The billboard featuring Hizballah terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah in Windsor, Ontario, has been quietly removed today.
WINDSOR, Ont. - The billboard depicting Hezbollah’s controversial leader, which caused an uproar across Windsor, was quietly replaced Monday morning with an advertisement for a car dealership.
The sign was erected Friday morning and immediately drew fire from the Windsor Jewish Community Centre and the Lebanese Christian political group Kataeb. Among other Lebanese leaders, the sign prominently depicted Hassan Nasrallah, the head of the political and military group representing Shia Muslims.
Something like this could not have happened in the first place without a highly disturbing level of support for Hizballah in the local Muslim population—and indeed that is the case.
Hussein Dabaja, one of the people who came up with idea for the billboard, said it was meant to honour friends and family who have died fighting in Lebanon.
Mr. Dabaja said he’s one of a number of local Lebanese community members who had the idea about seven months ago, after discussing other options to honour people back home that included a candle light vigil. He said community members and leaders of organizations representing about 700 people settled on the billboard plan.
This billboard may have been removed because it took one step over the line, but clearly, Windsor has a serious problem.
