It is a great shame that Islam has been demeaned through being hijacked and turned into a weapon of destruction in the same way that an aircraft can be.

Organisations like Hezbollah, Hammas and Al-Qaeda are guilty of interpreting the teachings of Holy Q'ran for their own political ends and in their lust for power.

Nowhere in Holy Scripture is the use of the gun, the bomb or the missile advocated in the promulgation of Jihad.

In fact Holy Q'ran is quite specific that it is one's Faith in God The Beneficent and the sword that should be the weapons of Jihad when it calls upon the faithful to "put the unbelievers to the sword!"

Hezbollah and other resistance organisations have been led astray by the whisperings of Iblis and would do well to remember the teachings of Holy Q'ran and eschew the weapons of the Godless.

Let the world see them resisting the genocidal Ysraelis with nothing but swords and faith.

When the struggle is won it will be all the more obvious to the world that it is through the Blessings of Allah the Compassionate and Merciful.

For surely only through the will of God the Beneficent can men with swords overcome men with tanks.

Let all true believers put their faith in the will of God the Compassionate and Merciful.
