The following message was left on Rafiq Nasurallahs (Lebanese Politicians) Facebook page (original translation)
From: the Christian brothers who want to assist the Resistance movement of Lebanon and the Syrian Arab Army who both everyday are sacriicing our brothers and sisters in this war against the Takfiri/Dajjalists
Message from Christians youth to his Eminence Sayyid Hassan NasrallahHis Eminence Sayyed, we are a group of Christians youth we are fed up seeing our people, our religion are being killed, our archbishops being kidnapped, our girls being raped and the Cross instilled in their mouths by the hands of these barbarians, the Salafis and Takfiris who are not related to Islam in anything. the smell of death is smelting from everywhere. They are bringing destruction to our Middle East and all this is happening under the eyes of United Nations and the Christian of Europe.
Sayyid Nasrallah – each day Maloula and Sidnaya are bombed. Churches are destroyed here and Monastery are burned there and our Christian Leaders no longer care about anything except their political positions.
This forthcoming death (Takfiris) will not leave any form of Christianity, neither chair (politician) nor person nor stone. For that we are asking you, his Eminence to open for us the door to join the heroes who are defending us while we are sleeping. The co-existence will not be preserved till you allow us to join your brigades and form a Jesus son of Mary brigade to be a sword in the face of the killers who permiss exposures and defiled the sanctity of the church. It would be of honour to have our martyrs (die) beside your martyrs, who returned the honour and dignity to the homes of the Christian of Qusaiyr.
We hope you will hear our voice his Eminence Sayyid Hassan Nasrullah.
We hope everyone who sees this massage to spread it.
Saker, the problem with this noble demand from these Christian youth is the wahabis would have a field day spinning this into a ‘fight the crusaders’ type agitation.
@Anonymous Lurker: the wahabis would have a field day spinning this into a ‘fight the crusaders’ type agitation.
Well, I think that this argument is really easy to beat back. The Crusaders were NOT local Christians. They were from Western Europe. Whom does Western Europe support today? The Wahabis. So in reality, its the Wahabis who are the puppets, the hirelings, the collaborators to the modern Crusaders: the Anglos and the Jews.
Furthermore, another argument which must be made is that the entire Middle-East rejects these crazy Wahabis, not only the Alawites, but also the Christians and even the real, educated, Sunni.
Besides, is anybody seriously listening to these lunatics? Do they really attract anybody by their propaganda?
Finally, Hezbollah has always had a Christian compenent in its “resistance brigades” (if I remember correctly). In order to become a member of Hezbollah as a political pary you must be a Muslim (which, frankly, I find very logical), but you can join the resistance and fight on the side of Hezbollah as a non-Muslim.
In fact, the first suicide-bomber in Lebanon – Sana’a Mehaidli – was a Greek Orthodox socialist.
Cheers!
I acknowledge the distinction – it’s a point you’ve made convincingly clear many times but there are many that don’t (or at least not yet) understand the difference.
The Saudis have been ‘wahabifying’ the Sunni world for quite some time – for example they’ve managed to evolve some(most?) of the Ikhwan leadership into the salafi ideology, hence Morsi’s recent policy changes to Syria.
The more that can be done to educate people in the middle east/muslim world that such an ideology is satanic and will only lead to a dead end and humiliation the better.

These bastards make me feel physically sick, they are the enemy of humanity.

Yes, I have come to the same sad conclusion. And did you notice that this process is most effective where the local authorities are mostly secular: Bosnia, Chechnia, the Maghreb, the Baathist countries, “Ataturkian” Turkey, etc. My gut feeling is that Wahabism must be combated by non-Wahabi, traditional, Sunni Islam. The local authorities must either be Sunni Muslim themselves or, at least, support traditional Sunni Islam. Look at Chechnia – on one hand Russian soldiers killed enough insurgents to defeat them militarily, but it took a guy like Kadyrov, who is very openly and militantly Muslim and traditionalist, to beat back the Wahabi ideology in a way which the Russian military and all its firepower could not do. As for Putin, he went as far as to grant Chechnia a degree of autonomy which, frankly, is not quite in line with the Russian Constitution. Why? Because he understood that he had to do the maximum humanly possible to accommodate the kind of society Kadykov wants to build: a very strictly traditional Sunni society, but one with in which Wahabis are quite literally shot on sight.
The Iranians are, of course, doing the same, but being Shia they have natural limits on how much they can do. Same for Hezbollah in Lebanon.
God willing, if the insurgency is defeated in Syria, the society will accept to me de-secularized with each religious denomination left in peace and with the right to practice its religion in a most conservative and traditional manner it chooses, but also with a firm determination to have a zero tolerance for any Saudi interference, or any Wahabi propaganda.
No country has, as far as I know, gone that far yet, but I think that the notion of officially and openly banning Wahabi Islam should be considered while other forms of Islam should be actively promoted and supported.
My 2cts.
Cheers
On a humorous note, here is a message to the Christian faithful from an atheist, gay Jew in Berkeley:
