Lebanese Sheikh Al-Haj Hassan, founder of the anti-Hezbollah Free Shiite Current, has called for a comprehensive review of Islam. He criticizes the faith’s association with terrorism and violence. He asks how killings can be justified in the name of Allah and warns that global hatred toward Islam is growing. He questions where the religion’s compassion and peace have gone when leaders preach violence. His remarks highlight concerns about rising Islamophobia and the spread of far-right movements in the US and Europe. He argues that reform is needed to restore Islam’s message of peace and compassion.
