Hamas’s Political Vision

“This study discusses Hamas’s political vision by examining specific issues, namely: religion and state, patriotism and secularism, democracy and the power of the people, political pluralism, and human rights, with the aim of identifying Hamas’s theoretical and practical attitude on these issues. The researcher in his approach relies on ideological and political determinants contained in Hamas’s written documents, or statements by Hamas leaders, cross-referencing it with Islamic political literature, especially that of the Muslim Brothers (MB) movement. The research applied the analytical descriptive approach, only offering a deeper historical background to attitudes and facts when necessary. “
