Hezbollah and the Collegian

I had some extra time tonight and I decided to browse the Opinions over at The Daily Collegian. I came across this article about Hezbollah and I had to respond. First, the article:

Students need to consider Hezbollah circumstances

As I may not agree with all of Hezbollah's actions, I ask the world of college students trying to broaden their horizons to look at the circumstances that have brought Hezbollah to life. Hezbollah wouldn't exist had Israel not invaded Lebanon in 1982.

I also ask that students read into the history of the Middle East before making any quick assumptions about one party or country. As there are not just two sides to every story, there very well could be more than 10 sides in cases concerning the Middle East. Israel's effort to weaken Hezbollah has only made the support for Hezbollah even stronger than before. Hasan Nasrallah, the secretary general of Hezbollah, is now a hero among those he wasn't a hero to just prior to the war. Hezbollah means "Party of God" in Arabic. It is an idea, not just a group of people. Even if Israel succeeds in taking them out, another Hezbollah will pop up somewhere else. Interestingly enough, Venezuelen President Hugo Chavez has taken note of the destruction of Lebanon (not Hezbollah) and the attack of the United Nations offices more than the United Nations itself. Venezuela may have made a few enemies by withdrawing their ambassadors from there, but they sure have the support of the Arab and Muslim peoples. Had the Arab and Muslim leaders actually led and listened to the concerns of their people, the world would be a completely different place.

Hana Issa

I responded with this:


What Hana Issa seems not to understand is the previous ruling entity in Lebanon was Syria (and still is). Hezbollah was just a name put on the Muslim thugs who were destroying the beautiful land of Lebanon. When Islam invaded the world in the middle of 600 A.D. the entire Middle East was doomed to perpetual war if there were to be those living there other than Muslims. There is peace in Islam, but only for Muslims and those who agree to be sub-human payers of the Jizya, the non-Muslim poll tax. What so many people don't understand is that Theocracy is what every Muslim should be striving for, the ascention of a High Caliphate to rule Law through Religion because Religion is Law in Islam. Hasan Nasrallah is now a major player in Lebanon because those who revere him are the same Muslims that were killing Christians that fled to the Lebanese Mountains and couldn't be defeated. To be Lebanese is unique in the Middle East because Lebanese people are NOT Arabs. They are descendants of the Phonecian peoples, who pre-date the egyptians. The Lebanese people, the Christians, are having their lives destroyed because of the Muslims who have invaded their lands through the financial aid of Syria and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

You also spoke of the U.N. Ambassadors that were killed in Lebanon. I am sure that you read the E-Mail that one of those said ambassadors wrote prior to his death that detailed the Hezbollah Terrorists plan of action: stay close to the U.N. and Israel will not bomb. Well, the human shield didn't work this time. But tactics like that should not surprise anyone who is familiar with Islam and the Hadiths, as Muhammad used the same tactics of deception at the toll of the innocents. Convert. Pay the Jizya. Die. Those are your three choices through Islam. This letter won't be printed because I am being too truthful in what I write. I can only hope that someone at the Collegian reads this and has some prior knowledge of the Middle East and Islam.


This one may be a little too hostile to print in a liberal newspaper. Fuck 'em.
