The chief sponsor of HizbAllah is Syria who illegally occupies Lebanon and is responsible for the ethnic cleansing of its Christian population. The Beqaa Valley in Lebanon is under the control of Syria's ruling family, the Assad's, hosts major terror groups and provides staging areas and weapons, and also produces much of the heroin reaching the United States. For the United States to consider working with Syria in a war against terror is a Faustian bargain. - Anonymized for your protection] Al-Liwaa’ Daily September 17 2001 C.E. In his first interview following the Attacks in Washington and New York Sayyed Fadlullah says to Al-Liwaa’ Daily: The American administration is in a state a weightlessness. Islam rejects terrorism regardless of its source, but we must differentiae between terrorist and liberation movements. Following are excerpts from the interview: Q: How do you read the suicide bombings in New York and Washington? A: When you analyze an event of this magnitude, you have to study the policies of the major power (America) and the frustrations and anger they generate as a result of their oppressive nature. These policies have generated a state of hatred among the weakened whether Muslim or not. Moreover one cannot exclude those in America and Europe who demonstrated against globalization and the super powers. Therefore, what happened in America is related to the oppressive policies of the U.S. in the third world and the Middle East in particular. The present administration has supported Israel in a rude manner, and gave Sharon a freehand to wipe out the Palestinian people. On the other hand, America itself is the country of terrorism. I am not talking about the organized terror of the stat, but about the level of crime in the American society, as well as the existence of irrational terrorist organizations, like the one that bombed the state building in Oklahoma of which the Arabs and Muslims were initially accused. Q: How do you explain that the Muslims and Arabs were accused as soon as the news broke out? A: There are two reasons. First: The American Media is controlled by the Zionists, and those Zionists chose a name that is well known in the West to pronounce as a [terrorist]. The Second: The American officials, especially those in charge of security, felt that the Americans and the world public opinion were demanding the disclose the identity of those who executed the operation so they decided to give them. a Muslim and Arab name. Q: How do you view the bombing from the religious and political points of view? A :from the point of view of Islamic law, there is nothing that justifies these acts, for they are targeting innocents, as a result of political differences. That is why I said that these are suicide operations and not martyr ones. On the political level, I cannot envisage that such an action could be beneficial. Because as things turned out, they made America enjoy the support of all the world including Arab and Muslim states and even religions cultural and political institutions. The noise and smoke those operations had made veiled the American hostile policies in the eyes of the world. Some people might think that such a blow will tempt America to review its policies, but this is not the case, as America is now like an injured bell whose reaction will be more brutal and violent. Q: What is the difference between targeting civilians in Israel and in America? A: there is a big difference; in Palestine it is a question of self – defense being the only way the Palestinians can drive the Israelis into a security impasse. Q: Where do you think will the battlefield be? A: I believe that America knows that it cannot end terrorism whatever it does, therefore what America is trying to do now in restoring its pride and its ability to radiate fear. America thus will look for any enemy and strike him, and it will probably choose a weak enemy to intimidate the stronger ones. I also believe that NATO is looking now for ways to settle its accounts with several countries. slogan of war against terrorism to wage a war against the weakened peoples and the Third World. ------------------------ Yahoo!
