UAE Summons Lebanese Ambassador over Nasrallah's 'Hostile' Remarks
2015-01-15
[An Nahar] The United Arab Emirates summoned on Wednesday the Lebanese ambassador to the Gulf country and handed him an official letter of objection on Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
chief His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah
The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...
's recent remarks against Bahrain.

The Foreign Ministry strongly denounces the hostile, provocative and rejected remarks, which clearly violate the affairs of Bahrain, incite violence and terrorism and destabilize the country, Tariq Ahmed al-Hidan, Assistant Foreign Minister for International Organizations, said in a statement.

He held the Lebanese government fully responsible for Nasrallah's statements, demanding it to clarify its stance and condemn the hostile remarks.

The Lebanese government should take the necessary legal measures to guarantee that such incidents will not happen again.

The Gulf Cooperation Council on Saturday criticized Nasrallah's stance as well, accusing him of inciting violence and discord.

On Friday, Nasrallah noted that top Bahraini dissident Sheikh Ali Salman, who was tossed in the slammer
Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit!
recently by authorities, has never called for toppling the regime and he did not incite to violence.

The authorities in Bahrain will realize that they are acting in a foolish way. They can imprison most of the Bahraini people but that will only stop the protests on the streets and they will not be able to stop the protests in prisons, said Nasrallah.

The reason behind the peaceful approach is not the inability to send weapons or fighters to Bahrain, but rather the fact that the holy mans, politicians and people in Bahrain are preventing that and seeking a peaceful solution, Hizbullahs leader added.
