Once again, the Washington Post gives a soapbox to terror. This time, in a religious issues section, Sheik Muhammed Hussein Fadlallah (pictured) gets the opportunity to spin jihad as “no different than any human and civilized concept of self-defense.”
Fadlallah is one of Hezbollah’s senior “spiritual leaders” and in the 80s , was the organization’s most prominent spokesman. The Post/Newsweek describe him as “the leading Shi’ite Muslim Intellectual in Lebanon.”
The MSM considers terrorists trendy.

UPDATE July 26: The Counterterrorism Blog points out that Fadlallah is on the US Treasury Department’s Specifically Designated Nationals list. According to Newsweek, in 1983, US officials accused Fadlallah of issuing a religious ruling condoning a suicide attack on US barracks that killed 241 Marines, soldiers and sailors.
