HAMAS is an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawammah al-Islammiyya.
It means Islamic Resistance Movement. The terrorist group is an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood - the same organization that has spawned most fundamentalist Islamic hate groups. The Muslim Brotherhood is a Sunni, Salafist, Islamist, religious movement that originated in Egypt.
HAMAS seeks the forced imposition of fundamentalist Muslim social, moral, legal, religious, and political mandates on the world.

| Khalid Sheikh Mohammed |
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was a former member of HAMAS and was trained in terrorist tactics and strategy by HAMAS.
The original strategy by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his cousin Ramzi Yousef, was to use airline timetables and on a single day board 12 American flights (using 5 men) assemble and hide bombs with timed detonators that would explode several days afterward.
That strategy was changed to 19 men and the infamous 9/11 terrorist attack, which killed nearly 3000 innocent American Citizens and caused an uproar around the World.
