Michael Scheuer Quotes

Scheuer, Michael. Testimony. Extraordinary Rendition in U.S. Counterterrorism Policy: The Impact on Transatlantic Relations, Hearing Before the Subcommittee on International Organizations, Human Rights, and Oversight, and the Subcommittee on Europe of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Government Printing Office, 17 Apr. 2007.
Hamas became an extra legal armed force in each Arab country where they established an infrastructure. The governments usually did not want to take them on and bring Hammas under control. In Lebanon, Hamas became a major political force protected by the Syrian Army which had occupied Lebanon.
This quotation was very important because it demonstrated clearly that Hamas was not just a political party or a service organization, but was not only committed to violence and terrorism, but had more than political or territorial ambitions and objectives. Like other genocidal evil individuals and groups, an objective is to kill s particular people. What is even worse, is that this particular cleric / politician hijacks Islam—and claims that God wants the genocide to take place. This is vehemently denied by the vast majority of Muslims in the World.
