Grand mufti: Leaders must act against Hezbollah now
Saudi Arabia's highest religious figure praised a leading Sunni Muslim scholar on Thursday for his condemnation of Hezbollah following its intervention in Syria.
Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah al-Sheikh's words add to the growing criticism of Hezbollah by Sunni authorities, underlining the sectarian aspect of Syria's civil war where mostly Sunni rebels are fighting President Bashar Assad, a member of the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam. He also called on scholars and politicians to act to stop Hezbollah's “aggression." (Reuters)
