Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah
congratulating all Muslims on the occasion of the birth of the holy prophet (pbuh) and his grandson Imam Jaafar Sadeq (AS)
He will be giving a short religious introduction then tackle politics later.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
It is impossible for the Muslims to accept any form of disrespect towards their prophet. They are unable to tolerate or remain silent in the face of any insults towards him. I will use this introduction to begin the political portion of the speech.
S #Nasrallah:
First of all, we strongly condemn the recent attack in Nice. This act is highly denounced & unacceptable but it is also unacceptable for the French authorities to blame an entire religion for the actions of a single person. The man himself should be held accountable
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
If we were to compare, would the public have the same reaction had the attacker been a Christian, for example? Would Christianity and Jesus (pbuh) have been blamed?
Some headlines included terms such as "fascist Islam" and "terrorist Islam"...
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
Did you ever see a Muslim claim that Christianity was to blame for the terrorism of the American army? It is unacceptable to blame any religion for the actions of a single person following it, whether it be Islam, Christianity, Judaism...
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
Besides, let us look for YOUR responsibility in what is happening. American, French, and other European governments supported and protected the Wahabbi ideology and the ones who promote and practice it. You funded, supported, and trained those groups.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
It is difficult for anyone to enter your countries, but you facilitated the entrance of those terrorists to your countries and then facilitated their transport to Syria and Iraq.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
We warned you a lot. We always told you that America was far, but Europe is close to our region. We told you to beware of the return of those terrorists to your countries. But you insisted on your stance because you thought victory awaited you.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
You are constantly repeating the same mistakes. You are always paying the price for using those proxy groups. What do 2 billion Muslims and the prophet of Islam have to do with the actions of those groups?
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
How did this all start? Who started this? A French magazine published an offensive cartoon against the prophet of Islam under the title of "freedom of speech," but we have several examples of incidents in which France prohibits freedom of speech.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
Take the French philosopher, Roger Garaudy, as an example. The man published a detailed study on the Holocaust. He did not disrespect or offend Judaism. What happened to him? He was imprisoned.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
This was unacceptable, but it is apparently acceptable for someone to attack the beliefs of 2 billion humans.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
You need to tackle this issue. Solving the problem does not equate to surrendering to terrorism. Muslims are not looking for another enemy, but it is best for the French authorities to know that this is a losing battle for them to continue with.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
Despite starvation, war, disease, and besiegement, the people of Yemen gathered in enormous crowds in support of their prophet, listening to their leader, Sayyed al-Houthi, and pledging allegiance to the Palestinian cause.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
One cannot but admire this scene, especially considering the state of those people who were betrayed by everyone. They refused to give up on Palestine when they themselves need any support they can get.
Sayyed #Nasrallah:
I also wanted to tackle the topic of normalization in the region, the demarcation of the borders, and the security condition on the border, but time is almost up and I will be delivering another speech on the 11th of November, so I will postpone those topics.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
As for the establishment of a new cabinet in Lebanon, we hope it is formed soon, and we are willing to cooperate as always.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
It is also crucial to emphasize on the importance of abiding by the safety guidelines in regards to the pandemic. The numbers are higher than ever now in Lebanon. It is a religious obligation to respect the precautions.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah
renews well wishes for the birth of the prophet (pbuh)
