The story of "Hezbollah"<br/><br/>
Hezbollah was founded 20 years ago by Iranian spiritual leader Ayatollah Khomeini. The main purpose of the group was to train young people to defend and fight for Islam. This is the group responsible for sparking the war with Israel in Lebanon.<br/><br/>
According to the analysis of Robert Fulford, a professor at the University of Toronto, Hezbollah fighters are superior to other soldiers because of their discipline, willingness to sacrifice and firm conviction. Their level of obedience is not something that the average person can achieve. For example, during their training, they can accept orders to hide in isolation for several days with no human contact. Their level of self-restraint far exceeds other soldiers who seek human comforts. Moreover, in order to attain the Islam ideal, they are willing to sacrifice their own lives.<br/><br/>
This year is the 34th anniversary of my ordination, after spending over 10 years in seminaries. Yet my own level of discipline, self-sacrifice and obedience is nowhere close to any one of these young fighters. Indeed, I do not condone their violent aggression, but I can certainly learn the spirit of self-sacrifice from them in order to spread the Gospel. Note: Hezbollah is considered an Islamic extremist group. The vast majority of Islamic believers are non-violent and peace loving.
