The symbols of the Hamas logo illustrate the group's intractable attitude toward Israel. At the top is an outline of the territory of Israel, Gaza and the West Bank shown as one entity covered in green, Hamas' symbolic color. In the center is the Muslim shrine the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, surrounded by banners bearing the phrases "There is no god but Allah" and "Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." Underneath those are the words "Palestine" and "Islamic Resistance Movement—Hamas." The swords are a common Islamic motif, representing the power of Islam and the desire to spread the religion, by force if necessary.

    Why has no one tried to impress enough of this back ground understanding to the Government to try to prohibit Islamic immigration?
    Why has no one been doing enough to bring the truth out to the public to have this show their displeasure with Islam to also send in their displeasure to prevent more Islamic immigration.
    It would have been better to stop this now before it gets worse.
