The quote that "makes a lot of sense" to McGrath of Harlow states that Al-Qaida has "varying degrees of support...throughout the Muslim world...but not among Palestinians."

Not among Palestinians? On September 11, 2001 we watched the footage of parties and celebrations in Palestinian streets. We have seen the Palestinain Muslim fundamentalists of Hamas find common cause with Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaida as they send teenagers into Israel to commit suicide murders. Hamas enjoys widespread support among Palestinians and its leaders have acknowledged Hamas' support for Al-Qaida.
