To make it shorter

Isen't Hamas, Fatah too, and 'prospects for peace' some antinomic propositions, as are for samples: water and dry, ice and warm?

In fact, i can't imagine Hamas associated with anything else than war, traditionnal islamic hatred, horrors, murders, terrorism and this kind of things.

I think i didn't add anything to D Pipes's analysis, which was one of his shortest. And here is the significant point, nothing is more true that there is no need to spend a lot of words to guess the future with one of the bloodiest organization of the world, for which it is hard to say if they are more permanently disgracing themself or being more deshumanized than the day before.

D Pipes being on the "moderate islam exists and will take over" way of thinking, i am sure he is not sharing with my opinion that Hamas is a perfect synthesis of the whole islamic world. Anyway the next twenty years will show us who is right or not ( with nuclear bombs spreading more and more, no doubt that the answer will be brilliant, even if 'luminous' could be more descriptive ), and i will not bet a single grain of sand on 'moderate islam'... Conflicting here with any West 'regular' polticians, who are betting their own civilization's survivorship on it, and spicy detail, whithout the agreement or even the knowledge of their people. Humorous will find that Daladier & Chamberlain's 'spirit' was in the end of minor consequence, but i must say that i am curious about knowing why those politicians are so bogged in their mortifying attitude. I mean: why do they only consider the 'moderate islam' option?

More than 1300 years of an empire growing on colonization and military basis is not sufficient to raise up the smallest warning? Have the islamic empire the littlest proof, pure lies by leftist media relaying the islamist propaganda doesn't stand for proof, sorry folks, that another civilization can survive on its sphere of inluence, and for the member of those other civilizations surviving in another way that as semi-slave at best? Isn't considering all of that a basic political fault? Is one of the West politicians dumb enough to deal with moderate China or moderate India as the only option for future? So why?
