How many other double-citizenship "innocent" victims out there aren't in fact innocent at all, even perhaps being members of the Hizbollah? Likewise, how many of them have double-citizenship just to take advantage of it, having never stepped nor seen the second land of theirs?

This is a case I've just found out about a "Brazilian" Hizbollah fighter and his "innocent" family.

I find it extremely sickening and disturbing, and question if it is wise to even offer rescue to these kind of people, Shi'ites! out of Lebanon just because of their opportunistic double-citizenship. Further, any family known to have a Hizbollah fighter should be EXPELLED from America, Brazil, Europe, or wherever to Yemen.

My message to Israel: Kill, kill every single one of these adepts of the philosophy of the Hizbollah. Kill the young men for fighting for the Hizbollah, kill their mothers and sisters and cousins and fathers for supporting the Hizbollah and showing they do not deserve a humane treatment for they have not the slightest sign of humanity to earn it. A mother happy to see her son become an instrument of evil and happy to see him die deserves nor life nor death, but eternal punishment, the deepest suffering, unlimited pain. Fulfil their wishes, bring them the death they seek. These people spend more time thinking and worrying about their deaths, and the death of their enemies, than living their own lives!

I cast an old (pre-Muhammad) Arab plague on the lot of these "innocent", free, sovereign, peace and love, people: May a thousand desert fleas jump onto your lower body parts and may your arms shrink just enough to prevent you from ever scratching them off.

"Ibrahim Saleh, 17, had the passport of his mother's country, but lived in Lebanon since birth.

Trained by the Hizbollah since the beginning of his adolescence, the young man dreamed with dieing on the field of battle and didn't make any other plans.

The Hizbollah gained this week a Brazilian martyr. Ibrahim Saleh, 17, died last thursday while he fought in the ranks of the terrorist group against Israel in the city of Maroun er Ras, in the south of Lebanon.

Son of a Brazilian mother and Lebanese father, Ibrahim was killed when an Israeli missile hit the car he travelled in with three other combatants of the Hizbollah. A brother of Ibrahim, 23 years old, also Brazilian, continues in the region fighting for the Hizbollah.

According to the family, Ibrahim was attracted very early to the ideology of the Shi'ite group, and his dream has always been to die fighting against Israel. "He said he didn't want a common death, like in a car accident. He wanted to be 'shahid' [martyr], die in the war" said the aunt of Ibrahim Zeina Kourani, a Brazilian who lives in Tiro, one of the most bombarded cities of the current offensive. "They told us he had a smile in his lips when he was found dead". Shakibah, Ibrahim's mother, said she was not sad with her son's death, it occurred exactly as he wished. She gave a statement to the paper (read below) but preferred to leave further details to her sister. Proud because he fell fighting for the Shi'ite group, Shakibah received dozens of telephone calls from neighbors congratulating her for Ibrahim's act. "Everybody is calling and telling her thank God he died this way" said Zeina.

Education for war
Shakibah and Zeina are part of a Shi'ite family of ten Brazilian brothers and sisters of Lebanese origin, followers of Islamic laws and adepts of the philosophy of the Hizbollah. Of the ten, seven are in Lebanon. The other three live in Brazil, including a local councilman, Akdenis Mohamed Kourani, curiously elected by a party identified with another religion, the Christian Labour Party.

Although he had a Brazilian passport, Ibrahim has never been to the country of his mother. He was raised in Tiro, a city dominated by the Hizbollah - as is the entire south of Lebanon. He never had any doubts about what he wanted. According to the family, he didn't even made any plans for when he finished school. He didn't thought about a college or profession. His fixed idea was to join the Hizbollah. More than that: he dreamed about dieing on the battlefield. "He knew he was going to die like this, that's why he never made any plans for when he grew up", says the uncle with a calm voice.

Completely engaged in the armed fight of the Shi'ite Lebanese, Ibrahim had little contact with Brazil. The connection with his second country was limited to the relationship with his cousins when they came to visit him in Lebanon.

Zeina says Ibrahim, as many Shi'ite children in the south of Lebanon, started very early to be trained to fight. He wasn't part of the Hizbollah's network of schools, he studied in a public institution of the Lebanese state, non-Muslim. Parallelly, in a secret fashion, he received another type of education. "They take the boys to teach and nobody knows anything, where it is or how it's done. Not even the parents." said Zeina. According to her, the conscript occurs when the Shi'ite boys are "more or less 13 years old".

