The Muslim world should confront the conspiracy which is distorting the image of Islam, Hajj Hasan who is a Hezbollah member said during a ceremony in the coastal city of Sidon.

“The biggest conspiracy against Islam is distorting its image and making every Muslim be seen as a terrorist,” Hajj Hasan added.

“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.”

While voicing Hezbollah’s undying support for the resistance in Gaza, Hajj Hasan said countries now feared "the monster they created."

"We are facing a real challenge in security, military, economic and social fields. I am not only talking about Lebanon and Syria ... but Persian Gulf Arab states are now concerned about the monster they created in order to destroy the resistance,” he said.

American authorities have officially said that a government minister from one of its closest Persian Gulf Arab states, Kuwait, has been actively involved in funding Takfiri terrorists in Syria in a bid to overthrow the government of President Bashar al-Assad.

Other Persian Gulf regimes of Saudi Arabia and Qatar are also widely suspected of supporting the Takfiri terrorists in Syria and Iraq.
