Iranian Majlis: Hizbullah Leader Nasrallah – The Sun Of The Muslim World

In response to Egyptian attacks on Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah, 176 members of Iran’s Majlis issued an announcement stating that Nasrallah enlightened the Muslim world like the sun, and that Egypt’s opposition to him was like betrayal of the Muslim nation.

Intel report: Hizbullah may strike in US

Posted on December 25, 2008 5:44:10 PM PST by Flavius

Homeland Security Threat Assessment for the years 2008-2013 says Hizbullah may foment terror attack in US if there is some kind of ‘triggering’ event. ‘The threat of terrorism and the threat of extremist ideologies have not abated,” Chertoff says Associated Press

The terrorism threat to the United States over the next five years will be driven by instability in the Middle East and Africa, persistent challenges to border security and increasing Internet savvy, says a new intelligence assessment obtained by The Associated Press.

Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear attacks are considered the most dangerous threats that could be carried out against the US but those threats are also the most unlikely because it is so difficult for al-Qaeda and similar groups to acquire the materials needed to carry out such plots, according to the internal Homeland Security Threat Assessment for the years 2008-2013.

Kinda funny listening to shias and sunis argue. Suni says real muslims don’t tear their hair out in anguish while shia says that slicing oneself isn’t the way of islam.

Idiots all around.

In Egypt, Lawsuit Demands to Revoke License of Al-Manar TV

In the wake of the exposure of the Hizbullah cell in Egypt, a lawsuit has been filed in Egypt demanding to take Hizbullah’s Al-Manar TV off the air, and to revoke its license to broadcast on the Egyptian satellite channel Nilesat. The lawsuit stated that “the Shi’ite channel Al-Manar, Hizbullah’s mouthpiece, has lately begun to air false reports about Egypt, and to describe it as a U.S. agent and as working to promote Jewish interests and the Zionist agenda…”

LOL! Watching Sunnis and Shi'ites fight calls for popcorn. I hear Hamas, Fatah, and Islamic Jihad are in a three-way duel as well. Let them fight. Maybe they'll knock a few of each other off so we won't have to.

It's so pathetic it's funny, really. All this bickering and fighting for 1400 years over a dispute of whether Abu Bakr or Ali should've been the caliph!

This would be even more funny if Nasrallah were in little tiny pieces.
