Or rather why do people care about Hamas at all? Their activities are contained in the Middle East, they aren't the West's problem, , they are mostly israel's problem and their main goal is to get Palestinian land back , so they are mostly Palestinian nationalists. Im not sure what is the problem with that exactly. The only people who should logically have a problem with hamas are israeli shills but even they should only really blame themselves because Netenyahu admitted that he helped to fund hamas.

Because they're a bunch of goat raping terrorists who hate us, and will come after us next (ignore the sleeper agents that got let in out borders because half the US population is pro open borders).
i have yet to see any evidence that Hamas would come after us next. The Taliban didn't . They stayed in Afghanistan once they took over it. However israel HAS taken over tons of Western institutions and is a bigger problem than both Hamas and the Taliban.

Very possibly, but he may be simply ignorant. The Barbary Slave Trade is a valid example of Islam waging war against Christians, as it was a long time practice of the Barbary Islamic Caliphate. It was standard practice for centuries that all Islamic countries around the Mediterranean would kidnap, enslave, and castrate Kuffar (Christians) from Europe.
This aggression was religiously based in Islamic supremacism, and the US attempted to negotiate with the Caliphate that as a country with no official state religion, attacks on US ships were inappropriate. This did not work, and led to the war, and President Jefferson's attempt to depose the government.
These were religiously motivated attacks by a religion that saw non-Muslims as inherently inferior and deserving of slavery.
And American Whites saw Blacks as inherently inferior. Was slavery in the US also religiously motivated or perhaps rather racially and financially motivated? The Berbers were pirates and slave traders that targeted Europeans and also Subsaharan Africans if they could get their hands on them. This was their lifestyle. They weren't a unified entity but a collection of pirate cities and states. This was a piracy/slave trader conflict. Not a religious war.
Just because religions plays/played a huge role in the life of people doesn't mean everything single thing is solely or primarily motivated by that religion. Religion isn't everything.
If you think that's me defending Islam as a religion then you're a fool. Unlike you I can and will separately judge the people and their religion and will not pretend that someone becomes an entirely different person just because they've changed their religion.
