Fatwa against Hezbollah
I
was discussing the current situation in the Middle East with a
co-worker who had not heard that a leading Saudi Wahhabi sheik issued a
fatwa against Hezbollah.
Here is the article for reference in case you have the same discussion.
Hereis another article discussing the Jordanian and Egyptian responses.
It
is good to see more moderate views being voiced by these Muslim states.
Even though it may be explained away by pointing out that Hezbollah is
a Shiite group supported by Persians, it still could result in greater
support for US policy in the region as an offset to Iran.
