Thus Spoke May Shidyaq: ""They pretend to speak for Lebanon's Shiites, but in fact they are crushing them. Hezbollah calls itself "the Islamic resistance in Lebanon" — they don't consider themselves Arabs but Iranians. Hezbollah has received an estimated $20bn (€13.6bn) from Iran in the past 20 years. With that, they are buying up land and arms. No one dares oppose them. We are too afraid of a conflict between Shiites and Sunnis. The Shiites are helped by Iran; the Sunnis are helped by Saudi Arabia; and the Christians? All they get are prayers from the Vatican and that's not enough. I don't want my country to become an Islamic republic."" (thanks Nouri)
