		Azzam proclaimed that any land that was once ruled by the Islamic caliphate, even if it were as small as the span of a person's hand, must be recaptured if it falls into the hands of infidels.
		Azzam's dispute with the PLO foreshadowed a disagreement that developed between him and Bin Laden in the late 1980s.
		Already, Azzam had helped to establish Hamas, and during the first intifada in 1987, Arafat's PLO was forced to co-opt Azzam's ideas and rhetoric when Hamas championed them.