She calculates that there are around 30 thousand young men at the south of Lebanon ready to join the fight, much more than those already at the front line. Few, however, as young as Ibrahim. "The smaller ones are very few. Ibrahim was a volunteer", says Zeina, according to whom the nephew already wanted to go fight last year when he was only 16 years old.

Besides Ibrahim, Shakibah has another son (whose name she prefers not to see published, for security reasons), who is also at the front line with the Hizbollah, and two daughters, 24 and 16 years old. Since the beginning of the conflict, the family does not know the whereabouts of Ibrahim's brother, who also has a Brazilian passport. "We know he is all right because he sends news, but we don't know where he is", says Zeina.

To a cousin of Ibrahim's mother, Abbas Kourani, who lives in the port city of Sidon, the circumstances of the death of the young man are still not clear. He finds it difficult to believe the adolescent was at the combat zone as part of the Shi'ite guerrilla, despite his premature vocation known by everybody. "I know his brother was the most engaged, but Ibrahim may have been taken there and not been able to exit. What I heard is that he was helping unsheltered people.", tells Abbas. According to the family, which still hasn't seen the body, the funeral will be provided by the Hizbollah and should happen in Tiro, but only when the conflict ends."

"Shakibah Kourani - I'm not sad, but proud. Since childhood, Ibrahim chose this path. All around him, it was also the path all his friends loved. He always said he was going to fight for his people and for every piece of land, and that, with the help of God, he would die fighting. And he did it.

When they told us that the Brazilians could escape from Lebanon, he got very angry and said that was not going to happen. Two days before dieing, he came home, I think to say good bye to the family. He kissed the hand of his parents, kissed his sisters and told everybody that if he died fighting he didn't want anybody to cry for him, because that was his dream. And asked for us to raise our heads, because the Hizbollah was going to win this battle, and God is with our people. I am not sad, but proud. He died with his head raised, fighting. The way he wanted to."

Guerra no Oriente Médio

Brasileiro morre lutando pelo Hizbollah
Ibrahim Saleh, 17, tinha passaporte do país natal da mãe, cuja família é de Itapevi (SP), mas vivia no Líbano desde o nascimento

Treinado pelo grupo desde o início da adolescência, jovem sonhava em morrer no campo de batalha e não fazia outros planos

O Hizbollah ganhou nesta semana um "mártir" brasileiro. Ibrahim Saleh, 17, morreu na última terça-feira quando lutava nas fileiras do grupo terrorista contra Israel na cidade de Maroun er Ras, no sul do Líbano. Filho de mãe brasileira e pai libanês, Ibrahim foi morto quando um míssil israelense atingiu o carro em que estava, com outros três combatentes do Hizbollah. Um irmão de Ibrahim, de 23 anos, também brasileiro, continua na região dos combates defendendo o Hizbollah.
Segundo a família, Ibrahim foi atraído muito cedo pela ideologia do grupo xiita, e seu sonho sempre foi morrer lutando contra Israel. "Ele dizia que não queria ter uma morte qualquer, como em um acidente de carro. Queria ser "shahid" [mártir], morrer na guerra", conta a tia de Ibrahim Zeina Kourani, paulista de Itapevi que vive na cidade de Tiro, uma das mais bombardeadas na atual ofensiva. "Disseram-nos que ele tinha um sorriso nos lábios quando foi encontrado morto."
Shakibah, a mãe de Ibrahim, diz não ter ficado triste com a morte do filho, ocorrida exatamente da forma como ele queria. Deu um depoimento à Folha (leia ao lado), mas preferiu deixar as explicações para a irmã. Orgulhosa porque ele caiu lutando pelo grupo xiita, Shakibah recebeu dezenas de telefonemas de vizinhos parabenizando-a pelo ato de Ibrahim. "Estão todos ligando e dizendo a ela que graças a Deus ele morreu assim", afirma Zeina.

