So confused :(

I am confused, very much so actually. No confusion can ever match this one except the confusion of 1990 when Saddam invaded Kuwait. There is a huge difference between Saddam and Hamas. However, I can't see where this is heading and how could this lead to any good. I am more confused than that summer of 1990. Back then I was sure that Saddam was wrong and I was sure that inviting the US to free Kuwait was wrong too and I felt helpless because I didn't have an alternative. This time, I don't even know what is wrong and what is right, who is wrong and who is right. I am confused, perplexed, disappointed, frustrated, sad and depressed all at the same time. I have declined to comment on this particular issue for a long time because I felt that no matter how much I knew about it, I was probably ignorant. Today, I feel I am more ignorant than ever before. All I can do is just pray for justice and peace. Because for all I know, it is injustice in its ugliest forms for the Palestinians and that this land deserves peace.

u know...this is a test for the truth...a test for supporters of the truth...when hamas first came into power, we were sharing thoughts in our halaqa...everyone was ecstatic that Hamas had won a democratically internationally supervised election...I was happy, but weary, because with positions of leadership come trial. With the then recent losses of two of the founders and leaders (sh.ahmed yassine and dr. abdelaziz alranteese) it was even more worrisome for me, the burden that Hamas would have to carry as Palestinian political leadership. Ismail Haniya gave a speech on Sunday that really made me feel better about the whole issue, reconfirming their goals and mandates. We now make duaa that Allah (SWT) puts the trust of the Palestinian people back into their democratically elected authority, because this is the biggest test for them. And Allah knows best.
