Hamas Leader Khaled Mash’al Meets with Iraqi Terrorists and Accepts Their Women’s Gold

The following report was aired on Al-Rai TV (Syria) on January 22, 2009. It shows a meeting between the head of Hamas’ Political Bureau Khaled Mash’al and a delegation of Iraqi terrorists from the Men of the Naqshabandi Order Army organization. The meeting was held in the presence of the owner of Al-Rai TV, Mish’an Al-Jabouri, a Saddam loyalist, who is wanted in Iraq and lives in exile in Syria. In the meeting, the Naqshabandi delegation gave Mash’al gold jewelry donated by the women of the organization. The donation event was aired on Al-Rai TV on January 4, 2009, and is also presented in this clip.

Presenter: This gold jewelry may have been the only possession of the noble Naqshabandi women, who wanted to participate in the nation's Jihad in Gaza. They sent their donations with a delegation of the Army of the Naqshabandi Order, which was a guest of the head of Hamas' Political Bureau. They conveyed their congratulations for the victory of the resistance, and stressed their shared path and fate.

Member of the Iraqi delegation, reading a message from the Naqshabandi women: "We took upon ourselves to sacrifice our necklaces, our bracelets, and our gold jewelry, for the sake of our people in Gaza, even though this jewelry is needed for the liberation of Iraq. We believe this is what our tolerant Islamic shari'a dictates, since the battle against injustice, tyranny, and occupation is a common battle."

Presenter: The representative of the Naqshabandi Army, which has carried out many attacks as part of the Iraqi resistance against the American occupation, conveyed his pride in Hamas' victory over the Zionist entity, and in the steadfastness of Hamas' fighters.

Member of the Iraqi delegation: We share this clear victory with you, the people of Palestine. We share your Jihad and this wonderful victory, which has raised the banner of Allah Akbar, and the full meaning of bravery and sacrifice in the Islamic and Arab nation.

Presenter: This highly symbolic gift and blessing to Hamas was an act of altruism, especially since the Iraqi resistance itself is in need of support, as was emphasized by Mash'al, who expressed his pride in the Iraqi resistance, which played an important role in defending the nation.

Khaled Mash’al: We, too, are proud of Iraq and its great people, which defended the nation against the American advance, and stopped it, and by means of the heroic Iraqi resistance, it defended the entire nation from the arrogance of Bush, and from his plan for hegemony over the Arab and Islamic region. May Allah reward you.

Presenter: Mish'an Al-Jabouri, the head of the Reconciliation and Liberation bloc praised, in turn, the joint efforts of the Iraqi and Palestinian peoples in confronting occupation and tyranny. The nation is one, and the enemy is one. He stressed that the Iraqi resistance is the resistance of the nation in confronting the greedy (powers). One resistance meets another, and a victory blesses the victory of the nation. Here in Damascus - Baghdad and Gaza have met. The unity of arms stressed the unity of blood, in the hope of meeting soon in a land liberated forever.
