"If
the Jews left Palestine to us, would we start loving them? Of course not.
The Jews are infidels not because I say so but because Allah does... They
aren't our enemies because they occupy Palestine; they would be our
enemies even if they had not occupied anything." — Muhammad Hussein

the threshold of acquiring nuclear weapons. Once Iran and other Muslim
countries have this capability, they will have the military means to
blackmail their oil-rich neighbors, destroy Israel and threaten Europe.
Today Israel, tomorrow Spain, and then...? Left,
Hamas' 25th anniversary logo shows all of Israel colored in Hamas'

What makes negotiations with Iran, ISIS, Hamas or any other Islamist
group impossible is that their leaders believe they are acting according to
the immutable word of God. America, Israel, other Muslims with whom they

Egyptian cleric Muhammad Hussein Ya'qub said in a televised sermon in 2009,
"If the Jews left Palestine to us, would we start loving them? Of
course not. The Jews are infidels not because I say so but because Allah
does... They aren't our enemies because they occupy Palestine; they would
be our enemies even if they had not occupied anything."
Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and other terror groups do not
conceal their intentions. The Hamas covenant explicitly calls for
Israel's destruction and does not distinguish between Israelis and Jews:
