Re: Hezbollah Leader Vows to Fight on Behalf of Syrian Regime
Hezbollah gets on really well with Christians
And Al-Qaeda gets on really well with Jews.
So basically, we Muslims are caught up between the lovers/followers of Christians and Jews.

No sister, Al Qaeda are a indiscriminate bunch. They like to kill them all (mind you, when you bomb a market you hardly get to choose). Actually, if you follow their preachers and jihad-manuals then they actually love Shia and Jew blood particularly more (may be because in the world of Al Qaeda Shia are Jews in disguise, followers of Abdullah ibne Saba).
Re: Hezbollah Leader Vows to Fight on Behalf of Syrian Regime
Sister, I hate Asad too but take the news with pinch of salt. If people are not allowed to leave then who are the refugees that are pouring into Lebanon (and shown on the likes of Al Manar TV) and how did population of Qusary went down from 107,000 to 15,000 people (including the fighters) that are left within?
Re: Hezbollah Leader Vows to Fight on Behalf of Syrian Regime
Good to know that.
I think you are confusing Qusayr District with Qusayr city.
Al-Qusayr District - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Al-Qusayr, Syria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The district has population of 107,000. The city’s population is between 25,000 to 30,000.
While, around 2-3 million people have taken refuge in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Qatar etc…there are news from unbiased sources that there are 900 women and children trapped in the city without any water and electricity. There is no denying of that!
True, borther. But let’s analyse it in the light of your own post. You said Hezbollah is liked by Christians. Is it Christians from just Lebanon or the whole wide world? Obviously, it’s the Lebanese ones, and their basis for liking Hezbollah isn’t based on morality, it’s based on nationalism. If you ask the Christians of UK and USA, they will have a total opposite opinion regarding Hezbollah.
And Al-Qaeda is supported or liked by Jews in a sense that according to most posters here the jihadists are supported by US and US is pro-Israel.
Also, I don’t think what Hezbollah is doing (supporting Assad and killing Syrian rebels) is in accordance with Hezbollah’s policies. This is not what Hezbollah stands for and this isn’t what the Sunni world once supported this organization.
Re: Hezbollah Leader Vows to Fight on Behalf of Syrian Regime
Thank you for the correction. But as numbers suggest, it is not accurate to say that Hezbollah (or Baathi army) is stopping people from leaving. Yes they might be trapped inside due to fighting as told to TV stations by people seen coming out. Very sad case still.
Where did the Christians of the world come from in relation to my comment? of course my point and the article from TIME was specifically talking about Christians of Lebanon. Christians elsewhere int he world have nothing to do with Hezbollah as they are a Lebanese political party and not like Al Qaeda that wants to capture the world and run khilafa.
US's policy of supporting Jihadis is well known and so well documented now that it will be a waste of time to even discuss that. As for Al Qaeda, they got no sympathy for a dead companion of a Prophet, let alone Sunnis, Sufis, Shias, Barelvis, or even cucumbers and tomatoes which they told stall owners in Iraq to stop selling because they resemble human organs and encourage vice in the society! and I am not even kidding.
The term Sunni world again is a very loose term sister just like the Christian world it is not one single cohesive community unfortunately. We will wait and see what price Hezbollah will pay for this but I agree that there sure will be price.

Re: Hezbollah Leader Vows to Fight on Behalf of Syrian Regime
Here is the Al Qaeda boys doing what they do best which is to destroy and too a memorial of Prophet Ibrahim. Ironic is the fact that they themselves are calling it the ‘place of Ibrahim’ yet destroying it.

The video is showing a digger bashing the side of a building … The tomb of Ibrahim (AS) is in Hebron, occupied Palestine … How can the FSA be in Palestine? Don’t you think they have other matters to attend to?
That is true … It is totally ironic … Sort of like made for a good propaganda film ironic …
Re: Hezbollah Leader Vows to Fight on Behalf of Syrian Regime
^see my earlier post on this page for description and exact location of the video. If you wish to see pictures of this maqam then do request and I will upload them later. By the way another mosque or maqam gone down earlier is Ammar Yasir the companion of Prophet pbuh. That was made over his place of residence or stay while he was in Syria. That was brought down with the chants of Allahu Akbar too, ironically. Its the favorite sport of these al qaeda brothers.

What about the bombing of the Blue Mosque in Iraq by Al Qaeda.
Lets fact it.
Sunni extremists like al Qaeda respect no other religion but Sunni Muslims and infact are quite willing to kill other Sunni Muslims who are not as extremist as them.
How many Shia suicide bombers have killed Sunnis?
I am Sunni, but Sunni extremists like al Qaeda are a far greater threat to the world than Shias.
Re: Hezbollah Leader Vows to Fight on Behalf of Syrian Regime
Lets not lose our focus from Syria.
So hezbollah is in it just to protect the maqamat? Who are you kidding, eh?

