Hezbollah Leads Massive Anti-U.S. Protest in Lebanon: ‘America, You Are the Great Satan’

Hezbollah Leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah Joins Anti Muslim Film Protests

BEIRUT (TheBlaze/AP) — In a rare public appearance, the leader of the militant Hezbollah group exhorted hundreds of thousands of supporters Monday to keep up the campaign against an anti-Islam video that has unleashed deadly violence and anger at the United States across the Muslim world.

Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah group, warned Israel that any aggression against Lebanon would be extremely costly and said Hezbollah can transform the lives of millions of Zionists in all of Israel to hell. The crowds approved of his message by chanting “America, you are the Great Satan!”

Although the massive, well-organized rally in Beirut was peaceful, protesters in Afghanistan set fires near a U.S. military base, clashed with police in Pakistan, where one demonstrator was killed, and battled with officers outside the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim country.

The turmoil surrounding the low-budget video that mocks the Prophet Muhammad showed no sign of ebbing in the week after protesters first swarmed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. Four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, died amid a demonstration in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi.

At least 10 protesters have died in the riots, and the targeting of Western diplomatic sites has forced Washington to increase security in several countries. Diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut destroyed classified material as a security precaution, according to a State Department status report.

The appeal for sustained protests by Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah group, could stoke more fury over the video, “Innocence of Muslims.” Nasrallah has rarely been seen in public since his group battled Israel in a month-long war in 2006, fearing Israeli assassination. Since then, he has communicated with his followers and gives news conference mostly via satellite link.

He spoke for about 15 minutes before a rapturous crowd estimated by police at about 500,000, many with headbands of green and yellow – the colors of Hezbollah – and the words “at your service God’s prophet” written on them.

Nasrallah, who last appeared in public in December 2011 to mark the Shiite holy day of Ashoura, warned of serious repercussions if the U.S. does not ban the film and have it removed from the Internet.

“The world should know that our anger is not a passing thing… This is the start of a serious campaign that must continue all over the Muslim world in defense of the prophet of God,” he said to roars of support.

“As long as there’s blood in us, we will not remain silent over insults against our prophet,” Nasrallah said, calling for a series of demonstrations this week to denounce the video.

Hezbollah’s rallies seem aimed at keeping the issue alive by bringing out large crowds. But the group, whose reputation across the Arab world has suffered over its support of the Syrian regime, also appeared to be trying to ensure it did not spiral into violence.

Notably, Hezbollah held Monday’s protest in its own mainly Shiite stronghold of Dahieh in south Beirut, far from the U.S. Embassy in the mountains north of the capital or other international diplomatic missions. Protesters demonstrated their fury by punching their fists in the air as they shouted anti-U.S. and anti-Israel slogans, but remained peaceful.

One politician, former Lebanese President Amin Gemayel, sharply criticized Hezbollah’s call for protests, saying there were no guarantees they would remain peaceful.

“We understand how the Muslims feel because of this insult against the prophet and the Quran … but is this the way to defend them?” he asked at a news conference.

The movie portrays the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud, a womanizer and a child molester. Protesters have directed their anger at the U.S. government, insisting it should do something to stop it, although the film was privately produced. American officials have criticized it for intentionally offending Muslims.

Protests turned violent for the first time in Afghanistan as hundreds of people burned cars and threw rocks at a U.S. military base in the capital, Kabul. Many in the crowd shouted “Death to America!” and “Death to those people who have made a film and insulted our prophet.”

Afghan religious leaders urged calm after protests broke out in Kabul.

“Our responsibility is to show a peaceful reaction, to hold peaceful protests. Do not harm people, their property or public property,” said cleric Karimullah Saqib.

On the main thoroughfare through the city, demonstrators burned tires, shipping containers and at least one police vehicle before they were dispersed. Police shot in the air to prevent about 800 protesters from pushing toward government buildings downtown, said Azizullah, a police officer at the site who, like many Afghans, only goes by one name.

More than 20 police officers were slightly injured, most by rocks, said Gen. Fahim Qaim, the commander of a city quick-reaction police force.

The rallies will continue “until the people who made the film go to trial,” said Kabul protester, Wahidullah Hotak, among several dozen people demonstrating in front of a mosque, demanding President Barack Obama bring the makers of the video to justice.

