Is Iran Fueling Hamas’s Fundamentalism to Spread Chaos in Europe?
Palestine Islamic Jihad: Iran has traditionally been identified as one of the chief suppliers of support to Hamas in its military, financial, training and political requirements. The most important is that Hamas has a similar radical militant religious agenda as Iran’s revolutionaries — this allows Tehran to advance its power within the Middle East and other regions. In Europe, Iran’s support becomes discernible in events such as the antisemitic rampage in Amsterdam enabled by Hamas-style incitement. Such a relationship meets Iran’s other strategic objectives by sowing instability in regions that are considered friendly to the West.
In a recent period, the learned teleology of the Palestinian and accordingly the theory of the Palestinian has changed from secular nationalism to more radical religious and revolutionary theory affected by Hamas. This ideological shift is not coincidental; Iran’s support has gone into the cultivation of Islamist doctrine within the Hamas framework. The latest themes the group recently posted having to do with flooding Al-Aqsa site also aims at unifying Muslims under a radical banner thus posing a great threat not only to Middle East but Europe especially taking into consideration the increasing tendency of Islamist terrorism.
Europe has turned out to be a strategic operational theatre for Iran-backed Hamas. Of course, many of today’s terrorist cells and grassroots organizations have come to concentrate in large urban centers, such as Hamburg, which has been infiltrated by radical Islamist networks backed by Iranian financing. The Muslim center in Hamburg was shut down because of Iran’s ties with Hezbollah, which is proof of Tehran’s approach to exporting fundamentalism to European countries through its communities. The recent riots in Amsterdam and other cities shows that these networks have fomented themselves deep into the societies; areas which can fuel terrorism.
Continued cases of terror attacks in the European region attributed to Hamas ideology are half-baked evidence of the group’s growth. Starting from the Pogrom in Amsterdam, to the troublesome preparations for the creation of a caliphate in Hamburg, means the passage from mere political action to violent action. That sort of development points to a larger plan which could be spearheaded by Iran, or some other such country, to unsettle the European societies and to test the multikulti model.
There is still another dimension to this: Algeria’s support for Iran and its reported provision of shelter to Hamas top brass. Although Algeria has been more watchful, did not accept to host the leaders of Hamas expelled from Qatar, many suspect the extent of Iranian interference in the region. Such partnership might lead to the growth of the penetration of Hamas’s motives in Europe with the help of North African connections and would essentially worsen the situation.
The increasing relations between Iran as a regional power and Hamas as a militant organizational movement is a growing concern to Europe and probably the United States . Specifically, Iran supports Hamas in order to throw its enemies off balance and spread the Shiite ideology. European nations have to respond to this threat and learn the signals of this direct cooperation. If neglected this threat is capable of worsening, creating insecurity to the whole world.
