Saudi scholar rallies support for Hezbollah By Mariam Al Hakeem, Correspondent gulfnews.com Riyadh: A prominent Saudi scholar yesterday called for the support of the resistance in Lebanon and Palestine regardless of differences over "schools of thoughts." In a statement sent to Gulf News, Shaikh Abdul Rahman Al Omar said the mujahideens (holy warriors) in Lebanon deserve the support of Arab and Islamic countries regardless of "schools of their thoughts" because they are fighting the enemies of Islam and assassins of the prophets. "Muslims should be supported in general, against their enemies no matter the schools of their thoughts are. Because the confrontation of the enemies - the Israelis - is more important than any sectarian or factional differences," Al Omar said. He also called on Muslims to refrain from instigating any sectarian tendencies especially during these delicate and crucial circumstances being experienced by Muslims in Lebanon and Palestine. Al Omar appealed to countries with diplomatic or commercial relations with Israel to sever their ties and expel Tel Aviv's diplomats. He also urged Arab and Islamic countries to open their borders to "let the mujahideens pass and fight the Zionists." "It is high time for the Islamic and Arab countries to allow the youth to fight the Jews in the battle of honour and dignity in Lebanon and Palestine," Al Omar said. Al Omar's statement flatly rejected an earlier call by another scholar urging Muslims to refrain from helping the Hezbollah because of the "Shiite school of thought." "This party should not be supported nor fight under its banner and supplicate for its victory," Al Gebrain said.
