Yassin: Hudna under aggression means surrender | |||
2003-11-04 | |||
Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, founder and spiritual leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has affirmed that no hudna (truce) with the Zionist enemy was feasible at the present stage. The Sheikh told Quds Press in a special interview that as long as the Zionist enemy persisted in aggression on the Palestinian people there would be no meaning for a hudna. He explained that granting a hudna to the enemy at present meant surrender.

#5 Remember the definition of "Hudna" folks: A strategic cessation of hostilities in order to rebuild strength for a renewed push. Mohammed put THAT spin on that word himself. For example, the pauses between the trench assaults in WW I were mini-hudnas. It is NOT a truce, but a temporary ceasefire. Thus, for Yassin to say "that no hudna (truce) with the Zionist enemy was feasible at the present stage." is him really saying, "The damn Joooos are on to what a Hudna is, so we can't pull the wool over their eyes again. Curse their moustaches!" Remember the old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." |

#4 I like that - "granting" a hudna to the JOOOOOOOS - like it means anything, and they're doing Israel a big favor. Mighty white of 'em. Kill more "sheiks", that's the ticket. |

#3 This is all easy for Yassin to talk about, as his ass isn't the one in immediate danger. I'd bet that if Yassin starts to experience a number of close calls like the previous one, he'd be singing a slightly different tune. |

#2 The Sheikh said that it was natural for Al-Qaeda to declare war on the USA as long as the latter had declared war on Al-Qaeda but said that his Movement would not join Al-Qaeda in its operations. Waitaminnit. Didn't binnie "declare war" against the US years before 9-11? |

#1 "favored males to launch such operations while females would be left as a reserve army" and to show a blind old cleric a little tender attention when the Med turns cold, eh? |
