According to reports, Sheikh Hussain al-Matook, a Kuwaiti Shia Muslim religious scholar who opposed the presence of US forces in Kuwait, attended the funeral of the late saint Seyyed Ali Khamenei, may God bless his soul. Sheikh Hussein was then arrested and executed (!) alongside a group of devout Kuwaiti Shia Muslims on charges of "spying for Iran". Let it sink in: A religious scholar, members of his congregation, and the ultimate punishment meted out in the name of national security. This is what Takfiris do: they kiss accusations, turn political differences into so-called religious crimes, persecute entire communities and spill the blood of those they label enemies. They dress revenge in the language of justice and oppression in the language of security. And when the victims are their own people, the hypocrisy becomes impossible to hide. May Allah have mercy on Sheikh Hussain al-Matook and all the oppressed. Hasbonala and Nimal Wakal.
