Whats the difference between Hamas, Hezbollah,Baath ,Taliban & Al Qaeda?

Question

Besides that they hate America

Answer 1

Hamas is the ruling party of Palestine, a Sunni Islamist organisation, which is widely held to be a terrorist organisation, due to bombings in Israel.
Hezbollah is an organisation formed to resist Israeli occupation of Lebanon, which has one or two seats in the Lebanese Government
the Ba'ath party is a secular nationalist party in Arab countries, which is strongest in Iraq and Syria
the Taliban was the ruling party of Afghanistan, and is a Sunni nationalist party, known for what in the west is perceived as extremism, but is largely unrecognised as a legitimate political party.
Al Qaeda is a fundamentalist Sunni paramilitary organisation, who want to reduce the influence of outsiders on Islamic affairs. Australia, the US, the UK and Canada say Al Qaeda is a terrorist organisation, but this is not a belief that is held by all countries, including some Western ones.

Answer 2

Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al-Qaida are officially terrorist organizations and are still pretty much breathing...The Taliban and Baath are political parties and have been defeated in the past though they aint fully dead yet. Al-Qaida, Hamas, Taliban and Baath are Sunni...Hezbollah is Shiite. And I know you already said it but...They Hate America and Israel.

Answer 3

First of all, i do not agree that they all hate america, although it is true that America hates all of them:
1- Hamas is palestnian resistance group based on sunni religous dogma, in the begining it was created by the assistance of the Isreali Secret service, as to counterweight the Secular national palesenian movement of Fateh led by Arafat. Hamas aims to liberate occupied palestnian land from Isreal.
2- Hezbollah is lebanese and is based on Shiate, not sunni religous dogma, (shiat are another branch of islam). It was created in opposition to Isreali occupation of lebanon.
3- The baath is secular, it is a party based on the national ideal of uniting all of the arabs, the Baath has always been hated by the religous groups such as al-qaida, and has had to fight with them on a number of occasions. The party stared in Syria, and has had branches in most arab countries. It succseeded to power in Syria and Iraq, although once in power the groups split, and started working against each other.
I would say that all these groups do not have a problem with america except in its bias towards Isreal.

4- Al-Qaeda comes from saudi, they are an extermist sunni group, who hate america more than they hate isreal. they have worldwide network connecting them to various other extermist groups, the group was created by bin laden.
5-Taliban is also extermist sunni afghani group that allied with al-qaeda, when they took control over afghanistan. They are more concerend with afghanistan than the broader worldwide issues that concern al-qaida.

also it should be noted that these last two groups are anti-US now, but when they were created with the assistance of the US, they were anti-soviet.

Answer 4

The only difference is the source of their money. Taliban and Al
Q have Saudi and selling poppies. The others have Iran.

Answer 5

Some of them are Shi'ite and others Sunni. They all control or controlled some part of the governments in the countries the reside in. They despise Israel and America to a lesser degree.
Ultimately they all disagree with the western way of life and would destroy any corrupt western country under the rules of lesser Jihad if they could.

Answer 6

They are all basically the same. Many, many years ago Muslims said they will not stop until the entire world becomes Muslim. They do all they can to make us into them. When they think they have accomplished it, then they will kill all unbelievers they find. America has always believed (since the founding fathers anyway) that all people are entitled to believe their own way.

Answer 7

theyre pretty much the same. Their funders and supporters are usually different. Their basic mantra remains the same in each group.

Answer 8

no difference really.

They're all Muslim organizations/political parties who want nothing less than the death of every non-Muslim in the world. And they will not rest until either they're all dead or WE'RE all dead.

Answer 9

They have different names. Other than that, their all cold blooded murderers.

Answer 10

derka derka derka!
