Which world leader?

Who said, discussing the end-of-days movement in the USA:

Quote:

What this religious trend is undertaking should not give anyone ... any reason whatsoever to hold the Christians responsible for it. Whatever they are doing will backlash because Jesus Christ ... will not advocate Israel, oil firms, weapons industries or any tyrant on this Earth. He will advocate the oppressed."

(the ellipsis is removed because it's a dead giveaway, but doesn't alter the meaning).

Sayyed Nasrallah, who's a little more than worried about Lebanese Christians wanting to kick his bot-bot.
But that's what you get for invading another nation and kidnapping a couple of their soldiers, and launching a few missiles their way too, then cause damage to civilian properties by placing said missiles amongst the populus rather than protecting civilians by staying away from towns and cities when the attacked nation retaliates.

Rats. Google is annoying sometimes. Anyway, as you've presumably discovered, the ellipses were the giveaway that he was speaking as a Muslim, since he appended 'peace be upon him' after the name Jesus Christ. Elsewhere he refers to the 'divine Christian religion'.

Mind you, although he's a bright lad, he's not historically been immune to the traditional Middle Eastern curse of conspiracy theories.

Is it good or bad to see that spin knows no national/religious barrier and can be used by all politicians?
