Monday 06 June 2005, 4:20 Makka Time, 1:20 GMT
Preliminary results in the two electoral districts in South
Lebanon have
indicated a landslide victory for the list backed by the
two main Shia
groups, Hizb Allah and Amal.
Deputy Secretary-General of Hizb Allah Shaikh Naim
Qassem provided counts
conducted by his party so far showing the joint Hizb
Allah-Amal ticket
maintaing a substantial lead over opponent candidates.
Speaker of Parliament and Amal leader Nabih Berri has
received more than
35,000 votes from the ballots that have been counted so
far in the first
electoral district.
The least amount of votes received by a candidate from
the Hizb Allah-Amal
coalition stood at about 32,000 votes.
The most votes garnered by an opposition alliance
candidate went to Riad
Asaad, who took at least 5300 votes, by the latest
count.
Hizb Allah MP Mohammed Raad received more than
80,000 votes in the second
electoral district in South Lebanon.
Asaad Hardan, also of the Hizb Allah-Amal alliance, won
76,000 votes,
leaving his opponent Elias Abu Rizk trailing far behind
with only 7000
votes.
Official results are not expected until Monday.
Vote for resistance
"Southerners are saying 'yes for uniting behind the
resistance and embracing
it," said Qassem. "(Voters) have sent a clear message to
foreigners,
especially to Americans: the people of Lebanon support
the resistance."

Britain Beware
(This is only part of the article)
Hamas is now threatening the British Empire, they have words of
warning for England.
Read the following sermon delivered by a leading Hamas Imam, Sheik
Ibrahim
Muderas. This sermon, like many of his other sermons, was broadcast
on Palestinian-controlled TV. The translation of the sermon comes
from World Net Daily and can be trusted for content and accuracy.
We take this opportunity to hold Britain accountable and say
there is revenge we can never forget. We cannot forgo the
revenge we want to exact from Britain. We hold Britain
responsible for what happened in Palestine. Britain is the
cause, 'til this very minute, of every drop of blood dripping into
this land.
I say to you: You must look at our situation with an outlook of
confidence in Allah's victory! If you help Allah (spread Islam), Allah
will bring you victory. We once ruled the world and the day will come
when, by God, we will rule the entire world. The day will come when
we will rule the United States, the day will come when we will rule
Britain, we will rule the whole world (and all will live in peace and
comfort under our rule) except the Jews.
Listen to what this man, this Hamas religious leader, this Imam is
saying. Put aside the rhetoric about controlling the world and the
rhetoric about ruling the United States. Those lines are commonplace
in almost every sermon dealing with the theme of revenge. Call it
wishful thinking. The reality is that while these Moslems certainly do
pray for the downfall of the United States, they do not have the
infrastructure to successfully design a serious attack at this time.
When it comes to Britain, however, the situation changes. In altering
his normal anti-Western canard Imam Sheikh Ibrahim Muderas is
telling us that, indeed, they do have the infrastructure necessary to
exact punishment in England. He goes so far as to explain the why's
and stops just short of the how's the who's and the when's.
Now listen to me. This sermon signals an enormous challenge not just
for Britain, but for the West. Until now, only Israel was dead center in
the crosshairs of Hamas terror. Now, England might be there as well.
I am not an alarmist and this is definitely not idle speculation. This is
not "chatter" as intel analysts like to call it. Intelligence operations
must infiltrate to stop what is certainly a planned terrorist strike by
Hamas. These are no longer the words of an Imam chosen to stir up
his crowd of listeners. This is a not so veiled threat, a statement of
intention.
This is a warning we should heed.
