Hamas' attack against a Jihadist group inside Gaza is about to provide the Palestinian Islamist organisation a pass to become a "mainstream" movement, acceptable internationally as a partner in negotiations. Or at least that is what Hamas strategists think may happen as a result of crushing the minuscule militant entity known as Jund Ansar Allah (The Soldiers or the Partisans of Allah) last week. This is another murky development in the world of Jihadism, where the biggest brothers in holy war devoured the little ones, in a race between who can achieve final victory against the Kuffar (infidels). But in Gaza, these intra Jihadist slaughter fests are peculiar in as much as the "Palestine cause" is so central to the Islamist political narrative worldwide.

The only terminology the Barack Obama administration wants to use nowadays is that the United States is at war with al-Qaida and its violent extremist allies who seek to carry on al-Qaida's murderous agenda. This slogan raises many questions: How can you be at war with al-Qaida and not state what al-Qaida's ideology is? What does extremists mean? How can the U.S. be at war with a non-state actor if the administration has decided to abandon the concept of war to begin with? It sounds like the architects of the new narrative have created a doctrine that doesn't add up.

As we read in the speech delivered by the White House’s top advisor on homeland security and terrorism on dropping the use of phrases such as war on terror and jihad we realize that the administration is going backward in understanding the threat and explaining it to the public.

How far will terrorists go to cloak themselves in legitimacy? Last week's action in the Gaza Strip, now governed by the terrorist network Hamas, is a good example.

Hamas' attack against the Jund Ansar Allah (JAA, "The Soldiers or the Partisans of Allah"), a Jihadist group inside Gaza, was intended to provide the Palestinian Islamist organization a pass to become a "mainstream" movement, acceptable internationally as a partner in peace negotiations with Israel.
