Fadlallah urges Vatican to join forces with Muslims
BEIRUT: Senior Shiite cleric Sayyed Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah called on the Vatican Wednesday to join forces with Muslims in facing the “war on terrorism,” saying that the campaign was harmful to both Christians and Muslims.
In his weekly seminar, Fadlallah denounced the Sept. 11 2001, attacks, saying they were being used as an opportunity to stir hatred against Islam, especially in the West.
According to Fadlallah, the Sept. 11 attacks had been planned to be used later as an excuse to initiate a war against Muslims and launch a harmful propaganda campaign against Islam in the West.
“This campaign against Islam is part of a prefabricated plan to create an enemy for Westerners, following the collapse of the Soviet Union.”
Fadlallah condemned the countries supporting the West in its campaign, or those who “look the other way and thus indirectly encourage practices against Muslims, especially in third-world countries or countries rich in natural resources.”
