The Huffington Post is reporting that Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah has said that "Islamic extremists have insulted Islam and the Prophet Muhammed more than those who published satirical cartoons mocking the religion."
He also said that "Islamic extremists who behead and slaughter people [in the name of Islam} have done more harm to Islam than anyone else in history."
Nasrallah heads a Shiite group that is fighting in Syria along with President Basha Assad's forces against the Sunni militants from the ISIS group and al Qaida.
This is a stark contrast to the language coming from the Sunni militants who have called for attacks on Western countries.
Given the choice between Assad and ISIS, our former enemy now seems the less bad of the choices -- at least for now.
