1. how much israel or the mossad pay him ?
Moshe ,   Israel   (07.21.06)
2. TYPICAL...
KS ,   Lebanon   (07.21.06)
Sorry to say but this cleric is the typical dumbass muslim!! what an emabarrasment!!
3. Gee boss that all makes sense. Now I'll change my evil ways.
MuleHamed Sheepshagn ,   Terrior camp, Iran   (07.21.06)
4. an obstacle for making hate of israel islam's 6th pillar
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (07.21.06)
it is universally accepted in islam that hatred of israel is one of the litmus tests for orthodoxy. for the saudis to make this fatwa against hizbullah will only marginalize the saudis as zionistic american infidel collaborators. after all, it is expected that muslims can get away with terrorism when it comes to israel because hatred of israel is completely endemic in the islamic identity that the world accepts the fact that it cannot be separated from islam. therefore, israel is the one who is expected to endure terror and eventually change (meaning: cease to exist).
5. Saudi people
lolo ,   usa   (07.21.06)
I think this is typical isareli propoganda against Hizbollah, this is nonesense, because many saudi people dying to go to jihad with Hizbolla in south lebnanon, what saudi clercs say is just words..
6. at last the arabs says the true
søren ,   Denmark   (07.21.06)
I am not supporting any side in this conflict, but it is clear that Hizbola is the 'bad guy' here . Israel defence itself, as any country would do. I wish more Arab countries and Arabs people will be brave enough to say what they really think, without fear - same like Saudi.
7. Great, Sunnis must support, join and pray for Israel
Hasan Nasruallah ,   Worldwide   (07.21.06)
Great, Sunnis must support, join and pray for Israel! It seems that Saudi corruption rearched the clergy! First time ever to hear Bush & Olmert fatwas through Saudis. Saudis are traitors. Long Live Hizbuallah & Nasruallah!
8. The obvious
Norskefiske ,   Norway   (07.21.06)
It seems the Arabs are not really united in support for the Hezbollah. First I heard Mubarak speak against them after that jordan, saudi arabia and even the Lebanease PM mentioned his objection to them. And now even the religious people come up against them. If the moderate islamic world stands up against the shiit extremism, the middle east might be a place I might even consider visiting.
9. soren ur not that bright are u
patrick ,   paris   (07.21.06)
10. Thats the funniest article i've read in a while...
Nothing New ,   Australia   (07.21.06)
I love the propaganda that comes out during war, why dont they have this entertaining material when the war is over ? How about, this one, " If I was a palestinian I would never accept peace with Israel either, we stole their land" Oh wait that was Ben Gurion, thats actually true !
11. They prepare to lose again
Marcel ,   Florida   (07.21.06)
Message to lebanese hezbollah fighter layal, what an honor for you to die in jihad against infidels ??? First the Lebanese make an excuse of not having an army . Now their defense minister and president say 'The Lebanese Army will fight against Israel with Hezbollah' Sounds like they have an Army to me,but not for long. layal, What a shock when you stand before the Creator on judgment day and find out He is ISRAELI JEW and that allah was the creation of a perverted ali baba named mohammed You will have learned too late ,you died for the lied of the worlds greatest con man. PREPARE TO LOSE AGAIN !
12. TYPICAL
ari ,   NY, USA   (07.21.06)
yes i am sure he is an embarassment to all the atypical dumbass muslims. Al Qaeda vs Hezbooboo. What a twist! It's now clear there is a G-d in Heaven...and he doesn't read the Quran
13. this's the same clerk (oops, i mean celric) who
Fahd ,   Saudi Arabia   (07.21.06)
declared pokemon the number 1 enemy of muslims! lol rumor has it he released both fatwas while drinking whiskey from his GI boy friend' army boots! feed that fat humanoid jukebox some coins, and he'll make u hear ur favorite track!
14. wahabbis
Djazaïri ,   France   (07.21.06)
Now, the zionists appreciate the wahabbis. They've got something in common : they're mad and they work together since a long time. As soon as the zionist entity has been crushed, Arab patriots will do the job of eliminating those damned wahabbis.
