BEIRUT: Hezbollah Minister Hussein Hajj Hasan Saturday said the Arab world should confront the conspiracy that is distorting the image of Islam, saying Gulf countries now fear the “monster” they created, in reference to ISIS.

“The biggest conspiracy against Islam is distorting its image and making every Muslim be seen as a terrorist,” Hajj Hasan said during a ceremony in the coastal city of Sidon.

“Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis, Egyptians and everyone, including Christians, Muslims, Shiites and other sects, are concerned with confronting this [conspiracy] culturally and socially - in defense of Islam not a party, a sect or a people,” he said.

“We have to defend Christians and Muslims, not against killing but against this social, psychological and infrastructure destruction that is threatening countries.”

1. I have thought the answer to this latest threat is to let the ME nations handle this. Isis is more

of a threat to them than it is to us. If we absolutely have to help then do it in ways that keep our troops out of it.

2. They are well funded, and advancing...I think the last thing Obama wants to do is involve

troops on the ground. I agree that would be pretty disastrous for us to do.
