Beirut – The leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah group says Islamic extremists have insulted Islam and the Prophet Muhammad more than those who published satirical cartoons mocking the religion.

Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah did not directly mention the Paris attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo that left 12 people dead, but he said Islamic extremists who behead and slaughter people — a reference to the IS group’s rampages in Iraq and Syria — have done more harm to Islam than anyone else in history.
Nasrallah spoke Friday via video link to supporters gathered in southern Beirut.
Nasrallah’s Shiite group is fighting in Syria alongside President Bashar Assad.
His remarks are in stark contrast to those of Sunni militants from the IS group and al-Qaida who have called for attacks on Western countries.
This is ironic, since Noserollah is himself an Islamic extremist who has harmed Islam. I urge him to repent, to disband his organization, and to release all information on Hizbullah’s and Iran’s involvement in decades of terroristic crimes, including the murder of over 200 U.S. servicemen in the 1980s, kidnappings and murders of U.S. citizens, cross-border attacks into Israel, etc.
Hezbollah is such a nice, peace loving group. Why didn’t we realize that all along?
They would never harm a fly, let alone carry out extremist attacks on anyone! They would never send missiles into the cities of Israel or stockpile weapons throughout southern Lebanon, hiding launchers near civilian’s homes. No, wait!….
Will Islam hit blanket condemnations because of the terror attack in Paris?
NO!
“Is that attack Islam’s fault?”
YES!
This scourge of Islam is a curse upon the whole planet and I am tired of hearing of all the “moderate Muslims.” There is absolutely no possibility of co-existence with this EVIL religion. The French and Europeans are learning this lesson the hard way. Most Americans have also woken up to the truth – although our “leaders” haven’t.
There have been a lot of religions since the dawn of history but this Islam is by far the most backwards, violent, sexist, anti-Semitic, anti –free speech, anti-civilization excuse for a religion that our planet has ever been cursed with. It brings us nothing but violence, death and terror. This world would be a PARADISE without Islam.
Ask the most “moderate” and peaceful Muslim if he willing to recognize the one and only Jewish State which has been practically begging for peaceful coexistence for almost 70 years. We all know the answer. No way. Not now. Not ever. That’s the Islamic version of “moderate.” No co-operation, no tolerance for non-Muslims, no peaceful co-existence.
Forget the sword its the atom bomb today!!!
Git Shabbos
Nasrallah is a Shiite, whereas IS and al queida are Suni.
There is presently a global war between them for control.
Not to compare, but it’s like Satmar saying that the Neturei Karta do more harm to Judaism than does the State of Israel.
Adolf Hitler (ym”s) “killing or harming Jews does more to hurt the Nazi party than anything else”
On the contrary. His statements prove not what a nice man he is but what a Devil he is.
Are statements, as well as all other Arab Islamic statements these days on this matter, while pretending to be against the Terrorists, actually prove that they actually SUPPORT the Terror and Murder of others who don’t agree with what they believe in and they DO in fact support Murder and Terror.
As an example:
This very cleric makes it very very clear, that the ONLY thing wrong with what the Arab Murderers in France is ONLY because they will cause harm to Islam.
What that means is that this Cleric could care less that innocent lives were lost. It means he could care less about murdering others who don’t agree with Islam. It means he could care less that these Cartoonists are were murdered in cold blood only because they criticized a Murderer Supporting Organization called “Islam”.
There is only ONE problem here, says this cleric:
The ONLY problem, he says is that it was done in a way that is NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT and cause * SHAME * to Islam. But Kill Islam SHOULD Murder as much as possible but just do it in a way that will not cause SHAME to Islam as they usually do in Israel
The older people here will remember Arafat saying one thing in English to placate the press and the opposite in Arabic. More of the same.
