This is a very timely and important message from Heabollah Leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah that people of all faiths would do well to heed. There are, he says, those in the Middle East now who are deliberately trying to sow religious hatred. This is the age-old divide-and-conquer strategy, and Nasrallah is telling his listeners not to fall for it. Those who allow themselves to be manipulated into hating other people for their religion, he says, are weak-minded. And he is correct. They are. "This reveals to the Israeli and the American how (easily) we, as Muslims, can be deceived."

And of course everything he says about Muslims who have fallen into this trap, could equally apply to Christians, for as we know, there are Christian Zionist leaders today who deliberately engender fear and hatred of Islam among their followers. I could go to the trouble of naming them, but I think most people already know who they are. The media of course give them lots of attention. But I say again, this is nothing more than the age-old divide-and-conquer strategy, long used by the powerful few to control the masses. It has come in a variety of forms through the ages, but this is the form it is taking today. Recognize it. Don't be weak-minded.
