31. #18(Sam Olayan) Unislamic methods for Islamic goals?
Miss Muslima ,   UK   (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. " Islamic Caliphate has nothing to do with Hezbollah, how do you think that helps restore rights and assert it's interests? Remember if the The Prophet were here today , he would outlaw all these groups, you know very well they are Unislamic. You cannot use Unislamic methods for an Unislamic cause. By distancing themselves from Hezbollah, the Saudi Royal family havn't changed their stance on justice for the Palestinians in any way.
32. xorthless promise
Djazaïri ,   France   (07.21.06)
It's not a promise. Arab people will never cease to fighr the zionist entity. A time will come when the US and German tax-payers will be tired of funding you without any return of their money. We'll be very very patient and we'll crush the zionist entity. Algerians did wait 132 years before forcing the French to leave. I don't think we'll need so much time to wipe the zionist state.
33.  Muslim Prickmanship
Leonard ,   Atlanta, USA   (07.21.06)
"Oh yeah, Sunni terror is holier than Shia terror! Priceless.
34. #28
Nannette ,   London, UK   (07.21.06)
He told the truth - and the whole world should be aware that the very large minorioty of Islamic extremists want to take us back to the dark ages, by establishing the global Caliphate, and having us all convert to Islam making us part of the worldwide Ummah. If our leaders were honest, they'd say that Islam is an intolerant, warlike, political ideology that cannot live with any other culture or religion. That is why the west has to act now, before we all become the victims of barbarism.
35. To # 32
Irina ,   USA   (07.21.06)
Keep talking.. meanwhile we'll do our job. You already showed you ugly face to the world, you'll have no mercy... don't cry.
36. Oh my another one
Laughing ,   south africa   (07.21.06)
The irony is that this sheikh who made such fatwa is one and the same as zarkawi who as I understand was hunted down by the US and was killed - which is great - so u mean to tell me that israel is joining foces with such thugs :-) amazing how desperate the israelis are
37. A chance for the simple people
Valentine ,   Romania   (07.21.06)
I really pity the simple hard working Arabs of Palestine and Lebanon. They are kept hostage by the militant ways of their brothers, trying to destroy Israel again and again, looking at small victories instead of investing in the people. In 48 instead of having a huge country, they decided to attack small Israel and as a result innocents found themselves refugees. Instead of having a country in Judea and Gaza, they kept on dreaming of Israel’s destruction and lost even that. Israel withdrew from Gaza, but instead of investing in the population and giving a chance, they had to attack Israel with Rockets and kidnapping soldiers and now again the simple Palestinians suffer. Lebanon was starting to bloom and people had hope, when Hizbollah decided to attack across the border and drag Israel into another fight, causing destruction and death. So they destroy a tank here and a tank there, killing a soldier or two and claim they brought the pride back to the Arabs, but the reality is that Palestinian children in Gaza are playing in the garbage, illiterate and the children of Lebanon are witnessing another war. Peace on earth.
38. WAHHABIS
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON UK   (07.21.06)
If indeed a 'fatwa' against the Hizbullah has been issued by the remnants Wahhabis in Saudi Arabia then it is nothing to talk about.Typical performance on their part.In fact,very soon, the local Saudis will react against this 'fatwa' and yet another victory for Iran,the country which has constantly been reminding the local Saudis about the true colours of Wahhabis.The 'fatwa' has no value to the local Saudis nor to any neighbouring countries where Wahhabism is despised but the locals of those countries are literally frightened to say anything against them.Wake up,the Saudi brothers and act openly against these remnants......Wahhabis.
39. There are signs of Sunni-Shiite waring throughout Arab/Islam
David ,   Boston, USA   (07.21.06)
While I am no expert. It does appear that some of the antagonism by Shiites and Sunnis is bubbling up again in Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia. While I am sure most of them are for Israel. I am also sure that many of them hate each other. The question is how many of them will support Israel because it benefits them against each other and how many with support each other against Israel? As for people commenting on this site, The article makes sense. What it doesnt really touch upon is how it impacts larger populations.
40. the Wahabis???
shi'it ,   CA   (07.21.06)
thanks for removing your mask off, so we know who is our inside enemy. so should we expect the next fatwa to be in favourit of the zionist, I wouldn't be surprised.
41. reply to Nannett
Lebanese father ,   lebanon   (07.21.06)
This is absolutely Not correct, i have a lot of lebanese friends who are married to christans and we live side by side with our Cristans friends. You guys and most of the western world are completely "ignorant" about how is the Arab world, your media is giving you only what your goverment want you to see. And the worst things being done is that you generalize any act to the whole arabs!!
