Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Hizballah operates “Museum for Jihadi Tourism” in South Lebanon

Sep 26, 2018 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Book your trip now! Only greasy Islamophobes could possibly object to a Museum of Jihadi Tourism, no? Yet oddly enough, none of the exhibits seem to be about an interior spiritual struggle, or getting the kids to the gym on time, and suchlike. Ibrahim Hooper, call your office! Perhaps you and Pope Francis can take a trip over to Mleeta to explain to Hizballah how they’re misunderstanding jihad.

“Hizbullah Reveals Drones And Missile At ‘Museum For Jihadi Tourism’ In South Lebanon,” MEMRI, September 20, 2018:

In August 2018, for the first time, Hizbullah revealed drones and the short-range 75-kilometer Khaibar missile that it used during the July 2006 war with Israel. These are on display as part of a new exhibition held at the organization’s “Museum for Jihadi Tourism” (also known as the “Mleeta Tourist Landmark”) in Mleeta, South Lebanon, to mark 12 years since the war. Reports about these new exhibits and others were published in various Hizbullah media.

This document presents details from these reports.

The Mleeta Museum For Jihadi Tourism

The Mleeta Museum for Jihadi Tourism, glorifying the actions of Hizbullah against Israel, opened in 2010 and  was built on the site of a Hizbullah military base, partly underground and partly above ground, at the top of a hill.[5]

The museum includes a virtual firing range, with laser guns modeled after Hizbullah’s weapons. According to a museum worker, this helps the youth visiting the museum visualize Hizbullah’s past actions against Israel and enables them to experience the use of weapons and feel like they are participating in the “resistance” against Israel.[6]

The museum exhibits many weapons and other military gear that served Hizbullah in its wars against Israel, such as SAM-7 anti-aircraft missiles. The wreckage of an Israeli Yasur helicopter, downed in the 2006 war, is also on display.[7]

According to reports, 1,700,000 people have visited the museum since its opening in 2010. These include military personnel, the media (reporters from Al-Ahed and from the Swedish Radio Islam), Iranian representatives (MPs, university deans, and Iran’s official TV), and tourists,…

    As for Hezbollah Muslims having construction a “Museum for Jihadi Tourism,” It’s very obvious, for all thinking people who are willing to see the truth, that such a so called “museum” is ,in reality nothing but propaganda center for jihadist violence.

    Furthermore, the Islamic agenda of the many Islamic terror organizations as Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic jihad, etc. of destroying the State of Israel and replacing it with an Islamic “state” is already as lost cause. This is because those Islamic groups with that goal are all fated to lose in the end. For that agenda of those Jihad terror entities are greatly overruled by the God of the Bible. For the Jewish people have every right to all of that land, including the West Bank, by Divine Right. As seen, for example, in Genesis 28:13-15. 35:48, 49. Psalms 105:7-11. 135:4. Furthermore, the Jewish people should also have that land by historic rights. As found in First Kings 4:20,21,24,25. 8:55,56.
    In conclusion, the jihadists members of Hezbollah, Hamas and other like-minded Islamic organizations have joined a lost cause and a bad cause.
    It may even rightfully be said that the jihadists of such Islamic entities have taken up a stand for a bad cause. This is a bad cause to the extreme. The Bible instructs in much wisdom, as in “Do not stand up for a bad cause.” Ecclesiastes 8:3. [N.I.V.]

    Just appalling–but hardly surprising.

    And where is christianblood to tell us that Hizb’allah is just peachy and has nothing to do with Jihad terrorism?

      Please understand that the name of the Museum is (Mleeta Tourist Landmark of the Resistance). The name (Museum for Jihadi Tourism) is an anti Hezbollah propaganda title popularized by MEMRI Think Tank which is an Israeli-backed Think Tank! I have to say that (I do admit that MEMRI does a great and a very important job in translating so many Arabic jihadist material into English and into other languages but here they definitely misrepresented the truth in a big way)! Once again the Museum real name is (Mleeta Tourist Landmark of the Resistance) and you can see it at the video clip below:

        *Good Lord*–doesn’t christianblood realize that what these Jihadists are “resisting” is the survival of Israel?
        :
        Tour guides at the center begin by welcoming tourists to “the land of resistance, purity and Jihad”. How could that be, since christianblood has claimed that Hizb’allah does not wage Jihad?

