Hamas: Sharon has opened the gates of hell (United States could be a target)
Haaretz ^ | 22/03/2004 10:47 | Arnon Regular, Haaretz Correspondent, News Agencies and Haaretz Service

Top Hamas official Abdel Aziz Rantisi said "Yassin is a man in a nation, and a nation in a man. And the retaliation of this nation, will be of the size of this man. You will see deeds not words." Rantisi himself was wounded in an Israeli airstrike in June 2003, when a helicopter launched missiles at his car.

The group vowed that Islamic groups around the world will join together to retaliate for the assassination and implied that the United States could be a target.

"The Zionists didn't carry out their operation without getting the consent of the terrorist American Administration, and it must take responsibility for this crime," Hamas said in a statement faxed to The Associated Press. "All the Muslims of the world will be honored to join in on the retaliation for this crime," the statement said.

The threat against the United States would represent a change of tactics for the militant group, which has always said its fight was with Israel and not with the United States.

The terrorists hate the free world. Israel may be their primary target but it would be a big mistake to think that Israel is the only object of their hatred.

"Hamas: Sharon has opened the gates of hell"

Isn't it blasphemy in their 'religion' to imply that Sharon is more powerful than allah?

"Yassin is a man in a nation, and a nation in a man.

So now that nation is in little bloody chunks being scraped up off the pavement.

And the retaliation of this nation, will be of the size of this man.

See above about the size of what remains of "this man".

from the article: "The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, a militant group connected to PA Chairman Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction, declared war on Israelis in response to the assassination. "War, war, war on the sons of Zion. An eye for an eye. There will be a response within hours, God willing," the group, which has killed said in a statement."

so what's new?

Let's get on with it, let the tanks roll through ALL the territories, and just get rid of the scum of the earth.

Oh, I forgot.

Wipe out Arafat first, before the funeral for this latest terrorist.

Then, when the funerals begin, and the crowds gather, would be a very good time to start dropping the bombs.

After that, no electricity, no water, no food supplies allowed in, as the bombs continue to drop.

If it's going to be a war, LET IT BE TOTAL WAR!

The gates of Hell had to open to let Yassin in.

I reckon one must open the gates of hell to strike at those who reside there.

Hopefully Sharon blew open a hole big enough for allah, muhogwash, bin laden, and the rest of that scum to carry their swollen egos in with them.

The Arab street will rise up, just as it has after every call by the Arabs for the street to rise up. But it just sits there and bakes in the sun. Or ends up as road kill.

If this means war, then what has been going on for the past 50 years? Make that 3000 years.

After 7 centuries, the Arab world's main export is mass violence.

They keep declaring war on Israel.

Hamas, Hezbollah, Tanzim, Al-Aqsa, all they can ever say is "we declare war".

But when they get the war they declare, they cry like little girls.

This is a threat for internal consumption. The moslem terrorists will stick to their current policy and avoid any attacks against the US.

Dunno about that but certainly it would make it easier for these bastards to reach their ultimate destination.
