The term extremism can just be a convenient misnomer used blatantly in the geopolitics world designated against those who fight for their freedoms. Even Fatah that controls the Palestinian Authority used to be designated as a terrorist organisation. If you're not part of us, you are the extremist - as simple as that.

Your comment in combination with the link are very misleading.

  1. Hamas was elected in 2006.

  2. The link you provide has a sensationalized title that talks about a specific incident in 2007. Here is an archive link for those who want to see what this incident is about. The following come from the article you shared:

Hamas takes control of Gaza

(...) a masked Hamas fighter sat down at the desk of the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, and declared an end to the western-backed authority in the Gaza strip.

In an imaginary telephone call to the US, a fighter from the Islamist movement's armed wing, Izz el-Deen al-Qassam, joked: "Hello Condoleezza Rice. You have to deal with me now, there is no Abu Mazen anymore."

In one of its first assertions of authority, Hamas called for the immediate release of the BBC Gaza correspondent, Alan Johnston, who was seized in March.
(...)
Amid scenes of disorder, the deposed Hamas prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh, called for an end to looting of abandoned Fatah properties and proposed reconciliation talks with Mr Abbas.