Educação para a guerra
Shakibah e Zeina são parte de uma família xiita de dez irmãos brasileiros de origem libanesa, seguidores dos preceitos do islamismo e adeptos da filosofia do Hizbollah. Dos dez, sete estão no Líbano. Os outros três moram ainda em Itapevi, inclusive um vereador local, Akdenis Mohamed Kourani, curiosamente eleito por um partido identificado com outra religião, o Partido Trabalhista Cristão.
Embora tivesse passaporte brasileiro, Ibrahim jamais foi ao país natal da mãe. Foi criado em Tiro, cidade dominada pelo Hizbollah -como todo o sul do Líbano. Nunca teve dúvidas do que queria. Segundo a família, ele não chegou nem a fazer planos para quando terminasse os estudos. Não pensava em faculdade ou profissão. Sua idéia fixa era juntar-se ao Hizbollah. Mais que isso: sonhava em morrer no campo de batalha. "Ele sabia que ia morrer assim, por isso nunca fez planos para quando crescesse", diz a tia, com voz calma.
Inteiramente engajado na luta armada dos xiitas libaneses, Ibrahim mantinha pouco contato com o Brasil. A ligação com o seu segundo país limitava-se à relação com os primos brasileiros, quando eles vinham visitá-lo no Líbano.
Zeina conta que Ibrahim, como muitas crianças xiitas no sul do Líbano, começou muito cedo a ser treinado para lutar. Não fazia parte da rede de escolas do Hizbollah, estudava em uma instituição pública do Estado libanês, não-muçulmana. Paralelamente, de forma secreta, recebia um outro tipo de educação. "Eles levam os meninos para ensinar e ninguém sabe de nada, onde é ou como isso é feito. Nem mesmo os pais", diz Zeina. Segundo ela, a convocação acontece quando os meninos xiitas têm "mais ou menos 13 anos".
Ela calcula que haja cerca de 30 mil jovens no sul do Líbano prontos para entrar na luta, muito mais do que os que já estão na linha de frente. Pouquíssimos, porém, com tão pouca idade como Ibrahim. "Os menores são muito poucos. O Ibrahim foi voluntário", afirma Zeina, segundo a qual o sobrinho já queria ir para a luta no ano passado quando ainda tinha apenas 16 anos.
Além de Ibrahim, Shakibah tem outro filho (cujo nome prefere não ver publicado, por motivos de segurança), que também está na linha de frente do Hizbollah, e duas filhas, de 24 e 16 anos. Desde o começo do conflito, a família desconhece o paradeiro do irmão de Ibrahim, que também tem passaporte brasileiro. "A gente sabe que ele está bem porque manda notícias, mas não sabe onde ele está", diz Zeina.
Para um primo da mãe de Ibrahim, Abbas Kourani, que mora na cidade portuária de Sidon, as circunstâncias da morte do jovem ainda não estão claras. Ele acha difícil acreditar que o adolescente estivesse na zona de combate como parte da guerrilha xiita, apesar da vocação precoce conhecida por todos. "Sei que o irmão dele era o mais engajado, mas Ibrahim pode ter sido levado para lá e não ter conseguido sair. O que eu ouvi falar é que ele estava ajudando as pessoas desabrigadas", conta Abbas.
Segundo a família, que ainda não viu o corpo, o enterro será providenciado pelo Hizbollah e deve acontecer em Tiro, mas só quando acabar o conflito.

"Não estou triste, mas orgulhosa"

SHAKIBAH KOURANI
Desde criança, Ibrahim escolheu este caminho. Em torno dele, era também o caminho que todos os seus amigos adoravam. Ele sempre falava que iria lutar pelo seu povo e por cada pedaço de terra, e que, com a ajuda de Deus, morreria lutando. E ele conseguiu. Quando nós dissemos que os brasileiros podiam fugir do Líbano, ele ficou muito bravo e disse que isso não iria acontecer.
Dois dias antes de morrer, ele veio para casa, acho que para se despedir da família. Beijou a mão dos pais, beijou as irmãs e disse a todos que se morresse lutando não queria que ninguém chorasse por ele, porque esse era o seu sonho. E pediu para que levantássemos a cabeça, porque o Hizbollah iria ganhar esta batalha, e Deus está com o nosso povo. Não estou triste, mas orgulhosa. Ele morreu de cabeça erguida, lutando. Do jeito que queria.

Always taqiyya and kitman on my mind... Contrary to widespread belief, active deception is practiced not only in Shia, but in the Sunni branch of Muhammedanism as well. Like military djihad, it is a religious obligation, not a voluntary mission. Well-known Quran-exegete Al Tabarani therrefore consequently summs it up like this: "Lies are sins - except they are told for the interest of Muslims."

"Moderate" and "Westernized" Muhammedans sometimes even acchieve to deceive themselves about the grim face of the ideology they claim to want to follow. :lol:

War is deception.

(Business is war, so that pretty much means business is deception. Which sounds pretty accurate for America, right now)
