Dan disini disisipkan jawapan dari kekanda yang dikasihi, Al Ustaz Nik Roskiman, PhD candidate, Edinburgh Universiti (http://roskiman.com/):

Saudara Luqman,

Thank you for forwarding the provoking e-mail.

I must begin by saying that your Saudi brother has lost his sense of logic
and wise direction, perhaps due to his sectarian mindset and Wahhabis
brainwashing, may ALlah guide him.

The issue here is not between the Sunni-Shiite, but between Israel-Lebanon. This is the first premise. Ask your Saudi brother, in the present conflict which party that he sides with? His answer should fall in at least one of the three options below:

[1] If he abstains, then surely he is not a true mu'min. A mu'min cannot be
impartial seeing his brothers being slaughtered day in day out without doing
anything. He should take side because this is evil (munkar) act!, condemn
the aggression at least, no matter initiated by who Israel or whoever;

or
[2] Supports Israel? then, that is ridiculous!

or

[3] Supports whatever party fighting and defending the Lebanese, the Muslim
land and our brothers.

In this case whether "the defenders" are Muslims or non-Muslims is a
non-issue. It so happened in this case, they are the Shi'ite Hezbollah and
not the Saudi Wahhabis.! (Saudis have privatised defending their land to the
Americans, by the way)

Had they been the Christian French or the Buddhist Chinese or the Hindu
Indians defending Lebanon, then we would still have to support them.
Supporting them not because of their religion or theological belief, but
for the "cause" they are fighting for i,e. against Israeli incursion. The
issue here is not religion but aggression and incursion of one country on
the other.

It is preposterous for certain bigoted Muslims who still cannot see the
issue from this perpective, but instead insistently confining themselves
within their 'shallow mentality' and 'sectarian mindset' when Big Brother
George Galloway of Glasgow could easily see the simple logic and all out
valiantly and openly support Hezbollah against Israel,
(http://bloggingbeir ut.com/exit. php?url_id= 1787&entry_ id=613[1]) while he
himself is not a Muslim yet.

No Muslims (or even non-Muslims, for that matter) support Hezbollah because
of its name to mean "Party of ALlah". On the contrary many non-Arabs do not
even know what "Hezbollah" really mean. No matter what the group's name is,
even if Hizb Syaithan (Party of Setan), supporting the right cause, and
against invasion of a Muslim land is still mandatory for any Muslim.

As for the Sunni-Shi'ite theological debates on Shi'ites' anti-Muawiyyah and
anti-Sahabah, Muta'ah, Imamah etc., this is not the time to argue. This is
war time and saving people's lives is utmost priority over everything else.

Finally, put it this way: even if Hezbollah people are heretic, deviant or
even kafir and what not.. and Israelis are evil and kafir too, which one
is the lesser evil (akhaffu darurain)?

Wallahu 'alam
