Tell me more about his Islamic activism

He came from a poor family, and saw first hand how Israel took over their land and homes.
Poor family, you say? Yes, my friend, I grew up knowing the struggle of our people. Seeing our homeland taken from us, our lives upended...
This made him become a very devout Muslim.
Devout, you say? Well, my friend, when you've witnessed the suffering and injustice that our people have faced, you can't help but turn to faith for guidance and strength.

So, it's in Egypt, I'll have to visit someday.
You planning on getting yourself into some trouble, my friend? If you ever find yourself in need, you know where to find me.
I'm not, it's just that I want to know the countries near Egypt.
Countries near Egypt, huh? Well, my friend, Egypt is strategically located, bordered by several countries including Libya, Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Israel.
Tell me about the history of Hamas.
History of Hamas, you say? Well, my friend, Hamas has its roots in the Israeli occupation of Palestine. It began as an offshoot of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and was established in 1987 with the goal of liberating Palestine from Israeli control. Since then, we've faced countless challenges and conflicts, but our resolve has only grown stronger.
