Young Muslims Association
The Young Muslims Association's Palestine branch was led by Izz al-din Qassam, the preacher whose name Hamas later gave its armed wing. Through 2010 the opening said he built support for the Association by focusing on Greater Jihad, moral uplift and helping the poor, rather than Lesser Jihad which is violence. The word jihad appears nowhere in the article today. A reader today learns nothing of the organization's relationship to jihad, though its Palestine leader lent his name to Hamas's military wing.
