Husseini founder of the "Lebanese Resistance"?[edit]

In the Shiite context of Lebanon, the term "Lebanese Resistance" is usually affiliated with Hezbollah and their so-called "armed struggle" against Israeli occupation of the Lebanese south since the early 1980s. As the article mentions, Husseini is a strong opponent of any form of "armed struggle", and, as his close friend and associate, the late Imam Musa Al-Sadr, a strong advocate for peaceful coexistence in Lebanon and in the region. He resigned from his leadership post at Amal exactly because of this. There is also no affiliation with Hizbollah, which is exactly why Husseini, although still rather young for a politician, resigned as deputy in 2008 and does no longer held any major active post in Lebanese politics on behalf of the Shiite community.

So, how do you define "Lebanese Resistance" in connection with Husseini? --Ischtiraki (talk) 09:26, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

El-Husseini's stance concerning involvement in the civil war is unrelated to his position regarding engagement with Israel. El-Husseini, as co-founder of the Lebanese Resistance Detachments (Amal) and in accordance with Sadr's position concerning Israel (which he called an "absolute evil)", advocates a non-sheepish (that is, armed struggle) position in regards to Israel's occupation of the South. 94.187.24.127 (talk) 20:42, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear 94.187.24.127. You did not provide any reliable sources for the claim that Husseini was one of the founders of the "Lebanese Resistance". As required by Wikipedia, please provide sources for this. I have re-installed the flag in the article. --Ischtiraki (talk) 07:05, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Husseini is the co-founder of Amal. Amal is an acronym for Lebanese Resistance Detachments, and was the womb that gave birth to the Islamic Resistance, i.e. Hezbollah. It shouldn't take much to make the connection. 94.187.18.178 (talk) 08:09, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
