Translated from the website of influential Kuwaiti salafi Shaykh Hamid al-‘Ali, who according to the Jamestown Foundation is also designated by the U.S. government as a global terrorism financier and supporter, 20 March 2011:
Question: Eminent Shaykh,why does no one sympathize with Gaddafi while he is under attack from the West?! What is the difference between the occupation of Iraq in 2004, and the Western assault on Gaddafi?!
Date: 20 Mar 2011
Answer from the Shaykh: The Islamic world has not and will not sympathize with Gaddafi, that Satan and son of the Jewish woman, and his mercenaries, while the entire Islamic world — except for the traitor Safavids [i.e. Iranians] — stood against the Western occupation of Iraq. . . .
The situation of the son of the Jewish woman: The Libyan rebels announced their opposition to any foreign presence on Libyan soil.
For this reason no one will sympathize with this deceitful tyrant, and in fact the Muslim Libyan people are against him, and not with him or his mercenaries. He has no history except that of hostility to the Islamic Ummah, and recently to the courageous Libyan people who have rebelled against their tyrant.
