Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Muslim Brotherhood:
"The universality of the Islamic Resistance Movement:
Article Seven:
By way of the distribution of the Muslims who adopt the
system of the Islamic Resistance Movement in all parts of
the world, they work towards aiding it, accepting its stands
and amplifying its jihad. Therefore it is an international
movement and it is prepared for this (task) because of the
clarity of its ideology, lofty goal and the sanctity of its
objectives. [U]pon this basis it should be considered, given
a fair evaluation and admission of its role . . . The reward
is for those who are early." Charter of the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) in
Palestine,
According to law enforcement sources, activists who
support the HAMAS organization are raising "hundreds of
thousands of dollars in Muslim communities across America."
[35]
One organization which promotes the views of HAMAS is
the Islamic Association for Palestine in North America. The
IAP was founded in the United States in 1981 and is based in
Dallas, Texas.[36] It publishes several newspapers and
magazines: The Palestine Monitor, Al-Zaytuna (The Olive),
and lla Filastin (To Palestine), and distributes Filistin al-Muslimah (Palestine is Muslim).[37] Additionally, the IAP
has distributed the Charter of HAMAS and official HAMAS
intifada communiques issued from Gaza.[38]
HAMAS' attitude regarding Jews is paralleled in the
Islamic Association for Palestine's bi-monthly newspaper The
Palestine Monitor, which has featured anti-Semitic cartoons
reprinted from the Saudi press.[39] Articles in the
Palestine Monitor also highlight news items describing the
Islamic movement in different countries, such as Algeria,
Tunisia, Jordan and Egypt.
An example of the publication's usual fare depicted the
suffering of Palestinians under Israeli rule in a piece
entitled, "The Arrest, Detention and Physical Abuse of
Palestinian Children." [40] The article employed excerpts
from previously published reports by pro-PLO organizations
such as the the Palestine Human Rights Information Center in
Washington DC. The Palestine Monitor has also featured
articles reprinted from Al-Fajr, a pro-PLO newspaper printed
in East Jerusalem that is sympathetic to the Fatah faction
of the PLO, and the Washington Report on Middle East
Affairs, an anti-Israel monthly that has been tainted by
anti-Semitism, published by the American Educational Trust
in Washington, DC.