Several hundred demonstrators in northwestern Pakistan clashed with police after setting fire to a press club and a government building, said police official Mukhtar Ahmed. The protesters apparently attacked the press club in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province’s Upper Dir district because they were angry their rally wasn’t getting more coverage, he said.

Police charged the crowd in the town of Wari, beating protesters back with batons, Ahmad said. The demonstrators then attacked the office of a senior government official and surrounded a local police station, said Ahmad, who locked himself inside with several other officers.

One protester died when police and demonstrators exchanged fire, and several others were wounded, police official Akhtar Hayat said.

Several hundred people chanted slogans and burned an American flag outside the U.S. Consulate in the eastern city of Lahore. Some who tried to reach the wall of the consulate scuffled with baton-wielding police.

Hundreds battled police for a second day in the southern city of Karachi as they tried to reach the U.S. Consulate. Police lobbed tear gas and fired in the air to disperse the protesters, who were from the student wing of the Jamaat-e-Islami party. Police arrested 40 students, but no injuries were reported, said senior police officer Asif Ejaz Shaikh.

Pakistanis have also held many peaceful protests against the film, including one in the southwest town of Chaman on Monday attended by around 3,000 students and teachers.

The chief justice of Pakistan’s Supreme Court ordered the government’s telecommunications authority to block access to the film. Government officials have said they are trying to block the video, as well as other content considered blasphemous, but it was still viewable Monday on YouTube.

Hundreds of Indonesians clashed with police outside the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, hurling rocks and firebombs and setting tires on fire.

At least 10 police were taken to the hospital after being hit with rocks and attacked with bamboo sticks, said Police Chief Maj. Gen. Untung Rajad. He said four protesters were arrested and one was hospitalized.

Demonstrators burned a picture of Obama and also tried to ignite a fire truck parked outside the embassy after ripping a water hose off the vehicle and torching it. Police used a bullhorn to appeal for calm and deployed water cannons and tear gas to try to disperse the crowd.

“We will destroy America like this flag!” a protester screamed while burning a U.S. flag. “We will chase away the American ambassador from the country!”

Demonstrations were also held Monday in the Indonesian cities of Medan and Bandung.

German authorities are considering whether to ban the public screening of the film because it could endanger public security, Chancellor Angela Merkel said. A fringe far-right political party says it plans to show the film in Berlin in November.

Iran’s top leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called on Western countries to block the film to prove they are not “accomplices” in a “big crime,” according to Iranian state TV.

U.S. officials say they cannot limit free speech and Google Inc. refuses to do a blanket ban on the YouTube video clip. This leaves individual countries putting up their own blocks.

  Make no mistake…Hezbollah and Hamas are worried. They’re worried because they know it’s only a matter of time before the regime in Iran is gone. That regime funds and arms Hezbollah and Hamas through Syria. When the US takes out Iran, Hezbollah’s money and weapons will dwindle to nothing and their backing from Syria will disappear also. This is why hostilities from Syria have been spilling over into Lebanon.
  So Hezbollah’s gambit is to minimize US presence in the region as much as they can and hope that it’s enough to weaken the US’ capability in taking out Iran. They begin with diplomatic entities like embassies then they work on all other western interests..including the Maronite christians in Lebanon. This also has the effect of isolating Israel..a goal Hezbollah works tirelessly towards.

Millions upon millions upon millions of muslims have been perverted into a militant, hate-filled cult of extremism! Reality indicates they will not meet us at the proverbial table, ONLY the battlefield will solve this blight!! Sad indeed, but the truth of the crisis MUST be spoken.

  Man, not sure where the brains are today. Chronology me lady, chronology.
  
  There was no Israel when we made our choice. Our choice formed what became Israel. So, we helped impose the will of a vast minority, over that of the majority. This minority was almost exclusively foreign born. This minority, at the time, was forged out of terrorism and terrorist groups, not too unlike Hamas, Hezbollah, and al Qaeda. They committed acts every bit as heinous. We were their Taliban.

  Islam is the antithesis of the American way of life. The Israelis are much more similar to us in thought, beliefs and values. It’s only natural that we are friends. Look at the photos above. The men and women can’t even protest alongside one another! They TORTURE their women with Muslim garb. Look at the men. Are they sweating their arses off dressed from head to toe, mostly in black???? We have nothing in common with these people. If you think our befriending Israel is a mistake then you are on the wrong side of decent humanity.