42. THE ENEMY IS IRAN--NOT ISRAEL
DEBRA ,   USA   (07.21.06)
SAUDI ARABIA, EGYPT, JORDAN AND BAHRAIN HAVE COME OUT AGAINST HIZBULLAH. THEY HAVE FINALLY REALIZED THEIR ENEMY IS IRAN AND NOT ISRAEL.
43. WAHHABIS........SHEIKH JABREEN
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON UK   (07.21.06)
This sheikh by the name of Abdullah Bin Jabreen is one of the signitories to a 'fatwa' calling Shias as infidels.Something interesting all readers....................infidels are NOT allowed in the precincts of Holy places in Mecca and Medina, yet this coward Sheikh Jabreen is unable to STOP Shias performing Haj even after calling them infidels.I am not surprised of his present 'fatwa' against the Hizbullahs.He will get handful of congratulatory messages of his likes in the rotting 'madressas' of Wahhabis in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
44. Umma -- only Thurman please
BS meter ,   Canada   (07.21.06)
The thought of an Umma and Caliphate make me shudder. For all those on the left who thought capitalism was bad, wait til we have to deal more extensively with these maniacs. What precisely are the "umma's interests" #28? To behead all of us who are "infidels"? To subjugate us to your 7th century visions? Everybody (and I mean the left here again) who thought they were fighting imperialism by being anti-American, all you were doing was fighting on behalf of the worst kind of colonialism and imperialism that has ever existed. I say fight them wherever we encounter them, and don't let a single one into a western country again. Let them live their Umma in the 22 countries they already colonized.
45. TO # 20 - YES - PALESTINE - JOIN ISRAEL - PLEASE READ
ANDREW ,   MIAMI,FL   (07.21.06)
Start thinking about this future, and I think that tomorrow will look wonderfull - take these words and spread them 1) The old israel and the old palestine are beginning to shed their skins so to speak - they will evolve into one country called "Jerusalem" "Al-quds" (never in its history has it ever been a country - it has always been a city) Why? Because they both cannot bare to SPLIT the space, but both would rather share, and integrate, and realise the true nature of their relationship 2) The "two state solution" is incorrect - HOWEVER - both nationalitys must be represented, yet not set against one another – ISRAEL AND PALESTINE ARE JERUSALEMS / ALQUDS INDIGINOUS STEWARDS Why? Because this joins them in a purpose - the glue that will always insure that that the well being of the country far outweighs the nationalist needs of two different tribes 3) The religious authority of the country: To galvanise all religion, the "council of faith" – will be made up of elected clerics wh are masters of all 3 books – rather than having three different masters of one book haggling with one another why? Everyone will trust them
46. That's Fantastic Advice!
Bill ,   Moscow   (07.21.06)
Here is fantastic advice for all of you readers: It is not from me. It is from the Creator of everything! And G-d gives His advice to everyone as to how they should treat Israel, as He told this to Abraham (the very first Jew): Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. So you all have a choice. Be a curse to Israel and incur the curse of God upon your life. -- OR -- Be a blessing to Israel and incur the blessing of God upon your life. (You might not believe God, but you won't prove Him wrong. Try it and see!)
47. Miss Muslima
Jennifer ,   Nahariya Israel   (07.21.06)
Is Islam so democratic that you can pick and choose your fatwas? Or do you claim to be more knowledgable than the Saudi Wahhabi cleric??? If living in an islamic caliphate is so important to you, what are you doing in the UK. Could it be that you don't practice what you preach???
48. To #2 KS fron Lebanon
Ran ,   Israel   (07.21.06)
It's funny that you and all the stupid people in Lebanon are still supporting the Hezbollah. It's funny You are sure that Hezbollah is protecting Lebanon - sorry I have to say that, but you are extremely stupid. Who do you think started this month's conflict? Israel? Well, my damb neighbor, the answer is NO. Hezbollah is the responsible for the death of up to 300 Lebanese people and the destraction of Lebanon. You found an enemy to mess with...
49. ANSWER TO #47
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON UK   (07.21.06)
I don't understand your talk-back at all Jennifer?All I said is about the Wahhabi 'fatwa' and apprised you exactly who the Wahahabis are.What has my staying in UK got to do with living in Islamic country.I am very much at home in UK by the Grace of God and practice my religion without any impendiments.Jennifer, read about who the Wahhabis are and their origin.May be that will interest you rather than writing crap that noone understands.
