ISIL, Wahabism, Main Threats to Makkah and Medina
In a speech delivered in a southern suburb of the Lebanese Capital, Beirut, on Friday, Nasrallah added that the only people threatening the Holy Mosques are students of the Wahhabi schools in Saudi Arabia and ISIL, Al-Manar TV network reported.
He reiterated Hezbollah's full support for the Yemeni people in the face of the barbaric Saudi-US aggression on Yemen, reassuring that even if it took some time, the Yemenis will eventually triumph due to their courage and steadfastness.
He reassured that "it is our humanitarian, moral, and religious duty to take this stance and the whole nation must take a similar stance, because we will be asked about this by Allah."
Nasrallah refuted claims that the attack on Yemen " was for defending Yemen's Arabism". He rather asked: "Did the Arab people authorize the Saudi regime to wage war on Yemen? Moreover, If the Yemeni people were not Arab, then who is?"
"The Yemenis don't need to give evidence that they are Arabs, before Islam they were the original Arab culture, when people of the Arabian Peninsula didn't even know how to read... Yemeni scholars and merchants brought Islam to Indonesia, one of the largest Islamic countries... Yemenis don't need to give evidence that they are Arabs or Muslims, and whoever assaults the Yemeni people should be the one who's Islam and Arabism should be examined," he added, stressing that "they have tried to give a sectarian aspect for the war, claiming that it is a Sunni/Shiite war, but this is not true. It is a Saudi war for political reasons..."
Nasrallah pointed out that "one of the funniest headlines I have read in the past couple of weeks was "In defense of the Holy Mosques in Makkah and Medina.
"Who is threatening the two Holy Mosques? The Yemeni people? The Yemeni Army?" he asked, adding: "These are the people who mostly love the prophet (PBUH) and his household (AS)... The only people threatening the Holy Mosques are students of the Wahhabi schools in Saudi Arabia and ISIL, one day a suicide bomber from this school will make an operation there, because they consider that the Kaaba is just a pile of stones being worshipped rather than Allah".
"After the Saudi Monarchy emerged, its Wahhabi followers destroyed religious and historical heritage related to the prophet, from houses to graves, forts, and everything... There was even a decision to destroy the prophet's grave, and history proved that, but the Islamic world stood up against them back then," asrallah further stated, emphasizing that "the Holy Moque is under threat and we don't know when they would destroy it."
On another level, Hezbollah secretary general noted: "Another goal behind the war, according to Saudi claims, is defending the Yemeni people... Is besieging 24 million Yemeni and keeping them without food and medicine, and committing massacres against women and children, a way for defending the Yemenis?"
He asked the Lebanese to remember July war and observe the resemblance between the Saudi war on Yemen and the Israeli war on Lebanon.
"We were the adventurers and the triumphant then," he added, and assured that "while they claimed that their goal was to prevent the Yemeni Army and the Public committees from reaching Aden, they failed in that, and provinces have become under the control of the Yemeni Army now and Al-Qaeda is withdrawing."
In this context, Nasrallah reassured that "they wanted to break the will and subjugate the Yemeni people, but the result was a great steadfastness, firmness, patience, demonstrations, and strength by the Yemeni people and Army."
"The aggression failed in transferring the war into a sectarian or regional one, and Saudi has failed in its aerial aggression. The only choice it has now is land incursion in Yemen, so let us see what the Saudi Army will do then," he added.
He stated that "until now, the Yemenis have not chosen their response, and waiting until now is a strategic patience by the Yemenis."
Furthermore, he considered that "the Saudi regime does not seem to be ready for any settlement despite the fact that most of the countries are against this aggression because it will not make any achievement."
Based on that, Nasrallah assured that the only outcome from the war on Yemen will be the defeat of the invaders, and expressed gratitude to the Pakistani Parliament for preventing the Pakistani Army from fighting in Yemen.
Moreover, he called upon Pakistan and Egypt to put an end to the destruction of an Arab and Islamic country, and demanded the intervention of all the Arab and Islamic countries to stop this war and save Yemen from this intended catastrophe.