        And it is not just the guides: in the welcoming video, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah tells visitors that “We hope this tourist Jihadi center will be a first step toward preserving the history of our heroic resistance”.

        Clearly, the idea that Hizb’allah does not mention Jihad, or call this a “tourist Jihadi center” is utterly false.

        Another film declares that “Israel has fallen”–this shows just what that “resistance” consists of.

        That christianblood is now reduced to posting *Hizb’allah videos* is deeply disturbing. How can he still pretend to be an Anti-Jihadist?

          The Museum’s name is (The Tourist Landmark of the Resistance) and it is a War museum that has nothing to do with jihadism, that is an stretch and an anti-Hezbollah propaganda spread by MEMRI think thank! Once again google the information your self or read the Wikipedia page of this war museum below! Let deal with facts Graven, not with fabricated and baseless propaganda please!

          Hezbollah is no saints, they are Shiite warrior militia formed to protect the Lebanese Shiites from Israeli invasions as well as their American, ISIS, Al-Qaeda and Saudi allies! The fact is, if Hezbollah was not present in Lebanon today, Israelis, Americans and their ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and other Saudi-backed jihadist allies would be controlling or destroying Lebanon today, mass-murdering Christians, Shiites and Druzes like do in Yemen, Syria and Iraq! Hezbollah is a Shiite resistance group that protects Shiites and Christians in Lebanon from the evil destructive allies of Israel, America, ISIS, Al-Qaeda and Saudi Arabia and anyone who wishes the safety and protection of these minority communities that I mentioned above should be thankful for Hezbollah’s presence in Lebanon! Now click on the link below to see the real of the Museum on its Wikipedia page below:

          I am against both of the actual jihadists and also against those who enable, support, arm, fund and train the jihadists! The fact is Israel, USA, Nato, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar are real jihadist enablers whereas Syria, Hezbollah, Iran and Russia are the true and genuine Anti-jihadists!

          AND IS NAMED “Mleeta Tourist Landmark of the Resistance”. Check out the trailer of this War museum below or google the info and find out by your self! Let us deal with the Facts, not with propaganda and lies!

These countries I mentioned above, all of them support, fund and arm the barbaric, mass-murdering jihadists in Syria and Hezbollah which you like to (ignorantly) like to demonize protects Christians and Christian Shrines from the US, Israeli and Saudi-backed jihadists! THAT IS AN UNDENIABLE FACT AND I AM 100% SURE THE JESUS IS PLEASED THE GOOD WORKS THAT HEZBOLLAH IS DOING FOR CHRISTIANS IN LEBANON AND SYRIA!

          ……………………………..

          The idea that the Jihad against Israel has nothing to do with Jihad is absurd, as is the idea that it Memri’s fault that anyone considers Hizb’allah to be hostile to Israel.

          I knew that Hizb’allah was attacking Israel decades before I had ever heard of Memri.

          The major goal of Hizb’allah from the very beginning has been the destruction of the civilized state of Israel.

          Its 1985 manifesto states “our struggle will end only when this entity [Israel] is obliterated. We recognize no treaty with it, no ceasefire, and no peace agreements.” Hizb’allah leader Nasrallah has stated, “Israel is an illegal usurper entity” and “there is no solution to the conflict in this region except with the disappearance of Israel.”

          And Hizb’allah has also come out in support of the Intifada against Israel by primarily Sunni “Palestinian” Jihadists.

          Sunni and Shia may hate and murder each other, but they can always agree on the destruction of the Jews.

          How can christianblood pretend this is not Jihad?

          Moreover, Hizb’allah is largely responsible for destroying Christian Lebanon. In their manifesto they made these demands of Christians: that they “open your hearts to our call” and “embrace Islam” and noted that “Allah has … made it intolerable for Muslims to participate in … a regime which is not predicated upon … the Sharia”.

