What Victory?

The leaders of  Hamas have come out to declare victory in Gaza against the Israelis. Can you imagine Israeli leaders telling their people they are the winners after more than one thousand of their citizens being killed and infrastructure brought to ruins? They simply will not accept it, the 2006 war with Lebanon was unpopular in Israel because of the human loss they suffered. So why do we insult the people of Gaza by telling them that they are on the winning side? We do not respect and value human life. We have allowed the clerics and politicians for many years to come on our TVs and glorify death instead of life, death equals martydom they tell us and martydom is living in eternal bliss next to the Prophet (pbuh) and the Sahaba. The more blood spilt according to them the more blessing the land of Gaza will receive from God.  Being killed by the enemy is better than dying in the hands of other Muslims, at least you get to be labelled “a martyr”. So why complain when they are being killed? If you love death then of course you will think Hamas emerged victorious.

Nizar Rayan is now considered to be a hero and a martyr because he chose to stay home rather than try and save his children and wives, crazy huh? The extremists culture of death ideology is victorious today.
