Abu Qatada Criticizes Hizbullah, Says Suicide Bombings 'Defense Act'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Islamist cleric Omar Mahmoud Othman, who is also known as Abu Qatada, strongly criticized Hizbullah on Thursday, calling on the cabinet to “pressure” the party to stop its involvement in the Syrian war.
Abu Qatada, who is being tried in Jordan on terrorism charges, also expressed his support to suicide bombings carried out by the al-Qaida linked Al-Nusra Front in Lebanon and Abdullah Azzam Brigades on Lebanese territories.
"I support the bombings in Beirut. The leader of Hizbullah (Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah) sent fighters to Syria to back the regime. He is responsible for those killed in Lebanon," he told reporters at the state security court in Amman.
"If Lebanon wants to protect itself, it should tell the party of the devil to get its fighters out of Syria," he added in a swipe at Hizbullah.
"The party of the devil started all of this. It should be pressured to get out of the Syrian conflict," Abu Qatada added, describing the bombings in Lebanon as "self-defense operations."
Palestinian-born preacher Abu Qatada was condemned to death in absentia in 1999 for conspiracy to carry out terror attacks, including on the American school in Amman.
However, the sentence was immediately commuted to life imprisonment with hard labor.
In 2000, he was sentenced in absentia to 15 years for plotting to attack tourists in Jordan during millennium celebrations, and videotapes of his sermons were allegedly found in the Hamburg flat of 9/11 ringleader Mohammed Atta.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Britain expelled him last summer after Amman and London ratified a treaty guaranteeing that evidence obtained by torture would not be used in his retrial and that the proceedings would be transparent.
After his deportation, Abu Qatada was granted a retrial in line with Jordanian law, and military prosecutors charged him with conspiracy to carry out acts of terrorism.
If convicted, he could face a minimum of 15 years' hard labor.

Flam - what is the relation of m14 with this guy? He is not Lebanese, is in Jordan and probably considers everyone in m14 as kafer. But he is right about one thing: the root cause of these bombings.

Explain the difference between a Saudi and Iranian funded terrorist party ?
Last I looked, Hezbollah is the strongest armed group in the region which has defeated Israel... how the hell are the Saudi / Qatari terrorists more a threat than Hezbollah terrorists ? Please explain !
In the end, they are all terrorists and you supporting even 1 of both shows you are a traitor to Lebanon and an obstacle to peace !

you dont see the difference? it's quite obvious to non-brainwashed people
one plants bombs in civilian areas, the other fights off invading armies (israel) and hordes of throat-cutting savages.

hahahhaha now you want to deny even the fact that it is Hezbollah that liberated the south? go ahead, the only thing you're hurting is your credibility and exposing yourself as a biased person in denial.
as for your accusation that HA planted bombs in civilian areas they are utterly unfounded, and part of your smearing campaign. repeating an empty claim every day might make it seem like a truth, but as long as there is NOTHING to support such claims, and you keep running away each time you're asked to show the evidence you pretend to have, it's you who can "shove it" :)

HA never liberated the South! Israel withdrew as part of Barak's political campaign. Stop fooling yourself.

This guy is a joke. From one side he pleads not guilty for plotting bombs and acts of terror and from the other he is praising and justifying other acts of terror. This guy fell off the top of the 'hypocrisy' tree and hit every branch coming down. Let him worry about his problems and us about ours.

mou wateh = not wateh, so thanks smartie :)
and no, it's only "obvious" to you because you are like-minded.
anyone claiming that targeting innocents based on their sect or the neighborhood where they live is "defense" is a human scum, and anyone saying his words are true is no better.
HA is absolutely right to be fighting the terrorists (not their wives/children/neighbors) and only terrorist sympathizers would blame HA for the bombs instead of the hands that pulls the triggers.

What is not surprising is that you agree with and are paid by an internationally recognized terror group. Your sole purpose on this forum is to defend them in every post, reply to every poster, and make a fool out of your self.

If one can draw the picture of modern-day Satan, then this man offers the best depiction. Abou Qatada and his likes are nothing but a bunch of lunatics who are totally brain-dead. His statement is nothing short of a pretext used to extend their lease term on terror. They are the furthest thing from Islam, engaged on a mad rush on a killing spree. In Syria, nowadays most people, especially civilians have come to terms with the truth, that they wanted to free themselves from a brutal reign of terror. These Satanist Takfiris sneaked in as helpers to the liberators, now they have dwarfed the Al Assad regime, making it look like a school kids tea party in comparison. These Satanists will appear wherever and whenever two siblings are in dispute. Typical of Ibliss Al Shaytan.

"These Satanists will appear wherever and whenever two siblings are in dispute. Typical of Ibliss Al Shaytan."
Very well said. True to the core. These shaytans have no God, they have hijacked Syrian aspirations and instilled a false sense of Islam. The question must be asked who created these monsters and for what end.

The resistance.....
Most violent folks who carry guns in their hands, back butter knives for brains. They need the guns to make up for intellectual inferiority. I am not hitting at F.T with this reply, I am only rebuking your senseless post.