  First of all stop telling “we”, you are one of them, you are a Muslim and we all know it by now. Clash of civilizations is not a just a fancy concept, by reading your rants WE can clearly verify its validity as a scientific concept.
  Second, natural resources are nothing, countries like Switzerland, where Jews lived for centuries have far bigger GDPs than most of your Muslim countries. Symbolic and cultural capital are far more valuable than mere stuff, that’s the reason why in one century from now your Muslim people will continue to be inferior and unhappy animals killing and destroying themselves and others.
  This is not racism, it’s all about culture and you know it, I’m sure you can find everyday examples in your own life that verify this.

Look closer. ALL THEIR MOUTHS ARE CLOSED! I am not trying to be funny, but seriously, when have you EVER seen that many women together and they are not talking??? I’d bet a lot of money that those women are being FORCED to be silent! Those women are being tortured in that hot clothing. Some of those women look to be middle-aged (shhh. menopausal). They are probably having hot flashes in those horrible outfits! Do you know how miserable they must be? Do you even care????

  Remember Japanese detention camps during WWII in America? During the Spanish inquisition all Jews were ordered out of Spain. Those that remained changed names and pretended to be Christian. At this time it is unwise for non-muslims to be in a muslim country. And vice versa. You can say what you want about nice peaceful muslims living here. As they increase in numbers serious problems arise. Australia tells them adapt or leave. They will change nothing to accommodate them. That or ordering them out of the country seems to be the best way to deal with them as they become demanding and will increase in number until they can force their demands. They make no effort to accept non-muslims. In fact they will do everything to bend us to their will.

  Elena, I guess this guy did too.
  In 1776, John Adams published “Thoughts on Government,” in which he praises the Islamic prophet Muhammad as a “sober inquirer after truth” alongside Confucius, Zoroaster, Socrates, and other thinkers.
  
  Fact is, we made our bed. That bed wasn’t always the same. Now, people are rationalizing our poor foolish choice to choose a million Jews over a billion Muslims, especially considering the fact that the Muslims, and not the Jews, sit on a huge volume of the world’s oil reserves.
  
  It was stupid, and it’s time to correct the foolishness.

  @Jerk
  That quote from 250 years ago…isn’t it possible that Adams was familiar with Islam’s golden years? You know, back when they were the only ones preserving the ancient knowledge of Greece while Christians were wandering lost in the Dark Ages. When there were hundreds of schools studying the Koran and interpreting it while simultaneously Algebra was developed. That Islam died centuries ago.
  
  Don’t pretend quoting Adams suddenly means you actually know history. For example, how did America help Israel in 1948? Did we sell them tanks or did they make do with Jeeps and armored cars? Did we give them planes of was their air force nonexistent? Did we provide soldiers or were they so desperate for troops that men were sent into battle not knowing how to disable the safeties on their guns? I’ve been to Israel you ignorant antisemite and I’ve seen the mountainsides littered with the remains of what Israel had to use for tanks in that war. My car is at least three times as big and probably twice as heavy. A Hummer with a heavy machine gun would have been an improvement.

Islamists are the Great Satan. America is not killing consulate workers and raping them. The Islamists are hipocrits and are Satanic.

NO the Prez. will no mandate a new law that says anything that is seen as derogatory to the Moslem faith as viewed by the clerics will be deemed hate speech in any form and punishable and given at least 10 years in prison. Of course, anything else said about Catholics, Jews, Mormons and Protestants is fair game.

No, The Islamists are the great Satan. America has not killed people just doing their job and raped them. Islamists are hipocrits and liars and are following Satan.

Doesn’t the hot chick holding the “at your service oh prophet..” sign understand that if she were dressed like that in 1/2 the Muslim countries she would get stoned? (not the bong kind either)

  yeah, I couldn’t help thinking that myself…she wouldn’t even have to go to a different country, she could simply get caught in the wrong part of town RIGHT WHERE SHE LIVES and be killed (after they raped her a bunch of times like the animals they are)…I just don’t get it. Its almost like they’re brainwashed or something…hmmm

I love how the women are marching segregated from the men. I also love the picture of the girl in the skinney jeans and **** showing, droopy thin top holding up a sign around dozens of covered women.

Instead of waterboarding, we should strap such people down and make them watch the YouTube video over and over again. That’ll make them talk!

Can we stop giving these countries money now?

Shouldn’t the Girl Holding the sign Billion and Four Hundred Million at your Service be beheaded by the war of Muslim women? Or is that another Hypocrisy of the Muslim faith?
