Voices of and for the Syrian "revolution"

Speaking on a Saudi TV station, Sheik Mohammed el-Zoghbi called on "young men in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Kuwait, Jordan, Yemen," to go to Syria to fight. "We must all go to purge Syria of this infidel regime, with its Shiites who came from Iran, southern Lebanon and Iraq," he shouted during an appearance on Al-Khalijiya TV.
 
-- Speaking in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli on Wednesday, a founder of the hard-line Sunni Salafi movement in Lebanon, Sheik Islam al-Shahal, said it was time for Sunnis to fight back against what he called Shiite Iran's control of Lebanon through Hezbollah. "The (Iranian) occupation of Lebanon must be confronted by preparing every Sunni family and every young Sunni man to defend his faith, his home and his honor. We are clearly targeted," he said.
 
-- "The Sunnis have to wake up from their coma," Egyptian Sheik Osama Suleiman said on a Salafi talk show last month. "This is what the Shiites are, this is their hidden wickedness. This is their belief: If you kill a Sunni you enter heaven. That's their belief."
