Hizbullah leader sees Islamic State as growing ‘monster’
Irish Times ^ | Fri, Aug 15, 2014

The leader of Lebanese Shia group Hizbullah described the radical Islamist movement that has seized territory in Iraq and Syria as a growing “monster” that could threaten Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Gulf states.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, whose group has been helping Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad fight a Sunni Islamist-dominated insurgency, said Islamic State could easily recruit in other areas where its hardline ideology exists.

“Wherever there are followers of the ideology there is ground for [Islamic State], and this exists in Jordan, in Saudi Arabia, in Kuwait, and the Gulf states,” Nasrallah said in an interview with the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, published today.

Nasrallah, whose group is backed by Shia Muslim power Iran, said Islamic State was encountering resistance in some parts of Iraq and Syria. But he added: “It appears that the capabilities, numbers and capacities available to [Islamic State] are vast and large. This is what is worrying everyone, and everyone should be worried.”

The Hezbos celebrated the release of Samir Kuntar who kidnapped a 31 year old Israeli man and his 4 year old daughter. The mother and 2 year old daughter hid in the attic. The baby suffocated while the mother held her mouth to keep her from crying.

From Wikipedia:
Kuntar shot Danny at close range in the back, in front of his daughter, and drowned him in the sea to ensure he was dead. Next, he allegedly smashed the head of 4 year-old Einat on beach rocks and crushed her skull with the butt of his rifle.

This ISIS thing is starting to look like something out of Revelations.

Just what I was thinking. For those freepers who are Catholic today is the feast of the Assumption of Mary. Revelations 12:1

ISIS may have been prophecied years ago. This ISIS is fueled by the Anti-Christ, a godless religion that seeks to subject people to that of a man who died 1400 years ago. Time is short and getting shorter

you got that right... you need to check out this pastor in Hawaii named JD Farag... as part of his sunday sermon he gives a “Mid-East Prophecy Update, which lasts up to 30 minutes, in which he compares bible prophecy to the current Mid-East activities... What gives him cred is that he is Palestinian by birth and has a good understanding of the middle east mind set. You can catch his stuff on Youtube... his latest is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaJN0AQtPWo&list=TL18Hvj6p46AlJxmaLUN1nxL_LdWtkQdUN

Damn! They treat this terrorist puke like he’s a legitimate player. The group he leads has been a U.S. designated terrorist organization since 1997.

ISIS has been funded, trained and given weapons by the US in its lust to overthrow Assad for our gov's Saudi masters. The whole idea of overthrowing stable govs that protected minorities and provided acceptable lifestyles for their people is just plain dumb.

We little folk don't benefit from the vacuums created and filled by monsters such as ISIS. If Hezbollah and Assad are fighting ISIS, the question is why isn't the US siding with them? Could it be that people don't matter anymore?
