Washington, 16 August, (Asiantribune.com): The Bangladesh government named a
new bridge Hezbollah. The bridge is located in the southern part of the
South Asian country, spanning the Batakhali River in an area known as Cox’s
Bazaar. Junior communications minister Salahuddin Ahmed named the bridge
after the Lebanese group at the height of Hezbollah’s war with Israel.
“I named the bridge Hezbollah because of our love for the Lebanese
resistance group,” Ahmed told the French news agency, AFP.
“Hezbollah is the only group which is fighting Israel and the bridge is
named after the group as a mark of honor.”
Although the United States has identified Hezbollah as a terrorist group,
and the Bangladesh government has been trying to convince US lawmakers that
it is a “moderate” Muslim country, the government has taken no action to
revoke the honor.
During Hezbollah’s recent war with Israel, several Arab and Muslim countries
were muted in their condemnations of the Jewish state and equivocal about
supporting Hezbollah. Bangladesh’s Foreign Minister M. Morshed Khan issued
several strong statements on the war, calling Israel’s actions ‘state
terrorism’ and ‘religious terrorism’ and accusing the United States of
sponsoring it. Bangladesh Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia, however, made no
public statements condemning Israel or the United States.
Comment:
While the Muslim masses in a variety of different ways supported HizbAllah in their war against the illigitamate Israeli state, the so called Muslim rulers sat back and gave tacit support to the murderers of innocent civilians. If a militia movement like HizbAllah can inflict so much fear and panic in the hearts and minds of the Zionists by shooting a few thousand unaccurate katoushas just imagine what the combined armies of the Muslim countires can do under a sincere Islamic leadership?
Re: Bangladesh honors "Hezbollah" with bridge naming
I thought, the Muslims rulers (although looked ignorant) let their own masses protest on huge scales.
I mean, i've been watching AryOneWorld and they basically said everything they wanted against Zion... I didn't think Pakistani Government would allow that but there you go.
