Nasrallah Launches Blistering Attack on Saudi over Nimr Execution, Cautions against Sectarian Strife
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday launched one of his fiercest verbal attacks to date against Saudi Arabia over its execution of top Shiite dissident Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, as he warned against turning the issue into a Sunni-Shiite conflict.
“The land of the two holy mosques and the Prophet and his family has been wrongfully called the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” Nasrallah said in a televised speech commemorating both al-Nimr and late Hizbullah official Sheikh Mohammed Khatoun.
“The House of Saud imposed itself on the Arabian Peninsula's people through massacres, murder and intimidation and the kingdom was created with British support and funding as part of a colonial scheme,” Nasrallah charged.
He lamented that “in that land and that kingdom, criticism, objection and debate are prohibited.”
“We are before an alarming event and the House of Saud might have taken what it did lightly but it is not an incident that can go unnoticed,” Nasrallah warned.
Nimr, 56, was a force behind anti-government protests in Saudi Arabia in 2011 in the east of the country.
He was executed along with 46 other men -- Shiite activists and Sunnis who the Saudi interior ministry said were involved in al-Qaida killings. Some were beheaded and others were shot by firing squad.
"The execution (Saturday) of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr reveals to the world the real criminal, takfiri and terrorist face of Saudi Arabia," Nasrallah said.
“Was the Saudi judiciary able to prove that Sheikh al-Nimr had taken up arms to fight? Did he form an armed group? Did he call for violence and arms?” Nasrallah wondered.
He stressed that al-Nimr's approach was “peaceful throughout his life, in the vein of all the scholars in the Eastern Province and in the Kingdom of Bahrain.”
“Sheikh al-Nimr was very brave in what he says and he was a reformist man who demanded the rights of the people of the Arabian Peninsula which was illegitimately called Saudi Arabia,” Nasrallah added.
He decried that “whoever speaks and objects” in Saudi Arabia would be “executed.”
“This is Saudi Arabia that wants democracy in the region and for the peoples of the region,” Nasrallah mocked.
He noted that the execution carries a “message” that Riyadh is “not concerned with the Islamic world, the other Muslim sects, or the Muslim and international public opinion.”
“What is behind the timing of the execution amid these circumstances? Some were hoping that the Saudi regime would open the doors for overcoming the region's crises through dialogue,” Nasrallah asked.
He warned that the House of Saud – the kingdom's ruling family -- wants to “stir Sunni-Shiite sectarian strife everywhere.”
“Our people must be aware of this and must not turn the issue into a Sunni-Shiite conflict. Turning it into a sectarian issue is an act of betrayal towards the blood of Sheikh al-Nimr and it serves the purposes of his killers,” Nasrallah said.
Comparing the kingdom's rulers to the extremist Islamic State group, Nasrallah said “Daesh (IS) and the House of Saud are advocates of the same school of thought, the same books and the same practices.”
Hizbullah's chief also added that “the signs of the end of this tyrannical, oppressive, criminal and takfiri regime have started to loom in the horizon.”

1- nasrallah and his followers insulted sulieman in his last days as well as nimr followers killed police soldiers in Saudia.
2- nasrallah told the army that nahr el bared is red line and assisinated the army leader that lead the battle to finishing all terrorists.
3- nasrallah formed a militia that operates today outside the state authority and invites the terrorists from Israel and da3ed to retaliate on Lebanese soil.
These are only few grounds to throw him in jail for life.

Nassrallah referring to Saudi Arabia:
نصرالله: في تلك الأرض والمملكة ممنوع النقض والاعتراض والنقاش.
His clone that was executed was advocating the rule oh wilayat al faqih in KSA. It seems one can criticize, object, and dialogue in Iran. What a loser! He is full of venom and hatred.

نصرالله: الشيخ النمر شجاع جداً فيما كان يقول وفي المكان والزمان الذي كان يقول فيه هو رجل إصلاحي يطالب بحقوق شعب الجزيرة العربية المسماة زوراً السعودية.
This iranian 3ameel better shut up !!! A reformist does not call for establishing an iranian style government and lifestyle and calls himself reformist. Absolute filth...