          What absolute tripe. I and other Anti-Jihadists here oppose enabling of Jihad *wherever* we find it–from the West or any other source, whereas christianblood has actually lauded the enabling of Jihad from Russia and China, and *himself* lauds Jihad here.

          And now he is claiming that Hizb’allah–*a Jihad terrorist group*-is itself Anti-jihadist. Just perverse–as though working to destroy Israel and turn formerly civilized Lebanon into a Shari’ah state is “Anti-Jihadist”.

          ……………………………..

          The US destroying ISIS as a territorial Jihad and Shari’ah state certainly helped. And Israel is the *only* place in the Middle East where Christians have freedom to live and worship.

          Of course Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, and the UAE have done nothing to aid persecuted Christians–they *themselves* persecute Christians.

          But then, no one here implied anything else. Why is christianblood pretending that Anti-Jihadists here have said this?

          It is Jihadists’ *own words* that are damning here.

      Note that there are very few art, culture, or history museums in the Muslim world, and most of them are poorly attended save by Infidel tourists. But this Jihad museum seems very popular. *Ugh*.

    That bogus “museum” that was built in South Lebanon is in reality just a Islamic propaganda center for the violence and killing in Islam’s jihad. the Hezbollah members may try as hard as they are able to made the jihad ‘look grand” Nevertheless , this is still a evil and false “museum.”

    By great contrast real museum is the one that was constructed in Lower Manhattan ,USA , which is the September 11, 2001 Museum this is building that exposes the violent murderous evil of Islam’s jihad Therefore , this is a much need and good and real Museum..

    Moreover, don’t let them fool you, the many apologists for Islam is will endeavor to set up a smokescreen to hide the reality of the truth about the violence and deadly essence of Islam by making the bogus claim that the al Qaeda operatives mass murderer on 9/11 were not real Muslims and that they were breaking the laws of the Qu ‘ran by their violence and deadly actions.” The apologists for Islam will further make the totally false claim that “Those terrorists on 9/11 were only criminals who hijacked the peaceful religion of Islam for Politics.” Those outrageously false claims are weak attempt of damage control for the image of Islam to the West. For the “holy book” of Islam the Qu ‘ran. For the Qu ‘ran instruct in Sura 9:111. Muslims who are engaging the jihad that “The believer’s fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain ,they kill and are killed “ That’s just what happened on September 11, 2001 the jihadists of al Qaeda “killed and were killed” in those 9/11 jihad attacks against both humankind and America. The Quran also teaches in Sura 9:123 to that jihad –minded Muslims behavior towards non-Muslims “let them find harshness in you…” Those Islamic attacks on 9/11 were indeed very “harsh.” As Sura 2:191 instructs “kill the disbeliever wherever you find them.” That’s a very strange kind of “peaceful religion” if there ever was one. Just to site one more out on many from the Qu ‘ran about the instruction of deadly violence is Sura 47:4. Which instructs “Whenever you encounter unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them …” Let’s face it, using jet planes a missiles as those jihadist/ Muslims did of September 11, sure made a greater “slaughter among them” then sword can. Wake up West to the actual nature of Islam before it’s too late.

    The deceptive gall of Hezbollah to have a “museum” built in attempt to ,actually “glorify” the violent and wickedness of Islam’s brutal and murderous jihad Therefore ,Hezbollah is trying to call this jihad “good” Likewise, Hezbollah many times calls the State of Israel “evil.” Hezbollah is greatly overrule by God
    If Hezbollah likes it or not the Sate of Israel is of God. As the Bible reveals “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself ,Israel for His special treasure.” Psalm 135:4. [N.K.J.V.]
    Still the jihadists of Hezbollah call Israel “evil” and they with their “museum ” call the jihad “good.”
    To such a warped worldview that results in calling “evil good” and “good evil “The Bible provides the answer to this, for it is written, in Isaiah 5:20. “”Woe to those who call evil good ,and good evil…”