15. Apparently, the US is helping
John ,   NZ   (07.21.06)
the Shites in Iraq to get back into power
16. As soon as the zionist entity has been crushed
(07.21.06)
worthless promises as usual
17. #10 nothing new
Nannette ,   London, UK   (07.21.06)
You're just copying fabricated quotes by Arab propagandists. Not in any book, recording, or journal, did BG say that.
18. Un Islamic
Sam Olayan ,   Riyadh Saudi Arabia   (07.21.06)
Hate to P on your parade, but such a fatwa is unislamic. The Saudi Royal family have lost their minds and their popular support within the country as a resutl of their stance critical of Hizbulla. A better fatwa would be to outlaw Royal Corruption and abolish monarchy to establish an Islamic Caliphate that would mobilize the Umma to restore its rights amd assert its interests.
19. They still want Israel annihilated
Nannette ,   London, UK   (07.21.06)
The Arabs were allied with the Nazis in WW2 and expelled Jews from their countries, taking all the homes, wealth and lands. Now they want not only a Jew free middle east, but they'll increase the Christian slaughter once Jews are gone.
20. So does this fatwa mean we should support Israel?
Palestinian   (07.21.06)
What a ridiculous fatwa is this? In Quran, when the Romans fought the Persians, it is mentioned that the believers were happy to the Roman victory becuase they were at least people of the Book. I think the sheikh should put his fatwa in context! What is he really trying to say??
21. This is GOOD NEWS!
Edan ,   Beer Sheva   (07.21.06)
It means that the Hizbollah will NOT be succesful in enlisting the arab world against us. It also shows the rest of the free world that muslims can be different. Is this the same cleric that condemed suicide bombings and terrorist activity? Good for him.
22. TO # 14 and other pests
Irina ,   USA   (07.21.06)
You will be defeated,,, you know that, it just the matter of time for Israel to crush cowards like you, who are using their own children as human shilds to do their dirty job... no matter where you are. SHALOM
23. Good Cop Bad Cop, but who's who? Changes daily.
D- ,   San Diego, USA   (07.21.06)
24. Such a worthless fatwa deserves no comment!
Hani ,   Nablus   (07.21.06)
25. Muslims are funny!!!
DR ,   Florida, USA   (07.21.06)
Everytime we see a cleric or Imam condemn terror, all we see form Muslims ion this site is hate. "un-islamic" one write, others call him a traitor. What is wrong with this oicture??? Muslims are so hell bent on destroying Isral and the western cultures, that they stop seeing what's right and wrong. Supporting terror and states like Iran and Syria is just plain evil. Strange culture which will soon disappear!!!
26. To #16
Belarus   (07.21.06)
You are delirious, check you pulse... we will talk your lanquage: we'll fight you to your END. SHALOM
27. What the Saudi cleric said
John ,   NZj   (07.21.06)
was more directed to Iran than Hizbollah itself. Saudi Arabia is oil-rich and is every Terrorist's dream target.
28. establish an Islamic Caliphate that would mobilize the Umma
(07.21.06)
and you pitiful person have to post this on an israeli site ?? how low
29. to # 7
Mishe Mohem   (07.21.06)
If Saudis are traitors, what does make you .. you bastard.. All of Hizbollah are traitors for coward Syria and retarded Iran. You Betrayed lebanon. All Shiite in lebanon betrayed lebanon. I will also pray that Israel will crush you all ..you Hizbolla or Party of Satan.
30. Extremists...
yonatan ,   usa   (07.21.06)
#20, It is sad that muslims have come to believe that violence against all other beliefs is the answer. for it you murder families just for the sake of blowing yourselves and others up. Have you stopped to think that maybe terror is wrong? I hate extremists, no matter what race or religion-- and this is by far extreme. I'm sure mohammed didn't get believers by killing off civilians, what the heck is your goal here-- are you trying to kill off everyone in the world but the muslims? or do you think by brutality you will convert everyone? This sheik obviously sees that the Hizbullah is doing wrongly-- tearing apart the world's view of Islam. Perhaps he realizes that these extremists are not people of the Quran, but more closely associate their beliefs with books like Mein Kampf. FYI- Mohammed believed that Moses and Jesus were prophets of the same God-- can you not respect that at all?
