. Islam is not the Iranian government! Islam is not the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp! Islam is not the money that finances Hamas projects be they terrorist or otherwise.

Islam is a religion wholly separated from earthly materialism. The threats you perceive are earthly threats and target individuals, organizations and nations that commit violence in order to influence political destiny in their favor. It is by coincidence that your Muslim brothers, as individuals, members of organizations, or officials of state, find themselves the target of investigations into terrorist crimes. It is precisely because of their irresponsibility and repeated failures of leadership that they find themselves linked together in solidarity. These repeated failures of leadership are earthly failures and earthly failures always come with consequences. Islam has no enemies but incompetent officials do. If an incompetent official happens to be Muslim, so then they become enemies of peace and security. Indeed, the same nations that intend to hold Tehran responsible for its nuclear noncompliance at the IAEA protect freedom of religion and are therefore, friends of Islam.

Hamas’s democratic victory is an historic opportunity to exercise real leadership skills and develop tangible techniques of responsible governance. Looking for common cause with irresponsible governors in Iran and elsewhere will squander this opportunity. Make note Meshaal, opportunities this big are extremely rare.

LOL! LOL! Yes, they said the exact same thing about the NAZI party in pre war Germany.

Worked out really well. - 6 million dead Jews. 100 million+ dead. - Lets try again, and with a party that openly commits acts of the mass murder of Jewish women and children, and this time throw nukes into the equation.

Naive assessment
