[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]There are frequent queries about why Muslims leaders don't condemn violence conducted in the name of Islam. Where here is an important and unexpected example of that happening:

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/M/ML_LEBANON_HEZBOLLAH_PARIS_ATTACK?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

"The leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah group says Islamic extremists have insulted Islam and the Prophet Muhammad more than those who published satirical cartoons mocking the religion."

"Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah did not directly mention the Paris attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo that left 12 people dead, but he said Islamic extremists who behead and slaughter people - a reference to the IS group's rampages in Iraq and Syria - have done more harm to Islam than anyone else in history."

No, really????
Did it occur to you that it's because Hezbollah is a Shi'a paramilitary group and that ISIS's number one goal as a Saudi backed movement is to rid the world of Shi'a's once and for all? So the Shi'a's are running s*** scared. Sounds like a desperation move to me.

Reminds me of Tom Lehrer's National Brotherhood Week:

Okay, so you would frame this as "Muslim leader speaks out against violence committed by rival Muslim group", right? Guess what? That still says that a Muslim leader has spoken out against violence committed by Muslims. Isn't that what everybody has been asking for? Do you also want him to hop on one leg while balancing a candle on his nose while he says it?

This is an example of why nobody ever seems to know about Muslims speaking about against violence committed by Muslims. They do it all the time but it gets ignored or written off as "desperation".

It's Hezbollah we're talking about. If you don't think they endorse violence by Muslims on a regular basis I have a bridge to sell you. There are plenty of Muslims who speak out against violence, like the Palestinian doctor who had been building ties with Israel his whole life and whose family was killed in an Israeli bombing raid in a very well publicized story a few years ago. But Hezbollah ain't it.
I'm the Franco-American poster with Muslim ancestry who's been arguing continuously with Muslima, and I dislike all religions equally. I've spent most of my life making apologies for Muslims, because they don't get equal representation around here (although I'm done--the "they asked for it" argument the last few days did it for me).
I'm simply pointing out that a brutal demagogue's statement is not proof of sincerity.[/quote]
