Hassan Nasrallah Quotes


Al Qaeda is an entity trapped in medieval ages and bent on killing innocent Muslims.


Context

This quotation illustrates the dissentions that exist between the various Islamic terrorist organizations. The Secretary General of Hezbollah herein castigates the rival and more religiously fundamentalist Al Qaeda for killing innocent Muslims. Not only do neither mind killing innocent people who are not Muslims, but Hezbollah indiscriminately fires rockets into Israeli populated areas and has killed innocent Muslims, Christians and Jews. Further, Hezbollah will force Muslim citizens of Lebanon to store arms and allow rocked firing from their properties and institutions like schools, mosques, and hospitals, knowing perfectly well that they minute they do this, under the Geneva conventions, those homes or institutions become a legal target for retaliatory attacks, artillery, air strikes or ground forces and that innocent Muslim civilians would be killed. The levels of terrorist subtlety is difficult for Westerners to comprehend.

Both Islamic terrorists and anti-terrorist Muslims believe that they are following the world of God. Which group is the “hijacker” can be argued either way which is why the “hijack” notion turns out not to be very useful, However, despite intense pockets and even countries where the terrorist view of Islam is in the majority, the majority of Muslims in the world reject the terrorist interpretation of Islam.
