Saudi radical clerics attack Shiites to create rift among Muslims

By: Abdulali

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia’s extremist clerics said in a statement on Sunday Lebanon's Hezbollah was posturing against Israel to hide an anti-Sunni agenda.

The Saudi government and religious establishment has watched with alarm as the Lebanese group's popularity rose in the Arab world since forcing Israel to withdraw in south Lebanon in 2000 and surviving an Israeli military onslaught in 2006.

The statement distributed on Islamic websites said: "Many Muslims have been fooled by the Shi'ites' claims to be championing Islam and challenging the Jews and Americans and Hezbollah's claims in Lebanon".

"Those who believe their claims have not realised the reality of the infidel bases of their faith ... It was the rejectionist Shi'ites who began the practice of visiting graves and building shrines," it said.

22 clerics including the leading independent religious scholars Abdul-Rahman al-Barrak and Abdullah bin Jabreen signed the statement.
