Fierce Hezbollah Critic Was Emancipated By Fadlallah

Hanine Ghaddar is a Shiaa. But she’s also a fierce critic of Hezbollah and writes in English for Now Lebanon, an outfit that is openly outspoken against the “Resistance”. She shares a personal story on how Fadlallah reconciled her father with the idea of her independence. She adds:

I also understood that only figures like Fadlallah could change the status quo. People who position themselves as anti-Hezbollah, critics of resistance, or atheists, will rarely be heard within the Shia community because people will not listen to them. The Shia who support Hezbollah and those who practice religion with deep faith will be on the defensive when someone like me for example presents a different point of view and any conversation will go nowhere.