You say maqam ... But can you please explain if you think this maqam is the same thing as the tomb (burial chamber) of Sayyidina Ibrahim (AS) ... Because the last time I checked the burial chamber is in Hebron, in occupied Palestine. The location of the video is not important to me ... It's the location of the actual real burial chambers of Ibrahim (AS) that I am referring to ...
I mean in that video there was this chubby looking man ... The sort who has probably never seen a battlefield ... But anyway ... I am not contesting the people ... yet ... I am however surprised that the prophet Ibrahim's (AS) tomb can be both in Syria and Palestine at the same time.
Re: Hezbollah Leader Vows to Fight on Behalf of Syrian Regime
No, maqamat and shrines are protected by a group such as Al Abbas Bridage. You can and meet those guys here, Abul Fadhl al-Abbas Brigade, Sayyedah Zaynab(A), Damascus, Syria - Report By RT Arabic - Eng Subs - YouTube
Hezbollah is in it for the reasons given by Nasrallah in his address last week. Basically, according to him, they were in it for their own survival as the takfiri boys will eventually come after Lebanon. I suggest you listen to this debate on RT about Hezbollah’s involvement in the battle,
Re: Hezbollah Leader Vows to Fight on Behalf of Syrian Regime
Maqam or place is basically a place associated with somebody and not necessarily a burial site. Such as neighborhood of Bani Hashim in Mecca is often call Maqam e Bani Hashim. Or in Masjid of Kufa there is maqam e Noah where supposedly Prophet Noah stayed. Or within masjde haraam there is maqam e Ibrahim which is a place where Ibrahim stood and prayed to God while he built Kaaba. So this particular site we are talking about is associated with Prophet Ibrahim by the memory of him staying in the place with his wife Sara. It was a site of pilgrims that were predominantly Shia. I will attach a couple of photos of the place I found online.
About the fat guy, well not every takfiri or takfiri supporter is a warrior. Imagine all those fat sheikhs of Qatar and Saudi who finance them, they carry massive bellies. And then we can not say for certain that a fat dude is barred from fighting by Al Qaeda.
Re: Hezbollah Leader Vows to Fight on Behalf of Syrian Regime
Peace Pathan Bhai
That’s what I thought … These maqamat are not grave sites … The killing of people by the Assad Regime is far worse than anything like taking down a building in an area which is a maqam. You see the maqam does not go away … It is still there … There would just be no structure there … And I agree if the structure is old like relic old then it acquires its own importance, but no museum piece is equal to the life of one drop of blood of a Muslim in my understanding. Not even the holiest sanctuaries of Makkah and Madinah are … So please when you guys complain about the ransacking of the Nusra … Make it very clear what is happening and being something worthy of comparison. I am not from their fold … But you must be reasonable enough to see the real hardship is coming form the existing regime in Syria.
I didn’t say the fat dude is barred from fighting … But the fighters you will see are not fat, they can’t be fat because they wouldn’t be able to move properly. That man is just some random local or otherwise anchor for this particular clip.
Re: Hezbollah Leader Vows to Fight on Behalf of Syrian Regime
^you need to follow the context of discussion as we never were comparing Asad's army with al Qaeda to start of with. But if you want me to do that then I consider both to be almost equally ruthless and savage in terms of dealing with what the consider their enemy. Baathi army will destroy mosques without hesitation too. And by the way I do consider life of a human to be of greater significance than a historic site of importance so no qualms there.

Syrian rebels, Hezbollah in deadly fight in Lebanon: sources | Reuters
By Dominic Evans
BEIRUT | Sun Jun 2, 2013 7:09am EDT
(Reuters) - Several fighters were killed in an overnight clash between Hezbollah fighters and Syrian rebel forces in Lebanon’s eastern border region with Syria, Lebanese security sources said on Sunday.
One source said 15 rebels were killed in the fighting east of the Bekaa Valley town of Baalbek, but the exact toll would not be clear until bodies could be retrieved from the remote and rugged border area. One Hezbollah fighter also died, he said.
Syria’s two-year-old conflict has increasingly sucked in its smaller neighbor, with deadly fighting shaking the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli and rockets hitting the Bekaa Valley and southern Beirut.
Guerrillas from Shi’ite Muslim Hezbollah, which supports the Iranian-backed President Bashar al-Assad, are fighting alongside his army to drive rebels from the Syrian border town of Qusair, while Lebanese Sunni Muslim fighters have joined the anti-Assad revolt.
The latest fighting took place near Ain el-Jaouze in a finger of Lebanese territory which extends into Syria. The sources said the rebels may have been ambushed as they set up rockets to fire into Shi’ite areas of the Bekaa Valley.
Rebels have said they will carry out attacks inside Lebanon in response to Hezbollah’s support for Assad’s assault on Qusair, a strategic town for rebel weapons supplies and fighters coming into Syria from Lebanon.
The United Nations said on Saturday that up to 1,500 wounded people might be trapped inside Qusair and warned all sides that they would be held accountable for the suffering of civilians.
But Security Council diplomats said Russia blocked a council declaration of alarm over the two-week siege of Qusair, arguing that the council had done nothing when the town was first taken over by anti-Assad fighters.
The draft statement also urged forces loyal to Assad and rebels trying to oust him “to do their utmost to avoid civilian casualties and for the Syrian Government to exercise its responsibility to protect civilians”.
It appealed to Assad’s government “to allow immediate, full and unimpeded access to impartial humanitarian actors, including U.N. agencies, to reach civilians trapped in al-Qusair”.
Moscow’s move to block the statement highlights the deep chasm between Russia and Western nations on how to deal with the war in Syria despite joint efforts by Washington and Moscow to convene a peace conference on Syria.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius suggested on Sunday that the conference could take place in July. He said the Syrian government and the opposition must attend what he called “the last chance” for a negotiated solution.
“It’s not just about getting round the table and then asking what are we going to talk about. It needs to be prepared. That is why I say that the July date would be suitable,” Fabius said.
Assad has lost control of large areas of northern and eastern Syria but his forces have been fighting fierce counter-offensives in the south and centre of the country, including Damascus, Deraa and Qusair.
The fighting has strengthened Assad’s hand ahead of the proposed peace talks, which the 47-year-old leader says he supports in principle. However he has dampened prospects of any transfer of his powers to a transitional government - a central element of efforts to secure a political solution. Assad’s opponents have also yet to commit to the peace talks.
The uprising against Assad, from the Alawite minority which is an offshoot of Shi’ite Islam, has killed at least 80,000 people, driven 1.5 million refugees across its borders and fuelled regional sectarian tensions.
Leading Sunni Muslim cleric Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi, based in Qatar which has led regional pressure for Assad’s overthrow, called on Saturday for holy war against the Syrian government after intervention by Hezbollah, whose name in Arabic means the Party of God.

