Nope.

Do we need to cite the human rights reports: “excessive and indiscriminate bombing of civilian populations”

Particularly the part about lobbing explosives at random. That's how Muslims fight wars. And Hezbollah has unintentionally endorsed it.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah has developed a video game that “presents the culture of the resistance to children: that occupation must be resisted and that land and the nation must be guarded”, presumably by raiding other people’s land, kidnapping their soldiers, killing others, and, of course, lobbing explosives at random into their territory.

Sounds like good, moderate fun.

Where are the moderate voices on this blog? Why are you taking credit for what other people do and say? Why not show us? Are any of the bloggers here Muslim? Show us some “moderate Muslim” rhetoric. All I see here is militancy.
