From Wikipedia:
Hamas, an acronym of its official name, Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (Arabic: حركة المقاومة الإسلامية, romanized: Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah, lit. ‘Islamic Resistance Movement’)
Some Hamas leader: “We are an Islamic resistance movement” (although there seem to be worse ones around)
Apparently they like islamic dress codes, going so far as to patrolling beaches to enforce them
They don’t like music and dance either
Please point to any source (not obviously islamic propaganda) of Hamas not being an islamic organization. I’m not saying it’s what makes them the bad guys, just that it’s dishonest to say they have “nothing to do with religion”
