Many a times, when people are alive, we don’t get the chance to tell them how do we perceive them or what influence do they have on our lives. So when they pass away, the emotional insurgency takes place, compelling us to let the world know how we feel.
That is what exactly happened when Ayatollah Fadlallah passed away on July 4, 2010.
During his life, Ayatollah Fadlallah considered harbouring Hezbollah and being one of its pioneers. Though, never acknowledged by either of them, any wise man can judge the importance of connection after Ayatollah Fadlallah came under CIA car bomb attack in 1985 which killed around 80 people. A decade later, he was labelled as terrorist by USA.
Modern media claims to be liberal and is permitted with freedom of speech but one of its own Octavia Nasr, who had been with CNN for decades, got fired for paying a tweet homage to Ayatollah. If a person is in media or government, doesn’t mean that they hold no personal opinions. May be they had far different experience than CIA with the labelled terrorist.
Ayatollah Fadlallah has been portrayed more of as an American enemy rather than on his stance against Iran and support on women’s right. His practices were pretty much easier to adopt in common life and speak logic.
A human holds different roles and personalities in one life which defines his character. I am not an authority to judge Ayatollah but am sure he must have had some charm which made CNN’s Octavia Nasr and British Ambassador to Lebanon, Frances Guy to eulogize him.
May you rest in peace.