50. peace?
Grant ,   Vero Beach, FL US   (07.21.06)
and they call this a peaceful religion? with peace like this, who needs war!
51. TO # 48
JO ,   LEBANON   (07.21.06)
Nasrallah will be (and he is) in each house of your stupid (dahhh) zionist country and be the man that all your 5 generations will talk about
52. correct me if I am wrong
(07.21.06)
Iran and Syria financed and sent Hebollah to attack Isreal now, Beirut is destroyed not Theran or Damascus who is stupid ?
53. Stop! Why you no pay attention to me!
Kim Jon-Il ,   DPRNK   (07.21.06)
You bad, bad people! I shoot missle and no one pay attention to me?! Maybe I shoot missle again! Eh? Then maybe I get my attention back! Dammit!!! Why this always happen when I start to get noticed again? God I hate those Muslims!!! Stay out of my spotlight!!!
54. You're an animal
ISRAELI ,   boston,ma   (07.21.06)
How can you support an organization that kidnaps 20 year olds? kills children at play and elders in the hospital?have you no heart? no soul? CLEARLY U DONT. Of course you support the Hizbuallah you must be mindless just like them. You must not have children or parents to be this inhumane. You have to look around and realize the only people supporting your rediculous organization are rediculous themselves. Is it worth to you to see ALL (hopefully) your soldiers die and your country be destroyed just for the sake of your sadistic enjoyment? If so you dont love your own kind and are simply an animal. However im sure everyone here can see that by your own words. Read a book, travel, fall in love, have children and maybe then you'll be able to think of better solutions than home made bombs.
55. WOW, UNEDUCATED
ZIONIST ,   BOSTON,MA   (07.21.06)
#32 YOU ARE CLEARLY UNEDUCATED. WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE ZIONIST MOVEMENT THAT YOU ARE SO AFRAID OF? WEALTHY, WELL EDUCATED, GOOD LOOKING JEWS HAVING THEIR OWN COUNTRY? WE'RE NOT THREATENING TO DESTROY ANYTHING OR ANYONE WE GAVE THOSE TOWELHEAD OUR LAND. WE'VE ENDURED BOMBINGS FOR DECADES. ALL WE WANT IS A COUNTRY WHERE MORONS LIKE YOU DONT HAVE MAJORITY. HOW CAN YOU (BEING FRENCH) SUPPORT A GROUP OF MONKEYS WITH GUNS? I MEAN REALLY. I LOVE FRANCE- I SPEAK THE LANGUAGE, TRAVEL THERE, EAT THERE IVE EVEN LIVED THERE. I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW SUCH GREAT PEOPLE CAN SUPPORT ANIMALS? IMAGINE IF UR BORDERING COUNTRIES GANGED UP ON YUO AND BOMBED YOUR LAND, CHILDREN,WOMEN AND SOLDIERS. HOW LONG WOULD JACQUE SHIRAQ PUT UP WITH IT? WOULD U GIVE THEM LYON? OR COTE D'AZUR? I DONT THINK SO. BUT WE DID. AND YOU, YOU UNGRATEFUL HUMANS SUPPORT THEM? MAY GOD HELP YOU. YOU'RE A WEAK ENTITY COMPARED TO THE ZIONIST ENTITY. GATHER YOUR THUGHTS, READ A BOOK, FIND OUT SOME FACTS AND THEN RE EVALUATE YOUR STANDS- NOT JUST FOR OIL OR MONETARY BENEFITS BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THIS WORLD AND MILLIONS OF LIVES.

59. Fight until the last Lebanease
niceGuy ,   World   (07.21.06)
It seems that some of the Arab talkbackers are willing to fight until the last Lebanease.
60. Message for both Hizbollah and Isreal
Marc ,   Hamilton, Canada   (07.21.06)
Come on people, what's taking so long? I've been waiting for almost 19 years for judgement day. It seems to be getting close, but I'm starting to get impatient. Please, all of you, just launch all of your bombs as far as you can in whatever direction you please. If possible, try to hit countries known to have plenty of military strength, and pass on my message to them. Do everything you possibly can to get the U.S. to launch some of their 10 000 nukes. (I've heard rumours that if you tickle George Bush in the right spot on his neck, he gets kinda violent. Try it.) If all goes well, everyone will be involved by next weekend, and then maybe we can set a date for judgement day. I'm thinking the Thursday after next is a good target. Come on, let's go for it.