نصرالله: هدف الحرب السعودية على اليمن تدمير اليمن والسيطرة على شعبه والانتقام منه
The liar has no shame. When his minority huthis came all the way down from their caves in the North and conquered all of Yemen and tried to subdue its people they were doing that for what reason? Not for control? Not for destruction? Not for revenge? There were 77 agreements made his huthis agreed to and then unilaterally reneged on. Deceit and lies that is his wileyet al faqeeh.

I have been listening to his speech and it is full of incitement and sedition. Ironically he then says:
على ناسنا الشيعة ان ينتبهوا وألا يحولوا الموضوع إلى صراع سني شيعي وتحويله إلى موضوع طائفي هو خدمة لقتلة الشيخ النمر

Can he explain why Al Saoud executed yesterday 46 Daesh operatives some of them were Daesh inspirational leaders and teachers and not military elements?

إيران… بلد المشانق المُعلقة
تتوقع منظمات حقوقية دولية أن تكون حالات الإعدام في إيران قد بلغت مع نهاية العام 2015 أكثر من ألف حالة إعدام، ما يفوق كثيرا، بل يزيد على ضعف حالات الإعدام التي نفذتها السلطات الإيرانية عام 2014 بأكمله.
وأشارت التقارير إلى أن إيران أعدمت خلال الشهور الستة الأولى من عام 2015، أكثر من 753 شخصا، موضحة أن متوسط حالات الإعدام خلال هذا الفترة بلغ 3 حالات إعدام يوميا.ووفقا لهذه الأرقام فإن “حالات الإعدام ستتجاوز الألف حالة بنهاية 2015″، بحسب تقرير صادر عن منظمة العفو الدولية في تموز الماضي.

Surtout qu'il n'a pas peur de se tirer une balle dans le pied:
"Did he form an armed group? Did he call for violence and arms?". Nimr didn't but it's exactly what u do in Lebanon Mr. Nasrallah!

Actually he did but it was not out in the open. Remember his followers were attacking and killing Saudi police.

Fundamentalist Shia accusing Fundamentalist Sunni of terrorism. Funny how both of them read from the same book, draw the same conclusions, conduct themselves the same way and when they see the other do it, they condemn it! Once, just once, both should look into the mirror and make the same conclusion about themselves and then undertake a joint project to reform the interpretation of their Koran.

I warned you people that this would happen if the Wahabis executed Sheikh Nimr.
Now see what happend, Saudis in Lebanon will not be safe. We will hunt them down anywhere.

In the case of Ahmed Assir, Nasrallah was absent and did not go on TV, it's not OK for Ahmed Assir to raise his voice against Hizbollah and we should execute him, but it's OK for Nimr to raise his voice for intifada and his followers to kill Saudi soldiers.
Justice must be served equally on all.

How about Tueni, Harriri, Shatah, Gemayel and the tens of heroes that have fallen due to Hizbollah car bombs assassinations, are those missed too for raising their voice against the Syrian regime and paid the price for being Lebanese first and foremost.

Once upon a time the demagogue Mystic said:
"Mystic
It is easy to notice March 14s dishonor, even through Naharnet.
1. They are cowards.
2. Big talk and no action.
3. They insult and give death threats on the Internet.
4. They never have any facts.
5. March 14 really are the weakness of Lebanon, imagine a pure and strong Lebanon without March 14 alliance cowardice.
6. Money is their dignity."
Special attention to be given to points 1 through 4.

lol so much hate from nassrallah only indicates the massive amount of b-hurt that KSA is inflicting upon him and his sectarian terrorists.
Great picture, Nassrallah looks like am unwashed mafioso, and that's closer to his true character than the uniform he dishonored during decades. I hope his hanging will be public, i'd love to hear his last "speech" lol
one last thing.... Why is it that every time shia extremists kill and spill blood everywhere their supporters cheer, but they are the first ones to cry when they get smashed?

Had the Lebanese government executed Nassrallah the terrorist years ago we would not have reached this miserable state we are in today. The Saudis saw what was evolving out of this not so Nimr terrorist and executed him before he became another Nassrallah.