Re: Hezbollah Leader Vows to Fight on Behalf of Syrian Regime
What a mess the opposition has made of Syria by opting to wage war and be led by wahabism inspired cannibals. Labanese will be mad not to stop them before they start to fight to destabilize Lebanon in big way.
Re: Hezbollah Leader Vows to Fight on Behalf of Syrian Regime
Interview with Sufi Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi ( first Syrian scholar to speak against Assad regime) and leader of Movement for Building Civilization …his take on Nusra.
Speaking of that, you issued a very compassionate and sensitive statement of sympathy for the victims of the Boston bombing: knowing that al-Qaida would not share your attitude of compassion, but in fact advocates the use of that tactic for political gain, how did you feel about the announcement that Jabhat al-Nusra is al-Qaida?
I’m not surprised. The ideology is the same. The ideology is against mainstream Islam. And I would stress that this is a sect now. This ideology does not represent 1.5 billion Muslims and it is contrary to the rulings of the four Sunni madhabs on jihad, on going against oppressive rulers or non-Muslim rulers, and on contracts and truces between countries. It’s not about whether I like the U.S. or don’t like it—this is something else. I may agree with U.S. policies or disagree with U.S. policies, but I cannot legally put any Muslim country at war with the U.S. There is not a single Muslim country at war with the U.S. now (or the UK, or France, or any of these “Western targets” of al-Qaida). So legally, I have to say that when they [Westerners] visit us, we have to safeguard their property and respect their freedom; when we visit there or live there we have to respect the same; Muslims don’t stab in the back. So there’s no justification for their ideology at all.
So Jabhat al-Nusra joining al-Qaida, as I said, really destroyed its own reputation in Syria, its future in Syria.
But they didn’t join it; they revealed that their group was created by or in conjunction with al-Qaida. And not only that, but they are Syrian, and the members who would later form al-Nusra were working with al-Qaida in Iraq during the Iraq war. That’s right. They gave bay’ah. Giving bay’ah is like joining. They are part of it now. They under the command of Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Why did he decide to reveal this now? It seemed that al-Nusra weren’t ready to announce this, but Ayman al-Zawahiri—
To be honest they are to be asked this question, but from what I read, there was a conflict between al-Qaida in Iraq… and al-Nusra in Syria. So they didn’t want to give allegiance to the Iraqi wing of al-Qaida…
Regardless, they all represent the Devil, I believe. The damage they do to Islam is much worse than that done by any outside force or group or anything that could be imagined, and it’s our responsibility as religious leaders—doctors of the law, theologians—to explain what Islam is. I’m not afraid… I’ve been known, probably, quite well, for criticizing Western policies in the past, but now I ask for Western intervention [because of the extremists]. [smiling] Because we really have to see what’s right and what’s wrong. Ok, I can criticize Western democracy—this is my right, just as many Western and American professors and politicians criticize Western policies.

Iran cuts Hamas funding over Syria - Telegraph
Hezbollah taught tactics to Hamas, and now Hamas is teaching the same tactics to Nusra (Qaeda).

Hezbollah fighters find Nusra’s tactics in Qusair ‘irritatingly familiar’
Both Jawad and Mahdi confirmed that many of their comrades were killed in ambushes that were strikingly similar to tactics Hezbollah originally devised when it fought the Israeli army in south Lebanon during the occupation and later on during the 2006 summer war.
“There’s a kind of irritating familiarity,” Jawad noted. “Hezbollah taught Hamas all those tactics to fight the Israelis. Hamas apparently decided to transfer their experience to takfiri groups.”
This demonstrates, according to Jawad, that Hezbollah did not have a sectarian agenda.
“We transferred our experience to a Sunni group – Hamas – and they used it train groups that are now fighting us,” he said.
