Gaza - Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, founder and spiritual leader of the Islamic
Resistance Movement, Hamas, has urged the Muslim Ummah to restore past glory
and to support Mujahideen in Islamic countries.

Sheikh Yassin, speaking to reporters on the occasion of Eidul Fitr, said
that Jihad for the cause of Allah was the only path towards ridding the
Muslim Ummah of colonization.

He noted that Eidul Fitr this year was coupled with bleeding wounds in the
Muslim Ummah. He advocated cooperation and solidarity to confront challenges
facing the Ummah.

The Hamas leader said that the Eid should not be limited to prayers while
the Ummah was suffering from disunity, corruption and occupation.

Yassin hoped that the next Eid would be coupled with victories for the Ummah
in Palestine, Iraq, Chechnya and Afghanistan.

The Sheikh renewed insistence on Jihad in its capacity as the sole means to
rid the Ummah of occupation. He charged that a crusade was being waged to
wipe out the Muslim Ummah and Islam and nothing else but Jihad would repulse
such an offensive.

Sheikh Yassin concluded by asking the Muslims everywhere to double their
efforts and support of the Mujahideen.
