I've Been Thinking:

Extremist organizations, by their very nature, see the world through their own unique prism of warped reality.

Take Hamas, for example.
The Italian newspaper La Repubblica quotes Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas leader who was ousted as Palestinian prime minister, saying that the current isolation of Hamas might just push the people toward extremism.
He is also quoted denying that al Qaeda has laid down any roots in Gaza.

Huh? Current PA leadership, Israeli intelligence and even the government of France are very worried that al Qaeda infiltrated Gaza and is working with Hamas.
On Wednesday French Foreign Minister Bernard Koucher explained the Hamas/al Qaeda bedfellow relationship saying: "I think Hamas did not wait for this extreme situation - the current terrible situation in Gaza - to have contacts with al Qaeda. And it would perhaps be too simple to think that we, the international community, are responsible."

Hamas is a terror organization.
Al Qaeda is a terror organization.
Al Qaeda and Hamas may have ideological differences, but they are both extremist organizations.
There are no gradations in terror groups - they are all bad.
