Hamas [...] has nothing to do with religion

From Wikipedia:

Hamas, an acronym of its official name, Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (Arabic: حركة المقاومة الإسلامية, romanized: Ḥarakat al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah, lit. 'Islamic Resistance Movement')

Right, and the NAZI party was the National-Socialist Party Of The German Worker (whilst being anti-Socialist) and the Democratic Republic Of Korea is the northern one and a dictatorship, just to name two big examples of the name meaning nothing at all.

That "argument" of your is not exactly solid.

Some Hamas leader: "We are an Islamic resistance movement" (although there seem to be worse ones around)

Apparently they like islamic dress codes, going so far as to patrolling beaches to enforce them

They don't like music and dance either

Please point to any source (not obviously islamic propaganda) of Hamas not being an islamic organization. I'm not saying it's what makes them the bad guys, just that it's dishonest to say they have "nothing to do with religion"
