Sheik Ahmed Yassin, spiritual leader of the militant Palestinian Hamas group, on Friday urged all Muslims on to attack Western interests the world over in the event of a US-led military campaign against Iraq.
Media reports quoted an open letter by Yassin, in which he wrote that Muslims must "threaten and strike Western interests and hit them everywhere" if the US does indeed strike in Iraq.
Hamas has carried out scores of terror attacks and suicide bombings against Israeli in the two years of violence between Israel and the Palestinians, also referred to as the Al Aksa Intifada.
Yassin spoke in an anti-US rally in Gaza City Friday noon, which pulled in some 1,500 worshippers, following Friday prayers there. The crowd called on the Iraqi people to imitate the actions of Palestinian suicide bombers.

It's time to relocate Yassin again.

"Muslims must "threaten and strike Western interests and hit them everywhere" if the US does indeed strike in Iraq."
And we will fight back and, you idiots, we will win.

With a call for "all Muslims" to attack, I guess it's not profiling anymore, we should feel free to consider "all Muslims" enemies. Tell me where I'm wrong...

The best way to ensure peace and end war is to kill the enemy.

Like they wouldn't be planning to attack us at any opportunity anyway. Big deal.

Then we must attack the West Bank and Gaza where the Hamas is quartered.
You think Israel will slow us down or help?

Then we must attack the West Bank and Gaza where the Hamas is quartered. We don't have to. I'd say let "the usual suspects", i.e., the Israelis do it. Just stop restraining them.
My phrasing was in deference to your screen name.
To: Kay Soze
If anything, we'll slow Israel down.
