The Assholes Mufti of Saudi and Qardawi wants the young Muslims to go and fight in Syria. Their call should have been clear and unequivoal to the Tyrants of the Gulf that they have to attack Syria and stand with the people of Syria. Their mission is to have the tyrants of the Gulf survive by all means since they benefit from them money and prestige. Do not get decieved by Muslims scholars. Tantweey who was Al Azher Iamam was standing with Muubarak and after we died we found out his family did benefit well from Mubarak. May be it is time to have the Muslms scholars to tell us exactly what is their whealth and how they gather it.

RelatedGulf Arab countries to consider action against Hezbollah At least 79 Hezbollah fighters killed in Qusayr: NGO Hezbollah should change name to 'Party of Satan': Turkish official Arab League chief slams Beirut strikes, Hezbollah involvement in Syria Saudi Arabia's highest religious figure praised a leading Sunni Muslim scholar on Thursday for his condemnation of Hezbollah following its intervention in Syria.



Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Abdullah al-Sheikh's words add to the growing criticism of Hezbollah by Sunni authorities, underlining the sectarian aspect of Syria's civil war where mostly Sunni rebels are fighting President Bashar al-Assad, a member of the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam.



The Shi'ite Hezbollah, once revered by fellow Arabs as a bulwark against Israel, has lost support due to its military support for Assad, including helping his forces retake the strategic border town of Qusair from rebels on Wednesday.



Influential Qatar-based Sunni cleric Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi last week called for jihad (holy war) against Assad and called Iranian-backed Hezbollah - which means party of God - "the party of Satan".



He said he had been wrong to have praised Hezbollah in the past when he had sought to bring Sunnis and Shi'ites closer together.



Saudi Arabia's al-Sheikh, the highest religious authority in the birthplace of Islam, said Qaradawi's stance was in line with Sunni orthodoxy.



"Part of his statement was his support and reference to the stance of some of the (Saudi) kingdom's great scholars, which has been clear towards this hateful sectarian party since its establishment," he said in a statement carried by the Saudi press agency.



He called on scholars and politicians to act to stop Hezbollah's "aggression".



Last week, Bahrain's foreign minister called Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, a "terrorist".



Nasrallah became a hero in the Arab world after his forces helped push Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon in 2000 and confronted the Jewish state in a short war in 2006.
