This is about more than Hamas
During my six years based in the Middle East I spent time in Gaza researching the political situation. I discovered that there are nine other Salafist groups in Gaza as hard line as Hamas, if not more so. In fact, some of them were at war with Hamas — with shoot-outs between them not uncommon — who they believed were too moderate.The nine groups are: Jaysh al-Ummah (Army of the Nation); Jaljalat (Rolling Thunder); Jaysh al-Islam (Army of Islam); Ansar al-Sunnah (Loyal Followers of Sunnah); Jund Ansar Allah (Soldiers of the Followers of Allah); the Al-Tawhid Brigades (the One God Brigades); the al-Haman Mohammed Bin Maslamah Brigades; the Mujahideen Shura Council (the Defenders of God Council); and the Ahrar al-Watan (the Free of the Homeland.)
All of these groups are Sunni, all want Sharia imposed and all endorse kidnappings.
