Syrian Mufti Warns of Lebanese, Syrian Suicide Bombers if West Attacks Syria
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Syria's Grand Mufti Ahmad Badreddin Hassoun, the country's highest religious authority, has warned Europe, the United States and Israel of suicide bombings if they attack his country.
"From the first round fired, the sons of Syria and Lebanon will become fighters who will carry out suicide attacks on the land of Europe and Palestine," the mufti said in a speech viewed on the Internet video-sharing website YouTube.
"I say to Europe and the United States, we will prepare the fedayeen (fighters) if you strike Syria, because now it's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," the top Sunni cleric warned.
"Do not come to our country, I beg you, because our country is the land of light," he told Western powers.
On October 2, a son of the grand mufti, Saria Hussein, was killed along with a history professor by "armed terrorist gangs," the official SANA news agency reported.
Activists said that Hussein died after being wounded in a shooting by unknown assailants north of the city of Saraqeb, in northwestern Idlib province.
Syria has been rocked by unprecedented protests since mid-March against President Bashar al-Assad's regime, which is dominated by his minority Alawite Islamic sect.
The United Nations says more than 2,900 people have been killed in the resulting crackdown on dissent.

On what basis is this guy talking? Does he have a militia or is he pretending to be with Assad while in reality he is trying to infiltrate Assad? He is in NO position to say what he did. Why is he becoming militarized when he is supposed to be just a religious clerk?

I was wondering why aren't the suicide bomber that are the hallmark of the al Qaeda and similar Sunni jihadists terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, targeting the pro Assad forces, turns out they are not targeting the pro Assad forces because they pro Assad. I kinda suspected tit after all Bashar was sending Sunni jihadists terrorists to Iraq through his border, sectarian strife in Iraq was a good thing I guess it helped the Iranians gain a firm foothold there.

One of the Syrian Regime's appointed criminal mouthpieces no doubt. This turd preaches hatred, murder, and terrorism out loud. That's what you get in the Criminal Assad regime Syria. He's paid with treasure and intimidation to stab the free Syians of his community in the back. Disgusting indeed!! Of Course this Assad Regime mouthpiece does not even represent the Free Syria much less Lebanon, he is but another expendable slave to the Assad family regime.and a traitor to his own community and people. Every community has one (Aoun, Wahab, Mikati, Nasrallah, Berri, Franjieh, ....)

Isn't sad that the arabs continue to resort to history to prove a point because they have nothing to be proud off presently to rely on. Why is this guy injecting the Ummayad Dynasty in this speech, it is irrelevant to his threats. His demeanor and body language suggest to me he is blowing hot air, arabs are great at threatening but lack execution. When the regime falls, this mufti will be the first to endorse the new regime with speeches that have this high pitch to them as well. He is just a brown nose.

Notice the two Assad Thugs from either side of this Stooge, they seem to be listening carefully to every word he says, much like making sure he reads and does not diverge from the text he was probably given by them. His prepared speech is meant to confuse the free Syrians and the free world. The Death of his son on the hands of the Assad regime thugs may have intimidated him into saying what he is, but either way the guy lacks a pair and is a disgrace to all of the free Syrians, and is justifying his cowardness by talking absolute nonsense. One cannot but be amazed that the Assad mouthpiece state TV is broadcasting his prepared speech, it is quite obvious that it is one of Assad's "Damascuswood" productions...

This fool has divulged a state secret! does he mean that Syria has terrorists under its command? where the terrorists who were blowing themselves up in Iraq all under the Syrian command?
Now they are drafted to defend the Syrian regime.
By the way aren't they the same extremists that the Syrian regime, according to some high religious figure, is supposed to be protecting us from?

Looking at the email from Zionists , Americans of Lebanese descent, and others shows that you have only been fed the pro-western zionist view of the world. First of all, the western invaders are the biggest terrorists and biggest killers of civilians...not the persons of the former colonized countries. The west are not stupid enough to intervene because it would only help the Syrian regime. The west will not attack a country that has strong missal defense system and an Air force. This is political propaganda to help the regime after the Salafists murdered his son because he is supporting the regime. This what happened in the 1980's when the Ikhwan were assassinating relatives of the regime which was the reason no Syrian political party supported them then.

No need to generalize to all muslims what this crazy guy is saying...
I'm Lebanese...then a muslim chiite...and we're certainly against what this stupid guy is suggesting...let him speak for himself and not for Lebanese...
As for all those who commented in favor of muslim vs christian hate...know that you're really alone in your corner thinking like that...Lebanese muslims and christians are brothers and nothing will set them appart...
So let's leave the Syrian nonsense to Syria...

فضيلة الشيخ اعتقد انك مفتي سوريا و ليس لبنان

Lebanese expat. Do you also agree that hasan nasrallah, hezballah and amal are crazies and extremists? Or are you only tryng to impress us by pretendng that shiite towel heads are diffirent? Hasan nasrallah said that lebanon s a muslim land. Do you agree with him? Christians used to be a majority in southern beirut and in southern lebanon until they were kicked out by shiites so if your sncere i ask you what will you do to give back our rights? Your invaders to us, not our brothers.
