Hizbullah Indoctrinates Another Generation

This story is courtesy of the New York Times, which reports that Hizbullah has set up a shrine to terrorists killed trying to get their 72 virgins, or at least kill a few Israelis along the way.
The children crowd forward around the glass case, eager for a glimpse of the martyr’s bloodstained clothes. His belt is here, and the shoes he died in, scarred with shrapnel. The battered desk where he planned military operations still has his box of pencils on it, his in-box, his cellphone.

“May God kill the one who killed him,” an old woman says, wiping tears from her eyes as she stares through the glass.

The dead man being shown such veneration is Imad Mugniyah, the shadowy Hezbollah commander. Until his death in a car bombing in Syria in February he was virtually unknown here, his role in the militant Shiite group clothed in secrecy. But since then Hezbollah has hailed him as one of its great military leaders in the struggle against Israel.

Now, the group has opened an exhibit in this southern town in honor of Mr. Mugniyah, who is widely accused in the West of masterminding devastating bombings, kidnappings and hijackings in the 1980s and ’90s. His stern, bearded face towers over the transformed parking lot where the exhibit is taking place, along with banners exalting him as “the leader of the two victories” — the Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon in 2000 and the 2006 summer war with Israel.

The presentation, which opened Aug. 15, is Hezbollah’s most ambitious multimedia exhibit to date, meant to dramatize the group’s bitter conflict with Israel on the second anniversary of their latest war. Schoolchildren pour in throughout the day, absorbing the carefully honed message of heroic resistance. At night, light and laser shows illuminate the weaponry and tanks, and overflow crowds have been keeping it open until after 1 a.m.
Hizbullah is glorifying Mugh the Thug, who murdered people and sent others to commit acts of terrorism. He's glorified and exalted.

Mughniyeh was a terrorist who was killed under suspicious circumstances. Hizbullah blames Israel of course, but Israel isn't saying. Now, they're using his grave as a shrine to indoctrinate another generation into the glorification of mass murdering psychopaths and terrorists who think nothing of murdering innocents.

And just in case you thought that Mughniyeh was just an Israeli, think again. He killed more Americans than any other terrorist prior to the 9/11 attacks. In fact, prior to 9/11, Hizbullah had more American blood on its hands than any other terrorist group. And to this day they remain the proxy army for Iran.
