The protests that have erupted around the Muslim world in support of the
Muslims of Lebanon and in protest at the Israelis' war on the country
have been dominated by placards of Hizbullah's leader, Sayyid Hassan
Nasrallah.

Muslims have always looked for symbols of their struggle against Western
imperialism and hegemony. In the past, figures such as Gamal Abdul
Nasser and Yasser Arafat have filled this role, only to be exposed as
offering nothing of substance to the Ummah. Imam Khomeini filled this
position for some short years after the Islamic Revolution, and unlike
secular leaders was never discredited. Unfortunately he died in 1989,
and his position as an icon of Islamic leadership and anti-western
resistance gradually faded. Usama bin Laden filled it for a while, but
too many Muslims were too ambivalent about the problems in the
salafist-jihadist approach, and elements of his methodology, to be
influenced by Western attempts to promote it as the real (and deeply
unpleasant) face of the Islamic movement.

The sight of Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah being accepted as a symbol of the
Islamic struggle by Muslims around the world is welcome for many
reasons. For one thing, it proves that most Muslims remain unaffected by
the poison of sectarianism that has been spread in the Ummah. Beyond
that, Shaikh Nasrallah and Hizbullah offer models of Islamic leadership,
methodology and struggle that are genuine examples for all Muslims,
unlike some of those whom they have taken as symbols and leaders in the
past. We can only hope and pray that Muslims will make the most of his
leadership and example; if so, the US may come to regret rallying Muslim
support for Shaikh Nasrallah and Hizbullah while trying to destroy it.
