Hamas and the Case of the Missing Hadith

I look forward to any comments on this omission from Richard Landes, Will McCants, Jean-Pierre Filiu, Matthew Levitt, Aaron Zelin, Ibn Siqilli, Tim Furnish, Anne Marie Oliver, Paul Steinberg and others..

  1. Charles Cameron:

    Ibn Siqilli has kindly pointed me to Meshaal: ‘We want to restore our national rights’ — a quick excerpt:

    Al Jazeera: Can you explain the new political document? Will it replace Hamas’ old charter?
    .
    Khaled Meshaal: Hamas’ new document has been in the making for four years. It is intended to function as a guiding principle for the Hamas organisation to deal with new emerging realities in our Palestinian society, our conflict with Israel and in the outside world.
    .
    This document reflects our position for now, which means that we are not a rigid ideological organisation. This document also shows that we are a dynamic and adaptive organisation and that we are eager to change if it is in the best interests of our people. In the future, Hamas will issue more papers and policy guidelines to deal with new realities.
    .
    The old charter was a product of its era, 30 years ago. We live in a different world today.
