| Mullah Fadlallah slams US on weapons of mass destruction |
| 2002-05-12 |
| A senior Shiite cleric said Friday that it was wrong for Washington to criticize Syria for allegedly seeking to obtain weapons of mass destruction when Israel already has such weapons. US Under-Secretary of State John Bolton warned Syria on Monday against trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction, saying the United States would take action to ensure that Damascus did not give "terrorists" such arms. This is already known as the "Axis of Just as Evil" speech... Is it "evil" for a state "whose land is occupied to try to use different weapons to expel the occupier and defend itself?" Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah asked in a Friday sermon. Ummm... We'd say yes. Matter of fact, we already have... "Is there any country that represents the 'axis of evil' like America, which stirs political, economic and military evil around the entire world?" Why, sure. Lots of 'em. Why do you ask? Fadlallah ridiculed Bolton’s speech, which was titled Beyond the Axis of Evil. I suppose that's fair. I ridicule Mullah Fudlullah for being one of the Learned Elders of Islam. |
