Top Lebanese cleric hails Saudi intervention in Yemen

Share:

Sayed Mohamad Ali El HusseiniLebanese Scholar Sayyed Mohamed Ali El Husseini hailed on Monday  the Saudi-led ” Decisive Storm” in Yemen as being a timely  Operation to stop  the Iranian use of the Houthis to  expand   its dominance of  the region.

During an interview with Okaz newspaper , he expressed hope that the Saudi -led operation will restore stability in Yemen. He also said he has full confidence in   Saudi King Salman’s ability to end the Iranian expansion in the region

The top shiite cleric is  considered to be one of the most prominent scholars of the Arabic and Islamic world.  He is known for  “his open-minded, intellectual and political attitudes and moderate and unionistic religious positions that reject separation and sedition propagandists”, according to local media reports .

In 2009 he launched  the Islamic Arab Council    group  to fight the enemies of Arabs and stressed the Arab identity of the group as opposed to Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran.

When asked about the source of funding, Husseini said it comes from individuals and not countries and is  open anyone to join, whether Sunni or Shiite.

Husseini  is the  author of more than 70 books on Islamic and political issues. Some of these books were  translated into English.

For  the past few years the Shiite  cleric has been warning of the Iranian   project , which  he said ” ultimately seeks to establish a totalitarian religious empire that extends its influence in  Iran and the Arab countries. ”

    I am really concerned about the safety of this courageous Lebanese Shiite cleric who has the guts to say that Iran is no good for the Arab Shiites . Many Shiites are of the same opinion about the dangers Iran poses to the region but are reportedly afraid to say so because of Hezbollah arms

      Hind don’t forget just over a year ago Al Qaada and Houthis were fighting the Yemen’s soldiers in trying to topple Saleh. Bottom line yemen need to have some kind of consolidations between Shiites and sunnis. Problem is the Houthis were taking over yemen. Of course I would rather have them then Al Qaada. but why were they fighting alongside them before?

        Everybody tries to go with the ‘flavour of the moment’ it seems … but having something for the good of ALL isn’t in the bowl.

        I don’t know..
        “Some four months after being retaken from Islamic State fighters, Jalawla, in the Kurdistan region, remains uninhabited and divided among peshmerga, Shiite militias and Asayish, with residents awaiting resolution of who will ultimately control it.”

    Wow, I am impressed. I had almost given up hope on Shiites as all held hostage by Khameneism. I tip my hat for this brave man to stand up against Hezbully and the Iranian king. That is two Shea leaders I have been impressed with recently. The other being Ayatollah Sistani. Shea in general need to shed and separate themselves from Iran’s dictatorship brand of Shiism that has lost its way to become a violent totalitarian political movement rather than the spiritualism of its religion. Expect an aggressive BS rebuttal from Hezbullah.

    The truth..it is America who planted Syiah uprising at the area..in order to destroy Iran by using Sunnis force.Without Saddam and Iran Israel will safe forever.Other Arabs will not harm Israel since they are at the hand of America.

    1. only truth in your comment is the second word in it.anything beyond that is the same old Arab inability to hold themselves accountable for their actions.it’s always the other guy’s fault, even if he is not around
