Victory of Hams in palestinian Authority has several implications on the ongoing Holy war against infidels.Palestine is the second state (Although not state in strcit definitions) where those Jihadi forces have grasped power who are pursuing a pure Islamic agenda of Shariyat. It would be interesting to see how Hamas behaves in government,whether it will be a repetition of Taliban rule or there would be some pragmatic rule. Any way Jihadi forces have proved they are not fringe elements within Muslim society and they are supported by Muslim masses. Al-Zawahiri has also claimed it in his latest tape.
One thing is very clear that ongoing Jihadi war has entered into an era where Jihadi forces are ready to push their agenda in legitimacy of state and where they are not in total control of state they have some pockets which is ruled by them with support of Muslim masses as some part of Pakistan,Iraq,Afganistan .Lets wait and watch the game of Jihad.
